Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining an image, from accessible images not already stored in an image cache, preferred for display during a browsing over an image already stored in the image cache, storing the determined image in the image cache, shifting images presented on the display in response to a user input and at an image shifting rate of S, wherein said shifting images includes reading image data from the image cache and presenting the image on the display, wherein the image shifting rate S is frequently updated and is proportional to the number of images in the image cache that are stored for browsing, and wherein image shifting rate S is a rate of new images being shifted in to the display and wherein a caching rate Sl is the rate of which the electronic device is able to perform determining an image, retrieving said image, and storing the image in the image cache, wherein a desired maximum image shifting rate Sc is a predetermined fastest image shifting rate to be used when browsing the images, wherein a parameter U indicates an amount of useable information in the image cache, and wherein SαSl+(Sc−Sl)*U where Sc≠Sl and 0<U<1.
