Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image generating processing circuit configured to generate display video data of a plurality of images to be displayed respectively in a plurality of image display sections on a display screen from video data; a display type determining processing circuit configured to determine display types indicating display modes of displaying the pictures of the video data on a picture by picture basis or Group of Pictures (GOP) by GOP basis according to image variations expressing the extents of change of the video data or sound variations expressing the extents of change of the audio data corresponding to the video data; a parameter altering processing circuit configured to alter the display parameters or the reproduction parameters corresponding to the display video data according to the type information expressing the display type on a picture by picture basis or GOP by GOP basis as determined by the display type determining processing circuit; an image processing circuit configured to display the images to be displayed in the form of moving image on the display screen with time lags in the display sequence, using the display parameters or the reproduction parameters altered by the parameter altering processing circuit, the image processing circuit being configured to display the display video data on the display screen as a group of spatial image display sections, a plurality of image display sections being arranged and displayed in a form of a spiral on the display screen and linked in the displaying order, a diameter at a section of the spiral that is closer to an origin of the spiral being smaller than a diameter at another section of the spiral that is farther from the origin; and a sound processing circuit configured to output, in response to an instruction to output sound, sound corresponding to the plurality of image display sections such that a volume of sound at the section of the spiral that is closer to the origin of the spiral is lower than a volume of sound at the another section of the spiral that is farther from the origin.
