Patent ID: 8189005

Claim:
A screen display control device comprising: a compression unit which compresses image data; a rewritable video memory in which the data compressed by the compression unit of image data of one frame including line data (Y (Y: natural number) pixels/one line) of X (X: natural number) lines is written asynchronously with reading; an expansion unit which expands the compressed data which is periodically read from the video memory in synchronization with a frame period of a screen display, and restores original image data; a display unit which displays an image of the image data expanded and restored by the expansion unit; an input image data holding unit which holds input image data of one frame including line data (X pixels/one line) of Y lines by M (M: natural number, M<Y) lines; and a data replacement control unit which performs a replacement process of replacing the M lines held in the input image data holding unit of the image data restored by the expansion unit with the input image data and outputting the replaced data to the compression unit, at the time of reading the compressed data of one frame from the video memory, and replaces all the compressed data of the video memory with the input image data by repeating the replacement process n (n: natural number of 1≦n≦Y/M) times, wherein the data replacement control unit replaces (Y−nM+1) th to (Y−(n−1)M) th pixel data of m th (m: 1≦m≦X) line data configuring the image data restored by the expansion unit with m th pixel data of each line data of nM th to ((n−1)M+1) th lines of the input image data, at the time of an n th replacement process.
