Patent ID: 8600114

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprised of a processor programmed to operate as: a representative image creation block configured to create, as a representative image, a union image with images of screens making up a predetermined scene linked with each other; a symbol drawing block configured, on the basis of a full-screen movement of each screen in said predetermined scene, to draw a symbol indicative of the full-screen movement on a rim of said representative image created by said representative image creation block, wherein said symbol drawing block draws the symbol indicative of the full-screen movement in accordance with a display size of said representative image to be displayed on an output device; and a cumulative number computation block configured to compute a cumulative number of each screen on the basis of the full-screen movement of each screen in said predetermined scene, wherein, if an accumulation is found present in a predetermined screen, said cumulative number computation block sets the cumulative number of said predetermined screen to 0 and increments a cumulative counter by 1 and, if no accumulation is found present, sets a cumulative number of an immediately preceding screen to a value of said cumulative counter, sets the cumulative number of said predetermined screen to 1 and the value of said cumulative counter to 1, and a cumulative number of a last screen to the value of said cumulative counter, and, on the basis of the cumulative number of each screen computed by said cumulative number computation block, said symbol drawing block draws a symbol indicative of a full-screen movement on the rim of said representative image created by said representative image creation block.
