Patent ID: 7092585

Claim:
An image processing apparatus for processing static image information and moving image information stored in an image information storing device, comprising: the image information storing device for storing a plurality of the static image information, and a plurality of the moving image information comprising a plurality of the element static image information each having the amount that is less than that of one static image information; an image processing device for reading the static image information and the moving image information from the image information storing device to perform image processing and generate processed image information to be displayed; and a determining device for determining whether the static image information is being read or the moving image information is being read from the image information storing device, wherein the image processing device generates the processed image information without enlarging the static image information when the determining device determines that the static image information is being read, and generates the processed image information by enlarging the element static image information when the determining device determines that the moving image information is being read, wherein the static image corresponding to the static image information is a static image used for selecting functions in an information processing apparatus including the image processing apparatus; and the moving image corresponding to the moving image information is displayed while one static image corresponding to one static image information is being changed to another static image corresponding to another static image information, wherein moving image is connected between said one static image and said another static image.
