Patent ID: 7719530

Claim:
An image display control apparatus for executing a display control to display an image based on an input image signal on a displaying apparatus having a display screen, the image display control apparatus comprising: a display controller to move and display said image through an image movement orbit having a central point of said image as a reference position used as a starting and returning point, and to repeatedly execute said image movement, said display controller having a memory to store accumulated energized time corresponding to a sum total time in which a main power source of the displaying apparatus is turned on, said display controller to count current energized time representative of an amount of time in which power is turned on in a current session and to add the current energized time to the accumulated energized time stored in the memory in a previous session to obtain updated accumulated energized time which is stored in the memory upon detecting that the main power source of the displaying apparatus has been turned off, said image movement orbit having a plurality of annular orbits sharing said reference position in which each of the annular orbits is located at a different position when displayed on the display screen, and in which said plurality of annular orbits includes at least a first annular orbit and a second annular orbit arranged such that the first annular orbit is located upwardly or downwardly from the second annular orbit and such that a center thereof is on a line which extends from a center of the second annular orbit at a direction which is at a 45 degree angle relative to a horizontal line which passes through the center of the second annular orbit, and said display controller selects an annular orbit from which image movement begins from said plurality of annular orbits, based on a value associated with a lower two digits of the accumulated energized time stored in the memory when the power is turned on to start the current session.
