Patent ID: 8140957

Claim:
A computer-implemented system for controlling a screen display, comprising: at least one processor with memory, the processor supporting the execution of: a structure acquisition unit configured to acquire tree structure data, as structure data defining a structure of a document to be displayed on a screen, in which a plurality of display objects are represented as nodes and a display object indicating a more detailed configuration of a display object at a parent node is represented as a child node; a time acquisition unit configured to acquire required time data which indicates time that has been previously required to draw each of the plurality of display objects on the screen; a selection unit configured to select, among the display objects at leaf nodes of the structure data, a display object having an evaluation value obtained based on the required time data which indicates that the required time is longer, preferentially to a display object having an evaluation value which indicates that the required time is shorter; and a drawing control unit configured to draw a display object other than the selected display object preferentially to the selected display object on the screen.
