Split image page generating apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable storage mediums, and image content displaying apparatuses

An image content generating apparatus comprising:

• a memory having computer-readable instructions stored therein;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to
• split an image page into a plurality of page portions based on a split signal, the image page including a plurality of image layers, each of the plurality of image layers including at least one of an image and text, wherein each of the plurality of image layers includes depth information regarding a display sequence of the plurality of image layers, and when an upper image layer and a lower image layer from among the plurality of image layers at least partially overlap, only the upper image layer is displayed in an overlapped portion of the image page according to the depth information of the upper image layer and the lower image layer;
• split at least a first of the plurality of image layers into a plurality of first image layer portions based on the split signal;
• associate each of the plurality of image layers and the plurality of first image layer portions with at least one of the plurality of page portions;
• and
• generate split image pages corresponding to the plurality of page portions, a first of the split image pages including a first image layer portion from among the plurality of first image layer portions, and the first image layer portion being associated with a page portion, from among the plurality of page portions, corresponding to the first of the split image pages.
