Content display device and method for controlling display according to complexity of content and content display program

A content display apparatus displaying a content, priorities being assigned to functions for displaying objects, comprising:

• complexity calculating means for calculating complexity when displaying said content;
• and
• control means for invalidating part of the functions for displaying said objects based on said calculated complexity, said priorities, and an upper limit of processing capability of the apparatus.

A content display apparatus displaying animation formed of a plurality of frames as a content, comprising:

• complexity calculating means for calculating, for each of said plurality of frames, complexity when displaying the relevant frame;
• and
• control means for suppressing display of the frame for which said calculated complexity exceeds an upper limit of complexity.

A content display program for displaying a content including a plurality of objects, priorities in display being assigned to said plurality of objects, respectively, the program causing a computer to perform:

• the complexity calculating step of calculating complexity when displaying said content based on said plurality of objects;
• and
• the control step of suppressing display of part of the objects included in said content based on said calculated complexity, said priorities, and an upper limit of processing capability of the apparatus.
