Abstract
Pieces of attribute information classified as a first attribute type are stored as a sequence in a predetermined sorting order in a memory. Pieces of attribute information classified as a second attribute type different from the first attribute type, and the stored predetermined sorting order are stored in the memory in association with each other. A display window of a plurality of contents is generated based on the sequence in the predetermined sorting order which is associated with attribute information assigned to an arbitrary content, upon displaying the arbitrary content.
Claims9
A method of controlling a display image control apparatus for displaying a plurality of contents according to a sequence based on attribute information assigned to each content, comprising:
- storing pieces of attribute information classified as a first attribute type as a sequence in a predetermined sorting order in first storage means;
- storing, in second storage means, pieces of attribute information classified as a second attribute type different from the first attribute type, and the predetermined sorting order stored in the first storage means in association with each other;
- and
- generating a display window of the plurality of contents based on the sequence in the predetermined sorting order stored in the first storage means, and the second attribute type associated with the sequence in the sorting order stored in the second storage means upon displaying arbitrary contents.
