Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided for accessing images. A user can move from one image to another by selecting a direction. The method includes detecting a navigation pattern for accessing images. The method further includes updating a set of cached images based upon the navigation pattern. The set of cached images includes a current set of cached images at a point of navigation, a first set of cached images in a first direction from the point of navigation and a second set of cached images in a second direction from the point of navigation.
Claims31

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform at least:
- detect a navigation pattern for accessing images;
- and
- update a set of cached images based upon the navigation pattern, wherein the set of cached images comprises a current set of cached images at a point of navigation, a first set of cached images in a first direction from the point of navigation and a second set of cached images in a second direction from the point of navigation.
