  • Publication number: 20100313166
    Abstract: A menu screen generating unit generates image data for a menu screen (50) that contains a list of playing items of the digital contents. A playing screen generation unit processes the playing of the digital contents and generates image data of a playing screen that contains information on its playing content. A background generating unit generates a background area (160) including a decorative object (162) that floats in the three-dimensional space, as a background of the menu screen and the playing screen, and displaying the background area. When an instruction to play the contents is received from a user and when the menu screen shifts to the playing screen, the background generating unit varies the background area (160) by using an image with which a visual effect is obtained as if the user were moving toward the back of three-dimensional space from a user's point of view.
