  • Publication number: 20120201404
    Abstract: In a normal mode, an image information processing apparatus controls volume of each channel for audio corresponding to audio data associated with a currently displayed audio-accompanying image, according to a position represented by coordinate data associated with the audio-accompanying image. On the other hand, in a search mode in which a change is being made to a map display range, the apparatus controls volume of each channel for audio corresponding to audio data associated with a currently undisplayed audio-accompanying image whose coordinate data is associated with a position in a predetermined surrounding area of the current display range while muting the audio corresponding to audio data associated with a currently displayed audio-accompanying image, where the apparatus controls the volume according to the position.
