Abstract
Abstract A data browsing apparatus displays data automatically in an automatic page-turning mode. The data browsing apparatus has dynamic picture display parameters comprising a frame display time (w), a frame display pitch (m), and a display priority (r). The dynamic picture display parameters may be calculated based on automatic page-turning options designated by users. Dynamic pictures are displayed with accuracy at the automatic page-turning interval.

Claim 15
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of turning pages of data including frames of a dynamic picture, said method comprising steps of: setting a parameter of displaying the dynamic picture; starting a timer for counting a display interval of displaying each one of the pages of the data; and displaying one page of the data, until the timer completes counting said display interval to a predetermined interval, said step of setting a parameter comprising setting a pitch of the frame for skipping frames.
Claim 16
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of turning pages of data including frames of a dynamic picture, said method comprising steps of: setting a parameter of displaying the dynamic picture; starting a timer for counting a display interval of displaying each one of the pages of the data; and displaying one page of the data, until the timer completes counting said display interval to a predetermined interval, said step of setting a parameter comprising setting a pitch of the frame for skipping frames.
Claim 17
Independent Claim
81 words
A method of turning pages of data including frames of a dynamic picture, said method comprising steps of: setting a parameter of displaying the dynamic picture; starting a timer for counting a display interval of displaying each one of the pages of the data; and displaying one page of the data, until the timer completes counting said display interval to a predetermined interval, said step of setting a parameter comprising setting a priority of the display interval counted by the timer.
Claim 18
Independent Claim
81 words
A method of turning pages of data including frames of a dynamic picture, said method comprising steps of: setting a parameter of displaying the dynamic picture; starting a timer for counting a display interval of displaying each one of the pages of the data; and displaying one page of the data, until the timer completes counting said display interval to a predetermined interval, said step of setting a parameter comprising setting a priority of the display interval counted by the timer.
