DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention displays, on a screen, a state in which two pages, such as an electronic book (including an electronic comic book) and an electronic magazine (including an electronic general magazine), are spread left and right or up and down. The present invention relates to a display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, a display device capable of simultaneously displaying two pages of an e-book on a single display screen has been developed. For example, page 30 of the “Nikkei Personal Computer October 2, 2000 Issue” issued by Nikkei BP Inc. contains the electronic book software “Gla
ssbook Reader "is introduced. This e-book software "Glassbook Read"
"r" uses the document distribution format "PDF" of Adobe Systems, Inc. of the United States, and is provided by Adobe Systems, Inc., which acquired Glass Book of the United States.
Users can use this e-book software "Glassbook"
Using a personal computer or an information portable terminal in which "k Reader" is installed, book data received via the Internet or the like can be spread and displayed "two consecutive pages" at a time.

[0003]

By the way, in a conventional display device having a page spread display function, a user who is reading is convinced that the two pages currently being spread are displayed as contents (an electronic magazine including a plurality of contents). (Including the set-type content such as, etc.), where is it (in the beginning, in the middle, at the end), and in the entire content, There is a problem that it is difficult to understand whether the reading has progressed to the vicinity (the progress). In a conventional paper book or magazine, such a thing is sensed by touching the amount of paper of the remaining part that has not been read yet (and the amount of paper of the part that has already been read) with the finger of the hand. Although it could be recognized, such a thing was not possible conventionally with a display device. Conventionally, for example, "5/100" or "63/100" is displayed on the lower side of each page, and the currently opened page is displayed as "5 out of 100 pages in total."
It must be the page number "" 63 out of 100 pages
It is shown that it is a page, but since this is only a display of digital data called numerical data (data processed by the left brain), the user can say that the current spread page is It is difficult to intuitively grasp, in analogy (in the right brain), how much position it is in. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem of the related art, and two pages currently displayed by the user in a double-page spread are displayed as contents (set type contents such as an electronic magazine including a plurality of contents). ) (Including the first, middle, and end) in the whole area (intuitively and easily) It is an object of the present invention to provide a system, a method, and a program for displaying a double-page spread.
