Abstract text

A method for cache image display in an electronic apparatus having at least a LCD screen and a storage device, said method being applied when a user performs operations such as shrinking, enlarging, dragging or adjusting the viewing area of a thumbnail image on said screen, said method comprises the steps of determining if a random access memory in said electronics apparatus contains a pre-shrunk cache image and said pre-shrunk image has nearly the same image size as the one demanded by said user; retrieving said cache image upon the determination that said pre-shrunk cache image has nearly the same image size as the one demanded by said user; resizing said cache image with a proper proportion to form a new thumbnail image with the size demanded by said user; and displaying said thumbnail image on said LCD screen.
