[Object] To enable a user to simply and easily confirm update information of a plurality of pieces of content data handled by a plurality of various application programs without any troublesome operation. [Solving Means] A plurality of update information display cards () are aligned and displayed on a display screen (). The update information display cards () displayed on the display screen () are associated with different pieces of content data, and update information of the content data is individually arranged on the corresponding update information display card (). Moreover, the update information display cards () on which the update information of the different types of content data are arranged are aligned and displayed on the display screen () in a chronological order of the updates of the content data.

Information terminal, information presentation method for an information terminal, and information presentation program

An information terminal enables a user to simply and easily confirm a plurality of pieces of update information handled by a plurality of various application programs without any troublesome operation. An information storage stores a plurality of different types of information. An update information storage stores a part of information updated in the information storages as update information associated with the respective types. An update information manager monitors an information update in the information storages and stores, when an information update is made in the information storages, the part of the updated information in the update information storage as update information associated with the respective types. Further, an information selector extracts the update information stored in the update information storage in time series and outputs them to display them on a screen.

Texture data filtered according to each of different reduction ratio are stored in a texture buffer. A texture mapping apparatus (an lod calculating apparatus) calculates an lod (Level Of Detail) which represents a reduction ratio of each pixel of a polygon. The calculation does not include a divisional calculation. In other words, the lod calculating apparatus does not need many multipliers, as compared with a case in which an operation including a divisional calculation, thereby enabling the down-sizing of the lod calculating apparatus.
