Abstract
An animation control apparatus includes an interpolation component information creating unit that interpolates first and second component information included in first and second keyframe information, to create interpolation component information expressing an interpolation screen component; a rendering time period computing unit that calculates a rendering time period required in a rendering process of the interpolation screen component; and a rendering determination unit that determines, based on the rendering time period, whether or not the rendering process of the interpolation screen component is completed by a second rendering start time included in the second keyframe information. A display controller waits without performing the rendering process of the interpolation screen component, when determination is made that the rendering process is not completed by the second rendering start time, and then starts a rendering process of a screen component expressed by the second component information.
