Abstract
Discussed herein is an information processing device that displays information in an effective manner on a display screen of the device. A portion of the total data is displayed on the screen when the total data exceeds the amount of data that can be displayed on the screen at a given time. The information processing apparatus characterizes the portions of data as already-read data portions and unread data portions, based on a speed of a scrolling operation performed when the corresponding data portion is displayed on the device. Further, the apparatus also provides a visual indication for each already-read data portion on the display screen of the device. Thus, a user can correctly identify data portions that have been already read and data portions that are yet to be read.
