The present invention is directed to a method and system for continuously
displaying image pages of digital content which are available over a
network. More specifically, the method and system enables a user to view
image pages in a continuous manner while a limited number of image pages
are being downloaded at a given time. Several image pages which are
adjacent to the image page(s) the user is currently viewing may be stored
in temporary memory. The image pages in the temporary memory are utilized
so that, within the image pages, the user can move the displayed image
pages up and down without experiencing any discontinuation. In order to
ensure continuous display throughout the entire digital content, the next
possible set of image pages is constantly determined and obtained to
update the current set of image pages in the temporary memory.
