As shown in FIG. 3, in the coordinate display process, a coordinate axis selection setting process is first performed in step S201. This process is performed based on the coordinate display format setting data input in step S100 (FIG. 2). For example, when the coordinate display format is set to a quadrant type, the time axis is the vertical axis. α and the horizontal axis are respectively selected as the distance axis β, and the time axis α and the distance axis β are arranged orthogonally in a cross shape so that the two-dimensional coordinate space formed by both axes is divided into four. (See Fig. 5 (A)). On the other hand, when the non-divided type is set, the time axis is selected so that the time axis α is selected on the vertical axis and the distance axis β is selected on the horizontal axis so that the two-dimensional coordinate space formed by both axes is not divided. α and the distance axis β are set so as to be perpendicular to each other in an inverted L shape (see FIG. 5B).

Next, a display reference point setting process is performed in step S203. This process is performed based on, for example, “setting data for determining the point and time corresponding to the display reference point” input in step S100, and the point and time based on the setting data are represented on the time axis α. And a display reference point in the two-dimensional coordinate space formed by the distance axis β.
[0056]
For example, as an example of the display reference point, in the case of the quadrant type shown in FIG. 5A, the display reference point γ is located on the upper right side of the screen even if the coordinate axes are arranged in a cross shape. In the non-divided type shown in (2), the display reference point γ is located at the intersection (lower left side of the screen) of the coordinate axes arranged in an inverted L shape. The display reference point setting process in step S203 corresponds to the “origin setting means” described in the claims.
[0057]
In step S205, axis label setting processing is performed. That is, with respect to the time axis α selected and set in step S201, a time label that is “display indicating increase / decrease in time” based on the display reference point γ set in step S203, and the distance selected and set in step S201 With respect to the axis β, a process of attaching a distance label which is “display indicating increase / decrease of distance” to each coordinate axis with reference to the display reference point.
[0058]
When the axis label setting process in step S205 is completed, the coordinate axis and axis label display process is performed in step S207. That is, by the display processing, the time axis α and the distance axis β arranged in the four-partition type or the non-partition type, and the time label and the distance label attached to the respective coordinate axes are displayed on the display 27.
[0059]
For example, in the four-division type coordinate display format shown in FIG. 5A, the coordinate space A is divided into four by the time axis α and the distance axis β arranged in a cross shape. On the time axis α, “New” is clearly shown as the time direction approaching the display reference point γ, which is the current time, and “Old” is clearly indicated as the time direction moving away from the present time. For the distance axis β, “Near” is specified as the distance direction approaching the display reference point γ that is the current position, and “Far” is specified as the distance direction away from the current position. A range that is relatively close to the display reference point γ on the right side of the screen from the time axis α and a range that is relatively far from the display base point γ are provided on the left side of the screen. A relatively new range or a relatively new range is provided on the upper side of the screen.
[0060]
Further, in the non-divided type shown in FIG. 5B, the coordinate space B formed by the time axis α and the distance axis β arranged on the inverted L-shape is not divided, and the display reference point γ is not divided. As the axis label, “time” is clearly indicated on the time axis α, and “10:00” and “11:00” indicating the time and the scale thereof are based on the display reference point γ that is the current time. It is specified in For the distance axis β, “distance from the designated position” is clearly indicated, and “10 km” and “20 km” indicating the distance from the designated position and the scale thereof are the display reference point γ as the current position. It is specified.
[0061]
The label setting process in step S205 and the label display process in step S207 correspond to “axis label display means” described in the claims.
[0062]
When the coordinate display processing in step S200 is completed as described above, image information display processing is next performed in step S300 (FIG. 2). This image information display process is executed by the image information display program 22d described above, and the flow of each process is shown in FIG. The image information display process in step S300 corresponds to “image information display control means” described in the claims.
[0063]
As shown in FIG. 4, in the image information display process, first, an acquisition process of image data or the like is performed in step S301. In this process, the data extracted from the image information database 23 as the image data 23a desired to be displayed in step S100 and temporarily stored in the work area of the memory 22 is sequentially read out, in addition to the image data 23a. The associated point data 23b and time data 23c are also read. Note that the image data acquisition process in step S301 corresponds to the “first step” recited in the claims.
[0064]
  Next, distance coordinate value calculation processing is performed in step S303. In this process, the position on the distance axis β where the image data 23a should be arranged is obtained based on the spot data 23b read out in step S301.
  That is, a linear distance (km) obtained from the difference between the value of the point data (for example, longitude / latitude) set to the display reference point γ and the value of the point data 23b (for example, longitude / latitude) associated with the image data 23a. ) Etc. are determined as distance coordinate values from the display reference point γ, and the position on the distance axis β is determined.The distance coordinate value calculation process in step S303 corresponds to “distance coordinate calculation means” described in the claims.
[0065]
  Next, a time coordinate value calculation process is performed in step S305. In this process, the position on the time axis α where the image data 23a should be arranged is obtained based on the time data 23c read out in step S301.
  That is, the time difference obtained from the difference between the value of the time data (for example, year / month / day / hour / minute) set at the display reference point γ and the value of the time data 23c (for example, year / month / day / hour / minute) associated with the image data 23a. Are determined on the time axis α as time coordinate values from the display reference point γ.Note that the time coordinate value calculation processing in step S305 corresponds to “time coordinate calculation means” described in the claims.
[0066]
When the position on the distance axis β is determined in step S303 and the position on the time axis α is determined in step 305, the arrangement coordinates on the two-dimensional coordinates composed of both axes are determined. A process for arranging the image data 23a, that is, an arrangement process of the image data is performed.
[0067]

That is, in the four-divided or non-divided coordinate space displayed on the display 27, an image based on the image data 23a is displayed according to the position information arranged in step S307. Note that the display processing of image data in step S309 corresponds to the “fourth step” recited in the claims.
[0069]
For example, in the example of the quadrant type coordinate display format shown in FIG. 5A, the symbol Pic1 is in a relatively close range (upper right side) in both distance and time, and the symbol Pic2 is old in time even if the distance is short. They are arranged and displayed in the range (lower right side of the screen). A symbol Pic3 is arranged and displayed at a position far in the distance and time (lower left side of the screen). Note that the displayed symbols Pic1 to Pic3 are all thumbnail images, that is, thumbnails. In the upper left of the screen, “designated position: Fujiyoshida”, which is point data of the display reference point γ, and “date: October 10”, which is time data of the same point, are displayed.
[0070]
On the other hand, in the example of the non-divided coordinate display format shown in FIG. 5 (B), the symbol Pic1 is displayed as being taken at the time 11:00 at a point about 10 km away from the display reference point γ, The symbol Pic2 is displayed as a picture taken at a time 10:00 at a point about 10 km away from the display reference point γ. Similarly, the symbol Pic3 is displayed as being photographed at 10:00 at a point about 20 km away from the display reference point γ. In the lower left of the screen, as in the screen display shown in FIG. 5 (A), “designated position: Fujiyoshida” which is the point data of the display reference point γ, and “date” which is the time data of the same point. : October 10 "is displayed.
[0071]
When the arrangement process and the display process are completed for one piece of image data 23a acquired in this way, the process proceeds to step S311 to determine whether or not all the image data 23a to be displayed has been displayed. If the image data 23a to be displayed still exists (No in S311), the process proceeds again to step S301, and the arrangement processing, display processing, and the like are performed for the next image data 23a. On the other hand, if there is no image data 23a to be displayed (Yes in S311), the image information display process is terminated and the process returns to the image display process, and the series of image display processes is also terminated.
[0072]
Here, in the information terminal device 20, in the screen display displayed on the display 27, an arbitrary symbol displayed, for example, the symbol Pic1 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B is selected by the input device 26 (symbol information selection).

In addition, the screen can be scrolled. Therefore, the display reference point γ and the time data can be freely scrolled and displayed without inputting each time.
[0074]
Further, in the information terminal device 20, in the screen display displayed on the display 27 as shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), both the time axis α and the distance axis β are enlarged and reduced in the set scale unit. It is configured to be able to. As a result, the displayed screen can be enlarged or reduced, and the display can be freely enlarged or reduced without inputting the display reference point γ and the time data one by one.

The location information of the place and date information such as the shooting date are acquired, the symbol associated with the image data 23a is arranged at the position on the map image corresponding to the location, and the date / time Performs processing to display the corresponding month and date.
[0081]
For example, the symbol Pic1 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B is reduced and displayed as a symbol in the vicinity of Gotemba on the east side of Mt. Fuji on the drawn map image in FIG. As described above, since the symbols related to the vicinity of the designated point can be displayed together with the map image, a plurality of pieces of image information (symbols) can be displayed from various viewpoints of the user. Therefore, there is an effect that can help the user to organize the image information.
[0082]
Further, when the information terminal device 20 is provided with a navigation function, a program for storing and storing a history of the passage time and the location of the place where the vehicle equipped with the information terminal device 20 has passed in the past is prepared. Accordingly, it is also preferable to display the past route of the vehicle on the map image shown in FIG. 8 based on the travel history data of the vehicle acquired by this program.
