Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus that operates a plurality of display images using a pointing device such as a mouse, an image display apparatus, a control method therefor, and a program that causes a computer to execute the method. .

  Conventionally, information processing apparatuses such as personal computers have been widely used in general households. Since these information processing apparatuses are mainly operated by one person in many cases, an operation receiving unit such as a keyboard and a mouse, an application, and the like are often configured on the assumption of one person's operation.

  In general homes, an information processing device such as a living personal computer (so-called living PC (Personal Computer)) or an Internet TV may be installed in the living room so that the whole family can use it. It is increasing. For this reason, information processing apparatuses such as a living PC and an Internet TV used in a living room of a general home have been proposed.

  In addition, in order to enjoy a video on a large screen in a living room of a general home, an information processing apparatus including a large screen display as a display unit has been proposed.

  For example, in a living room, using these information processing devices, it is conceivable that the entire family can view a photographed image photographed by an imaging device such as a digital still camera. In addition, for example, it is considered that a plurality of information processing apparatuses are connected via a network, and a large number of people view a captured image or the like on the same screen on the display unit of each connected information processing apparatus. It is done. As described above, since a large number of people can view a photographed image or the like on the same screen in a general home or at a plurality of places, a technique for making each image displayed on the display unit easy to see for a large number of people. Has been proposed.

For example, when a display switching operation is performed from the state in which one image is displayed on the display unit to the index image display, the image that has been displayed on the display unit until immediately before or an image close to this image is reduced. An image display device that preferentially displays images is proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-231005 (FIG. 1)

  According to the above-described prior art, when a display switching operation is performed from full screen display to index image display, a large number of reduced images are displayed after display switching in order to preferentially display a predetermined reduced image. Easy to recognize.

  Here, using an information processing apparatus configured on the assumption that it is mainly operated by one person, for example, in a living room, a plurality of photographed images photographed by an imaging device such as a digital still camera are taken by the whole family. Think about the case of watching in. In this case, for example, it is conceivable that a family representative (for example, a father) sequentially operates images displayed on the display unit by operating a mouse or the like.

  In this way, in the case of viewing with the whole family, when the representative of the family operates, the preference of the operator is given priority, and the preference of the person other than the operator is verbally communicated to the operator. Often reflected in the In such a case, the preference of a person other than the operator is less likely to be reflected in the operation, and the interest in viewing by a person other than the operator may be reduced.

  Therefore, it is considered that if the image displayed on the display unit can be easily manipulated according to each individual's preference, it can be enjoyed more enjoyably. In addition, when a large number of people operate the image displayed on the display unit, it is important that the image to be operated is displayed in an easy-to-view manner for the operator and the viewer.

It is deleted from the part 331. By this movement, the stamp and the reduced stamp attached to the image corresponding to the thumbnail image 511 are deleted. The same applies to the case of erasing thumbnail images stored in other drawers.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a display example of the display screen displayed on the display unit 150, and is a display when an image corresponding to the thumbnail image stored in the fourth drawer unit 334 is displayed on the slide panel 310. It is a figure which shows the transition of a screen.

  A case where an image corresponding to the thumbnail image 493 is displayed on the slide panel 310 using the father cursor 301 when the thumbnail image 493 is displayed on the fourth drawer 334 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 28A, with the father cursor 301 overlaid on any part of the thumbnail image 493, the left cursor is dragged to the area of the slide panel 310 and dropped in the area of the slide panel 310. For example, left dragging in the arrow 525 direction. In this case, during the left drag, a thumbnail image 524 corresponding to the thumbnail image 493 is displayed together with the father cursor 301 as shown in FIG. When the thumbnail image 524 is left-dragged to the area of the slide panel 310 together with the father cursor 301 and dropped in the area of the slide panel 310, an image corresponding to the left-dragged thumbnail image 493 as shown in FIG. 527 is displayed on the slide panel 310. In this movement, the thumbnail image 493 displayed on the fourth drawer 334 is not deleted. A stamp 315 is attached to the lower left portion of the image 527 displayed on the slide panel 310. Furthermore, an image 526 corresponding to the thumbnail image 495 stored in the fourth drawer 334 is displayed above the image 527 that has been dropped onto the slide panel 310. As described above, when a thumbnail image stored in one of the drawers is dragged to the left of the area of the slide panel 310 and dropped in the area of the slide panel 310, the thumbnail image subjected to this operation is slid. Only the thumbnail images displayed in the middle portion of the panel 310 and included in the drawer portion in which the thumbnail images subjected to this operation are stored are displayed on the slide panel 310. For example, the thumbnail images included in the drawer unit in which the thumbnail images that have been dropped onto the slide panel 310 are stored are displayed on the slide panel 310 in the order stored in the drawer unit. The same applies to the case where thumbnail images stored in other drawers are displayed on the slide panel 310.

  Next, a method for displaying thumbnail images stored in the first drawer unit 331 to the fourth drawer unit 334 and the favorite drawer unit 335 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIGS. 29 and 30 are diagrams showing display examples of the display screen displayed on the display unit 150, and display screen transitions when displaying a plurality of thumbnail images stored in the first drawer unit 331. FIG.

  For example, when a plurality of thumbnail images are stored in the first drawer 331, a case where the entire desired thumbnail image is displayed using the mother cursor 303 will be described. When a plurality of thumbnail images are stored in the drawer, a part of each thumbnail image is displayed in a superimposed manner so that at least a part of each thumbnail image is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 29A, when a plurality of thumbnail images are stored in the first drawer 331, each thumbnail image is displayed such that at least a part of the left end of each thumbnail image is displayed. A part is displayed in a superimposed manner. Further, when the number of thumbnail images stored in the drawer unit is small and the entire thumbnail image can be displayed in the area of the drawer unit, for example, as shown in FIG. The entire thumbnail image is displayed on the screen. Note that the arrangement order of the thumbnail images may be arranged in a moved state, or may be arranged in an order corresponding to the stored time. Further, it is not necessary to arrange them in a line, and the thumbnail images may be displayed while being shifted in the vertical direction. In the case of a thumbnail image corresponding to a photographic image taken vertically, it is displayed in that state.

  Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 29A, when displaying the entire thumbnail image 531 among a plurality of thumbnail images stored in the first drawer 331, the thumbnail image 531 is displayed. The mother cursor 303 is superimposed on any part of the parts. As described above, when the mother cursor 303 is superimposed on any part of the display part of the thumbnail image 531, each thumbnail image (the thumbnail image on the right side from the thumbnail image 532) present on the right side of the thumbnail image 531 is displayed. The movement is started in the direction of the arrow 533 shown in 29 (b). Further, when the mother cursor 303 is overlaid on the thumbnail image 531, each thumbnail image existing on the right side of the thumbnail image 531 continues to move in the direction of the arrow 533. For example, as shown in FIG. 29B, when the entire thumbnail image 531 is displayed by this movement, the movement of each thumbnail image existing on the right side of the thumbnail image 531 is stopped. It should be noted that the mother cursor 303 is superimposed on the thumbnail image 531, and each thumbnail image present on the right side of the thumbnail image 531 is moving in the direction of the arrow 533, and the mother image is placed on a portion other than the thumbnail image 531. When the cursor 303 is moved, the movement of each thumbnail image is stopped. Instead of starting the movement immediately after the cursors are superimposed, the movement of each thumbnail image may be started when the mother cursor 303 is superimposed on the thumbnail image 531 for a predetermined time. Good.

  In addition, the entire thumbnail image 531 can be displayed using the mother cursor 303, and the entire thumbnail image existing in the same drawer area can be displayed using another cursor. . For example, as shown in FIG. 30A, when the entire thumbnail image 531 is displayed using the mother cursor 303, when displaying the entire thumbnail image 534, the display portion of the thumbnail image 534 is displayed. The father cursor 301 is overlaid on any part of them. Thereby, the movement of each thumbnail image (the thumbnail image on the right side from the thumbnail image 535) existing on the right side of the thumbnail image 534 is started in the direction of the arrow 536 shown in FIG. As a result, the entire thumbnail image 534 can be displayed in the same manner as the thumbnail image 531. Note that an operation for displaying all of the plurality of thumbnail images may be sequentially performed using one cursor.

  Note that the thumbnail images stored in the favorite drawer 335 may be rearranged according to the number of markings (for example, the number to which the favorite mark 314 is colored). Thereby, it is possible to automatically rearrange the popular image to the low image, and it is possible to view the popular result in real time without the operator organizing.

  Next, a method for enlarging an image displayed on the slide panel 310 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 31 and FIG. 32 are diagrams showing display examples of the display screen displayed on the display unit 150, and are diagrams showing the display screen when a part of the image displayed on the slide panel 310 is enlarged and displayed. is there. In the display screens shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the shelf panel 320 and the drawer panel 330 are omitted.

  A case where a part of the image 541 is enlarged and displayed using the mother cursor 303 when the image 541 is displayed on the slide panel 310 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 31A, when a predetermined portion of an image 541 displayed on the slide panel 310 is enlarged and displayed, the portion to be enlarged and displayed on the image 541 is displayed. The mother cursor 303 is moved. When the right button is pressed in this state, an image around the mother cursor 303 is enlarged and displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 31A, an enlarged image 542 obtained by enlarging a rectangular image around the mother cursor 303 is displayed. Further, when the mother cursor 303 is moved while the right button is pressed, for example, as shown in FIG. 31B, the position of the enlarged display follows and the enlarged image 543 at the destination is sequentially moved. Is displayed.

  In addition, when another cursor is placed on the cursor that is performing an enlargement display operation while the enlargement display is being performed, the enlargement ratio can be increased according to the number of cursors. For example, as shown in FIG. 32A, when the mother cursor 303 is used to display an enlarged display, if the father cursor 301 is moved so as to overlap the mother cursor 303, the mother cursor 303 is enlarged. The enlargement ratio of the image is increased, and a further enlarged enlarged image 544 is displayed. When the right button is released, the enlarged display is terminated, and for example, as shown in FIG. 32B, a normal display state is obtained. Note that the enlarged display portion may be limited to only one place so that the topic is not dispersed when many people are watching. Further, each cursor may be weighted, and the enlargement ratio may be changed according to the total weight of the cursors.

  Next, a method for displaying a line on an image displayed on the slide panel 310 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the display screen displayed on the display unit 150, and is a diagram illustrating the display screen when a line is displayed on the image displayed on the slide panel 310. In the display screen shown in FIG. 33, the shelf panel 320, the drawer panel 330, and the like are omitted.

  A case where a line is displayed on the image 541 using the father cursor 301 and the mother cursor 303 when the image 541 is displayed on the slide panel 310 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 33A, when a line is drawn on the image 541 displayed on the slide panel 310, the line is drawn by moving the cursor while the middle button is pressed. be able to. For example, as shown in FIG. 33A, a line 551 is drawn using the father cursor 301 and a line 552 is drawn using the mother cursor 303 on the image 541 displayed on the slide panel 310. Note that the color of the line is a color corresponding to the color of the cursor. The drawn line disappears automatically after a certain time. For example, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), the line 551 is deleted from the region 553 including the line 551 drawn using the father cursor 301.

  Next, a case where a plurality of people cooperate to perform a predetermined operation on an image displayed on the slide panel 310 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the display screen displayed on the display unit 150, and is a diagram illustrating the display screen when a predetermined operation is performed on the image displayed on the slide panel 310.

  For example, a case where four members of a family and one customer are viewing images taken with a digital still camera using the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. In this case, it is assumed that five persons are operating the corresponding cursors.

  For example, when the cat image 562 is displayed on the slide panel 310, the left eye of the cat in the cat image 561 becomes a topic. In this case, a line 571 can be drawn for the mother cursor 303 to draw attention to the left eye of the cat. For example, the left eye of a cat is circled and this circle is indicated by an arrow. Further, an enlarged image 572 can be displayed using the son cursor 302 for the left eye of the topic cat. Further, since the cat became a hot topic, the customer cursor 305 is used to left-click the favorite mark 314 in order to store the cat image 562 in the favorite drawer 335. Further, when viewing the image 561 above the cat image 562, the image 561 can be displayed by moving the image 561 to the middle portion of the slide panel 310 using the father cursor 301 so as to pull the image 561 downward. . When viewing the image 563 below the cat image, the image 563 can be displayed by moving the image 563 to the middle portion of the slide panel 310 so as to pull the image 563 upward using the daughter cursor 304. In this manner, each of the five people can operate each cursor to perform a storage operation or the like.

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of drawing control by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, the animation flag indicating whether or not each image drawn on the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is displayed by animation is turned off. Then, an image to be displayed is acquired from the image storage unit 220 (step S901). Subsequently, the reduced image generation unit 230 generates a thumbnail image corresponding to the acquired image (step S902). The generated thumbnail image is stored in the reduced image storage unit 240. Subsequently, the drawing unit 250 draws the image stored in the image storage unit 220 in the display area of the slide panel 310 and the thumbnail image stored in the reduced image storage unit 240 in the display area of the shelf panel 320. Drawing is performed (step S903). Subsequently, the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S904).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not an operation input has been made with a mouse, a keyboard, or the like (step S905). If no operation input is made with a mouse or keyboard, the operation input is monitored (step S905). When an operation input is made with a mouse, a keyboard, or the like (step S905), it is determined whether or not the operation content is an end instruction (step S906). If the operation content is an end instruction (step S906), the operation of the drawing control processing procedure is ended.

  On the other hand, if the operation content is not an end instruction (step S906), an image is drawn by the drawing unit 250 according to the operation content (step S907), and the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270. (Step S904).

  Next, an operation when storing an image in the favorite drawer 335 provided on the drawer panel 330 or deleting an image from the favorite drawer 335 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of image storage or deletion processing in the favorite drawer 335 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not any cursor is present in the star image portion of the favorite mark 314 displayed in the upper left portion of the image displayed on the slide panel 310 (step S911). If any cursor is present in the star image portion of the favorite mark 314 (step S911), it is determined whether or not a left click operation has been performed with the mouse corresponding to the cursor (step S912). When the left click operation is performed with the mouse (step S912), it is determined whether or not any of the star-shaped images of the favorite mark 314 is colored (step S913). If any of the star-shaped images of the favorite mark 314 is colored (step S913), whether or not the color of the star-shaped image has been colored by the cursor corresponding to the mouse that was just left-clicked. Is determined (step S914).

  When none of the star-shaped images of the favorite mark 314 is colored (step S913), or when the color of the star-shaped image is not colored by the cursor corresponding to the mouse left-clicked immediately before (Step S914), the process proceeds to Step S926. Then, one star-shaped image of the favorite mark 314 corresponding to the left-clicked image is colored (step S926), and the thumbnail image corresponding to the left-clicked image is favorited. The drawing unit 250 draws in the display area of the drawer 335 (step S927), and the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S928).

  On the other hand, if the color of the star-shaped image is given by the cursor corresponding to the mouse that has been left-clicked immediately before (step S914), the color display of one of the favorite marks 314 is erased. In step S915, it is determined whether or not at least one star-shaped image among the favorite marks 314 is colored (step S916).

  If all the star-shaped images of the favorite mark 314 are not colored (step S916), the corresponding thumbnail image among the thumbnail images displayed on the favorite drawer 335 is deleted (step S917).

  Subsequently, the management information record corresponding to the image on which the left click operation is performed on the favorite mark 314 is changed (step S918). Specifically, the record relating to the cursor for which the left click operation has been performed in the extraction area information recorded in the management information corresponding to the image for which the left click operation has been performed is deleted.

  Subsequently, for each image displayed on the slide panel 310, it is determined whether or not there is an image in which “5” is recorded as the extraction area information of the corresponding management information (step S919). If there is no image in which “5” is recorded as the extraction area information (step S919), the image storing or erasing process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is an image in which “5” is recorded as the drawer area information (step S919), the slide panel 310 and the shelf panel 320 are set according to the number of “5” recorded as the drawer area information. The order of the images displayed on the screen is changed (step S920). For example, it can be rearranged in descending order of the number of “5” recorded as the drawer area information. Thereby, when a plurality of images stored in the image storage unit 220 are viewed again, a popular image can be viewed early.

  If no favorite cursor exists in the star image portion of the favorite mark 314 (step S911), or if no left-click operation is performed (step S912), the display area of the slide panel 310 or the shelf panel 320 is displayed. It is determined whether or not a left drag operation has been performed on the displayed image (step S921). When the left drag operation is performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 or the shelf panel 320 (step S921), the left drag operation is performed according to the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to the image being moved is moved together with the cursor (step S924). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 or the shelf panel 320 (step S921), each of the images displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 or the shelf panel 320 is displayed. It is determined whether any cursor is present in the display portion of the image (step S922).

  If any cursor is present in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 or the shelf panel 320 (step S922), has the left drag operation started with the mouse corresponding to the cursor? It is determined whether or not (step S923). When the left drag operation is started by the mouse (step S923), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor according to the movement of the mouse (step S924).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation has been dropped into the display area of the favorite drawer 335 (step S925). When a drop operation to the display area of the favorite drawer 335 is performed (step S925), one star-shaped image of the favorite mark 314 corresponding to the image for which the drop operation has been performed is colored ( In step S926), the drawing unit 250 draws a thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed in the display area of the favorite drawer unit 335 (step S927), and the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270. It is displayed (step S928).

  Subsequently, the recording of the management information corresponding to the image on which the left click operation or the drop operation has been performed is changed (step S929). More specifically, one favorite mark counter is added. In other words, in the management information corresponding to the image on which the left click operation or the drop operation has been performed, a record regarding the cursor on which the left click operation or the drop operation has been added in the extraction area information is added. Then, it progresses to step S919.

  Next, the operation when images are stored in the first drawer portion 331 to the fourth drawer portion 334 provided in the drawer panel 330 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of image storage processing in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not a left drag operation has been performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S931). When the left drag operation is performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S931), the image on which the left drag operation is performed in accordance with the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to is moved together with the cursor (step S934). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S931), any one of the display portions of the images displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 is displayed. It is determined whether or not the cursor exists (step S932). If any cursor exists in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S932), it is determined whether or not the left drag operation is started by the mouse corresponding to the cursor. (Step S933). When the left drag operation is started with the mouse (step S933), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor according to the movement of the mouse (step S934).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation has been dropped into any of the display areas of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S935). . When a drop operation has been performed on any of the display areas of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S935), the drop-down image and the thumbnail image corresponding thereto are displayed in the lower left part. A stamp is drawn (step S936). Subsequently, the drawing unit 250 draws a thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed in the display area of the drawer unit on which the drop operation has been performed (step S937), and the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed. It is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S938).

  Subsequently, the recording of management information corresponding to the image for which the drop operation has been performed is changed (step S939). For example, when an image is stored in the first drawer 331 by the drop operation, “1” is recorded as the drawer area information of the management information corresponding to the image.

  If the cursor is not present in any of the display portions of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S932), the thumbnail image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 is left dragged. It is determined whether or not an operation has been performed (step S940). When the left drag operation is performed on the thumbnail image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S940), the left drag operation is performed in accordance with the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to the thumbnail image is moved together with the cursor (step S944). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the thumbnail image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S940), any one of the thumbnail images displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 is displayed. It is determined whether or not there is a cursor (step S941). If any cursor is present in the display portion of the thumbnail image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S941), it is determined whether or not a left click operation has been performed with the mouse corresponding to the cursor. (Step S942). When the left click operation is performed with the mouse (step S942), the drawing unit 250 draws a stamp on the thumbnail image on which the left click operation has been performed and the lower left portion of the corresponding image (step S936). Then, the drawing unit 250 draws the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the left drag operation has been performed in the display area of the drawer unit corresponding to the cursor on which the left click operation has been performed (step S937).

  On the other hand, when the left click operation is not performed with the mouse (step S942), it is determined whether the left drag operation is started with the mouse (step S943). When the left drag operation is started with the mouse (step S943), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor in accordance with the movement of the mouse (step S944). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation has been dropped into any of the display areas of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S945). . If a drop operation has been performed on any of the display areas of the first drawer unit 331 to the fourth drawer unit 334 (step S945), the drop-down image and the thumbnail image corresponding thereto are displayed in the lower left part. A stamp is drawn (step S936).

  Next, an operation when moving an image from the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 provided on the drawer panel 330 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of image movement processing in the first drawer unit 331 to the fourth drawer unit 334 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not a thumbnail image exists in any of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S951). If a thumbnail image exists in any of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S951), a left drag operation is performed on the thumbnail images present in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334. Is determined (step S952). When the left drag operation is performed on the thumbnail images existing in the first drawer unit 331 to the fourth drawer unit 334 (step S952), the left drag operation is performed according to the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to the image being moved is moved together with the cursor (step S955). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the thumbnail images existing in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S952), the thumbnail images existing in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 are displayed. It is determined whether or not any cursor exists in the display part (step S953). When there is no thumbnail image in any of the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S951), or in any of the thumbnail image display portions existing in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 If the cursor does not exist (step S953), the operation of the movement process is terminated.

  If the cursor is present on any of the thumbnail image display portions existing in the first drawer 331 to the fourth drawer 334 (step S953), whether or not the left drag operation has been started by the mouse corresponding to the cursor. Is determined (step S954). When the left drag operation is started with the mouse (step S954), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor according to the movement of the mouse (step S955).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation has been dropped into any of the display areas of the other drawers (step S956). When the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation is dropped into any of the display areas of the other drawers (step S956), the dropped image and the corresponding image is displayed. The stamp in the lower left part of the thumbnail image is changed to the destination color, and the drawing unit 250 draws the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed in the display area of the drawer unit on which the drop operation has been performed. In step S957, the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S958).

  Subsequently, the recording of management information corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed is changed (step S959). For example, when the image is moved from the first drawer 331 to the third drawer 333 by the drop operation, the drawer area information of the management information corresponding to the image is changed from “1” to “3”. Recorded.

  In addition, when the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation is not dropped in any display area of the other drawer (step S956), the drop operation is performed on the display area of the slide panel 310. It is determined whether or not (step S962). When the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation is dropped onto the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S962), the image corresponding to the thumbnail image moved together with the cursor is displayed on the slide panel. The drawing unit 250 draws in the display area 310 (step S963), and the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S964).

  If the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation is not dropped onto the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S962), whether or not the drop operation to the display area of the shelf panel 320 has been performed. Is determined (step S965). When the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation has been dropped onto the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S965), the lower left of the image that has been dropped and the corresponding thumbnail image. The drawing part 250 erases and draws the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed from the display area of the drawer unit on which the drop operation has been performed. The image thus displayed is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S966).

  Subsequently, the recording of management information corresponding to the image on which the drop operation has been performed is changed (step S967). For example, when the image is moved from the first drawer 331 to the shelf panel 320 by the drop operation, “1” recorded as the drawer area information of the management information corresponding to the image is deleted. When the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation is not dropped onto the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S965), the operation of the moving process is terminated.

  Further, when the cursor is present in any of the thumbnail image display portions existing in the first drawer unit 331 to the fourth drawer unit 334 (step S953), the left drag operation is not started by the mouse corresponding to the cursor. In step S954, it is determined whether or not the entire thumbnail image under the cursor is displayed (step S960). If the entire thumbnail image under the cursor is not displayed (step S960), the thumbnail image on the right side of the thumbnail image under the cursor is moved to the right in the left-right direction (step S961). On the other hand, when the entire thumbnail image under the cursor is displayed (step S960), the operation of the moving process is terminated.

  As described above, when a plurality of photographic images are stored in the region of the drawer when the displayed photographic images are classified, at least a part of the stored photographic images is displayed. Therefore, the participant can recognize all the stored images without scrolling. Note that the overlap density of the photos is varied according to the region of the drawer. Also, by hovering the cursor over the stored photographic image, it is possible to display and browse all the images under the cursor. Furthermore, even when a plurality of cursors are superimposed on different photographic images, a plurality of operations can be handled by processing each photographic image in the same manner.

  Next, the operation in the case of synchronizing the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 and the thumbnail image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of image synchronization processing between the slide panel 310 and the shelf panel 320 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not a left drag operation has been performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S971). When the left drag operation is performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S971), the image on which the left drag operation is performed in accordance with the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to is moved together with the cursor (step S974). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S971), any one of the display portions of the images displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 is displayed. It is determined whether or not the cursor exists (step S972). If any cursor is present in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S972), it is determined whether or not the left drag operation has been started with the mouse corresponding to the cursor. (Step S973). When the left drag operation is started with the mouse (step S973), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor according to the movement of the mouse (step S974).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation has been dropped onto the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S975). When the drop operation to the display area of the shelf panel 320 is performed (step S975), the drawing unit 250 draws a row of thumbnail images including the thumbnail image for which the drop operation has been performed in the display area of the shelf panel 320. (Step S976), the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S977).

  If the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation is not dropped into the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S975), the operation of the synchronization processing procedure ends.

  If any cursor does not exist in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S972), or if the left drag operation is not started with the mouse (step S973), It is determined whether or not a left drag operation has been performed on the image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S978). When the left drag operation is performed on the image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S978), the image on which the left drag operation is performed in accordance with the movement of the mouse on which the left drag operation is performed. The thumbnail image corresponding to is moved together with the cursor (step S981). On the other hand, when the left drag operation is not performed on the image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S978), any one of the display portions of the images displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 is displayed. It is determined whether or not the cursor exists (step S979).

  If any cursor exists in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S979), it is determined whether or not the left drag operation is started by the mouse corresponding to the cursor. (Step S980). When the left drag operation is started by the mouse (step S980), the thumbnail image corresponding to the image on which the cursor exists is moved together with the cursor according to the movement of the mouse (step S981).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image moved by the left drag operation has been dropped onto the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S982). When the drop operation to the display area of the slide panel 310 is performed (step S982), the drawing unit 250 draws an image corresponding to the thumbnail image for which the drop operation has been performed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S982). In step S983, the image drawn by the drawing unit 250 is displayed on the display unit 270 (step S977).

  If the thumbnail image that has been moved by the left drag operation is not dropped into the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S982), the operation of the synchronization processing procedure ends.

  Further, when any cursor does not exist in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S979), or when the left drag operation is not started with the mouse (step S980), The operation of the synchronous processing procedure ends.

  Thus, the main area and the thumbnail area can be browsed independently. For this reason, particularly when a plurality of people use the information processing apparatus 100 to perform operations or browse, even if the content displayed in the main area is changed to the next content by another person, the progress of the content is displayed. Thumbnails can be browsed without interruption, and classification from a thumbnail area to a drawer can be easily performed.

  In addition to supporting independent movement of the main area and thumbnail area, it is possible to easily align the content position of the main area and thumbnail area by left dragging the displayed content. Flexible operation according to the place can be easily performed.

  Next, an operation when moving an image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 with a plurality of mice will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart illustrating the processing procedure of the image moving process of the slide panel 310 by the information processing apparatus 100. Here, a case will be described in which each cursor is weighted and an image is moved in accordance with the total weighted value of the cursor.

  First, it is determined whether or not any cursor is present in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S991). If any cursor is present in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S991), whether or not a left drag operation has been performed in the vertical direction with the mouse corresponding to the cursor. Is determined (step S992).

  Subsequently, when a left drag operation is performed in the up / down direction with any mouse (step S992), the sum of the weighting coefficients of the cursor being left dragged is obtained for each of the upper and lower sides in the vertical direction. (Step S993). Subsequently, the image is moved in the direction in which the calculated total value is large (step S996). When there is one cursor that is left dragged, the image is moved according to the movement of the cursor.

  Further, when the cursor does not exist in any of the display portions of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S991), or the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 When the left drag operation is not performed in the vertical direction with the mouse corresponding to the cursor existing in (Step S992), the image moving process on the slide panel 310 is terminated.

  For example, the weighting coefficient of the father cursor 301 is “3.1”, the weighting coefficient of the son cursor 302 is “1.1”, the weighting coefficient of the mother cursor 303 is “2.1”, and the weighting coefficient of the daughter cursor 304 is Is “1.1”. In this case, when a left drag operation is performed on the upper side in the vertical direction by the son cursor 302 and the daughter cursor 304 while the left drag operation is performed on the lower side in the vertical direction by the father cursor 301, The total of the weighting coefficients of the cursor that is left dragged to the side is “3.1”, whereas the total of the weighting coefficients of the cursor that is left dragged to the upper side in the vertical direction is “2.2”. It is. For this reason, the image is moved downward in the vertical direction. When the left cursor operation is performed on the upper side in the vertical direction by the mother cursor 303 and the daughter cursor 304 while the left drag operation is performed on the lower side in the vertical direction by the father cursor 301, the lower side in the vertical direction. The total of the weighting coefficients of the cursor being left dragged is “3.1”, whereas the total of the weighting coefficients of the cursor being left dragged up and down is “3.2”. . For this reason, the image is moved upward in the vertical direction. For example, when there are four participants in a slide show that can be operated simultaneously by a plurality of people, the power of the presenter is “3” and the power of other participants is “1.1”. In this case, when the power “3” of one presenter is compared with the power “2.2” of two other participants, the power of one presenter is stronger. However, if the power of one presenter “3” is compared with the power of “3.3” that combines the other three participants, the power of the other three participants will exceed the power of the presenter. Can do.

  In this way, when the displayed image is operated by multiple people, the role of each cursor can be clarified by displaying multiple designed cursors on the display screen and weighting each cursor. A plurality of balanced simultaneous operations can be performed. As a result, it is possible to give the presenter the meaning of participating in other participants while maintaining the operability of making the flow easy, and it is possible to build a balanced relationship.

  Next, an operation when a line is drawn on an image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of a drawing process for drawing a line on an image of the slide panel 310 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not any cursor exists in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S1001). If any cursor exists in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S1001), it is determined whether or not the middle button of the mouse corresponding to the cursor has been pressed. (Step S1002). If the middle mouse button has been pressed (step S1002), it is further determined whether or not the cursor has been moved with the mouse while the middle mouse button is being pressed (step S1003).

  When the cursor is moved by the mouse while the middle button of the mouse is pressed (step S1003), a line is drawn along the locus of the moving cursor (step S1004), and the drawn line is displayed on the slide panel 310. (Step S1005). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the middle button of the mouse has been pressed (step S1006). If the middle mouse button has not been pressed (step S1006), the process proceeds to step S1003. If the middle mouse button has been pressed (step S1006), the process proceeds to step S1007.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a line is drawn on the image of the slide panel 310 (step S1007). If a line is drawn on the image of the slide panel 310 (step S1007), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the end of the operation for drawing the line (step S1008). If a predetermined time has elapsed since the end of the operation in which the line is drawn (step S1008), the line is deleted (step S1009), and the operation of the line drawing processing procedure ends.

  Next, an operation when a part of an image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 is enlarged and displayed will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 42 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the enlarged display processing of a part of the image on the slide panel 310 by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether any cursor is present in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S1011). If any cursor exists in the display portion of each image displayed in the display area of the slide panel 310 (step S1011), it is determined whether or not the right button of the mouse corresponding to the cursor has been pressed. (Step S1012). When the right mouse button is pressed (step S1012), a rectangular peripheral image centered on the cursor is enlarged and drawn (step S1013), and the drawn image is displayed (step S1014). .

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the cursor has been moved while the right button of the mouse is pressed (step S1015). If the cursor is moved while the right button of the mouse is pressed (step S1015), a rectangular peripheral image centered on the cursor is enlarged and drawn as the cursor moves (step S1015). In step S1016, the drawn images are sequentially displayed (step S1017). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the right button has been pressed (step S1018). If the right button has not been pressed (step S1018), the process proceeds to step S1015. If the right button has been pressed (step S1018), the peripheral image of the cursor is deleted (step S1019). Then, the operation of the enlarged display processing procedure ends.

  If the cursor is not moved while the right button of the mouse is pressed (step S1015), it is determined whether another cursor is superimposed on the cursor (step S1020). If another cursor is not superimposed on the cursor (step S1020), the process proceeds to step S1016. If another cursor is superimposed on the cursor, depending on the number of cursors superimposed, Drawing is performed with an enlargement ratio of the image around the cursor (step S1021), and the drawn image is displayed (step S1022). In step S1021, the size of the image around the cursor may be enlarged according to the number of cursors that are overlaid.

  When a part of the image displayed on the slide panel 310 is enlarged and displayed, the enlargement ratio of the presenter (for example, dad) is set high, and the enlargement ratio of other participants is set low. Good. In this case, the balance of the presenter center can be maintained. In addition, the magnification rate can be easily increased by overlapping the cursors of other participants. Note that it is possible to prevent the participants' attention from being dispersed by not allowing a plurality of screen enlargement points at the same time but by narrowing them to one.

  Next, the operation when changing the number of thumbnail images displayed on the shelf panel 320 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure for changing the number of thumbnail images displayed by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not there is a cursor that is dragging any of the right handle portion 326, the upper handle portion 327, and the lower handle portion 328 (step S1031). For example, FIG. 15 shows a case where the right handle 326 is dragged to the right in the x direction by the father cursor 301.

  If there is a cursor that is dragging any of the right handle 326, the upper handle 327, and the lower handle 328 (step S1031), the right handle 326 is left dragged in the x direction by the cursor. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step S1032). For example, FIG. 15 shows a case where the left drag operation is performed in the x direction (right side) on the display screen 390 by the father cursor 301 existing on the right handle portion 326.

  For example, when the right handle 326 is left dragged in the x direction by the cursor (step S1032), the right handle 326 is moved in accordance with the left drag operation (step S1033). That is, the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is changed. Even when the right handle 326 is left dragged in the x direction by a plurality of cursors (step S1032), the left drag operation is performed with these cursors superimposed on the right handle 326. If the condition is satisfied, the operation of each cursor that satisfies the condition is reflected (step S1033).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (high) (step S1034). For example, it is determined whether or not the width 400 of the display area on the display screen 390 is equal to or greater than the threshold 402 (high) 402.

  When the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 exceeds a predetermined threshold (high) (step S1034), a setting is made to add a row of thumbnail images to the thumbnail image display area (step S1035). ). For example, as shown in FIG. 15, in the display screen 390 on which ten (5 rows × 2 columns) thumbnail images are displayed on the shelf panel 320, the width 400 of the display area is equal to or higher than a threshold 402. In this case (step S1034), 15 thumbnail images (5 rows × 3 columns) are set to be displayed in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S1035). In addition, when the setting for adding a row of thumbnail images to the thumbnail image display area is made in this way (step S1035), among the thumbnail images stored in the reduced image storage unit 240, the shelf panel is displayed. Thumbnail images in units of one line arranged next to the thumbnail images displayed in the thumbnail image display area 320 are read and displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the thumbnail images 1 to 10 are displayed on the shelf panel 320, the thumbnail images 11 to 15 arranged next to the thumbnail images 6 to 10 are read. Displayed. Subsequently, an animation flag for executing an animation for displaying 15 (5 rows × 3 columns) thumbnail images in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is turned on (step S1038), and the number of thumbnail images displayed is changed. End the operation.

  On the other hand, when the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is not equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold (high) (step S1034), the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold (low). It is determined whether or not (step S1036).

  When the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold (low) (step S1036), a setting is made to delete the thumbnail images in the rightmost row from the thumbnail image display area (step S1036). Step S1037). For example, in the case where 15 (5 rows × 2 columns) thumbnail images are displayed on the shelf panel 320 shown in FIG. 15, when the width 400 of the display area is equal to or less than the threshold (low) 401 (step S1036), 10 thumbnail images (5 rows × 2 columns) are set to be displayed in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 (step S1037). Subsequently, an animation flag for executing an animation for displaying ten (5 rows × 2 columns) thumbnail images in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is turned on (step S1038), and the number of thumbnail images displayed is changed. End the operation.

  If there is no cursor dragging any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 (step S1031), it is determined whether or not the animation flag is turned on. (Step S1039). If the animation flag is not turned on (step S1039), the operation of changing the thumbnail image display number is terminated.

  When the animation flag is turned on (step S1039), the right side is set to the target position which is a position for displaying the number of thumbnail images set in step S1035 or step S1037 in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320. A process of moving the handle 326 by animation is executed (step S1040). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the right handle portion 326 has reached the target position by animation (step S1041). That is, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is an appropriate area for displaying the number of thumbnail images set in step S1035 or step S1037. If the right handle 326 has not reached the target position (step S1041), the operation of changing the number of thumbnail images displayed is terminated while the animation flag is ON. On the other hand, if the right handle 326 has reached the target position (step S1041), the animation flag is turned off (step S1042), and the operation of changing the thumbnail image display number is terminated.

  Even when the operation of changing the number of thumbnail image displays is completed, even when there is no cursor that is dragging any of the right handle 326, the upper handle 327, and the lower handle 328 (step S1031). ) When the animation flag is ON, the processing procedure in steps S1040 and S1041 is executed, so that the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 becomes an appropriate area by animation.

  When the right handle 326 is left dragged in the x direction by the cursor (step S1032), the width of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 does not exceed a predetermined threshold (high) (step S1034). In addition, when the user stops the left drag operation in a state where it does not fall below the predetermined threshold (low) (step S1036), the position before the left drag operation is performed in step S907 shown in FIG. The right handle portion 326 can be returned by animation. Further, when there is a cursor that is dragging any one of the right handle portion 326, the upper handle portion 327, and the lower handle portion 328 (step S1031), the right handle portion 326 is left dragged in the x direction by the cursor. If not operated (step S1032), the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion 328 is left dragged in the y direction by the cursor. In this case, the operation of changing the number of thumbnail image displays is terminated without executing the animation process. As described above, when any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 is dragged, the animation process is executed in order to prioritize the process according to the drag operation by the operator. Not.

  Next, the operation when switching the thumbnail images displayed on the shelf panel 320 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 44 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of thumbnail image display switching processing by the information processing apparatus 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not there is a cursor that is dragging any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 (step S1051). For example, FIG. 16 shows a case where the lower handle portion 328 is dragged upward in the y direction by the father cursor 301.

  If there is a cursor that is dragging any one of the right handle 326, the upper handle 327, and the lower handle 328 (step S1051), the upper handle 327 or the lower handle 328 is moved by the cursor. It is determined whether a left drag operation is performed in the y direction (step S1052).

  For example, when the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion 328 is further left dragged in the y direction by the cursor (step S1052), the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion is selected according to the left drag operation. Along with 328, the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is moved (step S1053). That is, each thumbnail image displayed on the shelf panel 320 is moved. Even when the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion 328 is left dragged in the y direction by a plurality of cursors (step S1052), these cursors are located on the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion 328. When the condition that the left drag operation is performed in a state where the cursor is overlaid on is satisfied, the operation of each cursor satisfying the condition is reflected (step S1053).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (high) (step S1054). For example, a left drag operation is performed using the lower handle portion 328, and it is determined whether or not the y coordinate 410 of the display area on the display screen 391 is equal to or greater than a threshold (high) 411.

  When the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold (high) (step S1054), a setting is made to move the next thumbnail image display area to the center of the shelf panel 320. (Step S1055). For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when ten (5 rows × 2 columns) thumbnail images 1 to 10 are displayed on the shelf panel 320, the y coordinate 410 of the display area is a threshold (high). If it is 411 or more (step S1054), the thumbnail images 11 to 20 arranged next to the thumbnail images 1 to 10 in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 (shown in FIG. 4B). Is set to be displayed (step S1055). Subsequently, an animation flag for executing an animation for displaying the next thumbnail image arranged in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is turned on (step S1058), and the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process is ended. .

  On the other hand, if the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is not equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold (high) (step S1054), the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is the predetermined threshold (low). It is determined whether or not the following has been reached (step S1056). For example, it is determined whether or not the left drag operation is performed using the upper handle portion 327 and the y coordinate 410 of the display area on the display screen 391 is equal to or lower than the threshold (low) 412.

  When the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (low) (step S1056), a setting is made to move the previous thumbnail image display area to the center of the shelf panel 320. (Step S1057). For example, when 10 (5 rows × 2 columns) thumbnail images 11 to 20 shown in FIG. 4B are displayed on the shelf panel 320, the y coordinate 410 of the display area is set to a threshold (low) 412 or less. If this happens (step S1056), the thumbnail images 1 to 10 arranged in front of the thumbnail images 11 to 20 shown in FIG. It is set so as to be displayed) (shown in a) (step S1057). Subsequently, an animation flag for executing an animation for displaying a thumbnail image arranged in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is turned on (step S1058), and the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process is ended. .

  If there is no cursor dragging any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 (step S1051), it is determined whether the animation flag is ON. (Step S1059). If the animation flag has not been turned on (step S1059), the thumbnail image display switching process ends.

  When the animation flag is turned on (step S1059), the thumbnail image set in step S1055 or step S1057 is reached to the target position which is a position for displaying in the center of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320. A process of moving the thumbnail image by animation is executed (step S1060). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image has reached the target position (step S1061). That is, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail image set in step S1055 or step S1057 is appropriately displayed in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320. If the thumbnail image has not reached the target position by animation (step S1061), the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process is terminated while the animation flag is ON. On the other hand, if the thumbnail image has reached the target position (step S1061), the animation flag is turned off (step S1062), and the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process ends.

  Even when the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process is finished, even when there is no cursor dragging any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 (step S1051). When the animation flag is ON, the processing procedures in steps S1060 and S1061 are executed, and thus an appropriate thumbnail image is displayed in the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320.

  When the upper handle 327 or the lower handle 328 is left dragged in the y direction by the cursor (step S1052), the y coordinate of the thumbnail image display area of the shelf panel 320 is a predetermined threshold (high). When the user stops the left drag operation in a state where the above is not performed (step S1054) and does not fall below the predetermined threshold (low) (step S1056), in step S907 shown in FIG. The upper handle portion 327 and the lower handle portion 328 can be returned to the positions before the drag operation. Further, when there is a cursor that is dragging any one of the right handle portion 326, the upper handle portion 327, and the lower handle portion 328 (step S1051), the upper handle portion 327 or the lower handle portion 328 is moved by the cursor. If the left drag operation is not performed in the y direction (step S1052), the right handle 326 is left dragged in the x direction by the cursor. In this case, the operation of the thumbnail image display switching process is terminated without executing the animation process. As described above, when any of the right handle part 326, the upper handle part 327, and the lower handle part 328 is dragged, the animation process is executed in order to prioritize the process according to the drag operation by the operator. Not. As described above, the thumbnail image display switching process and the thumbnail image display number changing process are not independent of each other and affect each other. Further, for example, the mother cursor 303 and the daughter cursor 304 can participate in the left drag operation of the right handle portion 326 while the father cursor 301 is left dragging the right handle portion 326 to the right in the x direction. Further, for example, when the father cursor 301 performs a left drag operation on the right handle 326 to the right in the x direction to change the display number of thumbnail images, the mother cursor 303 moves to the upper handle 327 or the lower handle. A thumbnail image display switching operation can be performed by dragging the unit 328. Thus, the operation for changing the number of thumbnail images to be displayed and the operation for switching the display of thumbnail images can be performed simultaneously using a plurality of cursors. Thereby, many people can cooperate and perform display operation.

  In this way, the number of thumbnail images displayed can be easily changed by enlarging or reducing the thumbnail area in the left-right direction. In this case, by enlarging or reducing the thumbnail area by animation, it is possible to make the change in enlargement or reduction easy to see. In addition, it is possible to display a thumbnail image added to each column as a set of vertical columns as the thumbnail area is enlarged. On the other hand, the thumbnail images can be displayed so as to be deleted one by one in accordance with the reduction of the thumbnail area. In this way, when the thumbnail area is enlarged or reduced in the left-right direction, it is not necessary to move the display position of the thumbnail image because it is not necessary to move the display position of the thumbnail image. This makes it easier to see the image.

  Furthermore, by switching the display of thumbnail images in vertical columns in the vertical direction, the display of thumbnail images can be connected with seamless animation. Thereby, an operation different from the fine change by scrolling can be performed, and the display can be switched so that it can be easily seen by many people. In particular, when a plurality of information processing apparatuses 100 are operated simultaneously, it is possible to realize an interaction that can easily cope with a change.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, in a living room in a common space, providing a plurality of interaction software suitable for a place where an unspecified number of people called living gather. Can do.

  In addition, by changing the three display areas, the main area for displaying content, the thumbnail area for displaying thumbnail images of content, and the drawer area for storing content, it can be changed according to the demands and presentation style. Thus, the display area can be freely changed to an appropriate layout.

  In addition, by marking the content displayed on the information processing apparatus 100, it is possible to move the marked content to a predetermined content storage area in real time. Can do.

  In addition, when operating the image displayed on the display screen, it is configured based on the action of “pull”, so the screen does not change instantaneously like a button operation, and it is said that the time is being pulled. A preparatory phase is born and it is easy to see what other participants are trying to do. As a result, it is visually easy to determine what is happening as a whole, and a useful user interface can be provided even for simultaneous use by a plurality of persons. Furthermore, by using the “pull” action as a base, it is easy to operate, especially for devices that are not suitable for detailed work, such as television, that are not suitable for detailed work. Can be improved. Thereby, it is possible to provide a user interface having a high affinity, such as a screen transition due to the entire dynamic movement.

  Also, when browsing content by multiple people at the same time, each operator can easily browse the high-profile items at the next browsing by evaluating and tagging each content together with browsing. It becomes possible. In the case where the content is a moving image, it is possible to place an evaluation point on the time axis and perform digest playback only of the scene with the highest degree of attention.

  In addition, when browsing content with multiple people at the same time, participants can be assigned to each category, such as landscape, people, animals, etc., and each participant can perform the assigned classification operations. It is possible to easily perform joint classification work. Thereby, it is possible to speed up the work as compared with the case where tagging is performed alone, and it is possible to carry out a classification work that does not become a pain accompanied with entertainment as well as communication.

  In addition, when browsing content with multiple people at the same time, for example, when browsing photos of trips made by all participants, each participant can drag it into his classification space, Classification work can be performed immediately at the same time as browsing. In this case, operations such as printing of each person's photograph and transmission of image data to a remote place can be easily performed based on the information recorded as the extraction area information of the management information. In addition, by preparing a direct print space for printing or a space for sending a remote party at the remote location as a storage area, printing, remote location sharing, etc. can be performed simultaneously with browsing and classification operations. As described above, by setting the area of the drawer as various classification spaces, classification, sharing, tagging, printing, and the like can be easily organized simultaneously with browsing.

  Further, when all the participants participate in the operation, each operator's direct reaction can be given to each other and received. Thereby, the barrier of a presenter and a participant can be removed and mutual participation consciousness can be raised. Furthermore, since all viewers can perform direct content access, communication on the side of the operating user can be promoted.

  In addition, since the marking operation can be operated by multiple people, it is possible to easily know the objective ranking of each participant in addition to individual preferences, so it functions as a useful sort axis after organizing. can do.

  Thus, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of images are displayed, each of these images can be displayed so as to be easily seen by many people. In addition, when a plurality of images are displayed, each of these images can be easily operated.

  Note that although the information processing apparatus 100 has been described in the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention is applied to an image display apparatus such as a television capable of performing a predetermined operation using an operation member such as a pointing device. Can do. An information processing system capable of displaying the same screen on the display units of a plurality of information processing devices connected via a predetermined network, wherein an image on each display unit is operated from each information processing device. The embodiment of the present invention can be applied to an information processing system capable of doing so. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the case where an image such as a photograph is viewed using the information processing apparatus 100 has been described. However, when displaying a document page such as document data instead of an image, Embodiments of the present invention can be applied.
