In Fig. 4 (A), the symbol 21a that represents with thick frame line is equivalent to the full viewing area of display part 21, so represents the thumbnail pictures of a picture.The zone of only having the zone in the scope shown in this symbol 21a can observe for the user.Namely, the part of the outer part of the thick frame of symbol 21a, thumbnail image that to be the zone shown in the symbol 21e of Fig. 4 (A) arrange according to specific image related information (arrangement information) for the processing by above-mentioned steps S5, but in the moment shown in this Fig. 4 (A), the zone shown in the symbol 21e is not for being shown to the state of display part 21.In addition, being positioned at this regional thumbnail image also can switch to show by display frame from now on.
In addition, the picture number of symbol 21b presentation video data.This picture number is presented at the upper left corner of each thumbnail image.
Symbol 21c represents the viewing area of representative information.Adopt in this example photography date temporal information to be used as aforesaid representative information, so in the character string of the date as expression " 2007/8/8 " of display case in the zone of this symbol 21c.Then as mentioned above, the applicable photography date temporal information corresponding with the thumbnail image of the ad-hoc location that is configured in thumbnail pictures of representative information.That is, in the display case of Fig. 4 (A), the applicable photography date temporal information corresponding with the thumbnail image that is configured in the zone, the upper left corner shown in the symbol 21d is used as representative information.
Therefore, the thumbnail image that shows in the zone of the symbol 21d of Fig. 4 (A) is corresponding with the view data of picture number 1, and the date of the photography date temporal information corresponding with this view data is " 2007/8/8 " as shown in table 1.
Thus, in the thumbnail pictures shown in Fig. 4 (A), ad-hoc location that should be on this picture, be the substantial middle part show photography date temporal information " 2007/8/8 " as representative information by the zone shown in the symbol 21c.In addition, in the display case of this Fig. 4 (A), under the state of the thumbnail pictures that shows the form of arranging thumbnail image 1~9 with 3 row, 3 row, stop.
Return Fig. 2, when the thumbnail pictures that makes in the processing (thumbnail pictures with representative information makes processing) at above-mentioned steps S8 is shown on the display part 21 in the processing of step S9 (demonstration of Fig. 4 (A)), CPU10 monitors the index signal that is produced by operating portion 22 in next step S10, be confirmed whether to detect demonstration and switch index signal.This confirms as the affirmation of the rolling indication of the thumbnail pictures in whether having carried out showing.
It is namely to go up some index signals that produces of key (UP key) or lower key (DN key) by the up and down action button in operational example such as the functional unit that index signal is switched in above-mentioned demonstration.
That is, in this digital camera 1, can carry out the lower direction of the thumbnail pictures in show or the indication that upper direction is rolled by operation UP key or DN key.
Here, detection display switches index signal, when having confirmed the making operation of UP key or DN key, and the processing that enters step S11.In addition, when not detecting demonstration switching index signal (connection signal of UP key or DN key), the processing that enters step S16.
In step S11, CPU10 confirms the signature power of pressing of in the processing of above-mentioned steps S10 detected UP key or DN key.
In the case, when the signature power of pressing of having confirmed detected UP key or DN key is large, the processing that enters step S12.In addition, when the signature power of pressing of having confirmed detected UP key or DN key little and hour, the processing that enters step S13.
Here, being applicable to the switch that the UP key of this digital camera and DN key all press the formula of signature by two stages forms.Follow in this, CPU10 can detect distinctively respectively to be pressed by the phase I of UP key or DN key by operating portion 22 and give as security first signal L that operation (press signature power little) produces and operating portion 22 and press to give as security by second stage and operate the secondary signal H that (pressing signature power large) produces.
And this first signal L and secondary signal H are the index signal of the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures.That is, the user presses by the phase I of separately using UP key and DN key and gives as security operation and second stage and press to give as security and operate the rolling speed of changeable execution thumbnail pictures.
Specifically, CPU10 is when detecting first signal L, and control display control part 17 makes the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures roll with First Speed (low velocity).On the other hand, CPU10 is when detecting secondary signal H, and control display control part 17 makes the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures roll with second speed (at a high speed).
Here, Fig. 7 is the figure that expression and the demonstration of Fig. 4 (A)~Fig. 4 (D) change the output state of corresponding first signal L and secondary signal H.
As mentioned above, rolling speed is low velocity during output first signal L, and rolling speed is high-speed during output secondary signal H.In Fig. 7, corresponding with picture number 1~4 and picture number 10~13 between the period of output of first signal L, corresponding with picture number 4~10 between the period of output of secondary signal H.This situation represents situation shown below.
That is, thumbnail pictures is in halted state under the state shown in Fig. 4 (A).At this moment, the thumbnail image of picture number 1 is configured to the upper left corner of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21.
In the state of this Fig. 4 (A), press and give as security operation when exporting first signal L when the user utilizes operating portion 22 for example to carry out the phase I of DN key, CPU10 accepts this signal, and 17 beginnings of control display control part are processed with the action of First Speed (low velocity) rolling thumbnail pictures.Thus, the demonstration of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 is to the state transitions of Fig. 4 (B).The phase I of during this period, also continuing the DN key by the user presses and gives as security operation.
In addition, the state midway during state representation thumbnail pictures shown in this Fig. 4 (B) is rolled, continue press of DN key give as security operation during, thumbnail pictures continues rolling.That is, for convenience of explanation, only the state of Fig. 4 (B) is removed in expression, in fact is not to be illustrated in the situation of rolling and stopping under the state of Fig. 4 (B).
State shown in this Fig. 4 (B) is the state of the position, the upper left corner of the thumbnail image of picture number 4 thumbnail pictures that is about to be configured to display part 21.Therefore, representative information as this moment, " 2007/8/8 " (with reference to table 1) continued fixing demonstration the in the zone of symbol 21c, should " 2007/8/8 " be the identical photography date temporal information of the information that shows with state with Fig. 4 (A) (the photography date temporal information corresponding with picture number 1), and be the photography date temporal information corresponding with picture number 4.
Like this, when being in the state of Fig. 4 (A), carry out pressing of DN key by the user and give as security operation, the rolling of beginning thumbnail pictures, and proceed pressing of this DN key give as security operation during proceed the rolling of thumbnail pictures.
Then, through the moment after the state of Fig. 4 (B), carried out the pressing of the 2nd stage of DN key by the user and give as security operation.So, as shown in Figure 7, switch from first signal L to secondary signal H from the index signal of operating portion 22.CPU10 accepts this signal, and control display control part 17 makes the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures switch from First Speed (low velocity) to second speed (at a high speed).Thereby the rolling speed of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 is at a high speed.Then, the state transitions of the demonstration of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 from the show state of Fig. 4 (B) to Fig. 4 (C).The pressing of the second stage of the DN key that is undertaken by the user during this period, given as security operation and also still proceeded.
State shown in this Fig. 4 (C) is the state of the position, the upper left corner of the thumbnail image of picture number 10 thumbnail pictures that is about to move to display part 21.Representative information as this moment, also will continue fixing demonstration the in the zone of symbol 21c " 2007/8/8 " (with reference to table 1), should " 2007/8/8 " be the photography date temporal information identical with the information that under the state of Fig. 4 (A), Fig. 4 (B), shows (with picture number 1,4 corresponding photography date temporal informations), and be the photography date temporal information corresponding with picture number 10.
Then, continue pressing of DN key by the user and give as security operation, also proceed so roll.That is, state shown in Fig. 4 (C) is also same with Fig. 4 (B), the state midway in the rolling of expression thumbnail pictures.
Through the moment behind the state of this Fig. 4 (C), weaken the pressing operation of DN key by the user, carry out giving as security the handover operation that operates from the second stage of this DN key to pressing of phase I.So, as shown in Figure 7, switch from secondary signal H to first signal L from the index signal of operating portion 22.CPU10 accepts this signal, and control display control part 17 makes the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures switch from second speed (at a high speed) to First Speed (low velocity).Thereby the rolling speed of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 becomes low velocity.Then, the state transitions of the demonstration of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 from the show state of Fig. 4 (C) to Fig. 4 (D).Also proceeding the signature of pressing of the phase I of DN key by the user during this period operates.
State shown in this Fig. 4 (D) is the state of the position, the upper left corner of the thumbnail image of picture number 13 thumbnail pictures that is configured to display part 21.Meanwhile, the thumbnail image that becomes picture number 21 is configured to the state of certain the most descending position of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21.The photography date temporal information of the view data of this picture number 21 is " 2007/8/20 " shown in the table 1.That is, after the view data of this picture number 21 and before, produced variation in photography in the date temporal information.For this reason, in the demonstration of Fig. 4 (D), mark identification mark for the demonstration that comes presentation video numbering 21 with symbol 21e and show.As the example of this identification mark, in Fig. 4 (D), adopted the circle numeral that obtains by the numeral of living the presentation video numbering with zero circle.
Like this, in the rolling of thumbnail pictures, when changing in the specific image related information (in this display case, being photography date temporal information) of the thumbnail image that the thumbnail pictures in demonstration comprises, display control unit 17 carries out following control, namely, even the indication that the user proceeds to roll operation (giving as security operation for press of DN key in the illustration of explanation here), (detailed content is narrated in the back also temporarily to stop the continuation rolling of thumbnail pictures.Processing with reference to the step S13 of Fig. 2).
That is, the state that temporarily stops of the rolling of the state representation thumbnail pictures shown in Fig. 4 (D).
Return Fig. 2, when affirmation in above-mentioned steps S11 enters the processing of step S12 by signature power large (secondary signal H), in this step S12, display control unit 17 comes control display drive division 20 by the control of CPU10, with the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures with show the short time that is set as regulation switching time, then, enter the processing of step S13.
On the other hand, when affirmation enters the processing of step S13 by signature power little (first signal L) in above-mentioned steps S11, in this step S13, display control unit 17 by the control of CPU10 confirm at the thumbnail image that the thumbnail pictures that display part 21 shows comprises specific image related information, be arrangement information (in this illustration, being photography date temporal information) whether have from show in the different information of representative information.
That is, confirm in the rolling of thumbnail pictures, at the specific image related information (arrangement information of a plurality of thumbnail images that consist of the thumbnail pictures in showing; Photography date temporal information) whether changes in.Here, the variation of specific image related information is detected by the 10a of thumbnail management department of CPU10.
In addition in other words, display control unit 17 carries out following control (from the control between the demonstration that is shown to Fig. 4 (D) of above-mentioned Fig. 4 (A)), that is, switch continuously in the continuous situation within the specific limits at the specific image related information (arrangement information) of the thumbnail image that is shown to thumbnail pictures and show thumbnail pictures.On the other hand, this display control unit 17 exists in the situation of the variation more than the certain limit in specific image related information (arrangement information), is controlled to be the demonstration that temporarily stops thumbnail pictures and switches.Namely, shown in Fig. 4 (D), in day vicissitudinous situation of photographing in the rolling in thumbnail pictures, display control unit 17 is controlled, even if also temporarily stop to continue rolling so that the user continues to send the index signal (operation is given as security in pressing of DN key) of rolling.As observing the scope that changes, be not limited to " day ", certainly also can be set as " moon " or " time ".
Specifically, as mentioned above, continue to roll from the state of Fig. 4 (C), when finally becoming the state shown in Fig. 4 (D), namely, when in the indication range of display part 21, showing the picture number 21 with photography date temporal information different from so far photography date temporal information, be judged as this specific image related information (arrangement information; Photography date temporal information) changes with respect to the representative information in showing.
In the processing of this step S13, when having confirmed in this information, to change (having different information) by the 10a of thumbnail management department, the processing that enters step S16.On the other hand, when having confirmed by the 10a of thumbnail management department not have in this information to change (not having different information), the processing that enters step S14.
In step S14, the timer (not shown) that CPU10 has self inside moves to be counted the elapsed time, if official hour finishes the processing that then enters next step S15.
In step S15, CPU10 monitors the index signal from operating portion 22, has been confirmed whether to produce the signal of indication release.Here, when having confirmed to finish indication, finish a series of processing (end).In addition, when not confirming to finish indication, return the processing of above-mentioned steps S8 and repeatedly carry out later processing.
On the other hand, when in the processing of above-mentioned steps S10, not detecting when show switching index signal (connection signal of DN key) and in the processing of above-mentioned steps S13, having confirmed that representative information changes, the processing that all enters step S16.
Then, in this step S16, CPU10 control display control part 17 makes it carry out the processing of the rolling that temporarily stops executory thumbnail pictures.Thus, the show state of display part 21 becomes the temporary transient halted state shown in Fig. 4 (D).Then, enter the processing of step S17.
In step S17, CPU10 monitors the index signal from operating portion 22, is confirmed whether to detect demonstration and switches index signal.This confirms as the affirmation that has or not index signal, and this index signal is proceeded the rolling of the thumbnail pictures in temporarily stopping.
Namely, in the processing of above-mentioned steps S16, when being in the state of the rolling that temporarily stops thumbnail pictures, as the operation that is used for removing this temporary transient halted state, the user at first temporarily removes in the operation pressing of DN key is given as security operation, after producing cut-off signal, carry out at once the pressing operation of this DN key, the operation that again produces the connection signal of rolling.
Like this, the cut-off signal of DN key and connection signal occur in turn.CPU10 accepts this a series of index signal and control display control part 17, carries out the releasing of the temporary transient halted state of rolling and the resume operations of this scroll actions.
In addition, the functional unit of operation can be the UP key here, but for the purpose of simplifying the description, the effect when only narration operates the DN key in the following description.When operation UP key, because only be that rotating direction is different, so its effect is identical with the situation of operation DN key.The rotating direction of the thumbnail pictures when in addition, the arrow S shown in Fig. 4 (A)~Fig. 4 (D) etc. represents to operate the DN key.
Therefore, in the processing of this step S17, CPU10 when having confirmed this signal, enters the processing of step S15 confirming to show the before standby of switching index signal (cut-off signal of DN key and connection signal).Below carry out same processing.
Here, below, adopt Fig. 5 (A)~Fig. 5 (C) to when being in the temporary transient halted state of Fig. 4 (D), the effect the when user has proceeded the opening operation (press escort except) of DN key and making operation (again press signature operates) describes.
Fig. 5 is the display case of the action after being illustrated in the variation that arrangement information is arranged in the scroll actions and having removed temporary transient halted state.Wherein, the figure of the Yi Dong Gui Trace in the picture of the thumbnail image of Fig. 5 (A) when to be expression from the temporary transient halted state of Fig. 4 (D) accept the index signal of regulation.The display case of Fig. 5 (B) state midway that to be the expression thumbnail image move along the Yi Dong Gui Trace of Fig. 5 (A).Fig. 5 (C) is the display case of the state that again temporarily stops of thumbnail image that the Yi Dong Gui Trace along Fig. 5 (A) moves.
As mentioned above, in the thumbnail pictures that operates in the continuation based on the DN key was rolled, when the arrangement information of the thumbnail image in the thumbnail pictures changed, scroll actions was temporary transient halted state, and the demonstration of display part 21 becomes the state shown in Fig. 4 (D).At this moment, the user carries out the aforesaid operations for the temporary transient halted state of removing scroll actions.That is, aforesaid operations is a succession of operation that signature operates of press of carrying out at once (DN keyed jointing messenger) DN key after press of (DN key cut-off signal) DN key in continuing given as security operation removing.
The index signal that CPU10 accepts to be produced by such operation, be cut-off signal and the connection signal of DN key, control display control part 17 comes the action shown in execution graph 5 (A)~Fig. 5 (C).
In addition, after the above-mentioned index signal of accepting aforesaid operations is removed the state of Fig. 4 (D) (temporary transient halted state), from the moment of the show state that becomes Fig. 5 (A) via the state of Fig. 5 (B) during the state of Fig. 5 (C), the user proceeds the pressing operation of DN key.
At first, display control unit 17 is accepted the above-mentioned index signal that temporarily stops to remove, under the control of CPU10, the arrangement information (photography date temporal information) " 2007/8/20 " of vicissitudinous thumbnail image is used as representative information, and shown in Fig. 5 (A), it is shown among the regional 21c of the ad-hoc location on display part 21 pictures.In the demonstration of this representative information, the state from the state variation of Fig. 5 (A) to Fig. 5 (C) not, and be fixed demonstration.
Then, make initial thumbnail image that photography date temporal information changes, be that the thumbnail image of the picture number 21 shown in Fig. 5 (A) moves along the Yi Dong Gui Trace G shown in Fig. 5 (A), Fig. 5 (B), be configured in the position shown in Fig. 5 (C), be the assigned position in the display frame upper left corner of display part 21.Follow in this, picture number 21 later images also move according to the mode that is configured that puts in order with regulation.Thereby, at the thumbnail image of position, the picture upper left corner demonstration picture number 21 corresponding with the representative information that changes.
In this display case, as shown in table 1, photography date temporal information changes in the view data of picture number 26 again.Namely, in the state that has shown the thumbnail pictures shown in Fig. 5 (C), have from show in the thumbnail image of view data (picture number 26) of the different photography date temporal information " 2007/8/31 " of representative information " 2007/8/20 " be included in the thumbnail pictures in the demonstration.For this reason, in the demonstration of Fig. 5 (C), mark identification mark, so that utilize the symbol 21e later demonstration of the different picture number of date temporal information 26 that represents to photograph.As the example of this identification mark, same with Fig. 4 (D) in Fig. 5 (C), adopted the circle numeral that obtains by the numeral of living the presentation video numbering with zero circle.Show that this identification mark is optional, but should show to have and know that easily which effect the thumbnail image corresponding with representative information be not.
Therefore, when the demonstration that becomes shown in Fig. 5 (C), owing to the different thumbnail image of photography date temporal information occurring, the arrangement information of thumbnail image changes, so the display frame of display part 21 becomes again temporary transient halted state.This state is the demonstration shown in Fig. 5 (C).
In order to remove this state, with above-mentioned same, a succession of operation of carry out the predetermined operation of DN key, namely pressing the releasing (cut-off signal) of giving as security operation and again pressing signature operation (connection signal).Then, the action shown in execution graph 6 (A), Fig. 6 (B).
Fig. 6 is the display case that the action after scroll actions temporarily stops again having been removed in expression.Wherein, the figure of the Yi Dong Gui Trace in the thumbnail image picture of Fig. 6 (A) when to be expression from the temporary transient halted state of Fig. 5 (C) accept again the index signal of regulation.Fig. 6 (B) is after to be thumbnail image along the Yi Dong Gui Trace of Fig. 6 (A) move, the display case when thumbnail image temporarily stops again.
As mentioned above, in the temporary transient halted state shown in Fig. 5 (C), when the user moved the releasing operation that temporarily stops index signal, CPU10 accepted this signal, control display control part 17, the action shown in execution graph 6 (A), Fig. 6 (B).In addition, in the case, after accepting above-mentioned index signal and removing the state of Fig. 5 (C) (temporary transient halted state), from the state that becomes Fig. 6 (A) the time be carved into the state that becomes Fig. 6 (B) during, the user proceeds pressing of DN key and gives as security operation.
At first, display control unit 17 is accepted the above-mentioned index signal that temporarily stops, under the control of CPU10, representative information in replacing showing, the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/31 " of vicissitudinous thumbnail image is used as representative information, shown in Fig. 6 (A), it is shown to ad-hoc location 21c on display part 21 pictures.As the demonstration of this representative information, the state from the state variation of Fig. 6 (A) to Fig. 6 (B) not, and be fixed demonstration.
Then, make initial thumbnail image that photography date temporal information changes, be that the thumbnail image of the picture number 26 shown in Fig. 6 (A) moves along the Yi Dong Gui Trace G shown in this Fig. 6 (A), shown in Fig. 6 (B), it is configured on the assigned position in the display frame upper left corner of display part 21.Follow in this, picture number 26 later images also move according to the mode that is configured to put in order.Thereby, at the thumbnail image of position, the picture upper left corner demonstration picture number 26 corresponding with the representative information that changes.
Also as shown in table 1 under the state of this Fig. 6 (B), photography date temporal information changes in the view data of picture number 28 again.Namely, in the state that shows the thumbnail pictures shown in Fig. 6 (B), the thumbnail image (picture number 28) with view data of the photography date temporal information " 2007/9/25 " different from the representative information " 2007/8/31 " in the demonstration is included in the thumbnail pictures in the demonstration.Therefore, when becoming the demonstration of Fig. 6 (B), display frame becomes again temporary transient halted state.
For the purpose of simplifying the description, the demonstration of Fig. 6 (B) also marks identification mark, so that utilize the symbol 21e later demonstration of the different picture number of date temporal information 28 that represents to photograph.As the example of this identification mark, same with Fig. 4 (D), Fig. 5 (C) in Fig. 6 (B), adopted the circle numeral that obtains by with zero numeral of enclosing the presentation video numbering.
Its later effect, namely in the temporary transient halted state of removing scroll actions and the effect when making the effect of rolling when restarting and having shown also the have different arrangement informations thumbnail image of view data of (photography date temporal information), following be same.
Then, below the processing sequence of the frame regeneration mode in this digital camera 1 described.
As mentioned above, in the step S6 of Fig. 2 flow chart, when the set condition of having confirmed current regeneration mode is not thumbnail regeneration mode and when entering the processing of step S7, in this step S7, the processing sequence of the frame regeneration mode that CPU10 puts rules into practice.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart that at length represents the processing sequence of the frame regeneration mode in this digital camera.
At first, in step S21, CPU10 control display control part 17 is carried out the processing that makes with the picture of representative information.Then, enter the processing of step S22.
In step S22, CPU10 carries out the processing in the display frame that the image that will make is shown to display part 21 in the processing of above-mentioned steps S21.Then, enter the processing of step S23.
The processing of this step S21~step S22 is following processing.
That is, CPU10 is control display control part 17 at first, and the image related information with reference to a plurality of view data that record in recording medium 18a reads into RAM16 with the view data that for example has initial photography date temporal information.In image processing part 15, the view data of having read carried out decompression or to conversion process of display format etc.Display control unit 17 is superimposed upon on the specific fixed area that shows in the image range photography date temporal information corresponding with the view data of having processed, and makes the picture (processing of step S21) with representative image.
The picture signal of the demonstration usefulness that makes is like this exported to display part 21 via display driver section 20.Display part 21 is accepted this signal, adopts the whole zone of this display frame to show image based on the picture signal of inputting.That is the image that, in display part 21, shows a frame.At this moment, for the image in showing, the ad-hoc location in picture is fixing show in the corresponding specific image related information, the date temporal information (processing of step S22) of photographing for example.
Fig. 8 is the display case that is shown to the two field picture demonstration of display part in this digital camera, the figure of the effect when being the rolling when expression one two field picture shows.
In this Fig. 8, the picture that is represented by symbol 21A is the picture that is shown to the display part 21 after a frame regeneration mode has just begun.In the case, approximate full viewing area 21d with display part 21 shows image, show respectively on assigned position 21b, the 21c in this display frame with show in picture number " 1 " corresponding to image and with the related image related information of the image in the demonstration in photography date temporal information " 2007/8/8 ".
Return Fig. 3, in step S23, CPU10 monitors the index signal that produces from operating portion 22, is confirmed whether to detect demonstration and switches index signal (for example connection signal of UP key or DN key).The affirmation of indication is switched in this demonstration of confirming as the image in whether having carried out showing.
Here, show to switch index signal detecting, confirm as when UP key or DN key carried out making operation the processing that enters step S24.In addition, when not detecting demonstration switching index signal (connection signal of UP key or DN key), the processing that enters step S29.
In step S24, CPU10 confirms the signature power of pressing of in the processing of above-mentioned steps S23 detected UP key or DN key.
In the case, when the signature power of pressing of confirming as detected UP key or DN key large (secondary signal H), the processing that enters step S25.In addition, when confirming as the signature power of pressing little and little (first signal L) of detected UP key or DN key, the processing that enters step S26.
When in above-mentioned steps S24, confirming as when entering the processing of step S25 by signature power large (secondary signal H), in this step S25, display control unit 17 is by the control of CPU10, control display drive division 20, set the rolling speed of thumbnail pictures for and show and be the short time of regulation switching time, then, enter the processing of step S26.
In step S26, display control unit 17 is by the control of CPU10, confirms whether its representative information last image within the specific limits of image that current time shows in display part 21.
That is, confirm in the continuous demonstration of two field picture regeneration, whether the specific image related information of the image in the demonstration (photography date temporal information) changes in the image that then shows.
In other words, display control unit 17 is during demonstration switching signal (connection signal of the DN key) continuation of being pressed signature operation generation by user's DN key, when the specific image related information of image is identical within the specific limits, switch continuously the control that shows image, when specific image related information has variation more than the certain limit, be controlled to be the demonstration that temporarily stops image and switch.For this reason, the 10a of thumbnail management department of CPU10 monitors each image related information (being photography date temporal information here) of the image that shows after should the image in current demonstration, detects image in the current demonstration and whether be the representative information last image within the specific limits in the demonstration.That is, detection is in the image that then shows, whether photography date temporal information (being day here) changes.
Specifically, when beginning demonstration via this schematic symbol 21B and arrive the show state of this schematic symbol 21C from the demonstration of the symbol 21A of Fig. 8, the 10a of thumbnail management department detects the situation that photography date temporal information changes in next frame.At this moment, CPU10 control display control part 17 even if show switching index signal (pressing the connection signal of giving as security operation based on the DN key) so that the user continues to send, also can temporarily stop to proceed the continuous switching demonstration of image.This is that large is the cause of clue mainly with the large changing unit under the photography conditions because seeking from continuous image in the situation of specific image.
In the step S26 of Fig. 3, CPU10 is at the image related information with reference to the view data that records in recording medium 18a, confirm as the specific image related information corresponding with image in the current demonstration (photography date temporal information) and be with show in the last image of group corresponding to representative information the time, the processing that enters step S29.On the other hand, when the specific image related information of confirming as the image that is not last image but then shows is identical with representative information, the processing that enters step S27.
In step S27, the timer (not shown) that CPU10 has self inside moves and the elapsed time is counted, if official hour (for example 0.5 second) finishes, and the processing that then enters next step S28.
In step S28, CPU10 monitors the signal that has been confirmed whether to produce the indication release from the index signal of operating portion 22.Here, when confirming as the end indication, finish a series of processing (end).In addition, when finishing indication, return the processing of above-mentioned steps S21 unconfirmed.In order to show next image, repeatedly carry out afterwards same processing.
On the other hand, when in the processing of above-mentioned steps S23, not detecting when show switching index signal (connection signal of UP key or DN key) and confirmed that in the processing of above-mentioned steps S26 representative information is last image in the certain limit, the processing that all enters step S29.
In this step S29, CPU10 control display control part 17 is carried out the processing of the continuous switching demonstration that temporarily stops executory image.Thus, the temporary transient halted state of the show state of display part 21 for being represented by the symbol 21C of Fig. 8.Then, enter the processing of step S30.
In step S30, CPU10 monitors the index signal from operating portion 22, is confirmed whether to detect demonstration and switches index signal.This confirms as the affirmation that has or not index signal, and this index signal makes the image in temporarily stopping to switch continuously the demonstration continuation and carries out.
That is, when state that the continuous switching that temporarily stops image in the processing that is in above-mentioned steps S29 shows, undertaken for the operation of removing this temporary transient halted state by the user.Following processing is carried out in this operation: identical during with the rolling of above-mentioned thumbnail regeneration mode, the DN key in removing operation is pressed and is given as security operation and after having produced cut-off signal, give as security operation by pressing of this DN key at once the connection signal that shows occurs again to switch continuously.
Like this, cut-off signal and the connection signal of DN key occurs in turn, CPU10 accepts this a series of index signal and control display control part 17, the releasing of the temporary transient halted state that the continuous switching of carries out image shows and the operation that restarts of this display action.
In addition, can be the UP key at the functional unit of this operation, this situation with the rolling of above-mentioned thumbnail regeneration mode is identical.
In addition, the rotating direction of the display frame of the situation that the regeneration of one frame is processed is generally the above-below direction consistent with the direction of operating of UP key and DN key, but in the situation that a frame is regenerated, be not limited to the rolling of this above-below direction, for example can also scroll up at right and left.At this moment, consistent with the rotating direction of display frame, as adopting up and down left button and the right button of the index signal that left and right directions occurs respectively of action button for the functional unit that moves indication.
In the processing of step S30, CPU10 when having confirmed this signal, enters the processing of step S28 confirming to show the before standby of switching index signal (cut-off signal of DN key and connection signal).Below, carry out same processing.
Here, when the temporary transient halted state of the symbol 21C that is in Fig. 8, the effect the when user proceeds the opening operation (press escort except) of DN key and making operation (again press signature operates) is as described below.That is, when the temporary transient halted state that becomes shown in the symbol 21C of Fig. 8, the user carries out as described above for removing this temporary transient halted state and restarting the operation of the continuous switching display action of image.
Here, after the DN key in user's releasing (DN key cut-off signal) continuation was pressed and given as security operation, the signature of pressing of carrying out at once (DN keyed jointing messenger) DN key operated.
CPU10 accepts by the index signal of this operation generation, is cut-off signal and the connection signal of DN key, control display control part 17, the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/20 " of vicissitudinous image is used as representative information, shown in the display case of the symbol 21D of Fig. 8, it is shown to the viewing area 21c of the representative information that is arranged in the ad-hoc location on display part 21 pictures.Meanwhile, also switch in the image that shows in the display part 21.The image that in the demonstration of the symbol 21D of Fig. 8, shows picture number 21.
From this state, the user proceed the DN key press give as security operation during, the continuous switching of further carrying out image shows.Then, this is proceeded before switching continuously the demonstration that is presented at the frame that becomes before representative information changes, is namely represented by the symbol 21F of Fig. 8, temporarily stops when becoming the demonstration of this symbol 21D.This be because at next frame, be in the image of picture number 26, the cause that changes has occured in representative information.A succession of effect of the continuous switching display action of image after this, following be identical.
As described above, by an above-mentioned execution mode, when switching in turn the thumbnail pictures that shows by obtaining with the thumbnail image arranged sequentially based on specific image related information according to the Picture switch operational order, at the image related information of thumbnail pictures stack as representative, and fixedly be shown to the ad-hoc location of display frame, this representative information is the specific image related information that utilizes in the arrangement of thumbnail image, and this specific image related information is corresponding with a certain thumbnail image in a plurality of thumbnail images that show in thumbnail pictures.Thus, and show that respectively the such existing method of image related information is different one to one from each thumbnail image that consists of thumbnail pictures, can consist of to be easy to retrieve the display frame of wishing image, and can not hinder the demonstration of each thumbnail image.
In addition, carried out following control: when the specific image related information of the thumbnail image that in thumbnail pictures, shows consecutive hours within the specific limits, switch continuously and show thumbnail pictures, when specific image related information has variation more than the certain limit, automatically stop the switching of thumbnail pictures, so can show continuously with the image as unit of pool with continuous same image related information, but thus efficient image retrieval.
Thumbnail pictures is rolled switch continuously when showing, will be configured in picture on specific image related information corresponding to the thumbnail image of ad-hoc location fixedly be shown to ad-hoc location on the picture as representative information, so can easily carry out the retrieval based on the image related information.
In addition, be not limited only to common photography date temporal information about the specific image related information that shows as representative information, can also adopt camera positions information, photograph album information, subject information etc. to be used in the arrangement information when making thumbnail pictures, so needn't prepare especially the kind of the display mode in the regeneration mode, only with reference to the specific image related information that accompany view data, just can consist of the arrangement based on the thumbnail image of various viewpoints, can easily carry out efficient image retrieval thus.
In addition, about the in the above-described embodiment processing that utilizes CPU10 of explanation, can utilize hardware to consist of its part or all.
Then, CPU10 is supplied with the software program of in ROM28, storing, and carry out above-mentioned action according to the program of supplying with, realize that thus the control of CPU10 is processed.Thereby above-mentioned software program itself is realized the function of CPU10, and its program itself consists of the present invention.
In addition, the recording medium of storing this program also consists of the present invention.Except flash memory, can also adopt the semiconductor memories such as the Magnetooptic recording mediums such as the optical record mediums such as CD-ROM, DVD, MD, tape-shaped medium's, IC-card etc. as this recording medium.In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is illustrated as the example that is applicable to single antimode digital camera, but is not limited to this, can also be applicable to for example be installed in the camera section on pocket digital camera or the mobile phone.
In an above-mentioned execution mode, enumerate the example of applicable situation of the present invention to having been described in detail as the digital camera with display control unit of image display function, but be not limited only to this as display control unit of the present invention, can also equally the present invention be applicable to the various devices such as the image display device of following formation or image processing apparatus: have the recording medium of for example storing a plurality of view data that obtain and record by digital camera, carry out image according to the view data that in this recording medium, records and show, perhaps carrying out various data processes.
But, about when the regeneration mode of the digital camera of an above-mentioned execution mode on, action when thumbnail pictures is rolled and the Displaying timer of representative information etc., be not limited to above-mentioned example, can consider various effects.
For example, Fig. 9 is on thumbnail pictures when being illustrated in the regeneration mode of digital camera of an above-mentioned execution mode other display cases when rolling.In the display case of Fig. 5, the change action of the thumbnail pictures that restarts is that the image after the thumbnail image 21 is arranged the action of repeatedly carrying out in turn according to it.In this example, do not carry out in turn action repeatedly, and thumbnail pictures is rolled.
A state in Fig. 9 (A) expression scroll actions.Fig. 9 (B) is illustrated under the state of Fig. 9 (A), and representative information changes and the state that temporarily stops.Fig. 9 (C) is illustrated under the state of Fig. 9 (B), and the rear representative information that restarts to roll changes and the state that temporarily stops again.Fig. 9 (D) is illustrated in a state after restarting to roll under the state of Fig. 9 (C).
In addition, each image related information of the view data that records of recording medium 18a and the content shown in the same appropriate table 1 of an above-mentioned execution mode.
The user DN key is proceeded to press give as security operation, when thumbnail pictures is rolled, the state shown in Fig. 9 (A) of a state in moving as it be in the position configuration in the upper left corner of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 state of thumbnail image of picture number 13.At this moment, be the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/8 " corresponding with picture number 13 as the photography date temporal information of the shown representative information of viewing area 21c.
At this moment, the thumbnail image of picture number 21 is configured in the most descending right corner position of thumbnail pictures of display part 21.The photography date temporal information of the view data of this picture number 21 is " 2007/8/20 " shown in the table 1, and after the view data of this picture number 21, photography date temporal information changes.For this reason, in the demonstration of Fig. 9 (A), the identification mark that mark is represented by symbol 21e in the demonstration of picture number 21 (circle numeral).Then, when being in this state, the rolling of thumbnail pictures temporarily stops.
Here, when the user proceeds the opening operation of DN key and making operation, remove temporary transient halted state and restart and roll.
That is, in this display case, need not upset the arrangement of the thumbnail image on the thumbnail pictures under Fig. 9 (A) state, each thumbnail image upward direction in the situation of the current arrangement of maintenance is rolled, to the state transitions of Fig. 9 (B).
Then, shown in Fig. 9 (B), picture number 21 is configured to the most up right corner position of display part 21.At this moment, the thumbnail image that shows the picture number 26 with photography date temporal information different from this picture number 21 is included in the identical thumbnail pictures.Thereby, under the state of Fig. 9 (B), temporarily stop again the rolling of thumbnail pictures.
But, under the state of Fig. 9 (B), the thumbnail image of the position, the upper left corner in the display frame of display part 21 is picture number 19, and the photography date temporal information of this picture number 19 is " 2007/8/8 ", so the demonstration of viewing area 21c does not change.
On the other hand, under the state shown in this Fig. 9 (B), marked the identification mark of symbol 21e during the picture number after picture number 21 shows as mentioned above, so the user can be identified in the situation of the thumbnail pictures representing information change in the demonstration.
In the temporary transient halted state of Fig. 9 (B), also proceed opening operation and the making operation of DN key by the user, remove temporary transient halted state and restart and roll.
Then, when transferring to the state of Fig. 9 (C), the thumbnail image that is configured to the position, the upper left corner of display part 21 is picture number 22.The photography date temporal information of this picture number 22 is " 2007/8/20 ", thus it is used as representative information, and be shown to viewing area 21c.Meanwhile, remove thumbnail image in the view data with the identical photography date temporal information of the representative information shown with viewing area 21c (photography date temporal information), be the identification mark 21e that picture number 21~25 (with reference to table 1) marks.
Then, under the state of Fig. 9 (C), the thumbnail image (after the picture number 26) with view data of the photography date temporal information different from the representative information " 2007/8/20 " (the photography date temporal information of picture number 22) of viewing area 21c demonstration is comprised in the thumbnail pictures of display part 21.
Therefore, under the state of this Fig. 9 (C), also temporarily stop again to roll, and picture number 26~30 is kept the demonstration of identification mark symbol 21e.
Under the temporary transient halted state of this Fig. 9 (C), also proceed the opening operation of DN key and making operation with after removing temporary transient halted state and restarting to roll the user, shown in Fig. 9 (D), when the thumbnail image of the picture number 28 that has the photography date temporal information different from the shown representative of viewing area 21c numbering in the picture upper left corner of display part 21 position configuration, the demonstration of viewing area 21c becomes photography date temporal information " 2007/9/25 ".Effect afterwards is identical.
Like this, in other display cases by Fig. 9 (A)~Fig. 9 (D) expression, the form of the thumbnail image of arranging according to specific image related information need not be upset, just the rolling of thumbnail pictures can be carried out.
The figure of other display cases of the Displaying timer of the representative information during the thumbnail pictures when then, Figure 10 is expression about the regeneration mode of the digital camera of an above-mentioned execution mode is rolled.Figure 10 (A) is illustrated in the state that detects the representative information variation in the thumbnail pictures rolling and temporarily stop.Figure 10 (B) expression is changed the state that each shows according to the representative information that changes under the state of Figure 10 (A).
In addition, the effect that utilizes Figure 10 (A), Figure 10 (B) to illustrate represents the example of the situation after the Displaying timer of the active representative information that will be illustrated by above-mentioned Fig. 9 (B), Fig. 9 (C) and display packing change.Therefore, abide by the display case of above-mentioned Fig. 9 about other effect.
State shown in Figure 10 (A) is identical with the state of above-mentioned Fig. 9 (B).Namely, do not upset the arrangement of the thumbnail image that makes at first and roll, picture number 21 is configured to the position, the upper right corner of display part 21, the thumbnail image that has simultaneously the picture number 26 of the photography date temporal information different from this picture number 21 is included in the identical thumbnail pictures and shows, thus, become the state that the rolling of thumbnail pictures temporarily stops.
At this moment, at the thumbnail image of the upper left corner of the thumbnail pictures of display part 21 configuration image numbering 19, the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/8 " of this picture number 19 is shown to viewing area 21c as representative information.Then, at picture number 21~27 mark identification mark symbol 21e.
Each photography date temporal information that is shown to the thumbnail image that the thumbnail pictures in the display part 21 comprises under this state is in fact as shown in table 1,
Picture number 19~20 is " 2007/8/8 ",
Picture number 21~25 is " 2007/8/20 ",
Picture number 26~27 is " 2007/8/31 ".
At this moment, to the picture number of thumbnail image mark identification mark 21e, this thumbnail image is based on that following view data obtains: have as representative information and be presented at view data beyond the image of the photography date temporal information on the 21c of viewing area.
Therefore, when temporarily stopping the rolling of thumbnail pictures under the state of Figure 10 (A), the user removes the opening operation that the DN key is pressed the state of signature in order to remove temporary transient halted state, then, again gives as security operation by pressing of DN key and carries out making operation.At this moment, the DN key presses that to give as security operation only be the pressing operation of short time.In addition, display control unit 17 is accepted the DN keyed jointing messenger of this short time, switches to the control of the demonstration shown in Figure 10 (B).
Namely, among Figure 10 (B), the demonstration " 2007/8/8 " of the representative information of viewing area 21c is changed to next photography date temporal information " 2007/8/20 ", and again remove the identification mark symbol 21e contain as the picture number (21~25) of the image of the photography date temporal information of representative information, switch to the demonstration that common picture number is only arranged, then carry out the demonstration of the upper mark of picture number (19~20,26~27) the identification mark symbol 21e beyond the image with this representative information.Thus, can determine to have the thumbnail image of the image of the representative information that in the 21c of viewing area, shows.
In addition, in order under the state of Figure 10 (B), to restart the rolling of thumbnail pictures, can carry out pressing of DN key by the user and give as security operation, proceed this by giving as security operation.
In the explanation of an above-mentioned execution mode, thumbnail image can adopt specific image related information to arrange in turn and without interruption.
Relative therewith, in the another display case of following explanation, when when adopting specific image related information to arrange thumbnail image in turn, with the continuous a plurality of thumbnail images with same image related information as a group, when display part 21 shows thumbnail pictures, arrange in the mode that thumbnail image with different specific image related informations is not mixed.
Figure 11 is the figure of the thumbnail image arranged with other forms of expression.Wherein, the thumbnail image after Figure 11 (A) expression is arranged and the thumbnail pictures that shows according to this thumbnail image.After Figure 11 (B) was illustrated in and rolls under the state of Figure 11 (A), representative information changed and the state that temporarily stops.After Figure 11 (C) was illustrated in and rolls under the state of Figure 11 (B), representative information changed and the state that temporarily stops.
In this display case, shown in Figure 11 (A), carry out the arrangement of thumbnail image according to photography date temporal information, in the case, make according to each image with identical photography date temporal information, namely establish the thumbnail image of the form that picture number 1~20 arranges for d group after for c group, picture number 28 for b group, picture number 26~27 for a group, picture number 21~25.Like this, in the time will being shown to display part as thumbnail pictures according to the thumbnail image of each group unit of each the image spaced apart with same photography date temporal information, should form by nine thumbnail images a picture of thumbnail pictures, but in the case, cause occurring the situation that a picture is not all filled up by thumbnail image.In the case, this display case is provided with the blank parts shown in the symbol 21f in Figure 11 (A) etc.
As such arrangement, the different image of specific image related information is mixed, even specific image related information that will be corresponding with the thumbnail image that is configured in position, the upper left corner as representative information, also only shows the thumbnail image with image related information identical with this representative information all the time.
Under the state shown in Figure 11 (A), have the shown photography date temporal information of viewing area 21c last image (picture number 21), be that zone after the thumbnail image of the group of pictures shown in the symbol a is for blank.
Under this state, when the opening operation that carries out the DN key and making operation, remove temporary transient halted state, restart afterwards to roll.Then, after transferring to the state shown in Figure 11 (B), the thumbnail image of the group of pictures shown in the symbol b is shown to display part 21 as thumbnail pictures, temporarily stop again to roll.When switching to the demonstration of this Figure 11 (B), the demonstration of viewing area 21c switches to the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/20 " of the group of pictures that represents with symbol b.
Under this state, when the opening operation that again carries out the DN key and making operation, after having removed temporary transient halted state, restart to roll equally.Then, transfer to the state shown in Figure 11 (C), the thumbnail image of the group of pictures that will represent with symbol c is shown to display part 21 as thumbnail pictures, temporarily stops afterwards again rolling.When switching to the demonstration of this Figure 11 (C), the demonstration of viewing area 21c switches to the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/31 " of the group of pictures that represents with symbol c.
In the explanation of an above-mentioned execution mode, the demonstration switching of thumbnail pictures is rolled.Relative therewith, in the display case of following explanation, the demonstration of thumbnail pictures is switched and is switched take page or leaf as unit by each picture.
The figure of other display cases that the demonstration of the on thumbnail pictures when Figure 12 is the regeneration mode of digital camera of expression an embodiment of the present invention is switched.The feature of the example of Figure 12 is, when switching with picture unit and representative information when changing, shows the initial thumbnail image of this new representative information in the beginning configuration of thumbnail pictures.
Wherein, Figure 12 (A) is the figure that is illustrated in the thumbnail pictures when starting under the thumbnail regeneration mode of regeneration mode.Figure 12 (B) is illustrated under the state of Figure 12 (A) state that thumbnail pictures has been switched behind the picture.After Figure 12 (C) was illustrated under the state of Figure 12 (B) thumbnail pictures switched a picture, representative information changed and temporarily stops a state of change action.Figure 12 (D) is illustrated under the state of Figure 12 (C) and restarts display action, carries out that switching that the demonstration of thumbnail image arranges and representative information change again and the state that temporarily stops.Figure 12 (E) is illustrated under the state of Figure 12 (D) and restarts display action, carries out that thumbnail image shows that the switching of arranging and representative information change again and the state that temporarily stops.
In this display case, at first, the show state of the display part 21 when starting digital camera 1 and having selected regeneration action beginning based on the thumbnail regeneration mode under regeneration mode is the state of Figure 12 (A).
In the demonstration of this Figure 12 (A), identical with the display case of above-mentioned execution mode etc., initial zone (3 images * 3 images) in the thumbnail image that will arrange according to specific image related information is shown on the display part 21 as thumbnail pictures, shows the photography date temporal information " 2007/8/8 " corresponding with picture number 1 as representative information on the 21c of its viewing area.
Under this state, when being pressed signature operation (continuing operation) DN key by the user, begin to carry out the switching demonstration of thumbnail pictures.The switching of the thumbnail pictures of carrying out here, is shown as a picture (3 images of thumbnail image * 3 images) that will be shown on the display part 21 and switches as the demonstration of a unit.Thus, the demonstration shown in Figure 12 (A) switches to the demonstration shown in Figure 12 (B), then switches to the demonstration shown in Figure 12 (C).
In the thumbnail pictures shown in Figure 12 (C), comprise and have the specific image related information different from the representative information of constantly setting at this thumbnail image of (photography date temporal information).That is the thumbnail image that, in the thumbnail pictures of Figure 12 (C), comprises (with reference to table 1) after the picture number 21 with photography date temporal information different from the demonstration " 2007/8/8 " of viewing area 21c.
Therefore, when switching to the show state of Figure 12 (C), the picture number mark identification mark symbol 21e later to the picture number 21 of thumbnail image with different photography date temporal informations.Then, no matter whether be the state that continues pressing operation DN key, all temporarily stop to show change action.
Under this state, behind the opening operation that has been carried out the DN key by the user, when proceeding making operation, the demonstration change action of thumbnail pictures restarts, and switches to the demonstration of Figure 12 (D).Here, the demonstration change action that carries out is configured to the state in the picture upper left corner shown in Figure 12 (D) for the thumbnail image of the picture number 21 that will be arranged in the picture upper right corner under the state of Figure 12 (C), the initial thumbnail image that namely has an a group thumbnail image of the photography date temporal information different from representative information.Follow in this, picture number 21 later thumbnail images move similarly.Thus, the specific image related information corresponding with the picture number 21 date temporal information of namely photographing is set to representative information, and the date temporal information " 2007/8/20 " of should photographing is shown on the 21c of viewing area.Meanwhile, remove the identification mark symbol 21e that has the thumbnail image of the photography date temporal information identical with this representative information, namely marks in picture number 21~25.
In addition, in the thumbnail pictures of this Figure 12 (D), comprise the thumbnail image (after the picture number 26) with photography date temporal information different from the representative information that resets, so under the show state of Figure 12 (D), show that change action temporarily stops.Then, picture number 26 later picture number are continued mark identification mark symbol 21e.
Under this state, when the user again carried out the opening operation of DN key and proceeds making operation, the demonstration change action of thumbnail pictures restarted, and became the state shown in Figure 12 (E).
In the demonstration of Figure 12 (E), under the state of Figure 12 (D), picture number 26 later thumbnail image reiteration ground are shown, finally under the state shown in Figure 12 (E), the thumbnail image that is about to picture number 26 are configured to the state in the picture upper left corner, temporarily stop the movement that shows.
At this moment, representative information is set to the specific image related information (photography date temporal information) of picture number 26, the date temporal information of will photographing " 2007/8/31 " is shown among the 21c of viewing area, and removes the identification mark symbol 21e of picture number 26~27.In addition, the picture number 28 later picture number with photography date temporal information different from representative information are marked identification mark symbol 21e.
And, give as security operation if under this state, continue pressing of DN key, then show continuously afterwards switching.When variation has occured representative information, show that change action and above-mentioned explanation equally temporarily stop in addition.After, the effect of performance is identical.
The display changeover method under a picture unit with above-mentioned Figure 12 explanation also can be suitable for the thumbnail image that the aligning method that utilizes above-mentioned Figure 11 explanation makes.The display case of this moment as shown in figure 13.
Display case when Figure 13 represents to be useful in display changeover method under the picture unit of display case of Figure 12 for the thumbnail image that the aligning method with the display case of Figure 11 makes.Wherein Figure 13 (A) expression shows the final page in the thumbnail pictures of the image corresponding with a group of Figure 11 (A) and the state that temporarily stops.Figure 13 (B) expression shows the final page in the thumbnail pictures of the image corresponding with the b group of Figure 11 (A) and the state that temporarily stops.Figure 13 (C) expression shows the final page in the thumbnail pictures of the image corresponding with the c group of Figure 11 (A) and the state that temporarily stops.
Under the situation that a picture of thumbnail pictures is not all filled up by thumbnail image, there is the blank parts that represents with symbol 21f in the situation of this display case shown in Figure 13 (A)~Figure 13 (C).By being made as such display format, even the user also can easily identify the variation of specific image related information in the movement of the thumbnail pictures that shows continuously.
In addition, in an above-mentioned execution mode and above-mentioned each display case, the viewing area 21c that will be positioned at the representative information of the ad-hoc location on display part 21 pictures carries out illustration as the zone of picture substantial middle part, but this display position is not limited to this.
As the display position on the picture of viewing area 21c, can be shown in Figure 14, Figure 15 etc.
Figure 14 is with the zone of the prescribed limit of the upper right corner part on display part 21 pictures display case as viewing area 21c.
Figure 15 is that the full viewing area with display part 21 is divided into the zone (symbol 21g) that shows thumbnail pictures and the zone (symbol 21h) of demonstration representative information, and with the display case of this representative information viewing area 21h as the prescribed limit zone of the lower avris on the picture.In the situation that this display case, with the method that represents with each above-mentioned display case, namely compare in the display packing of thumbnail pictures stack representative information, there is not the situation as having hidden each thumbnail image, so can be described as the picture structure of more easily observing.In addition, because can guarantee the scope of wide representative information viewing area 21h, so not only can show an image related information, can also show simultaneously a plurality of image related informations.
In an above-mentioned execution mode and above-mentioned each display case illustration following situation, namely as in the image related information that accompany view data, specific image related information employing photography date temporal information, and carry out the arrangement of thumbnail image according to this information, perhaps this image related information is used as representative information.
As mentioned above, in applicable display control unit of the present invention, can be used as information that specific image related information the uses date temporal information that is not limited to photograph, except this information, also have such as camera positions information and utilize photograph album information that album function makes etc.
Therefore, to the situation of utilizing camera positions information with utilize each display case of the situation of photograph album information to describe.
Figure 16, Figure 17 be utilize the explanation of an above-mentioned execution mode, carry out adopting camera positions information as the display case of the situation of the arrangement information of thumbnail image when image shows at the thumbnail regeneration mode by digital camera.
Wherein Figure 16 (A) is that expression adopts camera positions information to arrange the figure of a junior one regional thumbnail pictures of the situation of thumbnail image.Figure 16 (B) is the figure of the state in the action that is illustrated in after the rolling of beginning thumbnail pictures under the state of Figure 16 (A).After Figure 16 (C) is illustrated in and further continues under the state of Figure 16 (B) to roll based on the last thumbnail pictures of a group thumbnail image with identical camera positions information, the state that the expression scroll actions temporarily stops.
Then, Figure 17 (A) is illustrated in and restarts the state that rolls, again roll and temporarily stop under the temporary transient halted state of Figure 16 (C).In addition, in Figure 17, diagram has been omitted in the configuration of the thumbnail image outside the viewing area of display part 21.Figure 17 (B) is illustrated in the state in the rolling after restarting to roll under the temporary transient halted state of Figure 17 (A).Figure 17 (C) is illustrated in the state that the rolling that restarts among Figure 17 (B) temporarily stops.The state that Figure 17 (D) again rolls and temporarily stops after being illustrated in and restarting to roll under the show state of Figure 17 (C).
In this display case, at first, under regeneration mode, start digital camera 1, and the show state of the display part 21 when having selected regeneration action beginning based on the thumbnail regeneration mode is the state of Figure 16 (A).In addition, with reference to table 1, this image related information accompany a plurality of view data that recording medium 18a records about the concrete example of the camera positions information in the image related information.
In the demonstration of this Figure 16 (A), same with the display case of above-mentioned execution mode etc., junior one zone (3 images * 3 images) in the thumbnail image that will arrange by specific image related information (in this example for camera positions information) is shown to display part 21 as thumbnail pictures, and in the 21c of this viewing area as photography date temporal information " Tokyo " corresponding to representative information demonstration and picture number 1.
Under this state, when the user presses signature operation (continuing operation) to the DN key, begin to carry out the rolling of thumbnail pictures.Thus, the demonstration shown in Figure 16 (A) becomes the demonstration shown in Figure 16 (C) via the demonstration shown in Figure 16 (B).
As shown in table 1, the camera positions information in the view data that recording medium 18a records is picture number 1~20,49~60 etc. for the view data in " Tokyo ".Thumbnail image be arranged as with picture number arranged sequentially have a form of the view data of identical camera positions information.Then, after based on the thumbnail image of a plurality of view data with these a succession of camera positions information, arrange a group thumbnail image with next camera positions information.
In this case, this display case in the thumbnail pictures of the final area that becomes a group thumbnail image, causes occurring the situation that a picture is not all filled up by thumbnail image shown in Figure 16 (C), at this moment, be provided with the blank parts that represents with symbol 21f at picture.
Therefore, give as security operation and when making the state of its continuation, become the state of Figure 16 (C) via the state of Figure 16 (B) when becoming under the show state of Figure 16 (A) by the user DN key to be pressed.Then, under the state of this Figure 16 (C), show have with show in the last thumbnail image of the identical camera positions information of representative information.Therefore, when becoming this state, even pressing of DN key given as security operation and be in the continuation state and also will temporarily stop to roll.
