  A memory card slot 30 is provided on the side surface of the camera body 11. The memory card slot 30 is detachably loaded with a memory card 31 which is a storage means for storing image data.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the digital camera 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the digital camera 10 includes a CPU 40 that is a control unit that controls the entire camera. The CPU 40 is connected with the operation unit 18 and the shutter button 28 described above. When each operation button 21 to 27 constituting the operation unit 18 is operated, the CPU 40 acquires an operation signal from each operation button 21 to 27 and executes processing corresponding to each operation signal.

  A CCD image sensor (hereinafter simply referred to as “CCD”) 41 is provided behind the photographing lens 13, and subject light transmitted through the photographing lens 13 is incident on the light receiving surface of the CCD 41. The CCD 41 is connected to the CPU 40 via a CCD driver 42.

  The CPU 40 controls the CCD driver 42 to generate a drive signal for driving the CCD 41. The CCD 41 is driven by this drive signal, images a subject image, and outputs an analog image signal.

  A correlated double sampling circuit (CDS) 43 is connected to the CCD 41, and an analog image pickup signal is input thereto. The CDS 43 removes noise from the image signal and then outputs the image signal to the AMP 44. The AMP 44 amplifies the imaging signal with a gain corresponding to the imaging sensitivity set by the CPU 40, and then outputs the imaging signal to the A / D converter 45.

  The A / D converter 45 converts the imaging signal from an analog signal to a digital signal and outputs it as image data. An image input controller 46 is connected to the A / D converter 45, and image data is output to the image input controller 46.

  The image input controller 46 controls input of image data to the data data bus 47. In addition to the CPU 40 and the image input controller 46, the SDRAM 48, the VRAM 49, the image signal processing unit 50, the compression / decompression processing unit 51, the media controller 52, the graphic controller 53, the GPS receiver 54, and the touch panel 55 are connected to the data bus 47. Has been. The CPU 40 controls these via the data bus 47 and can exchange data with each other.

  The image input controller 46 stores the image data acquired from the A / D converter 45 in the SDRAM 48 or the VRAM 49. The image signal processing unit 50 performs various image processing such as white balance correction, gradation conversion processing, and YC conversion processing on the image data while the image data is temporarily stored in the SDRAM 48.

  The VRAM 49 temporarily stores image data when an image is displayed on the LCD 16. The graphic controller 53 converts the image data stored in the VRAM 49 so that it can be displayed in accordance with the number of display pixels of the LCD 16. The graphic controller 53 is connected to an LCD driver 56, and image data is output to the LCD driver 56. The LCD driver 56 controls the LCD 16 based on this image data to display an image.

  The compression / decompression processing unit 51 performs compression processing on the image data subjected to image processing in a compression format such as a JPEG method. The CPU 40 controls the media controller 52 to store the compressed image data in the memory card 31. The compression / decompression processing unit 51 performs decompression processing on the compressed image data when reproducing the image data stored in the memory card 31.

  The GPS receiver 54 includes the antenna 29 described above, and calculates latitude information and longitude information based on radio waves from GPS satellites received by the antenna 29. When the CPU 40 stores the image data in the memory card 31, the CPU 40 stores an image file in which the latitude and longitude information is added to the image data. That is, the latitude and longitude information is stored in the tag information of the image file.

  The touch panel 55 is provided on the display surface of the LCD 16 as described above. When touched by the user, the touch panel 55 detects the contact position and outputs position information to the CPU 40. The CPU 40 acquires this position information and executes a corresponding process. For example, when a plurality of operation buttons are displayed on the LCD 16, the CPU 40 specifies the operated button based on the position information acquired from the touch panel 55 and executes processing corresponding to the operation button.

  When an attribute image to be described later is displayed on the LCD 16, the CPU 40 identifies an area designated by the user based on the position information acquired from the touch panel 55. As the touch panel 55, for example, an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave type is used.

  In addition, a ROM 57 and a RAM 58 are connected to the CPU 40. The ROM 57 stores a control program for controlling each part in the camera body 11, various control data, an image reproduction program, and the like. The ROM 57 is a classification image storage unit and stores classification image data used when generating an attribute image. The CPU 40 controls each unit based on these programs and various control data. The RAM 58 temporarily stores work data.

  Further, in the CPU 40, an extraction unit 61, an attribute image generation unit 62, and a play list generation unit 63 are provided. The extraction unit 61 extracts attribute data indicating the attribute of the image data from each image file stored in the memory card 31. For example, when position information indicating a shooting location is extracted as attribute data, latitude and longitude information added to each image file is extracted as position information. That is, the extracted data 70 is latitude and longitude information added to each image file as shown in FIG.

  Further, the attribute image generation unit 62 generates an attribute image for classifying and displaying the attribute data extracted by the extraction unit 61. For example, as described above, when position information is extracted as attribute data, as shown in FIG. 5, the latitude and longitude information of each image file is mapped on a map to generate an attribute image 71. As described above, when mapping location information on a map, all location information may be mapped on the map, and a plurality of latitude and longitude information exist for one area (for example, each prefecture). Alternatively, only one marking indicating only the presence / absence of image data may be applied to the area.

  The play list generating unit 63 determines attribute data included in an area designated by the user on the attribute image displayed on the LCD 16 and displays image data corresponding to the attribute data in a slide show. Create a playlist. For example, when the user traces on the touch panel 55 and designates the area A1 shown in FIG. 5, the position information included in the area A1 is determined, and image data corresponding to the position information is displayed in a slide show. Create a playlist. Note that the reproduction list includes, for example, image file names to be displayed in a slide show and the display order. The CPU 40 displays the images on the LCD 16 as a slide show based on the reproduction list.

  Next, image reproduction processing of the digital camera 10 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the power of the digital camera 10 is turned on, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the playback mode is set. If it is determined that the playback mode is not set, the image playback process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the playback mode is set, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the user has selected the designation of the playback image. This determination is made, for example, based on the selection result of the user by displaying on the LCD 16 a screen for selecting whether or not to specify the reproduction image. First, a case where it is determined that the designation of the reproduction image has been selected will be described. In this case, the extraction unit 61 extracts position information (latitude information and longitude information) from the tag information of each image file stored in the memory card 31.

  Thereafter, the attribute image generation unit 62 generates the attribute image 71 by mapping the extracted position information on the map. As shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 40 displays the attribute image 71 on the LCD 16. After displaying the attribute image on the LCD 16, the CPU 40 determines whether an area is designated on the attribute image 71. If it is determined that the area is not specified, the process waits until an area is selected. If it is determined that a region has been selected, the playlist generation unit 63 determines attribute data (latitude and longitude information) included in the selected region A1, and images corresponding to these latitude and longitude information. A playlist for displaying the data as a slide show is generated.

  The CPU 40 displays the images on the LCD 16 as a slide show based on the reproduction display list. Thereafter, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the mode has been switched to another mode, and when it is determined that the mode has not been switched to another mode, the CPU 40 returns to the process of determining whether or not the designation of the reproduction image has been selected. If it is determined that the mode has been switched to another mode, the image reproduction process is terminated.

  Next, a case where it is determined that the designation of the reproduction image has not been selected will be described. In this case, the CPU 40 displays images on the LCD 16 as a slide show based on the existing reproduction list. The existing image list is, for example, a reproduction list for displaying all of the image data stored in the memory card 31 in the shooting order. Thereafter, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the mode has been switched to another mode, and when it is determined that the mode has not been switched to another mode, the CPU 40 returns to the process of determining whether or not the designation of the reproduction image has been selected. If it is determined that the mode has been switched to another mode, the image reproduction process is terminated.

  In the above-described image reproduction process, the case where the image data is selected according to the position information (latitude and longitude information) and the slide show is displayed has been described. However, the image data is narrowed down by a plurality of conditions as well as one condition of the position information. You can also display a slide show.

  Hereinafter, an image reproduction process in a case where image data is narrowed down and displayed as a slide show under a plurality of conditions will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the power of the digital camera 10 is turned on, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the playback mode is set. If it is determined that the playback mode is not set, the image playback process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the playback mode is set, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the user has selected the designation of the playback image. First, a case where it is determined that the designation of the reproduction image has been selected will be described. In this case, the extraction unit 61 extracts position information (latitude information and longitude information) from the tag information of each image file stored in the memory card 31.

  Thereafter, the attribute image generation unit 62 generates an attribute image 72 in which the extracted position information is mapped on a map, and the CPU 40 displays the attribute image 72 on the LCD 16 as shown in FIG.

  After displaying the attribute image 72 on the LCD 16, the CPU 40 determines whether an area is designated on the attribute image 72. When it is determined that the area is not specified, the process waits until the area is specified. As shown in FIG. 8, when it is determined that the area A2 is designated, the playlist generation unit 63 determines the position information included in the designated area A2.

  Thereafter, the extraction unit 61 determines the position information included in the designated area A2, and extracts date information from the image file corresponding to the position information. The attribute image generation unit 62 generates an attribute image 73 in which the extracted date information is marked on the calendar. The CPU 40 displays the attribute image 73 on the LCD 16 as shown in FIG.

  After displaying the attribute image 73 on the LCD 16, the CPU 40 determines whether an area is designated on the attribute image 73. When it is determined that the area is not specified, the process waits until the area is specified. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, when it is determined that the area A3 is designated, the playlist generation unit 63 discriminates date information included in the designated area A3, and an image corresponding to these date information. A playlist for displaying the data as a slide show is generated.

  The CPU 40 displays the images on the LCD 16 as a slide show based on the reproduction display list. Thereafter, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the mode has been switched to another mode, and when it is determined that the mode has not been switched to another mode, the CPU 40 returns to the process of determining whether or not the designation of the reproduction image has been selected. If it is determined that the mode has been switched to another mode, the image reproduction process is terminated.

  Next, a case where it is determined that the designation of the reproduction image has not been selected will be described. In this case, the CPU 40 displays the images on the LCD 16 as a slide show based on the existing image reproduction list. This existing image list is a reproduction list for displaying all the image data stored in the memory card 31 in the order of photographing.

  Thereafter, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the mode has been switched to another mode, and when it is determined that the mode has not been switched to another mode, the CPU 40 returns to the process of determining whether or not the designation of the reproduction image has been selected. If it is determined that the mode has been switched to another mode, the image reproduction process is terminated.

  Although the image reproduction process has been described above, the image reproduction process is executed by the CPU 40 based on the image reproduction program stored in the ROM 57. Further, in the playback mode, not only can the images be displayed as a slide show, but the images can be played forward and backward by operating the forward button 23 and the backward button 22.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a selection screen 84 generated by reducing a plurality of maps 81 to 83 is displayed. Thereafter, when the user operates the touch panel 55 or the operation unit 18, a desired map is selected from these maps 81 to 83.

  When a desired map is selected, the attribute image generation unit 62 generates an attribute image using this selected map. For example, when the map 83 is selected, the attribute image generation unit 62 generates the attribute image 85 by mapping the position information to the map 83 as shown in FIG. 13, and the CPU 40 displays the attribute image 85 on the LCD 16.
