An input unit 81 for inputting the photographed image information from a recording medium 89 such as a ROM and an image information storage unit 82 as a hard disk for inputting and storing the photographed image information from the input unit 81 are arranged.

  The period unit may be a day, a month, a week, a year, a morning in a day and a afternoon in a day, a day in a day and a night in a day, or the like.

  A plurality of types of period units are stored in the period unit storage unit 83, and one of the period units is input to the distribution unit 10 by an external command.

  The operation of creating the index album booklet 5 by the index album booklet creating apparatus 100 will be described. Although the case where the period unit “1 day” is input to the distribution unit 10 will be described here, the operation of creating the index album booklet 5 is the same for other period units.

  Each image stored in the image information storage unit 82 and incidental information indicating the shooting time t of each image are input to the distribution unit 10. That is, the image G (t1) at the photographing time t1, the image G (t2) at the photographing time t2,. Here, incidental information indicating the photographing time of each image is included in the photographed image information.

  On the other hand, the period unit “1 day” stored in the period unit storage unit 83 is input to the distribution unit 10 in accordance with an external command.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a plurality of periods that are consecutive on a time axis T in a time-series order divided for each day, which is a period unit, and shooting times of the respective images.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the distribution unit 10 distributes the images G (t1), G (t2),... Into a plurality of periods divided every day. That is, each of the images G (t1), G (t2),... In the time periods Wa, Wb,. t2) are assigned to one period corresponding to the photographing times t1, t2,.

  Here, the predetermined number is 12 for any page portion. That is, 12 images can be displayed on each page portion P1, P2,... Capable of displaying a predetermined number of images. However, this is not limited to the case where the number of images that can be displayed on each page portion is the same, and the predetermined number is set so that the number of images that can be displayed on each page portion is different from each other. Also good.

  Here, for example, 10 images G (t1) to G (t10) are taken on January 1, 2006, and 20 images G (t11) to G (t30) are 2006. 10 images G (t31) to G (t40) were taken on January 15, 2006, and G (t41) to G It is assumed that (t49) was taken on February 11, 2006.

  The distribution unit 10 includes ten images G (t1) to G (t10) associated with information whose shooting time is January 1, 2006, in one of time units that are continuous in time series. Assign to a certain period Wa. In addition, the 20 images G (t11) to G (t30) accompanying the information that the photographing time is January 2, 2006 are allocated to the period Wb. Further, the ten images G (t31) to G (t40) accompanying the information that the shooting time is January 15, 2006 are allocated to the period We. Finally, the nine images G (t41) to G (t49) accompanying the information that the shooting time is February 11, 2006 are allocated to the period Wh.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the display control unit 20 displays the images in the shooting order so that only the images distributed in one period are displayed in each page portion.

  That is, the images G (t1) to G (t10) distributed in the period Wa are displayed on the first page of the index album booklet paper 5 'so that only the images distributed in the period Wa are displayed in the page portion. Is displayed on the page portion P1.

  Here, a case is shown in which ten images are continuously displayed in the shooting order from the upper left, which is the top display area of the page portion P1. As a result of the display as described above, a margin for two images is generated at the end of the page portion P1.

  Note that the top display area of the page portion is an area in which an image in the oldest shooting order is displayed when a predetermined number of images are displayed in a page portion where a predetermined number of images can be displayed.

In addition, the continuous display from the top display area of the page portion means that images are sequentially displayed from the top display area with respect to a predetermined number of image display areas in a page portion where a predetermined number of images can be displayed. Note that the display in the photographing order is determined based on the position of the center of gravity of the display area of each image. For example, when the area indicating the image is a rectangle, the position of the intersection of two diagonal lines of the rectangle is the position of the center of gravity of the image.

  The display of the shooting order is set so that an image shot at a time traced back in the past by a position above the page portion (in the arrow + Y direction in the figure) is displayed. Note that the display in the above-described shooting order is set so that the priority in the vertical direction is higher than that in the horizontal direction. In the case of making it, it is set so that an image taken at a time traced back in the past is displayed on the left side (arrow + X direction in the figure) of the page portion.

  In other words, the shooting order display is set so that the position of the center of gravity of the image shot at a new time is positioned below the index album booklet base paper 5 '(in the direction of the arrow -Y in the figure). In addition, when the images are displayed with the positions of the centers of gravity of the two images coincided with the vertical direction (arrow ± Y direction in the figure) of the page part, -X direction) is set to display an image taken at a new time. The time corresponds to the time indicated by the shooting time accompanying each image.

  However, the display is not limited to the case described above, and the display of the shooting order may be determined based on a different standard. Further, a display area for one image may be placed between the images without continuously displaying the images. Furthermore, the top display area is not necessarily limited to the upper left of the page portion, and the top display area may be any area in the page portion.

  The position in the display area used as a reference when arranging the images in the order of shooting is not necessarily the position of the center of gravity. If the area indicating the image is rectangular, the upper left corner of the image display area is used as a reference. Good.

  Subsequently, the display control unit 20 displays the 20 images G (t11) to G (t30) distributed in the period Wb so that only the images distributed in the period Wb are displayed in the page portion. The index album booklet base paper 5 ′ is continuously displayed in the shooting order from the top left top display area of the page portion P2 which is the second page. As a result of displaying in this way, 12 images G (t11) to G (t22) are displayed on the page portion P2, and 8 images G (t23) to G (t30) are the third page. Displayed on the part P3. Then, a margin for four images is generated at the end of the page portion P3.

  Similarly to the above, the display control unit 20 displays the ten images G (t31) to G (t40) distributed in the period We at the upper left of the page portion P4 which is the fourth page of the index album booklet base paper 5 '. From the top display area in the order of shooting. As a result of the display as described above, a margin for two images is generated at the end of the page portion P4.

  Further, the display control unit 20 displays the nine images G (t40) to G (t49) distributed in the period Wh at the top left of the page portion P5 which is the fifth page of the index album booklet base paper 5 '. Display continuously from the area in chronological order. As a result of the display as described above, a margin of three images is generated at the end of the page portion P5.

  The index album booklet 5 can be created by displaying each image on the index album booklet base paper 5 'as described above.

  In the embodiment of the index album booklet creation apparatus 100, the images distributed in one period by the distribution unit 10 are displayed in each page portion by the display control unit 20 only in the images distributed in the one period. The images are displayed in order, but the display of each image in each page portion in the display order may be as follows.

  That is, the display order N of the last image and the last page in the last page portion in which the last image is displayed when the images distributed in the one period are continuously displayed in the shooting order. When the ratio N / M with the number M of images that can be displayed on the part is obtained and the ratio N / M is less than a predetermined value, the images distributed in the last period in the last page part Subsequently, the images distributed in the next period of the one period are continuously displayed in the shooting order, and when the ratio N / M is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the images distributed in the next period are displayed on the last page portion. You may make it display continuously on the next page part in order of imaging | photography.

  Next, the number of page portions constituting the index album booklet is determined in advance, and all the images carried by the photographed image information are displayed in the index album booklet, and the remaining page portions in which no image is displayed are displayed. A case where display is performed so that the number is minimized will be described.
