[Operation]
Next, image display processing by the image display device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In this image display process, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the CPU 18 sequentially designates each image folder 152 displayed on the desktop as a designated image folder 152S, and performs a theme detection process in the folder (step S1). .

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, in this theme detection process in the folder, first, the CPU 18 creates a new image / theme correspondence table 154 (hereinafter referred to as image / theme correspondence) for the designated image folder 152S in which no data is stored. Table 154N), and each image data included in the designated image folder 152S is sorted in time order (in order of creation date and time in this embodiment) and stored in the image / theme correspondence table 154N ( Step T1), the image of the top image data is set as a processing target (Step T2).

  Next, the CPU 18 compares the image of the image data to be processed (hereinafter referred to as the image to be processed) with each of the typical images TG in the icon data table 153, and the typical image TG similar to the image to be processed. In the icon data table 153, and the image theme of each detected typical image TG is accumulated and stored in the theme development area 160 (step T3). It should be noted that a conventionally known image matching technique can be used to determine the ratio between the image to be processed and the typical image TG.

  Next, the CPU 18 totals the image themes stored and stored in the theme development area 160 for each type, and stores the three types of image themes having a large number in the image / theme correspondence table 154N as the image themes of the image to be processed. (Step T4).

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not the next image data exists in the designated image folder 152S (step T5). If it is determined that the next image data exists (step T5; Yes), the next image data is processed. (Step T6), the process proceeds to step T3 described above.

  If it is determined in step T5 that the next image data does not exist (step T5; No), the CPU 18 ends the folder theme detection process.

  When the above-described folder theme detection process is completed, as shown in FIG. 6, the CPU 18 next determines whether or not the image folder 152 is designated via the mouse 121 or the like (step S2).

  If it is determined in step S2 that the image folder 152 has been designated (step S2; Yes), the CPU 18 determines whether or not a processing menu display operation has been performed by right-clicking the mouse 121 (step S3). If it is determined that the process has not been performed (step S3; No), the process proceeds to another process. In the present embodiment, the processing menu displayed by right-clicking the mouse 121 includes “open”, “open for each theme”, and “theme setting” as shown in FIG. Etc. Menu is included. Then, the “open” processing menu instructs to open the image folder 152 (hereinafter, designated image folder 152S) designated in step S2. In addition, the “open for each theme” processing menu instructs to open only images of an arbitrary theme among the images in the designated image folder 152S. Further, the “theme setting” processing menu instructs to create a link icon for an image of an arbitrary theme among the images in the designated image folder 152S.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the processing menu display operation has been performed (step S3; Yes), the CPU 18 displays processing menus such as “open”, “open for each theme”, and “theme setting”. After the display, it is determined whether or not the “theme setting” processing menu is specified (step S4). If it is determined that the processing menu is not specified (step S4; No), the processing proceeds to another processing.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the “theme setting” processing menu has been designated (step S4; Yes), the CPU 18 stores the image theme stored in the icon data table 153 and the designated image folder 152S. The image theme associated with each image in the corresponding image / theme correspondence table 154 (the theme of the image included in the image list displayed in step S8 described later) is read, and the theme icon I corresponding to the read image theme. Are displayed as a list on the display unit 11 in a predetermined order (step S5). In the present embodiment, at this time, the CPU 18 displays the theme icons I in the descending order of the number of associated images, but the theme icons I are in ascending order of creation date and time of associated images. May be displayed.

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not any theme icon I is selected by the user (step S6). If it is determined that the theme icon I is not selected (step S6; No), the CPU 18 proceeds to another process. .

  If it is determined in step S6 that any theme icon I has been selected, in other words, if any image theme represented by the theme icon I has been selected (step S6; Yes). The CPU 18 displays menus such as “create theme link” and “create theme folder” as processing menus for the selected theme icon I (hereinafter referred to as the selected theme icon IS). Here, the processing menu of “create theme link” uses the selected theme icon IS as a link icon (shortcut icon), and more specifically, associates with the image theme of the selected theme icon IS in the image / theme correspondence table 154. It is instructed to display on the display unit 11 as a link icon for the displayed image. The processing menu of “create theme folder” stores the image associated with the image theme of the selected theme icon IS in the image / theme correspondence table 154 in more detail, with the selected theme icon IS as a folder icon. It is instructed to display on the display unit 11 as a folder icon.

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not a “theme link creation” processing menu has been selected (step S7). If it is determined that the processing menu has been selected (step S7; Yes), all of the specified image folders 152S are stored. Are thumbnailed and displayed as a list on the display unit 11 (step S8). At this time, the CPU 18 adjusts the size of each thumbnail image so that all the images in the designated image folder 152S are displayed together in the display area of the display unit 11. At this time, the CPU 18 may display the images side by side in the order of time or display them in the order of the titles (eg, the order of the Japanese syllabary).

  Next, the CPU 18 displays the selected theme icon IS on the top image (thumbnail image) displayed on the display unit 11 (step S9). At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B described later, the CPU 18 displays an arrow mark indicating the existence of the link destination in the selected theme icon IS (see the lower left portion of the selected theme icon IS in the figure). .

  Next, after designating the first image as a check target (step S10), the CPU 18 refers to the image / theme correspondence table 154 to select an image theme of the check target, that is, an image on which the selected theme icon IS is superimposed. When it is detected, it is determined whether any of the detected themes (image theme of the image to be checked) matches the theme of the selected theme icon IS (step S11), and when it is determined that they do not match (step S11) No), the process proceeds to step S13 described later.

  If it is determined in step S11 that any image theme for the check target image matches the theme of the selected theme icon IS (step S11; Yes), the CPU 18 displays the check target image in a red frame. And displaying the identification on the display unit 11, and displaying a minimal thumbnail image of the image to be checked on the selected theme icon IS (step S12).

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not the next image exists in the image list displayed on the display unit 11 (step S13). If it is determined that the next image exists (step S13; Yes), the next image is displayed. The image is designated as a check target, the selected theme icon IS is moved onto the check target image (step S14), and the process proceeds to the above-described step S11. As a result, the selected theme icon IS moves on each image in the image list in a predetermined order (here, the arrangement order on the display unit 11). In this step S14, when a minimal thumbnail image is displayed on the selected theme icon IS in the above step S12, the CPU 18 moves the selected theme icon IS together with the thumbnail image.

  If it is determined in step S13 that the next image does not exist in the image list (step S13; No), the CPU 18 ends the display of the image list on the display unit 11 and the selected theme icon IS on the desktop. Is displayed as a link icon (step S15), and then the process proceeds to step S2. The theme icon I displayed as a link icon at this time is linked to each image associated with the image theme of the theme icon I by the image / theme correspondence table 154.

  In step S15, the CPU 18 displays a reduced image of the selected theme icon IS on the designated image folder 152S. This indicates that an image corresponding to the selected theme icon IS exists in the designated image folder 152S.

  If it is determined in step S2 that the image folder 152 is not specified (step S2; No), the CPU 18 determines whether the theme icon I displayed as a link icon is specified (step S21). . In the present embodiment, the user is described as specifying the theme icon I by double-clicking the mouse 121 in step S21, but it may be specified by another operation.

  And when it determines with the theme icon I as a link icon not being designated in this step S21 (step S21; No), CPU18 transfers to another process.

  If it is determined in step S21 that the theme icon I as a link icon has been designated (step S21; Yes), the CPU 18 enlarges and displays the designated theme icon I on the display unit 11. A thumbnail of each image associated with the image theme of the theme icon I is displayed on the theme icon I by the image / theme correspondence table 154 (step S22).

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not any thumbnail image is designated by a user operation (step S23). When it is determined that it is not designated (step S23; No), the CPU 18 proceeds to another process. .

  If it is determined in step S23 that any thumbnail image has been designated by the user operation (step S23; Yes), the CPU 18 enlarges and displays the designated thumbnail image (step S24).

  Next, the CPU 18 determines whether or not a return operation for returning the process to the immediately previous display state is performed (step S25). When it is determined that the operation is performed (step S25; Yes), the above-described step S23 is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined not to be performed (step S25; No), the process proceeds to another process.

(Example of image display processing)
Next, the above image display process will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8A, with the image folder 152 of “200809109 Yangshuo Lake Tour” and the image folder 152 of “20080126 Shanghai” displayed on the desktop, the image folder 152 of “200809109 Yangshuo Lake Tour” is displayed. Are designated as the designated image folder 152S (step S1), as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, each image data contained in the designated image folder 152S is sorted in the order of creation date and new image / theme correspondence. It is stored in the table 154N (step T1).

Next, after the image of the first image data is set as a processing target (step T2), the processing target image is compared with each typical image TG in the icon data table 153, and is similar to the processing target image. The typical image TG is searched in the icon data table 153, and the image themes “bus”, “in-vehicle”, “guide”,... Of each detected typical image TG are accumulated and stored in the theme development area 160 (step T3). . Then, the image themes stored and stored in the theme development area 160 are aggregated for each type, and as shown in FIG. 5, three types of image themes “bus”, “in-vehicle”, and “guide” are processed. The image theme of the image is stored in the image / theme correspondence table 154N (step T4). Thereafter, similarly, the remaining image data is set as a processing target (step T6), and the image theme is stored in the image / theme correspondence table 154N (step T4).
Similarly, the image / theme correspondence table 154 is created for the image folder 152 of “20080126 Shanghai”.
