Description

実施形態によれば、電子機器は、ディスプレイと、カメラ、外部ストレージ、携帯電子機器の１つ以上からの画像群と前記画像群の各画像の特徴量を示すインデックスデータとを保存する写真フォルダと、フォトビューアアプリケーションの実行により、前記写真フォルダへ新たな画像の保存、前記新たな画像の前記インデックスデータの生成と保存、及び前記写真フォルダ内の前記画像群から検索キーとして指定される顔画像に類似する顔画像をそれぞれ含む画像群の検索並びに表示を実行するプロセッサと、を具備する。前記プロセッサは、前記検索キーとして指定される第１顔画像の顔特徴量と前記インディクスデータの前記特徴量とを比較して、前記第１顔画像に類似する画像群を前記写真フォルダから抽出し、抽出された前記画像群のトータル撮影期間を複数の期間に分割した小期間毎に対応して、前記抽出された画像群から代表画像を選出し、前記小期間毎に対応して選出された代表画像を時系列順に前記ディスプレイに表示する。 According to the embodiment, the electronic device includes a display, a photo folder that stores an image group from one or more of a camera, an external storage, and a portable electronic device, and index data indicating a feature amount of each image of the image group; By executing a photo viewer application, a new image is stored in the photo folder, the index data of the new image is generated and stored, and a face image designated as a search key from the image group in the photo folder is stored. And a processor that executes search and display of image groups each including similar face images. The processor compares the facial feature amount of the first face image specified as the search key with the feature amount of the index data, and extracts an image group similar to the first facial image from the photo folder. Then , a representative image is selected from the extracted image group corresponding to each small period obtained by dividing the total image capturing period of the extracted image group into a plurality of periods, and is selected corresponding to each small period. The representative images are displayed on the display in chronological order.
