That is, each button 121 is associated with the number of sections 100 and the number of pages, and when the viewer performs a touch operation on any button 121, the number of sections 100 and the number of pages change. When a touch operation is performed on any of the buttons 121, the display on the operation panel 120a ends.

  The number of sections 100 is linked to the left-right direction of the operation panel 120a. The button 121 on the left side of the operation panel 120a has a smaller number of corresponding sections 100, and the button 121 on the right side of the operation panel 120a has a larger number of corresponding sections 100. The number of pages of the electronic album is linked to the vertical direction of the operation panel 120a. The button 121 on the lower side of the operation panel 120a has a smaller number of corresponding pages, and the button 121 on the upper side of the operation panel 120a has a larger number of corresponding pages.

  The viewer selects the button 121 for performing a touch operation according to the level of interest in the related image data of the image data 31 in the selected state. For example, if the user is highly interested and wants to view more related image data, a touch operation may be performed on the button 121 on the right side of the operation panel 120a. At this time, the control unit 70 displays related image data in a large number of sections 100 as shown in FIG. The controller 70 increases the number of sections 100 if necessary. Further, as the number of pages increases, it becomes possible to browse image data 31 other than the related image data of the selected image data 31. Therefore, when the viewer wants to browse more diverse image data 31, the user may perform a touch operation on the button 121 on the upper side of the operation panel 120a.

  FIG. 9C is a diagram illustrating a display screen 73h on which an operation panel 120b different from the operation panel 120a illustrated in FIG. 9B is displayed. When the viewer performs a predetermined panel display operation when no image data 31 is selected, the control unit 70 displays the operation panel 120b in a pop-up manner so as to be superimposed on the display screen. The predetermined panel display operation is, for example, a touch operation on the touch panel 74 or an operation on an operation member (not shown).

  The operation panel 120b has a total of nine buttons 121, similar to the operation panel 120a illustrated in FIG. Each button 121 has a name of a category indicated by the category data 33 included in the electronic album. A total of nine alphabets A to I shown in FIG. 9C are actually names of categories such as “person” and “mobile vehicle”.

  The viewer selects the button 121 for performing a touch operation according to the level of interest in each displayed category. The control unit 70 changes the screen display so that more image data 31 of the category corresponding to the button on which the touch operation has been performed is displayed. For example, when the viewer performs a touch operation on the button 121 in which the name of the category “A” is written, the control unit 70 displays the screen so that more image data 31 belonging to the category A is displayed. change. The controller 70 increases the number of sections 100 if necessary. For example, when the image data 31 belonging to category A is relatively larger than the image data 31 belonging to other categories, the number of sections 100 is increased. Conversely, if the image data 31 belonging to category A is relatively less than the image data 31 belonging to other categories, the number of sections 100 is reduced.

  As described above, the control unit 70 changes both the display mode of the plurality of sections 100 and the plurality of image data 31 displayed in the plurality of sections 100 each time the operation panels 120a and 120b are operated.

According to the embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(11) The control unit 70 controls the plurality of selected image data 31 to be displayed in the plurality of sections 100 provided on the display screen. The control unit 70 controls to change both the display mode of the plurality of sections 100 and the plurality of image data 31 based on a viewer's instruction. Since it did in this way, the convenient display apparatus which can change a layout by simple operation can be provided.

(12) The display mode of the plurality of sections 100 changed by the control unit 70 is the number, shape, position, and size of the plurality of sections 100. Since it did in this way, the convenient display apparatus which can change a layout by simple operation can be provided.

(13) When the viewer's instruction is a selection instruction for one of a plurality of categories, the control unit 70 is different from the plurality of image data 31 being displayed in relation to the category that is the target of the selection instruction. Other image data 31 is displayed. Since it did in this way, the user-friendly display device in which more images of high interest of the viewer are automatically displayed can be provided.

(14) When displaying the other image data 31, the control unit 70 adds a new section 100 to the plurality of sections 100 and displays the other image data 31 in the new section 100. Since it did in this way, many images with a high viewer's interest can be used for browsing simultaneously.

(15) The viewer's instruction is a touch operation on the button 121 by the viewer. Since it did in this way, the convenient display apparatus which can change a layout by intuitive operation can be provided.

(Fourth embodiment)
The image reproduction system according to each of the embodiments described above handles image data 31 in which a still image is recorded. The image reproduction system according to the fourth embodiment can handle image data 31 in which a still image is recorded and image data 31 in which a moving image is recorded. Hereinafter, differences between the image reproduction system according to the fourth embodiment and the image reproduction system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the same location as 1st Embodiment, the code | symbol same as 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the image data 31 includes image data 31 in which a still image is recorded and image data 31 in which a moving image is recorded. Therefore, the image data 31 included in one electronic album data 32 includes still images and moving images. The control unit 70 appropriately classifies the section 100 into one for still image display and one for moving image reproduction. For example, half of the section 100 displayed on the screen is used for displaying a still image, and the rest is used for reproducing a moving image. Alternatively, the ratio of the still image in the image data 31 included in the electronic album is set as the ratio of the still image display section 100 included in the section 100.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a display screen 73i at the time of playing an electronic album. The difference from the display screen 73a illustrated in FIG. 5A is that the first section 100a and the fourth section 100d are moving section 100. The control unit 70 displays various GUI components for controlling the reproduction of the moving image on the screen, superimposed on the moving image section 100. For example, in FIG. 10, a seek bar 130 and a button 131 are displayed so as to overlap with the first section 100a and the fourth section 100d. The seek bar 130 is a GUI component for displaying and setting the playback position of a moving image. The button 131 is a GUI component that pauses or resumes playback of a moving image. By operating these GUI components, the viewer can set the playback position of the moving image, and can pause or restart the playback of the moving image.

  The control unit 70 assigns a plurality of image data 31 (moving images) belonging to a specific category to one moving image playback section 100. The control unit 70 sequentially reproduces a plurality of allocated image data 31 (moving images) in the section 100. That is, a plurality of image data 31 (moving images) is reproduced in a time division manner in one section 100. Since the category specifying method is the same as that of the still image described in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. A method of selecting the image data 31 (moving image) to be assigned to the section 100 from the plurality of image data 31 (moving image) belonging to the category is appropriately determined using an existing image determination technique such as subject extraction and hand shake magnitude. That's fine.

  Note that the moving image may be reproduced on the entire display screen instead of being reproduced in the section 100. In this case, the control unit 70 starts playback of the entire screen of the plurality of image data 31 assigned to the section 100 in response to the viewer inputting a playback instruction for the specific section 100.

  Further, when a moving image is reproduced in a time division manner within one section 100, the second and subsequent moving images may be reproduced with a size smaller than that of the section 100. For example, the first moving image is spread and reproduced throughout the section 100, and the second moving image is reproduced with a size that is slightly smaller than the section 100. At this time, the image of the last frame of the first moving image continues to be displayed around the second moving image. The third video is played back in a smaller size. In this way, it can be recognized at a glance that a plurality of moving images are assigned to the section 100.

  Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the viewer is interested in the image data 31 displayed in the section 100 by performing a touch operation on the section 100 for still images. Can be instructed to the control unit 70. That is, this touch operation is an instruction for selecting the image data 31 displayed in the section 100. When this touch operation is performed, the control unit 70 executes the same process as in the first embodiment. That is, according to this touch operation, a new section 100 is added to the display screen 73a as shown in FIG. In the new section 100, other image data 31 (related image data) related to the image data 31 that the viewer is interested in is displayed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5C, the image data 31 displayed in the existing section 100 is switched to the image data 31 of the same category as the image data 31 displayed in the section 100 where the touch operation is performed.

  A touch operation on the moving image section 100 will be described. The viewer can perform a pinch-in operation and a pinch-out operation as a kind of touch operation on the seek bar 130 displayed in the moving image section 100. The pinch-in operation is, for example, a touch operation that makes contact with the seek bar 130 with two fingers and narrows the distance between the two fingers while maintaining the contact state. The pinch-out operation is, for example, a touch operation that contacts the seek bar 130 with two fingers and widens the distance between the two fingers while maintaining the contact state.

  When the viewer performs a pinch-out operation on the seek bar 130 in a specific section 100, the control unit 70 increases the image data 31 (moving image) assigned to the section 100. For example, when a predetermined amount of pinch-out operation is performed on the seek bar 130 of the section 100 to which two image data 31 (moving picture) is assigned, two more image data 31 (moving picture) is added to the section 100. assign. As a result, a total of four image data 31 (moving images) are assigned to the section 100. The additionally assigned image data 31 (moving image) is other image data 31 (moving image) belonging to the same category as the image data 31 (moving image) already assigned to the section 100.

  The control unit 70 assigns the number of image data 31 (moving images) corresponding to the magnitude of the operation amount of the pinch-out operation. That is, when a pinch-out operation is performed largely, more image data 31 (moving image) is allocated.

  Note that the additionally assigned image data 31 (moving image) may be other image data 31 (moving image) belonging to a different category from the image data 31 (moving image) already assigned to the section 100. For example, it is assumed that image data A1 and A2 belonging to category A are assigned to a certain section 100, and other image data 31 belonging to category A does not exist in the electronic album data 32 being reproduced. In this case, other image data 31 belonging to category A cannot be additionally assigned to the section 100. In such a case, the control unit 70 may newly assign the image data 31 belonging to a category other than the category A to the section 100. In this case, it is desirable to assign image data 31 belonging to another category related to category A. For example, when the category A is “train”, it is desirable to assign image data 31 belonging to another category related to “train” such as “station”.

  When the viewer performs a pinch-in operation on the seek bar 130 in the specific section 100, the control unit 70 performs a process reverse to the above-described pinch-out operation. That is, the image data 31 (moving image) assigned to the section 100 is decreased.

  In addition, you may make it perform pinch out operation and pinch in operation with respect to the division 100 instead of the seek bar 130. FIG.

  The following modifications are also within the scope of the present invention, and one or a plurality of modifications can be combined with the above-described embodiment.

(Modification 1)
The method for determining the priority order of the image data 31 displayed on the section 100 may be different from the method described with reference to FIG. For example, the past browsing time and the browsing count for each image data 31 by the viewer may be recorded, and the priority order may be determined based on the browsing time and the browsing count. Moreover, you may determine by the browsing person's interest analysis by SNS etc.

  You may determine not only a priority but the size of the division 100 etc. based on the past browsing time and browsing frequency. For example, the size of the section 100 that displays the image data 31 that is often viewed may be larger than that of the other sections 100. Conversely, the size of the section 100 that displays the image data 31 that is often viewed may be smaller than the other sections 100.

  You may determine the reproduction | regeneration time of a moving image based on the above information. For example, the image data 31 (moving image) browsed for the first time by the viewer is reproduced for the entire period, but the image data 31 (moving image) that has been browsed several times already reproduces only a part (for example, an important portion). You may do it. Conversely, for the image data 31 (moving image) that is often browsed, the reproduction time may be longer than that of the other image data 31 (moving image).

According to the modified example described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(33) The control unit 70 changes both the display mode of the plurality of sections 100 and the plurality of image data 31 based on the history of the browsing time and the number of browsing times for each image data 31 browsed by the viewer in the past. . Since it did in this way, the display apparatus optimized for every viewer can be provided.

(Modification 2)
The priority order of the image data 31 displayed in the section 100 may be determined based on the editing history of the image data 31. For example, before transmitting the image data 31 to the server 3, the image data 31 can be processed and edited using so-called photo retouching software, moving image editing software, or the like. 3 to send. In this case, the control unit 70 may preferentially display the image data 31 having a larger number of processing edits.

According to the modified example described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(34) The control unit 70 preferentially selects the image data 31 having a larger number of editing operations performed in the past as the plurality of image data 31. Since it did in this way, a viewer can be made to browse preferentially the high quality image data 31 which the editor put more effort into processing editing.

(Modification 3)
In each embodiment described above, an example in which the mobile device 7 is operated by a touch operation using the touch panel 74 has been described. That is, all the instructions by the viewer are input to the control unit 70 by a touch operation using the touch panel 74. This may be replaced by an operation using another operation member (for example, a mechanical switch or the like).

  Moreover, it is also possible to replace it with a predetermined operation of the viewer detected by various sensors. For example, the viewer's line of sight can be detected by an imaging device, and the change in the line of sight can be used as an instruction by the viewer. As another example, the movement of a viewer's hand can be detected by an infrared sensor or the like, and a predetermined hand movement can be used as an instruction. It is also possible to detect a viewer's voice with a microphone and use a predetermined voice as an instruction.

According to the modified example described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(35) The viewer's instruction is a predetermined operation of the viewer detected by a predetermined sensor. Since it did in this way, the display apparatus which can be operated more intuitively can be provided.

(Modification 4)
In the fourth embodiment, the viewer's pinch-in operation and pinch-out operation increase or decrease the number of moving images assigned to one section 100. This may increase or decrease the playback time of the already allocated moving image. For example, the playback time of each moving image is limited to only 1 minute in advance. When the viewer performs a pinch-out operation on the seek bar 130 in a certain section 100, the time of 1 minute increases to 2 minutes or 3 minutes. When a pinch-out operation is performed, the time decreases to 50 seconds or 40 seconds. Further, instead of increasing or decreasing the playback time of all the moving images assigned to the section 100, only the playback time of the currently playing moving image may be increased or decreased.

(Modification 5)
In each embodiment mentioned above, although the portable apparatus 7 was a tablet terminal, this is good also as a terminal of another form. For example, a so-called smartphone may be used. When the portable device 7 is various terminals having different screen sizes, the number of the sections 100 can be changed according to the screen size.

(Modification 6)
The operation method and display method described above are examples, and different operation methods and display methods may be employed. For example, in the first embodiment, when specific image data 31 is touched, the section 100 is increased and related image data related to the image data 31 is displayed. Alternatively, a pinch-in operation or a pinch-out operation may be performed on specific image data 31. In this case, when a pinch-out operation is performed, the section 100 is increased and related image data related to the image data 31 is displayed. Conversely, when a pinch-in operation is performed, the number of sections 100 is reduced. In addition, as a modification of the operation method, the pinch-in operation and the pinch-out operation may be reversed, or the position of the indicator 111 may be reversed left and right.

(Modification 7)
The operation method and display method described above are examples, and different operation methods and display methods may be employed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the user touches the B1 image in the section where the A1 / B1 / C1 / D1 image is displayed, the A1 / B1 display image is not changed and the C1 image is displayed. The divided section is divided into two sections, the image B2 / B3 related to the image of B1 is displayed, the section where the image of D1 is displayed is divided into two sections, and the images of C1 and D1 are displayed. May be. Next, when the user operates the image of B1 (or the images of B2 and B3), an image related to B1 may be displayed.

(Modification 8)
The operation method and display method described above are merely examples, and different operation methods and front-office methods may be employed. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, in the section where the A1 / B1 / C1 / D1 image is displayed, the image desired by the user is fixed (locked), and the display area of the section where the other images are displayed It is possible to change the division and display image. The user is interested in the A1 / D1 image and fixes (locks) the images so as not to change the two images. The operation method for fixing (locking) an image may be distinguished by attaching a lock (key) mark by, for example, long-pressing the image, or attaching a lock (key) mark by an operation of double tapping. An image to which a lock (key) mark is attached by the user does not change even when a subsequent section or display image changes. When the user releases the lock (key) mark attached to the image, the display image can be changed or the image can be deleted by subsequent operations. When the image is fixed (locked) by the user, if the display screen section is six sections, the section that can be fixed (locked) is from one section to five sections, and the remaining one section that has not been fixed (locked) is the future. In other words, the section is divided, and a new image is assigned to the section.

  For example, when the user performs an operation of drawing a line in the middle of the section of the display image of A1, the section may be divided into two and an image related to A1 may be displayed in two new sections.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the display form has been described with respect to the mobile device. However, the display form is not limited to the mobile device. For example, any display device that can be touch-operated such as a tablet terminal, a camera body, or a television is applicable. Is done. Note that the touch operation has been described, but the operation is not limited to the touch operation as long as it is a selectable operation such as a mouse operation or button operation of a personal computer, an instruction operation by voice, or an instruction operation by line of sight.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the plurality of sections 100 cover the entire display screen. Alternatively, a gap may be provided between each section 100. That is, the plurality of sections 100 do not necessarily have to be spread over the entire display screen without any gaps. As another example of the display method, a display device that displays a stereoscopic image in the air as described in International Publication No. WO2013 / 073338 can be employed instead of the liquid crystal display 73.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the display screen is in a vertical position (as shown in FIG. 5, the position where the long side of the display screen is the vertical direction and the short side is the horizontal direction is the vertical position). Describes the case of viewing, but the display screen is in the horizontal position (unlike the vertical position, the position where the long side of the display screen is horizontal and the short side is vertical) There may be cases where the user browses. Even in the case where the user browses the display screen in the horizontal posture, the user's operation method and the image display method are not changed compared to the case where the user views the display screen in the vertical posture. However, in the case of browsing in the vertical posture and the horizontal posture of the display screen, the division of the display screen and the order of the images to be displayed may be different.

  Further, when images are sequentially displayed on the display screen, there may be a section where no image is displayed. A section where no image is displayed indicates that there is no related image, for example, or a blank section can be used as a memo field for a user to enter a comment.

  In addition, when the user finishes browsing, the section of the final display screen and the contents of the display image are saved in a memory (an internal memory of a mobile device or camera, an external recording medium such as an SD card, a recording space on a PC or cloud). May be saved, or the browsing function may be terminated without saving. In the form of saving as a file, both the image displayed on the final display screen and the final section may be stored, or only the image displayed on the final display screen or only the final section may be stored. Good. When the form of the final display screen is saved, the user can resume browsing by selecting the saved file from the memory. For example, when the user saves both the image displayed on the final display screen and the final section, the user can select the saved file to display a screen on which browsing has been completed. When the user saves only the last section, when the user selects the saved section division, the display screen is divided into the sections, and an arbitrary image is assigned and displayed. Further, when the user saves only the image displayed on the final display screen, when the user reads from the saved image file, the display screen is divided into sections suitable for the number of images, and the image is displayed. Alternatively, the stored images may be sequentially displayed one by one.

  In addition, when the user continues the browsing operation, the size of the section displayed on the display screen is gradually reduced, and it may be difficult to confirm the display image assigned to the section. In such a case, a restriction may be placed on the size of the section. The restriction on the size of the section (minimum section size) may be set by the user, or may be set in advance by the display device based on the size of the display screen. For example, when there is a locked image as in the above-described modification example 8, the display area where the display image and the section can be changed decreases, and thus the minimum section size is reached while the number of user operations is small. Conversely, the maximum size of the section may be a size that displays only one image on the display screen.

In addition, when an image that is not of interest to the user is displayed on the initial display screen, the user can also delete an image that is not of interest by an operation such as a slide operation.
When one of the display images is to be enlarged and displayed, it can be enlarged by the user's touch operation or slide operation. When the enlargement display is finished, the original screen before the enlargement operation (both the display image and the section) is displayed. Return.
In addition, when an operation to provide a partition in the section to be divided (for example, an operation to draw a line) is performed, it is possible to divide the section into such divided sections and display an image in each section It is.

  As long as the characteristics of the present invention are not impaired, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and other forms conceivable within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention are also included in the scope of the present invention. .
