It becomes. As a result, the information display time becomes long, and it becomes easy to confirm the information arranged on the back surface of the thumbnail image even if the rotation display is performed. In order to make the back surface most visible to the user, it is preferable to temporarily stop the rotation in a state in which the front surface of the thumbnail image is displayed just half a turn.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the dynamic data created so as to reduce the rotation speed related to the rotation display is used as the ratio of the display on the back of the thumbnail image increases, so that the user sees the back. It will be easier to check the information because it will take longer. Therefore, even if the thumbnail image is rotated and displayed, the user can view the information more easily.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, since the information is an advertisement, the back side of the thumbnail image can be used as a new advertisement space. In other words, since it is a user's selection target, a thumbnail image display portion that is initially highly attracted by the user is added with a movement of rotating the thumbnail image. Since it is in a sufficiently attracted state and the advertisement placed on the back side is displayed in such a state, the appeal of the advertisement to the user is high even in a short time until the thumbnail image is enlarged and displayed. . Therefore, in particular, in a website (web page) in which a thumbnail image can be used as a new advertisement space on a website where thumbnail images are arranged and an advertisement is shown to the user only when the user selects a thumbnail image. It can be used as a new advertisement display method.

Further, in the present invention, similarly to a display processing apparatus, a display processing method, and a computer program used as a server, information is arranged by rotating a thumbnail image when the thumbnail image is enlarged and displayed on an external terminal. Since the process of displaying the back side is performed, the user can be focused on the back side where the information is arranged when the thumbnail image is enlarged on the website, and the degree of appeal of the information to the user can be increased.
Furthermore, in the present invention, when the information to be arranged is separated from the dynamic data, the information to be arranged on the back surface of the thumbnail image can be easily changed.

In the present invention, since the rotation display is performed a plurality of times, the user can confirm the information arranged on the back surface a plurality of times, and the appeal degree of the information can be increased.
Furthermore, in the present invention, since the user can see different information every time the back side is displayed, a plurality of types of information can be presented to the user, and a flip-flop information display form can also be realized. .

In the present invention, since the rotation is temporarily stopped in a state where the back surface of the thumbnail image is displayed, the back surface can be shown to the user as long as possible.
Furthermore, in the present invention, as the display ratio of the back surface of the thumbnail image increases, the rotation speed related to the rotation display is reduced, so that the user can easily see the information even if the rotation display is performed. .
Furthermore, in the present invention, since the information to be displayed is an advertisement, the back side of the thumbnail image, which is a display part with a high degree of user attention, can be used as a new advertisement space.

Eventually, as shown in FIG. 6C, the thumbnail image 30 is rotated 180 degrees from the state of FIG. 5A and is completely turned over, so that the advertisement 30e looks good.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the subpage data 23 stored in the hard disk device 15 corresponds to the background portion 27 a of the subweb page 27 that is newly opened on the web page 25 after the dynamic data 22 is displayed. This sub-web page 27 includes a sentence 27b corresponding to a news article. Further, the enlarged image data 24 stored in the hard disk device 15 is data corresponding to the enlarged image 27 c of the image portion 30 c of the thumbnail image 30 arranged in the background portion 27 a of the sub web page 27. The subpage data 23 and the enlarged image data 24 also exist for each thumbnail image 30 to 41 and are associated with the identification code of each thumbnail image 30 to 41.

  On the other hand, the display processing program 17 stored in the hard disk device 15 in FIG. 3 defines the processing contents performed by the CPU 11 to appropriately display each of the data 20 to 24 described above on the accessed external terminal. The processing contents will be described.

  When the display processing program 17 receives an access from the outside through the communication interface 12, the web page 25 in which a plurality of thumbnail images 30 to 41 are arranged as shown in FIG. It defines the processing contents for reading the page data 20 corresponding to the web page 25 and the thumbnail image data 21 corresponding to the thumbnail image to be arranged from the hard disk device 15 and transmitting them from the communication interface 12 to the access source. When the thumbnail images 30 to 41 are displayed, the thumbnail images 30 to 41 can be selected. When the thumbnail images 30 to 41 are selected by the external terminal, a selection signal including an identification code representing the selected thumbnail images 30 to 41 is returned. Yes.

  Further, when the display processing program 17 receives a selection signal from the outside, the display processing program 17 refers to the identification code included in the selection signal, and transmits the processing contents for transmitting the dynamic data 22 associated with the identification code to the access source. It stipulates. When the dynamic data 22 is transmitted, the dynamic data 22 is arranged at the selected thumbnail images 30 to 41, and the contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are reproduced and displayed according to the display processing program on the external terminal side. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6C, when playback is performed up to a completely reversed state, a command for returning a playback completion signal is attached to the dynamic data 22.

  Further, when the display processing program 17 receives the reproduction completion signal from the outside, the display processing program 17 reads out the subpage data 23 and the enlarged image data 24 associated with the identification code included in the selection signal received first from the hard disk device 15 and accesses the access source. The processing contents to be sent to are defined. When the sub page data 23 and the enlarged image data 24 are transmitted, the sub web page 27 on which the enlarged image 27c is arranged is displayed so as to cover the web page 25 as shown in FIG. When the display of the sub web page 27 is closed, the web page 25 is displayed again. Therefore, when any one of the thumbnail images 30 to 41 is selected again in this state, the display processing program 17 is selected. The same processing as described above is performed on the thumbnail images 30 to 41.

  The first flowchart of FIG. 9 shows the processing procedure of the display processing method related to the rotation display of thumbnail images when the terminal device 2 (corresponding to an external terminal) accesses the server device 10 in the network system 1 of FIG. It is. The overall processing procedure will be organized and described below according to the first flowchart.

  First, the terminal device 2 accesses a website established by the server device 10 via the network NW (S1). Then, the server device 10 transmits data corresponding to the web page (page data 20 and thumbnail image data 21) to the terminal device 2 (S2), and the terminal device 2 displays a plurality of thumbnail images 30 to 41 shown in FIG. The arranged web page 25 is displayed on the screen 4a of the monitor 4 (S3). In this state, the terminal device 2 determines whether or not a thumbnail image has been selected (S4). If no thumbnail image is selected (S4: NO), the terminal device 2 waits for selection of a thumbnail image.

  On the other hand, when the thumbnail image is selected by the operation of the keyboard 5 or the mouse 6 (S4: YES), the terminal device 2 transmits a selection signal including the identification code of the selected thumbnail image to the server device 10 (S5). . When receiving the selection signal, the server device 10 transmits the dynamic data 22 associated with the identification code included in the selection signal to the terminal device 2 (S6). Upon receiving the dynamic data 22, the terminal device 2 displays the contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 at the selected thumbnail image, rotates the thumbnail image, and finally selects as shown in FIG. After the web page 25 having only the thumbnail image 30 arranged on the back side is displayed on the screen 4a of the monitor 4 on the terminal side (S7), a reproduction completion signal is transmitted to the server device 10 (S8).

  Upon receiving the reproduction completion signal, the server device 10 transmits data (subpage data 23 and enlarged image data 24) corresponding to the enlarged display of the selected thumbnail image to the terminal device 2 (S9). The terminal device 2 performs processing for displaying the transmitted data, and displays the sub web page 27 including the enlarged image 27c on the screen 4a of the monitor 4 as shown in FIG. 8 (S10). As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the advertisement in which the selected thumbnail image is rotated and arranged on the back side of the thumbnail image after the thumbnail images 30 to 41 are selected until the enlarged image 27c is displayed. Can be used as an advertisement placement space. Moreover, because the advertisement is displayed with the user's line of sight attracted by the movement of the thumbnail image at the part that the user is gazing at by the selection operation, the advertisement content naturally enters the user's eyes, and the advertisement is simply Compared with the case of displaying, the degree of appeal of the advertisement can be greatly improved.

  The first embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above, and various modifications can be applied. For example, in order to lengthen the time for showing the advertisement, it is preferable to temporarily stop the rotation while the thumbnail image 30 is completely turned over to show the back surface 30d as shown in FIG. In order to temporarily stop the rotation as described above, the data itself of the dynamic data 22 may include contents for stopping the rotation while rotating to the back surface 30d in advance, or as illustrated in FIG. It is conceivable that the control content for temporarily stopping the display processing in the state is included in the display reproduction program 8c on the terminal device 2 side.

  Further, as another method for making the advertisement appear longer, it is conceivable to change the rotation speed of the thumbnail image. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the initial state where the surface of the thumbnail image is displayed (the state shown in FIG. 5A) is set to a rotation angle of 0 degrees, and the rotation angle in a state of being completely turned over is set to 180 degrees. (The state shown in FIG. 6C), as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the rotational speed in the angle range (0 to 90 degrees) in which the surface 30a of the thumbnail image 30 is displayed is the speed. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the rotational speed is gradually decreased from the speed A in the angle range (90 degrees to 180 degrees) in which the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 30 appears. Good. By doing in this way, since the rotational speed is reduced as the area ratio displayed on the back surface increases, the advertisement 30e becomes easier to see. In the graph of FIG. 10A, the rotational speed is linearly reduced, but it may be decelerated in a quadratic curve (convex upward or convex downward), and the rotational angle is 180 degrees. At this time, the rotational speed may be reduced to “0”.

  In order to decelerate the rotational speed in this way, the data itself corresponding to FIGS. 6A to 6C in the dynamic data 22 may be created so that the rotational speed decelerates, or another deceleration As for how to do this, when the display processing of the state shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C is performed on the terminal device 2 side, the contents of control for performing the reproduction processing so that the rotation speed is reduced are displayed in the display reproduction program 8c. It can be included.

  Furthermore, as a method for showing many advertisements, it is possible to rotate the thumbnail image a plurality of times so that the back surface of the thumbnail image is displayed a plurality of times. In order to rotate a plurality of times, the contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are added to the contents shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C in the reverse direction and the contents shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C in the reverse direction. As a single rotation, a combination of a plurality of contents for one rotation and the contents for the last half rotation (contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 6) is used as dynamic data of the modified example. When the dynamic data of this modification is reproduced and displayed on the terminal device 2, the advertisement is displayed a plurality of times before being enlarged and displayed, so that the degree of appeal of the advertisement can be further increased. In addition, as another method for performing the display that is rotated a plurality of times, the content of the dynamic data is changed so that the thumbnail image is rotated once, and the terminal device 2 performs a process of displaying and reproducing the received dynamic data a plurality of times. It is possible to do it.

  In addition, when the back surface is displayed a plurality of times, the rotation is temporarily stopped while the back surface is displayed as described above, and as the area ratio of the back surface is increased as shown in the graph of FIG. It is also possible to combine the reduction of the speed (including the case where the rotation angle is 180 degrees, 540 degrees, etc., and becomes “0”). Furthermore, in the case where the back surface is displayed a plurality of times, the contents of the dynamic data 22 may be different advertisements for each back surface to be displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, an advertisement 30e called “ABC Camera Company” is arranged on the back surface 30d displayed for the first time, and an advertisement called “XYZ film” is displayed on the back surface 30d displayed for the second time. If arranged, different types of advertisements can be shown to the user.

  In addition, in the dynamic data shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the advertisement 30e arranged on the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 30 is a figure (including a pattern and a logo) such as a symbol, a number, and an illustration in addition to characters. Images, moving images, etc. can also be arranged. In particular, when the back surface is displayed a plurality of times and images whose shapes, patterns, etc. change little by little are sequentially arranged, flip-side comics can be displayed by sequentially showing the back surface by rotation. The information to be arranged on the back surface 30d includes other types of information other than advertisements, for example, copyright information indicating the author of the thumbnail image, shooting date and time, and properties related to the thumbnail image data (file name, data capacity, data creation) Day, storage folder) or the like.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the server device 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Similarly to the first embodiment, the server device 50 according to the second embodiment is connected to the network NW as shown in FIG. 1 to display thumbnail images on an external terminal (for example, the terminal device 2), and thumbnail images in a rotating state. , And a process of displaying a web page corresponding to the enlarged image of the thumbnail image. In the second embodiment, when displaying a thumbnail image in a rotating state, instead of including an advertisement in the dynamic data, an advertisement (information) formed from another data is displayed after displaying the back side of the thumbnail image. It is characterized by performing processing to be arranged on the back surface. In the following description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used partially as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the data stored in the hard disk device 55 of the server device 50 includes advertisement data 63 in addition to the dynamic data 62. The contents of the dynamic data 62 are basically the same as in the first embodiment, but no advertisement is placed on the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 30 as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) to 12 (c). Differences include the fact that link data for placement representing the location where the advertisement 30d, which is another data, is placed, and the addition of command data that returns a placement completion signal when the advertisement 30e is placed. . The dynamic data 62 is the same as the state shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C of the first embodiment with respect to the contents from the state in which the front surface 30a of the thumbnail image 30 is shown until the back surface 30d is seen. Yes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12D, the advertisement data 63 is data corresponding to advertisement contents that can be arranged on the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 30, and the advertisement (ABC Camera Company) 30e is displayed by performing display processing. Is displayed. There are many types of advertisement data 63, and each advertisement to be displayed by the processing of the display processing program 57 is appropriately selected.

  The processing contents of the display processing program 57 stored in the hard disk device 55 are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, except that there is a process for selecting the type of the advertisement data 63, and the dynamics. For example, the advertisement data 63 may be transmitted in response to the reception of the reproduction completion signal while the data 62, the thumb page data 64, and the enlarged image data 65 are transmitted.

  FIG. 13 shows the contents of the advertisement placement menu 66 used when managing the server device 50. The advertisement arrangement menu 66 is for the administrator of the server device 50, and displays a plurality of advertisement data displayed (displayed) on a monitor (not shown) connected to the server device 50 and registered (stored) in the hard disk device 55. The content is set to which of a plurality of thumbnail images registered (stored) in the hard disk device 55 is assigned.

  For example, when n pieces of advertisement data and N pieces of thumbnail images are registered in the hard disk device 55 (n and N are natural numbers), the advertisement arrangement menu 66 sets the first advertisement data as “first to Nth thumbnail images”. “Any”, “All thumbnail images”, and “No arrangement” can be selected, and thereafter, the thumbnail images to be arranged can be selected up to the nth advertisement data. However, in the advertisement arrangement menu 66, the previously selected thumbnail image cannot be selected redundantly in different advertisement data. For example, the first thumbnail image is selected for the first advertisement data. In this case, when the second advertisement data is selected, the first thumbnail image is excluded from the selection targets, thereby preventing duplicate selection. In addition, when displaying thumbnail images 30 to 41 as shown in FIG. 4, 12th thumbnail images are required from 12 first thumbnail images, and furthermore, different advertisements are arranged on the respective thumbnail images 30 to 41. Requires 12 pieces of advertisement data.

  Except as described above, the system program 56 and data stored in the hard disk device 55 of the server device 50 according to the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the configuration of the CPU 51, communication interface 52, RAM 52, ROM 54, etc. Since functions and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. An external terminal (terminal device) connected to the server device 50 via a network is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  The 2nd flowchart shown in FIG. 14 shows the display processing method relevant to the server apparatus 50 of 2nd Embodiment, and represents the process after the terminal device 2 transmitted the selection signal. In addition, the process before transmitting a selection signal is the same as that of the 1st flowchart (S1-S4) of FIG. The processing procedure will be described based on the second flowchart. When the terminal device 2 transmits a selection signal (S20), the server device 50 transmits the dynamic data 62 associated with the identification code included in the selection signal to the terminal device 2. (S21). When the terminal device 2 receives the dynamic data 62, the terminal device 2 displays the contents shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 12A to 12C at the location of the selected thumbnail image, and displays the thumbnail. The image is rotated to display the back side (S22), and then a reproduction completion signal is transmitted to the server device 10 (S23).

  When the server device 50 receives the reproduction completion signal, the server device 50 corresponds to the thumbnail image (one of the first thumbnail image to the Nth thumbnail image) related to the selection in accordance with the contents preset in the advertisement arrangement menu 66 shown in FIG. The advertisement data (any one of the first advertisement data to the nth advertisement data) is specified, and the specified advertisement data 63 is transmitted to the terminal device 2 (S24). When the terminal device 2 receives the advertisement data 63, the advertisement 30e is arranged and displayed at a location where the link on the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 70 is defined as shown in FIG. 12D (S25). In this state, a web page 25 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the monitor 4 of the terminal device 2. Thereafter, the terminal device 2 transmits an arrangement completion signal to the server device 50 (S26).

  Upon receiving the arrangement completion signal, the server device 50 transmits data (subpage data 64 and enlarged image data 65) corresponding to the enlarged display of the selected thumbnail image to the terminal device 2 (S27). The terminal device 2 performs a process of displaying the transmitted data, and displays the subweb page 27 including the enlarged image as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 8) (S10). As described above, in the second embodiment, since the content of the advertisement displayed in the advertisement arrangement menu 66 of FIG. 13 can be freely set, the advertisement can be changed as needed, and the burden of creating the dynamic data 63 for each advertisement is imposed. Reduced.

  In the second embodiment, there are various modifications. For example, in the second flowchart in FIG. 14, when transmitting the dynamic data, the server device 50 transmits the advertisement data together with the terminal. The advertisement data may be temporarily stored on the device 2 side, and after the reproduction of the dynamic data is completed, the advertisement placement process may be performed using the temporarily stored advertisement data (this modified example) In this case, transmission of the reproduction completion signal can be omitted).

  Also in the second embodiment, various modifications described in the first embodiment can be applied. In particular, it is preferable to temporarily stop the rotation in a state where the back surface 30d of the thumbnail image 30 shown in FIG. 12C is displayed because it takes a long time to arrange and display the advertisement 30d. Further, when the thumbnail image 30 is rotated a plurality of times and the advertisement to be arranged is changed every time the back surface is displayed, it is preferable to use a modified advertisement arrangement menu 67 as shown in FIG. That is, the advertisement placement menu 67 of the modified example corresponds to the case where the back surface is displayed twice in total, and the advertisement data to be placed when the back surface is displayed for the first time for each of the first to Nth thumbnail images. There are provided first selection columns 671a to 671n to be selected and second selection columns 672a to 672n for selecting advertisement data to be arranged when the back surface is displayed for the second time. By setting the selection of (1st to nth advertisement data), different advertisements can be arranged each time the back surface is displayed.

  In order to display a different advertisement each time the back surface is displayed, the server device 50 transmits data for a plurality of times when the dynamic data 63 is transmitted to the terminal device 2, and the terminal device 2 receives the data. A plurality of times of dynamic data 63 is temporarily stored in the RAM 3b, and processing is performed by reading and arranging advertisement data corresponding to the advertisement set for each display on the back surface. Moreover, when it corresponds to the age group of the user who browses changing for every time slot | zone, it is also possible to change the specification of the advertisement arrangement menus 66 and 67 so that the advertisement data arranged for every time slot | zone can be set. is there.

  FIG. 16A shows a display processing device 80 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The display processing device 80 of the third embodiment is a small portable information processing device such as a PDA, and is not a case where it is connected to a network and displays the contents of a website as in the first embodiment, but is a stand-alone device. When a plurality of thumbnail images 90 to 98 are displayed so as to be selectable on the display unit 82 provided in the apparatus casing 81, when any one of them is selected, it is selected until the enlarged image is displayed. It is characterized in that the thumbnail image displayed is rotated.

  FIG. 17 shows the main internal configuration of the display processing device 80 of the third embodiment. The display processing device 80 includes a CPU 80a, a RAM 80b for temporarily storing data, folders, and the like, a ROM 80c for storing programs that define basic processing contents, a display unit 82, up / down / left / right keys, a determination key, and the like. 83 and the internal storage medium 80d are connected by an internal bus 80f. The operation unit 83 functions as a unit that accepts various operations from the user, and accepts a thumbnail image selection operation in the thumbnail image display state.

  The built-in storage medium 80d can be applied to a semiconductor memory, a hard disk device or the like, and corresponds to means (storage means) for storing the OS program 84, the display processing program 85, various data 86 to 88, and the like. Further, in the data stored in the internal storage medium 80d, as shown in FIG. 16A, thumbnail image data 86 representing a plurality of thumbnail images 90 to 98 and information (advertisement) are arranged by turning over the thumbnail images. Dynamic data 87, which is data representing the rotation of the thumbnail image so that the back side is displayed, enlarged display data 88 representing the enlarged content of the thumbnail image, and the like are stored. The thumbnail image data 88a, the dynamic data 88b, and the enlarged display data 88c include data corresponding to the number of thumbnail images.

  The thumbnail image data 86, dynamic data 87, and enlarged display data 88 have substantially the same specifications as in the first embodiment. In particular, as shown in FIG. 16B, the dynamic data 86 is obtained from the state in which the thumbnail image 92 displays the surface 92a, with the virtual rotation axis 92b as the rotation center, as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 16B, the thumbnail image 92 is turned upside down until the back surface 92d on which the advertisement 92e “XYZ film” is arranged is displayed. It has become.

  The display processing program 85 stored in the built-in storage medium 85 defines the processing contents performed by the CPU 80a for thumbnail image display, and in detail, various contents depending on the operation contents received from the user by the operation unit 83. Is stipulated. For example, when the display processing program 85 receives an instruction to display a thumbnail with the operation unit 83, the display processing program 85 reads the thumbnail image data 86 from the internal storage medium 85, and displays a plurality of thumbnail images 90 to 98 as shown in FIG. A process to be displayed on the display unit 82 is defined. Further, when any one thumbnail image is selected by the operation of the operation unit 83 in the display state of the thumbnail images 90 to 98, the corresponding dynamic data is referred to with reference to the identification code related to the selected thumbnail image. The display processing program 85 stipulates that 87 is read and playback processing is performed in which the thumbnail image is rotated at the location of the selected thumbnail image. Further, the display processing program 85 defines a process of reading the enlarged image data 88c corresponding to the selected thumbnail image and displaying the enlarged image on the display unit 82 when the reproduction process is completed.

  FIG. 18 is a third flowchart showing a procedure of processing contents (display processing method) performed by the display processing device 80 of the third embodiment described above for displaying thumbnail images. The contents of the display processing method performed by the display processing device 80 will be described below according to the third flowchart.

  First, the display processing device 80 performs a process of displaying a plurality of thumbnail images 90 to 98 as shown in FIG. 16A in accordance with a thumbnail image display instruction from the user (S30). In this state, the display processing device 80 (CPU 80a) determines whether or not the thumbnail image selection from the user has been received by the operation unit 83 (S31). If no thumbnail image is selected (S31: NO), the selection is made. Waiting.

  On the other hand, when the thumbnail image is selected (S31: YES), the dynamic data 87 is reproduced according to the selected thumbnail image, and the thumbnail is displayed as shown in FIGS. 16 (b) to 16 (c). The image 92 is rotated to display the back side on which the advertisement 92 is arranged (S32), and then the enlarged image data 88 is read and the enlarged image of the thumbnail image 92 is displayed on the display unit 82 (S33). In this way, even when displaying thumbnail images stored internally, the thumbnail image is rotated and displayed on the back side where the advertisement is placed until it is enlarged, so that the advertisement can be shown to the user impressively. Is possible.

  Also in the third embodiment, the various modifications described in the first embodiment can be applied. In particular, in the third embodiment, since the display processing device 80 performs processing independently in a stand-alone environment, the process of temporarily stopping the rotation with the back surface 92d shown in FIG. Since the process of decelerating as the ratio increases is easily controlled by the contents of the display processing program 85, various display forms can be easily realized other than the creation of the dynamic data 87. Furthermore, when rotating a plurality of times, the contents of the dynamic data 87 are set so that the thumbnail image is rotated once, and the display processing program 85 continuously reproduces the dynamic data 87 a plurality of times. it can. Of course, as with the first embodiment, it is possible to respond to the temporary stop of rotation, deceleration of rotation, and rotation of a plurality of times by creating the contents of the dynamic data itself.

  FIG. 19 is a block diagram showing the main internal configuration of the display processing apparatus 90 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the third embodiment, the display processing device 90 of the fourth embodiment performs rotation display of thumbnail images when used in a stand-alone manner, and performs processing for advertisements (information) arranged on the back surface displayed by rotation. The method is the same as in the second embodiment described above. Therefore, the basic hardware configuration of the display processing device 90 is the same as that of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 17, and the CPU 90a, RAM 90b, ROM 90c, display unit 92, operation unit 93, and built-in storage medium 90d are connected to the internal bus. The OS program 94, display processing program 95, thumbnail image data 96, dynamic data 97, advertisement data 98, and enlarged image data 99 are stored in the internal storage medium 90d.

  In the fourth embodiment, since the process of arranging advertisements is performed in the same manner as in the second embodiment, the dynamic data 97 and the advertisement data 98 have the same specifications as in the second embodiment. The display processing program 95 also stipulates a content that is partly different from that of the third embodiment. When the playback / display processing of the dynamic data 97 is completed and the back side of the thumbnail image is displayed, the back side of the thumbnail image corresponds to the advertisement data 98. The processing for arranging the advertisement and displaying the enlarged image of the thumbnail image corresponding to the enlarged image data 99 on the display unit 92 is defined.

  FIG. 20 is a fourth flowchart defining the processing content (display processing method) of the fourth embodiment, and the basic flow is the same as the third flowchart of FIG. That is, the display processing device 90 performs processing for displaying a plurality of thumbnail images in accordance with a thumbnail image display instruction from the user (S40), and determines whether or not the selection of thumbnail images from the user has been accepted by the operation unit 93 ( S41) When a thumbnail image is not selected (S41: NO), the selection waits. When it is selected (S41: YES), the reproduction process of the dynamic data 97 corresponding to the selected thumbnail image is performed. The thumbnail image is rotated to display the back side (S42). Then, the display processing device 90 reads out the advertisement data 98, arranges the advertisement on the back side of the thumbnail image (S43), reads out the enlarged image data 99, and displays the enlarged image (S44).

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the advertisement data 98 is prepared separately from the dynamic data 97 and the process related to the advertisement display is performed. Therefore, the advertisement to be displayed can be easily replaced. In the fourth embodiment, the various modifications described in the first embodiment can be applied, and the control contents related to the temporary stop of rotation and the deceleration of rotation described in the third embodiment are displayed. It is also possible to execute based on the prescribed content of 95. Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment, it is possible to easily set an advertisement to be arranged on the back side of the thumbnail image by using the advertisement arrangement menu 66 of FIG. 13 and the advertisement arrangement menu 67 of FIG. 15 shown in the second embodiment. Also good.

  When displaying thumbnail images in an enlarged manner, the thumbnail image is rotated to display the back side, and information such as advertisements is placed and displayed on the back side, so it is possible to provide a new information arrangement space with high user attention In addition, such a display form can be applied to both a display processing device used in a network environment and a stand-alone display processing device.
