Abstract: An image display device includes: a storage means for storing a plurality of items of image data; a first classifying means for classifying the plurality of the items of image data in a first predetermined unit; a second classifying means for breaking the plurality of the items of image data classified by the first classifying means into smaller groups in a second predetermined unit; a display control means for controlling display in such a way that images are displayed in the second predetermined unit based on the image data broken into smaller groups by the second classifying means; and a display means for performing a predetermined display based on the control performed by the display control means.

Abstract: An image grouping device which may comprise a first classifying unit for classifying a plurality of items of image data in a first predetermined unit, a second classifying unit for breaking the plurality of the items of image data classified by the first classifying unit into smaller groups in a second predetermined unit, and a control unit for controlling the plurality of the items of image data classified by the second classifying unit to be displayed on a display. The control unit may automatically select a background image according to background music during a slide show.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus and method as well as a providing medium which allow thumbnail images to be displayed in an arbitrary size designated by a user thereby to allow efficient management of image data. A setting inputting section detects and outputs parameters set by a user to an arithmetic section. The arithmetic section calculates one of a horizontal number or a vertical number of thumbnail images to be displayed at a time in an image display region and outputs the calculated number to a decision section. The decision section rounds the value inputted from the arithmetic section into an integer based on a predetermined criterion to obtain an integral value. The decision section further determines a width and a height for a thumbnail image using the integral value and outputs the values to a display control section.
