Abstract: A decoding execution unit decodes image data encoded with a resolution higher than that of a display device. A display buffer stores image data decoded by the decoding execution unit. A standby buffer stores image data decoded by the decoding execution unit while the image data stored in the display buffer is being displayed. A reduced image buffer stores image data produced by reducing the entirety of the image data. An image display control unit switches from the image data stored in the display buffer to the image data stored in the standby buffer if the decoding of the image data by the decoding execution unit is completed, and enlarges the image in the reduced image buffer and stores the enlarged image in the display buffer if the decoding of the image data by the decoding execution unit is not completed.

Abstract: A number-of-pixel acquisition unit acquires the number of pixels of the image data stored in a storage device. An aspect ratio acquisition unit acquires the aspect ratio of the image data. A display control unit displays a list of a plurality of thumbnail images of the image data on a display device. Herein, the display control unit displays a thumbnail of image data having more pixels as a larger thumbnail than that of image data having less pixels, while keeping the aspect ratio of the image data.

Abstract: In an image display apparatus, an image classification unit generates one or more of image groups by classifying image data to which attribution information is added based on the attribute information. A display control unit displays, on a display device, a list of a plurality of thumbnail images of the image data included in each of the image groups generated by the image classification unit, in a manner in which the plurality of thumbnail images are piled up for every image group. Herein, the display control unit acquires the predetermined number of sheets of image data from the selected image group to display, on the display device, the image data as a background image in which the image data are arranged.

Abstract: A database stores a plurality of image data to which the shooting date is attached. A list displaying unit displays on a display device a list of thumbnail images of the image data. An instruction receiving unit acquires a thumbnail image as a specified image. An image classifying unit generates one or a plurality of groups of images by classifying the plurality of image data in terms of the year when the image data were shot. A representative image selector acquires, as a representative image of each image group, image data having a shooting month-day identical to or close to the shooting month-day of the image data corresponding to the specified image from each image group. The list displaying unit displays a list of the each image group for each year and displays the representative image placed at the head of each image group.
