Abstract: An information processing apparatus may control display of a GUI image including indexes that allow a user to select the entirety or part of an image content piece. The information processing apparatus may include a controller configured to control display of a first GUI image including an index of each of at least one image content piece, and to control a display of a second GUI image including face thumbnail images, which serve as indexes that allow the user to select the entirety or part of an image content piece corresponding to an index selected from the first GUI image by the user, the face thumbnail images corresponding to faces detected from the entirety or part of the image content piece.

Abstract: Update processing and the like of an index file relating to change of a hierarchical structure is performed. The index file is recorded in a recording medium with content files. The index file is generated based on attribute information of content files and folders including the content files. Content files and folders form a hierarchical structure in which the folders are in an upper hierarchy. In the index file, a prescribed number of entries (management information areas) corresponding to content files and folders, respectively, are provided. Second index information indicating second entries corresponding to folders or content files positioned in a lower hierarchy of folders in the upper hierarchy is provided at first entries corresponding to folders in the upper hierarchy in a list format. First index information indicating the first entries is provided at the second entries.

Abstract: To search image information regarding image data, recorded on a storage medium, based on a desired search condition and to perform efficient display. An attribute-information obtaining section 221 obtains attributes. For respective chapters, the attributes are held by an attribute file 500. A condition searching section 223 searches the attributes for the respective chapters in accordance with a condition input from a condition inputting section 222. A thumbnail obtaining section 224 obtains thumbnails that match the search condition. An index displaying section 226 displays the obtained thumbnails. When a thumbnail is selected via an image selecting section 227, an image reproducing section 228 reproduces image data in accordance with link information extracted by a link-information extracting section 225.
