  • Patent number: 8442975
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a designator which designates each of one or more characteristic images included in a scene image as a reference characteristic image. A searcher searches for a specific folder in which a dictionary image adapted to the reference characteristic image is associated with, from among one or more folders in which one or more dictionary images are respectively associated with. A first storage stores the scene image noticed by the designator into the specific folder discovered by the searcher. A first creator creates a folder in which a dictionary image equivalent to the reference characteristic image is associated with, corresponding to non-discovering the specific folder by the searcher. A second storage executes a process of storing the scene image noticed by the designator into the folder created by the first creator, in association with a creating process of the first creator.

  • Patent number: 8305461
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information display device including an imaging unit that executes an imaging process to image a subject to output an imaging signal; a monitor capable of displaying an image of the subject based on the imaging signal; a switching part located near the monitor; a first display controller for displaying, in a menu on the monitor, each of a first group of items consisting of a plurality of items associated with the imaging process, whereby first setting data can be set; and a second display controller for displaying, in a menu on the monitor, each of a second group of items associated with a plurality of particular items in the first group and having fewer items than the first group, whereby second setting data can be set, wherein switching between the first and second display controllers is performed by operating the switching part.

  • Patent number: 7136103
    Abstract: A digital camera includes a reference value table and a setting change-use table. The reference value table holds a plurality of reference values which respectively corresponds to a plurality of representative colors, and the setting change-use table holds a plurality of target values which respectively corresponds to a plurality of representative colors. Image data of a photographed object is applied to a signal processing circuit, and subjected to a color adjustment based on the reference value held by the reference value table and the target value held by the setting change-use table. An image based on the image data to which the color adjustment is subjected is displayed on a monitor in real-time. When a dial key is operated, the target value of a desired representative color held on the setting change-use table is changed. Therefore, a color tone of a real-time image displayed on the monitor also changes in response to an operation of the dial key.
