Patent number: 8456686Abstract: According to this invention, the date range can be intuitively designated by designating up, down, left, and right directions, and images stored in a storage medium can be easily restricted to images which may be subjected to printing. In order to restrict images stored in a memory card on the basis of the date, a region for inputting the start date of the date range is displayed at the upper portion of a display window on a display device, and a region for inputting the end date is displayed at the lower portion. One of the regions is designated and selected with up and down direction keys. A date in the selected region is changed with left and right direction keys. Images having storage dates between the start date and the end date are decided as printing target candidates.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Hibi, Tetsuya Kawanabe, Nobuyuki Tsukada, Tatsuya Fukuda, Tomoaki Suga
