    Patent number: 7437681
    Abstract: Date and time information concerning image files included in the folder is obtained, a time range from the oldest image to the newest image is calculated, and the time range is displayed with folder information. For example, data on shot dates and times recorded as associated information concerning the images or time stamps of the files are used to calculate the time range, and the date range is displayed on a folder icon or on a tab portion of the folder icon. Moreover, a file list displayed last time is stored, the stored file list is compared with a current file list, and only if the both file lists are different from each other, the date and time information is obtained for a different file to recalculate the time range. Thus, the user can infer images included in the folder to some extent and easily retrieve a desired image.

  • Image processing device and image processing program
    Publication number: 20080007783
    Abstract: When an image processing program runs on a PC to produce a layout image in which plural selected images are inserted separately into image display frames, a CPU functions as a browser controller, a face image counter, an average number calculator, a pattern selector, a table, and an image layout section. The face image counter counts face images in each selected image. The average number calculator calculates an average number of the face images in a single selected image. Plural layout patterns of the image display frames are established in the table, which also defines the number of the image display frames and a threshold number of the face images for each layout pattern. Comparing the average number with the threshold number, the pattern selector selects the layout pattern. The image layout section inserts the selected images into the image display frames in the selected layout pattern.

  • Image recording method and device, and image converting method and device
    Patent number: 7298764
    Abstract: An MPEG compression circuit records attached information (referred to as FF_PCK) at the initial address of a VOBU in which NV_PCK is to be recorded. NV_PCK is playback auxiliary information and is referred to when playing back moving images in DVD-Video format. Attached information (FF_PCK) has a data size equal to or larger than NV_PCK. FF_PCK is replaced by NV_PCK when converting MPEG2 data into DVD-Video data. As a result, it is not necessary to demultiplex and remultiplex moving image data and sound data so that data can be converted efficiently.

  • Apparatus, method, and program for controlling moving images
    Publication number: 20070200936
    Abstract: In order to enable playback of a moving image in a variable manner according to desired weight, a desired threshold value of weight is obtained for a moving image regarding which a distribution of the weight at each point on a time axis has been generated. A time range extraction unit extracts all time ranges as high weight ranges wherein the weight is equal to or higher than the threshold value in the distribution. A representative image generation unit generates representative images that respectively represent the moving image in all the extracted time ranges. A display control unit displays a catalog of the representative images so as to enable playback of the moving image from the time range corresponding to a desired one of the representative images through selection of the desired representative image.

  • Image reproduction apparatus and image reproduction program
    Publication number: 20070089061
    Abstract: In an image reproduction window, an image reproduction area in which images are reproduced, and an operating area in which a slide bar is displayed are provided. When a slider of the slide bar is moved, the number of images to be displayed in one frame in the image reproduction area is increased or decreased in accordance with a position of the slider. The number of images in one frame increases as a displacement amount of the slider increases. When the slider is moved within a range in which the number of images to be displayed in one frame does not change, only a frame change interval is changed while the number of images in one frame is unchanged.
