  • Patent number: 8787981
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an operation unit, a storage unit and a control unit. The operation unit selects a selected image. The storage unit stores selected data and peripheral data. The selected data corresponds to the selected image selected by the operation unit. The peripheral data corresponds to images around the selected image. In a case in which a second application is activated, the control unit reads the selected data from the storage unit so as to be developed in the second application, and displays the selected image. In a case in which a predetermined operation is performed for the selected image by the operation unit, the control unit reads the peripheral data from the storage unit, adds an image, which is based on corresponding data that corresponds to at least a part of the peripheral data, to the selected image, and displays a resultant image.
