  • Patent number: 10222968
    Abstract: An image display control apparatus includes a display controller, a determination unit, and an execution unit. When an image displayed on a display having a display area and a touch panel disposed on the display area is specified through the touch panel, the display controller performs control to display menu screens individually representing predetermined plural menu items in such a manner that a free area is provided in part of a peripheral area adjacent to the image displayed in the display area. The determination unit determines that, when specification of the image through the touch panel is followed by movement of a specified position onto a desired menu screen, the menu item represented by the desired menu screen is specified, and determines that, when the specified position is moved to the free area, a drag operation is specified. The execution unit executes a process corresponding to a determination result.

  • Patent number: 9582172
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a first controller, a detector, and a second controller. The first controller performs control to divide a display region of a display into divided regions arranged in a first direction, for which attributes of images are determined, and to collectively display images in the divided regions according to each classification item. The display includes a specifying unit specifying a position in the display region and an operation on the displayed image. The detector detects a scrolling operation in a second direction intersecting the first direction. When the scrolling operation is detected and particular divided regions in which images belonging to the same classification item are displayed exist, the second controller performs control to scroll images collectively displayed according to each classification item in the second direction at speeds at which predetermined positions of the displayed images are synchronous among the particular divided regions.

  • Patent number: 9430989
    Abstract: An image display control apparatus includes a division unit and a display controller. The division unit divides a rectangular display area into plural rectangular sub-areas in a direction in which one side of the display area extends. The display controller performs display control to enlarge or reduce rectangular images so that while aspect ratios of the images are maintained, a length of each of the sub-areas in the direction in which the one side of the display area extends is equal to or substantially equal to a length of each of the images in the direction in which the one side of the display area extends, and to display at least some of the enlarged or reduced images in the sub-areas.

  • Patent number: 9172879
    Abstract: An image display control apparatus includes a memory, a determination unit, and a display controller. The memory stores plural sets of information each set including image information indicating an image to be displayed on a display and at least one attribute concerning the image information, which are associated with each other. When one of plural images displayed on the display is selected, the determination unit determines whether or not the image information stored in the memory includes image information stored in association with an attribute relevant to an attribute associated with the selected image. The display controller performs display control to display a mark for a relevant image when displaying the plural images on the display in accordance with the image information stored in the memory and displaying on the display a relevant image based on the image information included in the stored image information.
