Abstract
A display apparatus including a display unit, adapted to playback a sequence of images, comprises: a detection configured to detect an attitude of the display apparatus or the display unit; a control unit configured to control the display unit to pause playback of the sequence of images, if the detected attitude of the display apparatus is not substantially aligned with the orientation of an image to be displayed.
Claims15
A display apparatus including a display unit, arranged to play back an image sequence, comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect an attitude of the display apparatus or the display unit;
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information of a time of length of the image sequence to be played back before the image sequence is to be played back;
- and
- a control unit configured to control to play back the image sequence in a state that a display size or a display direction of the image sequence is not changed based on the attitude detected by the detection unit, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained by the obtaining unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined time, and to control to play back the image sequence in a state that the display size or the display direction of the image sequence is based on the attitude detected by the detection unit, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained by the obtaining unit is less than the predetermined time.
A control method of playback of an image sequence on a display apparatus including a display unit, comprising:
- a detection step of detecting an attitude of the display apparatus or the display unit;
- an obtaining step of obtaining information of a time of length of the image sequence to be played back before the image sequence is to be played back;
- and
- a control step of controlling to play back, on the display unit, the image sequence in a state that a display size or a display direction of the image sequence is not changed based on the attitude detected in the detection step, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained in the obtaining step is greater than or equal to a predetermined time, and of controlling to play back the image sequence in a state that the display size or the display direction of the image sequence is based on the attitude detected in the detection step, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained in the obtaining step is less than the predetermined time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to function as respective units of a display apparatus including a display unit, arranged to play back an image sequence, the respective units being:
- a detection unit configured to detect an attitude of the display apparatus or the display unit;
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information of a time of length of the image sequence to be played back before the image sequence is to be played back;
- and
- a control unit configured to control to play back the image sequence in a state that a display size or a display direction of the image sequence is not changed based on the attitude detected by the detection unit, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained by the obtaining unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined time, and to control to play back the image sequence in a state that the display size or the display direction of the image sequence is based on the attitude detected by the detection unit, if the time of length of the image sequence obtained by the obtaining unit is less than the predetermined time.
