Abstract
An image processing apparatus is adapted to enlarge and display, in a case where image advancing is performed after an image is enlarged and displayed, a subsequent image while maintaining an enlargement position and an enlargement magnification set for the enlarged and displayed image if the subsequent image has a predetermined image attribute.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus adapted to display plural images recorded on a recording medium, comprising:
- a display unit configured to display views of images including a first view of an image and a second view of the image in which a selected position on the image is enlarged at a magnification;
- a mode setting unit facilitating setting modes of the display unit including a normal view mode in which the display unit displays images in the first view, an enlargement view mode in which the display unit displays images in the second view, and an enlarged image advancing mode;
- an image advancing unit operative to advance a sequential image with respect to a current image for display on the display unit;
- and
- a determining unit determining an image attribute of images, including first and second image attributes;
- and
- a control unit controlling the display unit such that in the enlarged image advancing mode, the display unit displays the sequential image at the second view responsive to the determining unit determining that the sequential image has the first image attribute.

An method for displaying images recorded on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:
- a first setting step of setting one of a normal view mode and an enlargement view mode;
- a first displaying step of displaying a current image in a first view responsive to setting the normal view mode in the first setting step;
- a determining step of determining whether an image has a first image attribute or a second image attribute;
- a second displaying step of displaying the current image in a second view in which a selected position on the current image is enlarged at a magnification responsive to determining in the determining step that the current image has the first image attribute and setting to the enlargement view mode in the first setting step;
- an image advancing step of advancing to a sequential image with respect to the current image;
- and
- when set to the enlargement viewing mode in the first setting step, a second setting step of setting to an enlarged image advancing mode in which the sequential image, advanced in the image advancing step, is displayed in the second view if the sequential image has the first image attribute as determined in the determining step.
4 more elements
An image processing apparatus adapted to display a plurality of images recorded on a recording medium, comprising:
- an enlargement display device adapted to enlarge and display an image recorded on the recording medium;
- an enlargement position moving device adapted to set or move an enlargement position and an enlargement magnification of the enlarged and displayed image;
- an image advancing device adapted to perform image advancing by sequentially displaying the plurality of images, and to cause, when performing the image advancing after the image is enlarged and displayed, the enlargement display device to enlarge and display a subsequent image while maintaining the enlargement position and the enlargement magnification set for the enlarged and displayed image;
- and
- an assignment device adapted to assign a predetermined common member an operation input function that designates an operation of one of the enlargement position moving device and the image advancing device, according to an operating state of the apparatus;
- wherein an enlargement display mode for operating the enlargement display device includes a normal mode in which the enlargement position moving device functions, and an enlarged image advancing mode in which the image advancing device functions,
- wherein, in a case where the enlargement display mode is the normal mode, the assignment device assigns the common member the operation input function that designates an operation of the enlargement position moving device, and
- wherein, in a case where the enlargement display mode is the enlarged image advancing mode, the assignment device assigns the common member the operation input function that designates an operation of the image advancing device.

A method for displaying images recorded on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:
- an enlarging step of enlarging and displaying an image recorded on the recording medium;
- an assigning step of assigning a predetermined common member an operation input function that designates one of an enlargement position moving function and an image advancing function, according to an operating state of the apparatus;
- a setting step of setting or changing, in a case where the enlargement position moving function is assigned to the predetermined common member, an enlargement position and an enlargement magnification of the enlarged and displayed image;
- and
- an advancing step of performing image advancing by sequentially displaying the plurality of images, and enlarging and displaying, in a case where the image advancing function is assigned to the predetermined common member and the image advancing is performed after the image is enlarged and displayed a subsequent image while maintaining the enlargement position and the enlargement magnification set for the enlarged and displayed image;
- wherein an enlargement display mode for operating the enlargement display device includes a normal mode in which the enlargement position moving device functions, and an enlarged image advancing mode in which the image advancing device functions,
- wherein, in a case where the enlargement display mode is the normal mode, the assignment step assigns the common member the operation input function that designates an operation of the enlargement position moving device, and
- wherein, in a case where the enlargement display mode is the enlarged image advancing mode, the assignment step assigns the common member the operation input function that designates an operation of the image advancing device.
