Display control apparatus, display control method, and program therefor

A display control method comprising the steps of:

• executing control for displaying a unit moving image list image formed by arranging at least representative images corresponding to respective unit moving image data in a predetermined unit;
• arranging, concerning representative images that should be designated as moving images among the representative images, a moving image obtained by reproducing unit moving image data corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list screen and arranging, concerning the representative images other than the representative images designated as the moving image, a still image represented by a unit moving image corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list image;
• and
• sequentially changing the representative images designated as a moving image in accordance with a predetermined change rule and change timing.

A program for causing a display control apparatus to execute the steps of:

• executing control for displaying a unit moving image list image formed by arranging at least representative images corresponding to respective unit moving image data in a predetermined unit;
• arranging, concerning representative images that should be designated as moving images among the representative images, a moving image obtained by reproducing unit moving image data corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list screen and arranging, concerning the representative images other than the representative images designated as the moving image, a still image represented by a unit moving image corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list image;
• and
• sequentially changing the representative images designated as a moving image in accordance with a predetermined change rule and change timing.

A display control apparatus comprising:

• a list-image-display control unit executing control for displaying a unit moving image list image formed by arranging at least representative images corresponding to respective unit moving image data in a predetermined unit;
• a representative-image-display control unit arranging, concerning representative images that should be designated as moving images among the representative images, a moving image obtained by reproducing unit moving image data corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list screen and arranging, concerning the representative images other than the representative images designated as the moving image, a still image represented by a unit moving image corresponding thereto on the unit moving image list image;
• and
• a moving-image-change control unit sequentially changing the representative images designated as a moving image in accordance with a predetermined change rule and change timing.
