Abstract
An image is selected from a plurality of non-selected images, an evaluation value is stored for each value of attribute information of a selected image (cluster) which is selected by the selection unit, and when an image is selected by the selection unit, a presentation priority of the non-selected images is determined based on a value of the attribute information of the non-selected images not selected by the selection unit so that the evaluation values are even.
Claims10
An image selection device for selecting an image from a plurality of non-selected images having attribute information, the image selection device comprising:
- a selection unit configured to select an image from the plurality of non-selected images;
- an evaluation value storage unit configured to store an evaluation value for each value of attribute information of the image selected by the selection unit;
- a determination unit configured to, when the image is selected by the selection means, determine a presentation priority of the non-selected images based on the value of the attribute information of the non-selected images not selected by the selection unit so that the evaluation values are even;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the non-selected images on a display screen based on the presentation priority determined by the determination unit.
A method for controlling an image selection device for selecting an image from a plurality of non-selected images having attribute information, the method comprising:
- selecting by a selection unit an image from the plurality of non-selected images;
- determining by a determination unit, when the image is selected by the selection unit, a presentation priority of the non-selected images based on the attribute information of the non-selected images which were not selected so that evaluation values stored in an evaluation value storage unit which stores an evaluation value for each value of the attribute information of the image selected by the selection unit, are even;
- and
- displaying on a display screen by a display unit the non-selected images based on the determined presentation priority.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing on a computer the method for controlling an image selection device according to claim 10.
