Abstract
One of the aspects of the disclosure is directed to displaying an image according to attribute information thereof in a display area having a time axis based on an item of predetermined attribute information, and when changing a display range on the time axis, allowing a user to easily designate a point to be a reference thereof. An information processing apparatus according to the present invention displays an image in the display area having the time axis according to date and time information of the image. The information processing apparatus moves a mouse cursor on the display area according to a user's operation, and sets a reference after the display range is changed.

An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display an image on a display area having a time axis according to photo shooting time of the image;
- a designation unit configured to designate a point on the display area in response to a user's operation;
- and
- a changing unit configured to change a display range of the time axis,
- wherein the changing unit, if the image is displayed at the designated point, changes the display range using the photo shooting time of the image as a reference, and if the image is not displayed at the designated point, changes the display range using time on the time axis corresponding to the designated point as a reference.
A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying an image on a display area having a time axis according to photo shooting time of the image;
- designating a point on the display area in response to a user's operation;
- if the image is displayed at the designated point, changing a display range of the time axis using the photo shooting time of the image as a reference;
- and
- if the image is not displayed at the designated point, changing the display range of the time axis using time on the time axis corresponding to the designated point as a reference.
A storage medium storing a computer-program, the program comprising:
- displaying an image on a display area having a time axis according to photo shooting time of the image;
- designating a point on the display area in response to a user's operation;
- if the image is displayed at the designated point, changing a display range of the time axis using the photo shooting time of the image as a reference;
- and
- if the image is not displayed at the designated point, changing the display range of the time axis using time on the time axis corresponding to the designated point as a reference.
