Abstract
A map range determination unit determines a map range that includes all of the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection unit. A map image creation unit creates a map image of a map range determined by the map range determination unit based on the map information. A superimposition unit superimposes symbols representing the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection unit on a map image created by the map image creation unit. A index page insertion unit inserts a map image on which symbols have been superimposed by the superimposition unit into the electronic photo album in the form of an index page of the electronic photo album.
Claims21
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- an image recording unit configured to record a plurality of image data items to which shooting information containing shooting locations is added;
- an image selection unit configured to select, from the image recording unit, a plurality of image data items to be used in creating an electronic photo album;
- an electronic photo album creation unit configured to arrange each of the image data items selected by the image selection unit on any one of a plurality of pages included in the electronic photo album to create an electronic photo album;
- a map storage unit configured to store map information;
- a map range determination unit configured to determine a map range that includes all of the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection unit;
- a map image creation unit configured to create a map image of a map range determined by the map range determination unit based on the map information;
- a superimposition unit configured to superimpose symbols representing the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection unit on a map image created by the map image creation unit;
- and
- an index page insertion unit configured to insert a map image on which symbols have been superimposed by the superimposition unit into the electronic photo album in the form of an index page of the electronic photo album.
An image recording method applied to an image recording apparatus including an image recording unit configured to record a plurality of image data items to which shooting information containing shooting locations is added and a map storage unit configured to store map information, the method comprising:
- executing an image selection process of selecting, from the image recording unit, a plurality of image data items to be used in creating an electronic photo album;
- executing an electronic photo album creation process of arranging each of the image data items selected by the image selection process on any one of a plurality of pages included in the electronic photo album to create the electronic photo album;
- executing a map range determination process of determining a map range that includes all of the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection process;
- executing a map image creation process of creating a map image of a map range determined by the map range determination process based on the map information;
- executing a superimposition process of superimposing symbols representing the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection process on a map image created by the map image creation process;
- and
- executing an index page insertion process of inserting a map image on which symbols have been superimposed by the superimposition process into the electronic photo album in the form of an index page of the electronic photo album.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code stored thereon for controlling a computer operable as an image recording apparatus including an image recording unit configured to record a plurality of image data items to which shooting information containing shooting locations is added and a map storage unit configured to store map information, the program code comprising:
- executing an image selection process of selecting, from the image recording unit, a plurality of image data items to be used in creating an electronic photo album;
- executing an electronic photo album creation process of arranging each of the image data items selected by the image selection process on any one of a plurality of pages included in the electronic photo album to create the electronic photo album;
- executing a map range determination process of determining a map range that includes all of the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection process;
- executing a map image creation process of creating a map image of a map range determined by the map range determination process based on the map information;
- executing a superimposition process of superimposing symbols representing the shooting locations of the image data items selected by the image selection process on a map image created by the map image creation process;
- and
- executing an index page insertion process of inserting a map image on which symbols have been superimposed by the superimposition process into the electronic photo album in the form of an index page of the electronic photo album.
