## Abstract

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including: operation accepting means for accept an operation input; image storing means for storing a plurality of images; management information storing means for storing management information corresponding to the plurality of images stored in the image storing means; image drawing means for drawing, in a display area including at least an image display area, at least one of images stored in the image storing means onto the image display area in a predetermined sequence; and controlling means for, when an operation input commanding selection of an image included in the image display area has been accepted by the operation accepting means, controlling recording of the selection of the image to management information stored in the management information storing means in correspondence with the image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
operation accepting means for accept an operation input;
image storing means for storing a plurality of images;
management information storing means for storing management information corresponding to said plurality of images stored in said image storing means;
image drawing means for drawing, in a display area including at least an image display area, at least one of images stored in said image storing means onto said image display area in a predetermined sequence; and
controlling means for, when an operation input commanding selection of an image included in said image display area has been accepted by said operation accepting means, controlling recording of the selection of said image to management information stored in said management information storing means in correspondence with said image.
