Abstract
An image information processing system that displays first and second information about image information stored in the system and interlinks the first and second information, such that when the order of the first information is changed, the order of the second information is also changed, thereby simplifying various operations for the user.
Claims28
An image information processing device, comprising:
- a display;
- an image information storage;
- a display controller for causing the display to display sets of detailed information and identifier images of a plurality of sets of image information stored in an image information storage region in the image information storage, in which the identifier images identify at least parts of the plurality of sets of image information;
- and
- an interlinked display controller for, when a display order of either the detailed information or the identifier images is changed on a display screen of the display, setting a display order of the other so that the detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information are displayed in an identical display order in rows showing the detailed information and the identifier information respectively;
- further comprising an input device,
- wherein:
- the display controller includes an extract display controller for extracting detailed information according to an input from the input device, setting detailed information not extracted to a non-selectable state, and causing the display to effect a non-selectable display representing said state,
- the extract display controller causes the display to display the detailed information extracted, in such a manner that the detailed information extracted is visually more recognizable than the detailed information not extracted;
- the image information storage has a plurality of image information storage regions;
- the display controller includes a combined display controller for causing the display to display in combination the sets of detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information stored in the plurality of image information storage regions;
- and
- the set of detailed information and identifier images are respectively displayed in different display areas.

An image information processing method, comprising:
- a detailed information and identifier image display step of causing a display to display sets of detailed information and identifier images of a plurality of sets of image information stored in an image information storage region, in which identifier images identify at least parts of the plurality of sets of image information;
- an interlinked display step of:
- when a display order of either the detailed information or the identifier images is changed on a display screen of the display, setting a display order of the other so that the detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information are displayed in an identical display order in rows showing the detailed information and the identifier information respectively,
- wherein the detailed information and identifier image display step further includes extract display steps of extracting the detailed information, setting detailed information not extracted to a non-selectable state, and causing the display to effect a non-selectable display representing said state, and wherein the extract display steps cause the display to display the detailed information extracted in such a manner that the detailed information extracted is visually more recognizable than the detailed information not extracted;
- storing the plurality of sets of image information in a plurality of image information storage regions;
- causing the display to display in combination the sets of detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information stored in the plurality of image information storage regions;
- and
- causing the set of detailed information and identifier images to be respectively displayed in different display areas.
5 more elements
A computer readable storage medium storing an executable program causing a computer to execute:
- a detailed information and identifier image display process of causing a display to display sets of detailed information and identifier images of a plurality of sets of image information stored in an image information storage region, in which identifier images identify at least parts of the plurality of sets of image information;
- an interlinked display process of, when a display order of either the detailed information or the identifier images is changed on a display screen of the display, setting a display order of the other so that the detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information are displayed in an identical display order in rows showing the detailed information and the identifier information respectively;
- wherein the detailed information and identifier image display process includes an extract display process of extracting the detailed information, setting detailed information not extracted to a non-selectable state and causing the display to effect a non-selectable display representing said state, wherein the display is caused to display the detailed information extracted in such a manner that the detailed information extracted is visually more recognizable than the detailed information not extracted;
- and
- wherein the executable program further causes:
- storing the plurality of sets of image information in a plurality of image information storage regions;
- causing the display to display in combination the sets of detailed information and identifier images of the plurality of sets of image information stored in the plurality of image information storage regions;
- and
- causing the set of detailed information and identifier images to be respectively displayed in different display areas.
