Picture displaying apparatus, picture displaying method, picture displaying program, and computer readable record medium containing the picture displaying program

A picture displaying method for displaying a picture on a displaying unit in a picture displaying apparatus comprising a storing unit for storing a plurality of pictures having a visually same or almost same form and said displaying unit for displaying at least one picture among said plurality of pictures, said picture displaying method comprising the steps of:

• an aimed region designating step of designating a partial region on a picture as an aimed region;
• an image cutting-out step of cutting out a same predetermined region corresponding to said aimed region on said picture designated at said aimed region designating step as an aimed region picture from each of said plurality of pictures;
• a display controlling step of displaying said aimed region pictures of said plurality of pictures cut out at said image cutting-out step on said displaying unit;
• said displaying controlling step comprising:
• a superposed picture forming step of forming a superposed picture by successively superposing a plurality of said aimed region pictures of each of said plurality of pictures cut out at said image cutting-out step in layers from rearmost to foremost;
• and
• a visual effect controlling step of displaying, on said displaying unit, each of said aimed region pictures forming said superposed picture at a predetermined transparency and as each of said aimed region pictures are successively superposed, so that the successively superposed aimed region pictures are displayed on the display unit as successively changing aimed region pictures, wherein said plurality of pictures includes at least three pictures, and the predetermined transparencies of the aimed region pictures increases, respectively, as the aimed region pictures are in layers from rearmost to foremost, respectively.

A picture displaying program for making a computer execute a function of displaying a picture on a displaying unit in a picture displaying apparatus comprising a storing unit for storing a plurality of pictures having a visually same or almost same form and said displaying unit for displaying at least one picture among said plurality of pictures, said picture displaying program making said computer function as:

• an aimed region designating unit for designating a partial region on a picture as an aimed region;
• an image cutting-out unit for cutting out a same predetermined region corresponding to said aimed region on said picture designated by said aimed region designating unit as an aimed region picture from each of said plurality of pictures;
• a display controlling unit for displaying said aimed region pictures of said plurality of pictures cut out by said image cutting-out unit on said displaying unit;
• when said picture displaying program makes said computer function as said display controlling unit, said picture displaying program making said computer function as:
• a superposed picture forming unit for forming a superposed picture by successively superposing a plurality of said aimed region pictures of each of said plurality of pictures cut out by said image cutting-out unit in layers from rearmost to foremost;
• and
• a visual effect controlling unit for displaying, on said displaying unit, each of said aimed region pictures forming said superposed picture at a predetermined transparency and as each of said aimed region pictures are successively superposed, so that the successively superposed aimed region pictures are displayed on the display unit as successively changing aimed region pictures, wherein said plurality of pictures includes at least three pictures, and the predetermined transparencies of the aimed region pictures increases, respectively, as the aimed region pictures are in layers from rearmost to foremost, respectively.

A computer readable record medium containing a picture displaying program for making a computer execute a function of displaying a picture on a displaying unit in a picture displaying apparatus comprising a storing unit for storing a plurality of pictures having a visually same or almost same form and said displaying unit for displaying at least one picture among said plurality of pictures, said picture displaying program making said computer function as:

• an aimed region designating unit for designating a partial region on a picture as an aimed region;
• an image cutting-out unit for cutting out a same predetermined region corresponding to said aimed region on said picture designated by said aimed region designating unit as an aimed region picture from each of said plurality of pictures;
• a display controlling unit for displaying said aimed region pictures of said plurality of pictures cut out by said image cutting-out unit on said displaying unit;
• when said picture displaying program makes said computer function as said display controlling unit, said picture displaying program making said computer function as:
• a superposed picture forming unit for forming a superposed picture by successively superposing a plurality of said aimed region pictures of each of said plurality of pictures cut out by said image cutting-out unit in layers from rearmost to foremost;
• and
• a visual effect controlling unit for displaying, on said displaying unit, each of said aimed region pictures forming said superposed picture at a predetermined transparency and as each of said aimed region pictures are successively superposed, so that the successively superposed aimed region pictures are displayed on the display unit as successively changing aimed region pictures, wherein said plurality of pictures includes at least three pictures, and the predetermined transparencies of the aimed region pictures increases, respectively, as the aimed region pictures are in layers from rearmost to foremost, respectively.

A method comprising:

• designating a partial region on a picture as an aimed region;
• cutting out a same predetermined region corresponding to the aimed region as an aimed region picture from each of a plurality of pictures, to thereby provide a plurality of aimed region pictures;
• successively superposing the plurality of aimed region pictures in layers from rearmost to foremost;
• and
• displaying each of the aimed region pictures at a predetermined transparency for the respective aimed region picture and as each of the aimed region pictures are successively superposed in layers from rearmost to foremost, so that the successively superposed aimed region pictures are displayed as successively changing aimed region pictures, wherein the plurality of pictures includes at least three pictures, and the predetermined transparencies of the aimed region pictures increases, respectively, as the aimed region pictures are in layers from rearmost to foremost, respectively.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for designating a partial region on a picture as an aimed region;
• means for cutting out a same predetermined region corresponding to the aimed region as an aimed region picture from each of a plurality of pictures, to thereby provide a plurality of aimed region pictures;
• means for successively superposing the plurality of aimed region pictures in layers from rearmost to foremost;
• and
• means for displaying each of the aimed region pictures at a predetermined transparency for the respective aimed region picture and as each of the aimed region pictures are successively superposed, so that the successively superposed aimed region pictures are displayed as successively changing aimed region pictures, wherein the plurality of pictures includes at least three pictures, and the predetermined transparencies of the aimed region pictures increases, respectively, as the aimed region pictures are in layers from rearmost to foremost, respectively.
