Abstract
A reproducing apparatus of the present invention includes an image display device with a touch panel, picked-up images as candidates to be registered are displayed in the upper portion of a display unit of the image display device so that they are freely scrolled, and albums as registration-destined candidates are displayed in the lower portion of the display unit so that they are freely scrolled. When the touch panel is manipulated so as to draw a line segment whose locus shifts from a picked-up image shown in the upper portion to an album shown in the lower portion, the reproducing apparatus registers the picked-up image with the upper portion in the album in the lower portion.
Claims12
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a display unit having a display region that is allowed to be divided into at least a first display region and a second display region;
- an album management unit that manages an album keeping a group consisting of a combination of arbitrary images arbitrarily selected from images having been stored in a memory unit;
- and
- an album registration unit, which registers the arbitrary images with the album managed by the album management unit;
- comprising:
- a first display control unit which causes the respective images stored to the memory unit to be displayed in the first display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switches the images of the album to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the first display region;
- a second display control unit which causes the respective icon images, which show the album managed by the album management unit, to be displayed in the second display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switches the icon images to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the second display region;
- and
- an input unit which inputs an instruction for instructing to register the image being displayed in the first display region to the album shown by the icon image being displayed in the second display region.
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a display means having a display region that is allowed to be divided into at least a first display region and a second display region;
- an album management means that manages an album keeping a group consisting of a combination of arbitrary images arbitrarily selected from images having been stored in a memory means;
- and
- an album registration means, which registers the arbitrary images with the album managed by the album management means, comprising:
- first display control means for causing the respective images stored to the memory means to be displayed in a first display region of the display means as alternatives, and switching the images of the album to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the first display region;
- second display control means for causing the respective icon images showing the album managed by the album management means to be displayed in a second display region of the display means as alternatives, and switching the icon images to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the second display region;
- and
- input means for inputting an instruction for instructing to register the image being displayed in the first display region to the album shown by the icon image being displayed in the second display region.
An album registration method of a reproducing apparatus comprising a display unit having a display region that is allowed to be divided into at least a first display region and a second display region, an album management unit that manages an album keeping a group consisting of a combination of arbitrary images arbitrarily selected from images having been stored in a memory unit, and an album registration unit, which registers the arbitrary images with the album managed by the album management unit, the method comprising:
- displaying the respective images stored to the memory unit in the first display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switching the images of the album to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the first display region;
- displaying the respective icon images, which show the album managed by the album management unit, in the second display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switching the icon images to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the second display region;
- and
- registering the image being displayed in the first display region with the album shown by the icon image being displayed in the second display region.
A recording medium that is read by a computer and has a program stored therein, the program executing an album registration method of a reproducing apparatus comprising a display unit, an album management unit that manages an album keeping a group consisting of a combination of arbitrary images arbitrarily selected from images having been stored in a memory unit, wherein the method comprising:
- displaying the respective images stored to the memory unit to a first display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switching images of the album to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the first display region;
- causing the respective icon images, which show the album managed by the album management unit, to be displayed in a second display region of the display unit as alternatives, and switching icon images to be displayed in response to an instruction so that they are scrolled in the second display region;
- and
- registering the image being displayed in the first display region to the album shown by the icon image being displayed in the second display region in response to an instruction.
