Abstract
An image display apparatus includes an image readout unit which reads an image from a recording medium, a display unit which displays the image, a user interface unit which turns on an jump mode, and a control unit which changes an image displayed on the display unit. If the jump mode is on, the control unit can change an image displayed on the display unit to an image existing in a folder N folders ahead or behind of a currently selected folder, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than 1.

An image display apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit configured to display an image from an image file in a currently selected folder;
- a non-volatile memory that stores a folder jump number;
- a user interface unit configured to change the folder jump number;
- a control unit configured to determine a jump folder based on the changed folder jump number and display a top image of the jump folder on the display unit;
- and
- a processing unit configured to generate a top image of a next jump folder by multiplying a rate with a total number of image files in the next jump folder, wherein the rate is calculated by dividing a position of a currently displayed image file in a currently selected jump folder by a total number of image files in the currently selected jump folder.
A method for controlling an image display apparatus including a display unit and a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:
- displaying an image from an image file in a currently selected folder on the display unit;
- changing a folder jump number stored in the non-volatile memory, the folder jump number being changed via a user interface unit of the image display apparatus;
- determining a jump folder based on the changed folder jump number, wherein the jump folder is a folder two or more folders ahead or behind from the currently selected folder;
- displaying a top image of the jump folder on the display unit;
- and
- generating a top image of a next jump folder by multiplying a rate with a total number of image files in the next jump folder, wherein the rate is calculated by dividing a position of a currently displayed image file in a currently selected jump folder by a total number of image files in the currently selected jump folder.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium containing a program for controlling an image display apparatus including a display unit and a non-volatile memory, the program comprising:
- computer-executable instructions for displaying an image from an image file in a currently selected folder on the display unit;
- computer-executable instructions for changing a folder jump number stored in the non-volatile memory, the folder jump number being changed via a user interface unit of the image display apparatus;
- computer-executable instructions for determining a jump folder based on the changed folder jump number, wherein the jump folder is a folder two or more folders ahead or behind from the currently selected folder;
- computer-executable instructions for displaying a top image of the jump folder on the display unit;
- and computer-executable instructions for generating a top image of a next jump folder by multiplying a rate with a total number of image files in the next jump folder, wherein the rate is calculated by dividing a position of a currently displayed image file in a currently selected jump folder by a total number of image files in the currently selected jump folder.
