Abstract

An image display apparatus, comprising: an image display section which displays an image; an attention decision section which determines a degree of attention of a user with respect to the image; an image identifier extraction section which extracts a plurality of identifiers which are assigned to the image and indicate an attribute of the image; an attention identifier detection section which detects an attention identifier from an attention image determined to have a high degree of attention of the user by the attention decision section; and a display control section which detects an image to be displayed having the attention identifier from among the images to be displayed on the image display section, and performs a display control of the image display section so as to further increase the frequency at which the image to be displayed is displayed.

Dependent claims

A display control method, comprising:

receiving an input of a frame advance instruction of an image displayed on an image display section, and making a determination of a degree of attention of a user with respect to the image displayed on the image display section after a predetermined number of frames are advanced in response to the frame advance instruction, based on a duration of display time when the image is displayed and an average duration of display time of the predetermined number of frames of images, the predetermined number of frames of images including at least an image being lastly displayed in response to the frame advance instruction, after an image display start instruction is detected;
detecting an attention identifier which is assigned to an attention image determined to have a value of the degree of attention equal to or greater than a predetermined value in said receiving the input, the attention identifier indicating a plurality of attributes of the attention image;
detecting images to be displayed having the attention identifier, performing a display control of the image display section so as to display only the images to be displayed in response to a frame advance instruction received after the display control is started;
and
calculating and updating the average duration of display time each time the image is frame-advanced,
wherein, when a frame advance operation is detected after the predetermined number of frames of images are displayed, on a basis of a determination result of the degree of attention, the image display section displays image data determined to have a highest degree of attention of the user from among image data later in a frame advance order,
wherein, the degree of attention of the user with respect to the image is converted to a numerical value based on a number of identifiers matched between an identifier determined to have the highest degree of attention of the user and an identifier extracted from the image or a ratio of a number of identifiers, and if the numerical value of the degree of attention is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the image is to be frame advanced.

A non-transitory programmable storage medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a digital processing apparatus to perform:

an image display function which displays an image on an image display apparatus;
a frame advance instruction function which receives an input of a frame advance instruction of an image displayed on the image display apparatus;
an attention decision function which makes a determination of a degree of attention of a user with respect to the image after a predetermined number of frames of images are advanced in response to the frame advance instruction, based on a duration of display time when the image is displayed and an average duration of display time of the predetermined number of frames of images, the predetermined number of frames of images including at least an image being lastly displayed in response to the frame advance instruction, after an image display start instruction is detected;
an attention identifier detection function which detects an attention identifier from an attention image determined to have a value of the degree of attention equal to or greater than a predetermined value by the attention decision function;
and
a display control function which detects images to be displayed having the attention identifier and performs the display control so as to display only the images to be displayed in response to a frame advance instruction received after the display control is started,
wherein each time the image is frame-advanced, the average duration of display time is calculated and updated,
wherein, when a frame advance operation is detected after the predetermined number of frames of images are displayed, on a basis of a determination result of the degree of attention, the image display section displays image data determined to have a highest degree of attention of the user from among image data later in a frame advance order,
wherein, the degree of attention of the user with respect to the image is converted to a numerical value based on a number of identifiers matched between an identifier determined to have the highest degree of attention of the user and an identifier extracted from the image or a ratio of a number of identifiers, and if the numerical value of the degree of attention is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the image is to be frame advanced.
