Abstract
Embodiments of the technology involve apparatus and methods for control of displaying of images. In an example, an apparatus may include an image display, a sensor to detect posture of the image display and a processor to control sequentially displaying images of a group of images on the image display based on changes in the detected posture. The processor may control a display of a posture indicator on the image display such that the indicator may represent a relation between a change in the detected posture and an image of the group of images. Optionally, the indicator may be represented by a tilt meter. Moreover, in some embodiments, the sensor may be implemented with a gyroscopic sensor.
Claims32
A method of a processor to control a display of images, said method comprising:
- detecting posture of an image display device with a sensor;
- sequentially displaying images of a group of images on the image display device based on changes in the detected posture;
- and
- displaying manipulation support information, the manipulation support information representing a relation between a change in the detected posture and an image of the group of images,
- in which a relationship between a rotation angle associated with the posture of the image display device and a manipulation range representative of an overall angular range is determined according to a number of images to be displayed,
- in which a different posture is assigned to each image of the images to be displayed such that when the image display device has a respective posture a respective image associated therewith is displayed on the image display device, and
- said manipulation support information indicating a position of the image of the group of images within the manipulation range.
An apparatus for control of displaying of images comprising:
- an image display;
- a sensor to detect posture of the image display;
- and
- a processor to (i) control sequentially displaying images of a group of images on the image display based on changes in the detected posture, and (ii) control a display of manipulation support information, the manipulation support information representing a relation between a change in the detected posture and an image of the group of images,
- in which a relationship between a rotation angle associated with the posture of the image display device and a manipulation range representative of an overall angular range is determined according to a number of images to be displayed,
- in which a different posture is assigned to each image of the images to be displayed such that when the image display device has a respective posture a respective image associated therewith is displayed on the image display device, and
- said manipulation support information indicating a position of the image of the group of images within the manipulation range.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a program which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform a method of controlling a display of images, said method comprising:
- detecting posture of an image display device with use of a sensor;
- sequentially displaying images of a group of images on the image display device based on changes in the detected posture;
- and
- displaying manipulation support information, the manipulation support information representing a relation between a change in the detected posture and an image of the group of images,
- in which a relationship between a rotation angle associated with the posture of the image display device and a manipulation range representative of an overall angular range is determined according to a number of images to be displayed,
- in which a different posture is assigned to each image of the images to be displayed such that when the image display device has a respective posture a respective image associated therewith is displayed on the image display device, and
- said manipulation support information indicating a position of the image of the group of images within the manipulation range.
