Abstract

The thumbnail icons representing content items stored in a Memory Stick are displayed as aligned in a linear manner. The sequence of the alignment of the thumbnail icons follows the sequence of the sort icons displayed in the control area. By rotating the jog dial, the user can scroll the thumbnail icons displayed in the view area. Rotating the jog dial, the user displays the thumbnail icon representing a desired content item as a selected thumbnail icon (at the center) and then presses the jog dial. Consequently, the content item represented by the selected thumbnail icon is reproduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a program storage medium, and more specifically, to a system that allows a user to easily browse contents such as recorded images and sounds An information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a program storage medium. Background technique [0002] There have been developed information processing apparatuses in which images (for example, thumbnail images) for browsing contents recorded on recording media are displayed, allowing users to browse a part of the contents to watch or listen to. [0003] The user operates a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch pad to switch between displayed thumbnails to reproduce desired content. [0004] However, prior art pointing devices operate by moving in two dimensions (eg, vertically or horizontally). Relia...
