[0021] The outline of the image management method of this embodiment will be described below.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a list display screen 1 .

[0023] A tool menu area 2 and a data display area 3 are provided on the list display screen 1 .

[0024] On the tool menu area 2, a classification button 2a and an end button 2b are provided. A plurality of index images representing original images can be displayed on the data display area 3 . The index image is displayed at a size reflecting the original image. In the data display area 3 shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of index images "image 1" - "image 6" and a mouse pointer 4 are displayed.

[0025] In FIG. 1 , since "image 5" is hidden in "image 6", the user cannot visually recognize "image 5".

[0026] Then, when the user clicks the category button 2a, the category menu 6 shown in FIG. 2 is displayed.

[0027] When the user selects "sort by shooting date and time in ascending order" or "sort by shooting date and t...

Abstract

The present invention provides an image managing apparatus and an image managing method, wherein the image managing apparatus includes a display device displaying a plurality of images and manages a plurality of original images, the method includes displaying the plurality of images obtained by reducing the original images, indicating conditions on which display orders of the plurality of images are determined, setting the display orders of the plurality of images displayed in the display device or hidden by the displayed images in accordance with the indicated conditions, and updating the display in accordance with the set display orders, wherein the setting of the display orders of the plurality of images is to set the display orders of the plurality of images displayed based on information imparted during photographing of the images or information of display states of the images in the display device in accordance with the conditions indicated to determine the display orders of the plurality of images.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image management device and an image management method capable of efficiently referring to images displayed in a superimposed manner on a screen displaying a list of images arranged and displayed at free positions on the screen. Background technique [0002] When multiple images are displayed on the screen in a free arrangement, those images may overlap, and in this case, the respective images may be hidden in other images due to the difference in display size. Even if a part of the image can be recognized, in order to operate the image, it is necessary to perform an operation such as moving the image displayed on a higher level, which becomes cumbersome. [0003] On the other hand, in a multi-window system, there is disclosed a technique for generating a tooltip, an icon, etc. corresponding to a hidden window when a mouse is operated (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-293673). [0004] In the technique d...
