Embodiment Construction

[0068] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0069] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a digital still camera 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] The digital still camera 1 is an example of an image management device that picks up an image of an object and records image data obtained as a result of the image pickup.

[0071] The following description is made by taking the digital still camera 1 as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to, for example, a digital video camera, a portable phone with an image pickup function, or a personal computer with an image pickup function.

[0072] The digital camera 1 includes a camera unit 11, a camera DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 12, an SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) 13, a control unit 14, an operation unit 15, an LCD controller 16, an LCD 17, A medi...

Abstract

It is possible to surely and quickly search a desired image. A keyword search unit (121) searches a keyword set in the image data from the recording medium according to the keyword. An imaging information search unit (122) searches the imaging information set in the image data from the recording medium according to the imaging information. A similar information set image search unit (114) searches similar image data as image data having a high correlation with the searched keyword or the imaging information according to the searched keyword or imaging information by the keyword search unit (121) or the imaging information search unit (122). A keyword extraction unit (115) extracts a keyword from the similar image data. A keyword setting unit (116) sets the extracted keyword on the image data searched by the keyword search unit (121) or the imaging information search unit (122). Thus, it is possible to quickly and surely search a desired image. The present invention can be applied to an image management device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus, a recording medium, and a program for managing images, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus, a recording medium, and a program for managing images that search for picked-up images. Background technique [0002] Recently, with the spread of digital still cameras, digital video cameras, and the like, the capacities of recording media such as memory cards for recording images picked up by these devices have been increasing. [0003] These digital still cameras and digital video cameras display picked-up images on small LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays). The user views the picked-up image against the displayed image. [0004] As the capacity of recording media has increased, the number of images that can be recorded on the recording medium has also increased, and thus, it has become more difficult to manage and view the recorded images. [0005] There is a device that allows a user to i...
