Benefits of technology

Facilitates easy image selection by prioritizing images based on attribute information, reducing user effort and ensuring a balanced impression in image collections, such as albums, by displaying images with higher presentation priority first.

Problems solved by technology

When selecting images for an album from among a large number of images, a great deal of effort is required to select the images so that nobody is shown with a biased impression.
Since the same restriction is imposed based on whether an image has been displayed even when the number of images increases, it is impossible to know which images should be preferentially displayed.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0038]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of an image selection device according to a first exemplary embodiment. This image selection device includes a central processing unit (CPU) 2102. The CPU 2102 performs calculations and logical determinations for various processes, and controls each of the configuration elements connected to a bus 2101.

[0039]The present image selection device contains a memory which includes a program memory and a data memory. A program for control by the CPU based on a flowchart is stored in the program memory. This program memory includes the below-described various processes. This memory may be a read only memory (ROM) 2103, or a random access memory (RAM) 2104 into which the program is loaded from an external storage device. This memory may also be realized by a combination ...

Abstract

An image is selected from a plurality of non-selected images, an evaluation value is stored for each value of attribute information of a selected image (cluster) which is selected by the selection unit, and when an image is selected by the selection unit, a presentation priority of the non-selected images is determined based on a value of the attribute information of the non-selected images not selected by the selection unit so that the evaluation values are even.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 632,596 filed Dec. 7, 2009, which claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-313398 filed Dec. 9, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an image selection device for selecting a plurality of images, and a control method thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]With the increase in capacity of digital camera hard disks and memory cards over recent years, it has become easier to store a large number of images. When selecting images for an album from among a large number of images, a great deal of effort is required to select the images so that nobody is shown with a biased impression.[0006]Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-276484 discusses a method for performing an efficient image search when selecting an intended image from ...
