[Example 1]
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the page image display control system 1.

The entire operation of the page image display control system 1 is controlled by the CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2.

The page image display control system 1 includes a keyboard 3 and a mouse 4 as input devices for giving commands and the like to the page image display control system 1. Commands and the like from the keyboard 3 and the mouse 4 are given to the CPU 2 via the input control device 5. Further, the page image display control system 1 includes a memory 8 for temporarily storing data and the like, a hard disk 7 for accessing the hard disk 7, a hard disk drive 6 for accessing the hard disk 7, and a display for controlling the display device 10 and the display device 10. A control device 9 is included.

The page image display control system 1 further includes a memory card reader / writer 11 for accessing the memory card 12, and a CD-ROM drive 13 for accessing the CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) 14. And a communication device 15 for connecting to a network such as the Internet is included.

The CD-ROM 14 (recording medium) containing a computer-readable program that controls the operation described later is read by the CD-ROM drive 13, and the read program is installed in the page image display control system 1. NS. Such a program is a CD
-It may be stored in a portable recording medium such as a memory card 12 other than ROM 14, or it may be pre-installed in the page image display control system 1. Further, the program may be received by the communication device 15 via a network such as the Internet, and the received program may be installed in the page image display control system 1.

2 and 3 are flowcharts showing a processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. Part of the processing performed when generating an album (electronic album) is shown by FIGS. 2 and 3.

On the display screen of the display device 10, a save location designation image for specifying a save location in which a plurality of images are saved is displayed. Specifying the storage location The user can specify the storage location such as the hard disk 7, the CD-ROM 14, the memory card 12, and the storage area on the network by using the image. If a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory (not shown) can be connected to the page image display control system 1, a USB memory can also be specified as the storage location. The user uses the keyboard 3 or the mouse 4 to specify the storage location of the image used to generate the album (step 21). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the memory card 12 is specified by the user as the storage location of the image. You may specify the range of a plurality of images from the plurality of images saved in the image storage location before specifying the image storage location or after specifying the image storage location. For example, a shooting period may be specified, and a plurality of images taken within the specified shooting period may be specified from among a plurality of images stored in the image storage location.

FIG. 4 shows an image file stored in the memory card 12.

It is assumed that the memory card 12 stores 500 image files represented by image file names from IMG001 to IMG500. However, the image file names do not have to be consecutive. For example, a user brings a memory card 12 to a trip or the like, and 500 image files are stored in the memory card 12 by taking a picture at the travel destination or the like. In addition to a single event such as a trip, an image file obtained by taking a picture at a wedding ceremony and an image file obtained by taking a picture during a post-wedding trip (for example, a honeymoon) are stored in the memory card 12. It may have been done. The image files obtained by shooting at a plurality of events in this way may be stored in the memory card 12 (not limited to the memory card 12).

Returning to FIG. 2, a plurality of image files stored in the memory card 12 are read by the CPU 2, and the plurality of images are divided by the CPU 2 for each scene (step 22).

FIG. 5 shows how a plurality of images are divided for each scene.

It is assumed that the 500 image files stored in the memory card 12 were obtained by shooting a trip for 4 nights and 5 days. The five days are divided into morning, afternoon, and night, and 500 images are divided into 15 scenes from scene S1 to scene S15. Data indicating the imaging date and time is stored in the header of the file, and the data indicating the imaging date and time is used for division. For example, scene S1 (first morning) contains 21 images represented by image file names IMG001 to IMG021, and scene S2 (first afternoon) contains image file names IMG022. 32 images represented by IMG054 are included, and scene S3 (first night) contains 29 images represented by image file names IMG055 to IMG084. Other scenes are also divided into scenes S4 to S15 based on the imaging date and time.

In this embodiment, a plurality of images are divided for each scene using the shooting date and time, but a plurality of images may be divided for each scene by another method such as for each event instead of the shooting date and time. For example, if there are images of multiple events such as images of basketball games, images of baseball games, and images of tennis games, by separating multiple images for each event such as basketball, baseball, and tennis. ， Multiple images may be separated for each scene.

Returning to FIG. 2, the number of pages of the album is specified by the user using the keyboard 3 (step 23). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the number of pages of the album is 20 pages (when the two pages on the left and right of the spread are set to 2 pages instead of 1 page), but even if it is specified to another number of pages. good. Considering a double-page spread as one page, the number of pages is 10.

Then, the divided scenes are assigned to each spread page by the CPU 2 (step 24). In this embodiment, the image of the spread page is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 (see FIG. 7). The image of the spread page is referred to as the page image. However, the display may be displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 for each page instead of the double-page spread. In that case, the one-page image that is not a spread becomes the page image.

FIG. 6 is an example of a page image table.

The page image table shows the relationship between the page image and the scene assigned to the page image. Since the page image corresponds to the spread page (or each page), the scene assigned to the page image is the scene assigned to the spread page (or each page).

Since the number of pages of the album specified by the user is 10 when considering the spread page, 10 page images P1 to P10 are stored in the page image table. Scene identification data is stored in the page image table corresponding to these page images P1 to P10. Scenes S1 and S2 are assigned to the page image P1, and scene S3 is assigned to the page image P2. Similarly, the page image P3 has scenes S4 and S5, the page image P4 has scene S6, the page image P5 has scene S7, the page image P6 has scene S8, and the page image P7 has scene S9 and S10 is assigned to the page image P8, scene S11 is assigned to the page image P9, scene S12 is assigned to the page image P9, and scenes S13, S14 and S15 are assigned to the page image P10.

Returning to FIG. 2, the image included in the scene assigned to the spread page (page image) is extracted by the CPU 2 (step 25). The number of images to be pasted on the spread page is predetermined for each spread page (may be added), and the fixed number of images are extracted. For example, 6 images can be pasted on the first spread page (page image P1), and 6 of the images included in the scenes S1 and S2 assigned to the first spread page (page image P1) can be pasted. Two images are extracted by the CPU 2. Images may be extracted based on any evaluation criteria, such as those with high evaluation as images, those with different shooting dates, and those with high evaluation of the main subject. For example, on the first spread page (page image P1), the images of the image file names IMG001, IMG012, IMG019, IMG021, IMG041 and IMG048 are extracted from the images of the scenes S1 and S2. The extracted image is pasted by the CPU 2 on the first spread page (page image P1).

Similarly, for page images P2 to P10 other than the page image P1, images are extracted from the scenes assigned to the respective page images and pasted. In this way, the page images P1 to P10 to which the images included in the assigned scene are attached are the CPUs.
Generated by 2 (step 26). When the page images P1 to P10 are generated, the generated page images P1 to P10 are displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 by the display control device 9 (first page image display control means) (step 27). When a plurality of images are divided for each scene, a plurality of page images to which the images included in the assigned scenes among the divided scenes are attached are displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 by the display control device 9. Will be done.

FIG. 7 is an example of the page image list window 40 displayed on the display screen of the display device 10.

The page image list window 40 includes a plurality of page images P1 to P10. As described above, an image (thumbnail image) extracted from the images included in the scene assigned to each page image is attached to each of the plurality of page images P1 to P10.

Of the plurality of page images P1 to P10, a page image addition instruction area 41 is displayed between adjacent page images. The page image addition instruction area 41 has a plus sign inside a circle (not necessarily a circle). It is sufficient that the page image addition instruction area 41 is determined to be between the adjacent page image addition instruction areas 41, and may or may not overlap the page image addition instruction area 41. Even if adjacent page images are in contact with each other, if the page image addition instruction area 41 is on the boundary of the adjacent page images, the page image addition instruction area 41 is between the adjacent page image addition instruction areas 41. There will be. The page image addition instruction area 41 is controlled by the display device 10 so as to be displayed by the display control device 9 (page image addition instruction area display control means).

Further, the page image deletion instruction area 42 is displayed corresponding to each of the page images P1 to P10 of the plurality of page images. The page image deletion instruction area 42 is marked with a cross inside a rectangle (not necessarily a rectangle). The page image deletion instruction area 42 is displayed at the upper right of each page image of page images P1 to P10 so as to overlap a part of the page image, but it may be displayed corresponding to the page image. It can be anywhere above or below the page image. The page image deletion instruction area 42 is also displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 under the control of the display control device 9 (page image deletion instruction area display control means).

In the page image list window 40, the initial window display button 43 with the characters "return to the beginning", the window return button 44 with the characters "back", and the size of each page of the album. Includes an album information display area 45 where the number of pages and charges are displayed, and a list display button 46 with the words "To image list". When the initial window display button 43 is clicked by the user using the mouse 4, the window displayed first in the album creation process is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10. When the window return button 44 is clicked by the user using the mouse 4, the window displayed in front of the page image list window 40 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10. When the list display button 46 is clicked by the user using the mouse 4, the images (thumbnail images) saved in the image storage location specified by the user are displayed in a list on the display screen of the display device 10.

In this way, the page image addition instruction area 41 and the page image deletion instruction area 42 are displayed (Fig. 3, step 28).

When the user clicks the page image addition instruction area 41 (when the page image addition instruction is given) (YES in step 29), the CPU 2 generates a new page image (step 30). Of course, the already generated page image may be used as the new page image without generating the new page image.

When a new page image is generated or an already generated page image is selected as the new page image, the two pages sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41 (given the page image addition instruction) The display device 10 is controlled by the display control device 9 (second page image display control means) so that a new page image is displayed between the images (step 31). For example, it is assumed that the page image addition instruction area 41 between the page image P2 and the page image P3 is clicked by the user. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, a new page image PA is displayed between the page image P2 and the page image P3 (step 31). A page image addition instruction area 41 is displayed between the new page image PA and the adjacent page image P2 and between the new page image PA and the adjacent page image P3, and the page image is also displayed on the new page image PA. The deletion instruction area 42 is displayed.

In the new page image PA, image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 to which the image is pasted are formed. The image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 formed in the new page image PA are assigned to the first page image P2 included in the two page images P2 and P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41. The image included in at least one of the scene and the scene assigned to the second page image P3 is pasted by the CPU 2 (step 32). As shown in FIG. 6, since the scene S3 is assigned to the page image P2 (first page image), among the images represented by the image file names IMG055 to IMG084 included in the scene S3. The extracted image is pasted in the image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 of the new page image PA. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, since the scene S4 and the scene S5 are assigned to the page image P3 (second page image), they are represented by the image file names IMG085 to IMG106 included in the scene S4. Images or images extracted from the images represented by IMG148 from the image file names IMG107 included in the scene S5 may be pasted to the image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 of the new page image PA. Needless to say, it is preferable that the image attached to the new page image PA is different from the image already attached to the page image P2 or the page image P3.

Since the number of pages of the album has increased due to the addition of the new page image PA in the album information display area 45, the increased number of pages is displayed. When the charge is changed by adding a new page image PA, the changed charge is displayed in the album information display area 45.

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked by the user (when the page image deletion instruction area 42 is given the page image deletion instruction area 42) (YES in step 33 or 34), the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 corresponds to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42. The created page image is deleted from the display screen of the display device 10 by the CPU 2 (page image deletion control means) (step 35). Even if the page image addition instruction area 41 is not clicked (NO in step 29) and the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked (YES in step 34), the page image addition instruction area 41 is clicked. (YES in step 29) Even if the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked (YES in step 33), in any case, the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted. Will be done.

It is assumed that the page image addition instruction area 41 is not clicked (NO in step 29), but the page image deletion instruction area 42 corresponding to the page image P7 is clicked (YES in step 34). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the page image P7 is deleted from the page image list window 40, and the page image P7 is displayed to the right of the page image P6. In this way, the page image P7 is deleted from the display screen of the display device 10 by the CPU 2 (page image deletion control means).

Since the number of pages of the album has decreased due to the deletion of the page image PA, the reduced number of pages is displayed in the album information display area 45. When the charge is also changed by deleting the page image PA, the changed charge is displayed in the album information display area 45.

Similarly, when the page image is deleted after the new page image PA is added, the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted.

According to the first embodiment, since the image included in the scene assigned to either of the two page images sandwiching the new page image is attached to the new page image, the new page image also flows through the two page images. It will be in line with.

[Example 2]
10 to 12 show Example 2.

This embodiment is assigned to the first page image (page image P2 in the above case) included in the two page images sandwiching the new page image when the new page image PA is added as described above. Of the number of images included in the scene and the number of images included in the scene assigned to the second page image (page image P3 in the above case) included in the two page images. ， The image extracted from the scene with the larger number of images is displayed on the new page image PA.

10 and 11 are flowcharts showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The processing of steps 21 to 30 in FIG. 2 is followed by step 31 in FIG.

FIG. 12 shows some of the page images P2, PA and P3 among the page images and the like included in the page image list window 40 of FIG. As described above, a new page image PA is displayed between the page image P2 and the page image P3.

As described above, when the new page image PA is displayed (step 31), it is included in the scene assigned to the first page image P2 of the two page images P2 and P3 sandwiching the new page image PA. The number of images (first number) is calculated by the CPU 2 (step 50). The scene assigned to the first page image is scene S3, and the number of images (first number) included in the scene S3 is equal to the number of image file names IMG055 to IMG084, which is 29. .. Similarly, of the two page images P2 and P3 sandwiching the new page image PA, the number of images (second number) included in the scene assigned to the second page image P3 is calculated by the CPU 2 (the second number). Step 51). The scenes assigned to the second page image P3 are scenes S4 and S5. The number of images included in the scene S4 is 21, which is equal to the number of image file names IMG085 to IMG0106, and the number of images included in the scene S5 is 41, which is equal to the number of image file names IMG107 to IMG148. The number of images (second number) included in the scenes S4 and S5 assigned to the second page image P3 is 62.

The first number and the second number calculated in this way are compared by the CPU 2, and if the first number is equal to or greater than the second number (YES in step 52), the first page image P2 is displayed. An image is extracted by the CPU 2 from the image included in the assigned scene S3 (step 53). The extracted image is pasted by the CPU 2 from the image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 of the new page image PA (FIG. 11, step 54).

When the image included in the scene S3 assigned to the first page image P2 is attached to the new page image PA, the CPU 2 re-extracts the image attached to the first page image P2. (Step 55). Since the image pasted on the first page image P2 and the image pasted on the new page image PA are both images included in the scene S3, the pasted images are unified and the pasting of similar images is prevented. For example. The new page image PA and the first page image P2 may be regarded as one page image, and the images to be attached to the page image PA and P2 may be simultaneously extracted from the images included in the scene S3.

If the second number is larger than the first number (YES in step 58), the CPU 2 extracts an image from the image included in the scene S4 or the scene S5 assigned to the second page image P3 (YES in step 58). Step 59). The extracted image is pasted by the CPU 2 from the image pasting areas Ar1 to Ar6 of the new page image PA (FIG. 11, step 60).

When the image included in the scene S4 or the scene S5 assigned to the first page image P2 is attached to the new page image PA, the extraction of the image attached to the second page image P3 is performed by the CPU2. Is done again by (step 61). Since the image pasted on the second page image P3 and the image pasted on the new page image PA are both images included in the scene S4 or the scene S5, the pasted images are unified and similar images are used. This is to prevent sticking. The new page image PA and the second page image P3 may be regarded as one page image, and the images to be attached to the page images PA and P3 may be simultaneously extracted from the images included in the scene S4 or the scene S5. ..

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked (YES in step 56), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted (step 57).

According to the second embodiment, among the first page image and the second page image included in the two page images, the number of images included in the scene assigned to the first page image and the second page. Of the number assigned to the image, the image extracted from the scene with the larger number of images is pasted on the new page image. Since scenes with a large number of images are considered to be important scenes, images of important scenes will be attached to new page images.

[Example 3]
FIG. 13 shows Example 3 and is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The process shown in FIG. 13 is also performed following the process from step 21 in FIG. 2 to step 30 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, which is enlarged as compared with FIG. 8, when the page image addition instruction area 41 between the page image P2 and the page image P3 is clicked, these two page images P2 and the page are clicked. A new page image PA is displayed between the image P3 and the image P3 (step 31).

In order to attach an image to the new page image PA, the CPU 2 extracts the images included in the scenes assigned to the two page images P2 and the page image P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41 ( Step 71). Since the scene S3 is assigned to the page image P2 and the scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the page image P3, the images included in these scenes S4, S5 and S6 are extracted by the CPU 2. Evaluate the image quality, brightness, etc. of an image, detect the main subject contained in the image or image with a high evaluation value (image evaluation value), evaluate the image quality, brightness, position, etc. of the main subject, and evaluate it. It is extracted from an image with a high value (subject evaluation value), an image with no bias in the shooting date and time, etc., but is assigned to at least one of the two page images P2 and the page image P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41. As long as the image contained in the scene is extracted, it may be extracted based on any extraction algorithm. Further, of the two page images P2 and the page image P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41, one of the scenes S3 or the scenes S4 and S5 assigned to one of the page images P2 or the page image P3. The included image may be extracted and attached to a new page image. Further, of the two page images P2 and the page image P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41, one page image P3 is assigned a plurality of scenes S4 and S5, and the plurality of scenes are assigned. Images may be extracted from both S4 and S5, or images may be extracted from any one of the plurality of scenes S4 and S5.

When the image is extracted, the extracted image is attached to the new page image PA by the CPU 2 (step 72).

Further, since the new page image PA is added, the CPU 2 re-extracts the two page images P2 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41 and the images attached to the page images P3 (step 73). .. Since the scene S3 is assigned to the page image P2, it is extracted from the images included in the scene S3, and the extracted image is newly attached to the page image P2. Needless to say, the image already attached to the page image P2 is deleted. Since the scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the page 3, the images are extracted from the images included in the scenes S4 or S5, and the extracted images are newly attached to the page image P3. However, it is not necessary to extract the images attached to the two page images P2 and the page image P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41 again.

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked by the user (YES in step 74), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted by the CPU 2 (step 75).

According to the third embodiment, the image included in the scene assigned to the two page images sandwiching the new page image is attached to the new page image, so that the flow of the image is prevented from being interrupted. NS.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The process shown in FIG. 14 is also performed following the process from step 21 in FIG. 2 to step 30 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, which is enlarged as compared with FIG. 8, when the page image addition instruction area 41 between the page image P2 and the page image P3 is clicked, these two page images P2 and the page are clicked. A new page image PA is displayed between the image P3 and the image P3 (step 81).

Then, the scene assigned to the first page image P2 included in the two page images and the scene assigned to the second page image P3 included in the two page images are the first page images. P2, the new page image PA and the second page image are divided into a first scene, a second scene, and a second scene by the CPU 2 so as to correspond to each of the PA and the second page image (step 82). Since the scene S3 is assigned to the first page image P2 and the scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the second page image, the first page image P2 is divided into three scenes S3, S4 and S5. Of the three scenes S3, S4 and S5, scene S3 is assigned to the first page image P2 as the first scene, scene S4 is assigned to the new page image PA as the second scene, and scene S5 is the third. Is assigned to the second page image P3 as the scene of. In this way, the scene assigned to the page image is changed.

Figure 15 shows an example of a page image table in which the assigned scene has been changed.

Scene S3, scene S4, and scene S5 are assigned to the page image P2, the page image PA, and the page image P3 as the first scene, the second scene, and the third scene, respectively.

Returning to FIG. 14, the first page image P2 is generated using the image included in the scene S3 (first scene) assigned to the first page image P2 (assigned to the first page image P2). An image extracted from the image included in the scene S3 is attached) (step 83). Similarly, a new page image PA is generated using the image included in the scene S4 (second scene) assigned to the new page image PA (extracted from the image included in the scene S4 assigned to the new page image PA). (Step 84), a second page image P3 is generated using the image included in the scene S5 assigned to the second page image P3 (assigned to the second page image P3). An image extracted from the image included in the scene S5 is attached) (step 85).

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked by the user (YES in step 86), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted by the CPU 2 (step 87).

According to the fourth embodiment, since a new page image or the like is generated by being divided into a first scene, a second scene, and a third scene, a new page image or the like is generated along the flow of the scene.

[Example 5]
FIG. 16 shows Example 5, and is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The process shown in FIG. 16 is also performed following the process from step 21 in FIG. 2 to step 30 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, which is enlarged as compared with FIG. 8, when the page image addition instruction area 41 between the page image P2 and the page image P3 is clicked, these two page images P2 and the page are clicked. A new page image PA is displayed between the image P3 and the image P3 (step 91).

As shown in FIG. 6, one scene S3 is assigned to the first page image P2 included in the two page images P2 and the page image P3, and the second page image P2 and the page image P3 include the first scene S3. Two (plural) scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the page image P3 of 2. Since a plurality of scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the second page image P3, some scenes among the plurality of scenes are assigned to the second page image or the new page image by the CPU2 (the second page image P3 is assigned a plurality of scenes S4 and S5. Step 92). For example, scene S4 is assigned to a new page image PA and scene S5 is assigned to a second page image. A new page image PA is generated by the CPU 2 using the image included in the scene S4 assigned to the new page image PA, and the second page is generated using the image included in the scene S5 assigned to the second page image P2. The image P2 is generated by the CPU 2 (step 93).

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked by the user (YES in step 94), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted by the CPU 2 (step 95).

In the above embodiment, of the plurality of scenes S4 and S5 assigned to the second page image P2 included in the two page images P2 and P3, some scenes are set to the second page image P2 or a new page. A second page image P2 or a new page image PA is generated by assigning to the image PA and using the image included in each assigned scene. However, when a plurality of scenes are assigned to the first page image P1 included in the two page images P2 and P3, a part of the assigned scenes is selected as the first page. The first page image P1 or the new page image PA may be generated by assigning to the image P2 or the new page image PA and using the images included in each assigned scene. Further, some of the scenes S3, S4 and S5 assigned to the two page images P2 and P3 are assigned to the first page image P2, the second page image P3 or the new page image PA. , The first page image P2, the second page image P3, or a new page image PA may be generated using the images included in each assigned scene.

According to the fifth embodiment, since some scenes of the plurality of scenes assigned to the first page image and the like included in the two page images sandwiching the new page image are assigned to the new page image and the like, the scene becomes It is prevented from changing.

[Example 6]
17 and 18 show Example 6.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The process shown in FIG. 17 is also performed following the process from step 21 in FIG. 2 to step 30 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, which is enlarged as compared with FIG. 8, when the page image addition instruction area 41 between the page image P2 and the page image P3 is clicked, these two page images P2 and the page are clicked. A new page image PA is displayed between the image P3 and the image P3 (step 101).

In this embodiment, a plurality of page images including two page images P2 and page images P3 sandwiching the clicked page image addition instruction area 41 are designated by the user using the mouse 4 (page image designation means) ( Step 102). Then, each of the plurality of scenes assigned to the specified plurality of page images is assigned to the plurality of pages and the new page by the CPU 2 (scene allocation means) (step 103).

With reference to FIG. 8, for example, it is assumed that page images P1, P2, P3 and P4 are designated as a plurality of pages. As shown in FIG. 6, scenes S1 and S2 are assigned to the page image P1, scene S3 is assigned to the page image P2, scenes S4 and S5 are assigned to the page image P3, and scene S6 is assigned to the page image P4. Has been done. The scenes S1 to S6 are assigned by the CPU 2 to the plurality of designated page images P1, P2, P3 and P4, and the new page image PA. For example, the page image P1 has a scene S1, the page image P2 has a scene S2, the page image PA has a scene S3, the page image P3 has scenes S4 and S5, and the page image P4 has a scene S6. Assigned.

Figure 18 shows an example of a page image table whose assignment has been changed.

The newly assigned scene as described above is stored corresponding to the page image.

Returning to FIG. 17, a plurality of page images P1, P2, P3 and P4 and a new page image PA are generated by the CPU 2 using the images included in the newly assigned scene (step 104). Since the scene newly assigned to the page image P1 is the scene S1, the image extracted from the image included in the scene S1 is attached to the page image P1 to newly generate the page image P1. Similarly, since the scene newly assigned to the page image P2 is the scene S2, the image extracted from the image included in the scene S2 is attached to the page image P2 to newly generate the page image P2. Since the scene assigned to the new page image PA is the scene S3, the image extracted from the image included in the scene S3 is attached to the new page image PA to generate a new page image PA. Further, since the scenes newly assigned to the page image P3 are the scenes S4 and S5, the image extracted from the image included in the scene S4 or S5 is attached to the page image P3, and the page image P3 is newly generated. Will be done. Since the scene newly assigned to the page image P4 is the scene S6, the image extracted from the image included in the scene S6 is attached to the page image P6, and the page image P6 is newly generated.

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked by the user (YES in step 105), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted by the CPU 2 (step 106).

According to the sixth embodiment, since a plurality of page images are specified and the scenes assigned to the specified plurality of page images are reassigned in the new page image and the specified plurality of page images, the new page image is used. Even if is added, sudden changes in the scene in the scenes assigned in the specified multiple page images are prevented.

[Example 7]
19 to 23 show Example 7.

In this embodiment, a plurality of images are displayed in different areas for each scene.

19 to 21 are flowcharts showing a processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. 19 to 21 correspond to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the same processes as those shown in FIGS. 2 or 3 are designated by the same reference numerals.

A user specifies a storage location for a plurality of images with a mouse 4 or the like (step 21), and the CPU 2 divides the plurality of images stored in the designated storage location into a plurality of scenes (step 22). The number of pages in the album is specified by the user (step 23), and scenes are assigned to each number of pages (step 24). Also in this embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the memory card 12 in which 500 image files are stored is designated as the image storage location, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are also referred to. As described above, it is assumed that scenes are assigned to each of the page image P1 to the page image P10.

A plurality of image files stored in a storage location specified by the user are read by the CPU 2, and a plurality of images (thumbnail images) represented by the read plurality of image files are displayed by the display control device 9 (image display control). It is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 by means) (step 111).

FIG. 22 is an example of the image list window 120 displayed on the display screen of the display device 10.

The image list window 120 contains a plurality of areas 121, 122, and 123. In the area 121, an image (an image represented by the image file names IMG022 to IMG054) included in the scene S3 assigned to the page corresponding to the page image P2 is displayed. In the area 122, the images (images represented by the image file names IMG055 to IMG084) included in the scenes S4 and S5 assigned to the page corresponding to the page image P3 are displayed. The image included in the scene S6 assigned to the page corresponding to the page image P4 (the image represented by the image file names IMG085 to IMG148) is displayed in the area 123. In FIG. 22, the displayed image is represented by a file name for the sake of clarity. Between the area 121 and the area 122, the partition line 131 that separates the area 121 and the area 122 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 by the display control device 9 (partition line display control means) (step 112). .. Similarly, between the area 122 and the area 123, a partition line 132 that separates the area 122 and the area 123 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 by the display control device 9 (partition line display control means).

On the right side of the image list window 120, the up arrow button 125, the scroll button 124, and the down arrow button 126 are displayed. When the up arrow button 125 is clicked by the mouse 4 or the scroll button 124 is dragged upward by the mouse 4, the areas 121, 122 and 123 displayed in the image list window 120 are displayed by the display control device 9. It is moved down as a whole. The images included in the scenes S1 and S2 assigned to the page image P1 before the page image P2 are displayed as being partitioned by a partition line in an area different from the area 121. When the down arrow button 126 is clicked by the mouse 4 or the scroll button 124 is dragged downward by the mouse 4, the areas 121, 122 and 123 displayed in the image list window 120 are displayed by the display control device 9. Moved up overall. The image included in the scene S8 or the like assigned to the page image P6 or the like after the page image P5 is displayed as being partitioned by a partition line in an area different from the area 123.

Of the plurality of images displayed in the image list window 120, the user can specify a desired image by using the mouse 4, and the specified image is attached to the corresponding page image. For example, among the images displayed in the area 122 (images included in the scenes S4 and S5 assigned to the page corresponding to the page image P3 and represented by the image file names IMG055 to IMG084), the image by the user. When the images represented by the file names IMG061, IMG066, IMG072 and IMG073 are specified, as shown in FIG. 7, the page image P2 contains the images represented by these image file names IMG061, IMG066, IMG072 and IMG073. Is affixed by the CPU 2. The same applies to the other areas 121 and 123 and the areas not displayed in the image list window 120.

At the bottom of the image list window 120, a page list display area 127 in which the characters "to page image list" are displayed and a cancel button 128 in which the characters "cancel" are displayed are displayed. When the page list display area 127 is clicked, the page image list window 40 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 as shown in FIG.

As described above, when the user specifies a desired image from the images displayed separately for each area, the image included in the assigned scene is specified (Fig. 20, step 25A). However, the image included in the assigned scene may be extracted by the CPU 2 without being specified by the user. Subsequently, a plurality of page images in which the images included in the assigned scene are attached to the mount image are generated by the CPU 2 (page image generation means) (step 26).

When the page list display area 127 is clicked by the user (YES in step 113), the page image list window 40 is displayed by the display control device 9 (first page image display control means) as shown in FIG. 7. It is displayed on the display screen of. As a result, a plurality of page images P1 to P10 are displayed on the display screen of the display device 10 (step 27). In the page image list window 40, as described above, the page image addition instruction area 41 is displayed between each of the page images P1 to P10, and the page image deletion instruction area 42 corresponds to each of the page images P1 to P10. Is displayed (step 28).

When the page image addition instruction area 41 is clicked (YES in step 29), a new page image is generated by the CPU 2 (FIG. 21 step 30), and the generated new page image is clicked on the page image addition instruction area 41. It is displayed between the two page images that sandwich (step 31). As described above, the image is attached to the new page image (step 32).

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked (YES in step 33), the page image corresponding to the clicked page image is deleted (step 35).

When the list display button 46 included in the page image list window 40 is clicked (YES in step 114), a new page image has been added, so two page images (new page image) sandwiching the added new page image. A partition line is added to partition the area corresponding to the page image adjacent to (step 115). For example, when a new page image PA is added between the page image P2 and the page image P3, as shown in FIG. 23, the area 122 corresponding to the page image P2 and the area 123 corresponding to the page image P3 A partition line 133 is added to partition the space.

According to the seventh embodiment, since the partition line is displayed, the image that can be used for the page image is associated with the page image and can be understood.

[Example 8]
24 to 26 show Example 8.

FIG. 24 shows a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. The process shown in FIG. 24 is performed following the process from step 21 in FIG. 2 to step 30 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of page images P1 to P10 are displayed (step 141), and a page image addition instruction area 41 and a page image deletion instruction area 42 are displayed (step 142).

If the page image addition instruction area 41 is not clicked (NO in step 143) and the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked (YES in step 144) (the page image addition instruction area 41 is clicked and the page image deletion instruction area 41 is clicked). Area 42 may be clicked), and the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted by the CPU 2 (step 145).

FIG. 25 shows the page images P6 to P8 of the page images P1 to P10 displayed in the page image list window 40 in an enlarged manner as compared with FIG. 7.

For example, if the page image deletion instruction area 42 displayed on the upper right of the page image P7 is clicked, the page image P7 is deleted.

When the page image is deleted, the scene assigned to the deleted page image is added to at least one of the first page image and the second page image sandwiching the deleted page image by the CPU2. Additionally assigned by (step 146). For example, if the page image P7 is deleted, as shown in FIG. 25, at least one of the page image P6 and the page image P8 sandwiching the page image P7 has a scene assigned to the page image P7. Will be added. As shown in FIG. 6, the scenes assigned to the page image P7 are scenes S9 and S10, the scenes assigned to the page image P6 are scenes S8, and the scenes assigned to the page image P8 are scenes. It is S11. If the scene assigned to the page image P7 is additionally assigned to the page image P6, the scenes assigned to the page image P6 are scenes S8, S9 and S10 as shown in FIG. 26, and the page image The scene assigned to P8 does not change in scene S11. If the scene assigned to the page image P7 is additionally assigned to the page image P8, the scenes assigned to the page image P8 are scenes S9, S10 and S11, and the scenes assigned to the page image P6 are scenes. It does not change in S8. Of the scenes S9 and S10 assigned to the page image P7, if the scene S9 is additionally assigned to the page image P6 and the scene S10 is additionally assigned to the page image P8, it is assigned to the page image P6. The scenes are scenes S8 and S9, and the scenes assigned to the page image P8 are scenes S10 and S11.

When the scenes assigned in this way are added, the image included in the already assigned scene and the image included in the added scene are used to sandwich the deleted page image. Of the page image and the second page image, the page image to which the scene is added is generated by the CPU 2 (step 147).

According to the eighth embodiment, even if the page image is deleted, it is possible to prevent a sudden change in the scenes of the two page images sandwiching the deleted page image.

[Example 9]
27 and 28 show Example 9.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. This flowchart is started when the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked. FIG. 28 is an example of a page image table.

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked, the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted (step 151). If the scene assigned to the deleted page image was also assigned to a page image other than the deleted page image (YES in step 152), it was assigned to the deleted page image. The image included in the scene is extracted by the CPU 2, and another page image is regenerated using the extracted image (step 153).

For example, as shown in FIG. 28, it is assumed that the page image P7 is assigned the scenes S9 and S10, and the page image P8 is assigned the scenes S10 and S11. The scene S10 is assigned to both the page image P7 and the page image P8. If the page image P7 is deleted in such a state, an image is extracted by the CPU 2 from the image included in the scene S10 assigned to the deleted page image P7, and another page is used using the extracted image. Image P8 is regenerated.

According to the ninth embodiment, an image is extracted from the image included in the scene assigned to the deleted page image, and another page image is generated using the extracted image. There is a possibility that a good image will be re-extracted and pasted.

[Example 10]
29 and 30 show Example 10.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a part of the processing procedure of the page image display control system 1. This flowchart is started when the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked.

When the page image deletion instruction area 42 is clicked, the page image corresponding to the clicked page image deletion instruction area 42 is deleted (step 161). The user designates a plurality of page images including the two page images sandwiching the deleted page image by using the mouse 4 (page image designation means) (step 162). However, a plurality of page images may be determined by the CPU 2 without being specified by the user.

Then, the process of reassigning each of the scenes assigned to the deleted page image and the plurality of scenes assigned to the specified (determined) page images to the specified (determined) page images. Is performed by the CPU 2 (step 163). Using the images included in the reassigned scene, each page image of the plurality of designated (determined) page images is generated by the CPU 2 (step 164).

It is assumed that the page image P7 is deleted and the page images P5, P6, P8, P9 and P10 are designated as a plurality of page images. As shown in FIG. 6, the page image P5 is assigned the scene S7, the page image P6 is assigned the scene S8, the page image P7 is assigned the scenes S9 and S10, and the page image P8 is assigned the scene S11. It is assumed that the page image P9 is assigned the scene S12, and the page image P10 is assigned the scenes S13, S14, and S15. Then, the scenes S7 to S15 assigned to the page images P5 to the page image P10 are reassigned to the plurality of page images P5, P6, P8, P9 and P10.

Figure 30 is an example of a page image table with reassigned scenes.

Before the page image P7 is deleted, the scenes S7 to S15 assigned to the page image P10 from the page image P5 are reassigned to the designated page images P5, P6, P8, P9 and P10. Scenes S7 and S8 are assigned to page image P5, scene S9 is assigned to page image P6, scene S10 is assigned to page image P8, scenes S11 and S12 are assigned to page image P9, and page image P9 is assigned. Scenes S13, S14 and S15 are assigned to P10. Each page image P5, P6, P8, P9 and P10 are regenerated using the image included in the newly assigned scene.

According to the tenth embodiment, even if the page image is deleted, the scenes assigned to the plurality of images are reassigned, so that a sudden scene change of the plurality of page images can be prevented.
