Embodiment
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing embodiments of the present invention are described.
(the 1st execution mode)
Fig. 1 illustrates the 1st execution mode of the present invention, is the square frame pie graph of the basic comprising of presentation video display unit.
In Fig. 1, administer the control of this image display device integral body as the central processing unit (CPU) 11 of display control unit.The operating portion 12 of the input usefulness of mouse, keyboard and touch panel, various switches etc. and be connected with this CPU11 as the EEPROM13 of recording medium of the control program that stores this image display device.And hard disk 16, buffer storage 17, image processing part 18 and display part 19 etc. are connected with above-mentioned CPU11 by bus 15.
Above-mentioned hard disk 16 constitutes the image storage part of the preservation usefulness that records a plurality of images.The image that is recorded in this hard disk 16 is read out, and is deployed on the buffer storage 17.
Above-mentioned image processing part 18 is to be used for being presented at image on the above-mentioned display part 19, being recorded in the hard disk 19 or being read out and being deployed in that image on the buffer storage 17 carries out that γ proofreaies and correct and the image processing part of the various processing of decompression etc.
And image processing part 18 has respectively: the 18a of time showing portion shows the time shaft of representing specified time limit as the time ring; And image displaying part 18b, show image captured or that write down.The details aftermentioned.
Above-mentioned display part 19 shows by above-mentioned image processing part 18 handled images.This display part 19 is made of for example LCD etc.
And, in the following description, suppose that operating portion 12 uses mouse.
Below, with reference to the flow chart of Fig. 2, the action that the searching picture of the image display device in the present embodiment is shown describes.Following processing is mainly carried out the control of 26a of time showing portion and image displaying part 26b by CPU11.
At first, in step S1,, as shown in Figure 3, the time ring is presented on the display part 19 by the operation of the not shown mouse in the operating portion 12.Time ring be instigate 1 circle with constant during the corresponding time shaft that forms ring-type.This ring is a general name time, particularly as detailed below, and corresponding year ring, month ring, day ring and encircle constantly.These time rings are shown by the 26a of time showing portion.
At first, as the time ring of initial picture, a year ring 21 is presented on the display part 19.And, encircling the 21 internal labeling titles of an emperor's reign year.This, ring 21 for example showed that by 6 times of " 1999 ", " 2000 ", " 2001 ", " 2002 ", " 2003 ", " 2004 " 22 constitute year in Fig. 3 in year.And, show these years 22 near, outer circumferential side for example, mark becoming like that as hereinafter described is used to use the index 23 of the target of click respectively.And, in this initial picture, do not show photographs as yet.
And, in Fig. 3, show year ring of " 1999 "~" 2004 ", yet be not limited thereto, can pass through the operation of the not shown action button in the operating portion 12 etc., switch to encircling in year of other titles of an emperor's reign.And the title of an emperor's reign of institute's mark also was not limited to for 6 times.
Then, in step S2,, cursor 20 is moved on the special time (being year here) by mouse action.Here as an example, select the year of expression 2003 " 2003 " to show 22.
Then, when cursor 20 moved on the index 23 selected year in above-mentioned steps S2, CPU11 detected and has specified 2003, in step S3, switches to display frame shown in Figure 4.Here, CPU11 be the center with the year (being " 2003 " in the case) of the position of having moved cursor 20, and the time of this year ring as new time ring, is shown and encircles 31 by the moon that forms ring-type.The formation of this month ring 31 is the same with above-mentioned year ring 21, is made of following: near the index 33 of institute's mark from the mark " Jan " in January to 12 months moon demonstration 32 of the mark " Dec " in December and these months demonstration 32.
And, the moon ring 31 outer circumferential side show that the image corresponding with its time on photography date is as downscaled images 35.Downscaled images 35 is not 1, but shows as many group.This downscaled images 35 is so long as in the upper limit number of the display image number that determines separately, just show all images.Surpass under the situation of upper limit number at the image that becomes display object, can begin preferential demonstration from photography old image of time on date.These downscaled images are shown by image displaying part 26b.
In step S4, as shown in Figure 4, further click by the 20 selected years of cursor (in the case for " 2003 ") by mouse action.
Thus, in step S5, CPU11 moves the moon ring 31 of year and amplifies and be shown as the picture central authorities that are positioned at display part 19 as shown in Figure 5.Encircle for 31 amplification demonstration while with this month, also will be presented at the 35 amplification demonstrations of month downscaled images of the outer circumferential side of ring 31.And, at this moment, the index part counter-rotating that shows 22 year of representing clicked situation is shown as 23a.
In addition, in Fig. 5,, will show lightly, and perhaps use fine rule to show as year ring 21 of original time ring with respect to encircling 31 by the moon that is presented at picture central authorities.
Then, in step S6, judge that whether cursor 20 being aimed at this year ring 21 that shows lightly clicks.Here, not clicking under year situation of ring 21 ("No"), forward step S7 to.On the other hand, when having clicked year ring 21 in above-mentioned steps S6 ("Yes"), forward step S1 once more to, the year ring that turns back to as original time ring 21 is that main image shows (with reference to Fig. 3).In the case, cancellation encircles 31 demonstration as the moon of lower floor.
In step S7, suppose that cursor 20 moves to the particular month in month ring 31.For example, as shown in Figure 6, the moon that moves to " Aug. " that represent August shows the index 33a of 32a.
So in step S8, CPU11 is the center with this index 33a, as the moon that cursor 20 moves to, be the time ring of " Aug. " in the case, encircle as the new time and to show to encircle 41 the day that forms ring-type.The formation of this day ring 41 is the same with month ring 31 with above-mentioned year ring 21, is made of following: 1 month day demonstration 42 of the mark " 31 " from 1 day mark " 1 " by 31 days and near the index 43 of institute's mark these days demonstration 42.
And, encircling 41 outer circumferential side in day, image that will be corresponding with its time on photography date is that downscaled images 45 shows as one group of downscaled images.This downscaled images 45 is so long as in the upper limit number of the display image number that determines separately, just can once show all images.And, show the downscaled images 35 that belongs to the moon of selecting by the cursor 20 in addition moon by different way.Here, the demonstration than this moon (in the case for being " Aug. " August) shows lightly.And in Fig. 6, the image of being represented by frame of broken lines 35 is the downscaled images that belong to the selected month moon in addition.Thus, even show special time (being the moon here) downscaled images in addition simultaneously, also can distinguish the downscaled images of particular month and other months simply.
Under this state, in step S9, suppose by mouse action, click the particular month of selecting by cursor 20 (being " Aug. " in the case).Thus, CPU11 as shown in Figure 7, serves as main being shown enlarged on the display part 19 to encircle 41 the day of particular month in step S10.
Encircle for 41 amplification demonstration while with this day, will be presented at the 45 amplification demonstrations of day downscaled images of the outer circumferential side of ring 41.And, at this moment, represent that the index that shows 32a the moon of clicked situation is shown as 33a by part counter-rotating.
And, in Fig. 7,, encircle 31 before making the moon of one deck and show lightly with respect to the day that is presented at picture central authorities encircling 41.
Then, in step S11, judge that whether cursor 20 being aimed at this month ring 31 that shows lightly clicks.Here, not clicking under month situation of ring 31 ("No"), forward step S12 to.On the other hand, when having clicked month ring 31 in above-mentioned steps S11 ("Yes"), forward step S5 once more to, the moon ring of one deck 31 is that main picture shows (with reference to Fig. 5) before turning back to.In the case, cancellation is as the day of one deck is encircled 41 demonstration down.
In step S12, suppose the particular day of selecting in day ring 41, moving cursor 20.Here, for example, although not shown, yet move to expression 21 days " 21 " day show 43 index 43.So, CPU11 in step S13, with above-mentioned year ring the same with the situation of month ring, be the center with the index of " 21 ", the time ring of " 21 " that move to as cursor 20 day shows the moment ring (not shown) that forms ring-type.This formation of encircling constantly is the same with day ring 41 with above-mentioned month ring 31, is made of following: 24 hours 1 day moment demonstration from mark " 1 " to mark " 24 " and near the index of institute's mark these days demonstration 42.And at the outer circumferential side that encircles constantly, image that will be corresponding with its photography moment is shown as one group with the form of downscaled images.This downscaled images is so long as in the upper limit number of the display image number that determines separately, just can show all images.And, can show the downscaled images that belongs to the day of selecting by cursor 20 in addition day.In the case, the demonstration of (being 21 days " 21 " in the case) shows lightly than this day, makes difference become clear and definite.
Then, in step S14,, click the particular day of selecting by cursor 20 (being " 21 " in the case) by mouse action.Thus, in step S15, as shown in Figure 8, the moment ring 51 that makes particular day is that main the amplification on display part 19 shows.
As mentioned above, constantly encircling 51 is made of following: 24 hours 1 day moment demonstration 52 from mark " 1 " to mark " 24 " and these show constantly 52 near the index 53 of institute's mark.Then, encircle amplification of 51 constantly with this and show simultaneously, also make to be presented at the downscaled images 55 of encircling 51 outer circumferential side constantly and to amplify and show.And, at this moment, make the index part counter-rotating that shows 42a day of the clicked situation of expression be shown as 43a.
And, in Fig. 8,, make day ring 41 of preceding one deck show lightly with respect to the moment ring 51 that is presented at picture central authorities, encircle 31 by the two-layer moon before making and show lightlyer.
Then, in step S16, judge whether to show cursor 20 and this light to encircle day that 41 aim at and click.Here, when having clicked day ring 41 ("Yes"), forward above-mentioned steps S10 to, the day ring of one deck 41 is that main picture shows (with reference to Fig. 7) before turning back to.In the case, cancellation is as the demonstration of the moment ring 51 of one deck down.On the other hand, in above-mentioned steps S16, do not clicking under day situation of ring 41 ("No"), forwarding above-mentioned steps S15 to and wait for.
Then, in this program implementation, when having implemented the Interrupt Process of " retrieval finishes ", abort process, this EP (end of program).
, in the above-described embodiment, successively read, switch image demonstration and operation, yet also can in display part 19, show all layers simultaneously from encircling 21 year.
Fig. 9 illustrates to encircle the figure of 4 layers of whole example that shows of ring of ring constantly from year.
In the case, make undermost moment ring 51 show the most densely, along with the layer that encircles becomes the upper strata and shows lightly.Then, encircle the ring that selected index is one deck under the center deployment with the upper strata.That is, in Fig. 9, be the center with the index of " 2003 " → " Aug. " → " 21 ", launch the ring (month ring 31, day ring 41, constantly encircle 51) of each lower floor.
CPU11 perhaps detects the clicked situation of privileged site of the display frame in the display part 19 by the switching of the not shown console switch in the operating portion 12, and the integral body of carrying out this Fig. 9 shows and the demonstration of above-mentioned each layer (switching of Fig. 3~Fig. 8).For example, in the picture that is showing each ring, clicked the position that does not show any ring as yet, when perhaps cursor is shifted outward toward picture, all layers of CPU11 displayed map 9.Then,, clicked certain of desired ring when a bit, the picture central authorities of the display part 19 that the ring of being clicked is presented at amplify when showing in the whole picture of layer.
And, be applied at this image display device under the situation of camera, can use the scroll bar of the dolly-out,ing dolly-back of ZSW for example/wide-angle, switch the size that above-mentioned ring shows.Under the situation of camera, ZSW is used for subject when photography focal length amplifies/dwindles, yet, when the reconstruction of image, do not use usually.Therefore, if when the reconstruction of image, make the switching manipulation switch of display image have other function, then can not increase number of components.
Certainly, the display changeover method of the demonstration of the integral body of layer and each layer is not limited thereto.
Like this, according to the 1st execution mode, show the time ring of expression year, month, day, each self-corresponding month, day, ring are constantly shown as lower floor, the outside at the ring of correspondence shows downscaled images, thereby can easily retrieve desirable image from a plurality of images.
And, can observe different a plurality of time rings simultaneously.And,, can show the downscaled images that the time is tightened by switching and demonstration time ring.So the photography time on date is extremely effective as the image retrieval parameter.
And when the demonstration switching of time ring, at first, the indication of moving according to cursor repeats to show new time ring on original time ring, then, shows new time ring according to clicking to indicate to amplify.Thus, can carry out the switching of time ring, can offer the operator to brisk operation sense with continuous feeling.
(the 2nd execution mode)
Below the 2nd execution mode of the present invention is described.
Above-mentioned the 1st execution mode utilizes downscaled images to retrieve desirable image from a plurality of images that write down, and the 2nd execution mode utilizes downscaled images to show as slide demonstration.Slide demonstration is meant image is in proper order automatically switched the mode that shows according to the rules successively.
In addition, in following the 2nd execution mode, because the formation of the image display device of the 1st execution mode that the formation of image display device and elemental motion and Fig. 1 are extremely shown in Figure 9 and move identical, thereby for these formations and action, to be marked with same reference marks with a part, omit its diagram and explanation, only the explanation to the difference action describes.
Figure 10 describes the 2nd execution mode of the present invention, is illustrated in and constantly encircles the example that 51 outer circumferential side shows the image that the slide demonstration that dwindled is used.
In Figure 10, carry out image A 55a, image B 55b that slide demonstration shows, image C 55c, image D55d ... be presented at and encircle 51 outer circumferential side constantly.And, be presented at constantly encircle interior all sides of 51 stay white digital 1 (61 1), 2 (61 2), 3 (61 3), 4 (61 4) ... be to be used for the numeral that the Displaying timer to the image that shows as slide demonstration describes, these numerals are not presented on the real screen.
Below, with reference to the flow chart of Figure 11, the action of the slide demonstration of the image display device in the 2nd execution mode of the present invention is described.The action of following slide demonstration is controlled according to control program by CPU11.
The slide demonstration of present embodiment not only switches image one by one and shows, and shown size of images begun to show from small size, increase gradually, make it again at last to show for a short time, and for a plurality of images, it begins to show in the timing staggering.
And the timing that enters this slide demonstration is for example carried out by the operation of the slide demonstration start button in the operating portion 12 etc.Perhaps, can as above-mentioned the 1st execution mode,, when through certain hour, as screen protection program, begin slide demonstration carrying out image demonstration retrieval midway.In the case, be presented at ring in the current demonstration, for example under the situation of Figure 10, show for the image of the outer circumferential side of ring constantly is used as slide demonstration.
And the image switching in the slide demonstration is regularly carried out according to the not shown counter in the CPU or the action of timer.
When carry out slide demonstration begin to indicate the time, at first, in step S21, execution subroutine " display image sizing handle " really.
Figure 12 is the flow chart that the detailed action to this subprogram " display image sizing handle " really describes.
When entering this subprogram, in step S31, make counter st initialization.The number of this counter st and number of steps 61 shown in Figure 10 1, 61 2, 61 3... the subscript correspondence, be (1,2,3 ...) number.
Then, in step S32, at the image that carries out slide demonstration (image A, image B, image C, image D ...), set just this new picture number (n).For image A, image B, image C, image D ..., set just this new picture number (n) according to original picture number (q).
This is because being set at new picture number (n) since 1 numbering, thereby obtains with calculating formula n=q-p+1.Here, p is the original picture number of slide demonstration initial image.Figure 13 illustrates the object lesson of the relation of original picture number q and new picture number n.For example, begin in image A under the situation of slide demonstration from original picture number q=20, because p=20, thereby n=q-19, image A is n=1, image B is n=2 ...
In step S33, calculate the decision content r of the size that is used to determine following display image according to calculating formula r=st-n-2.Then, according to this decision content r, determine the size of display image by the later judgement of step S34.
Below, the size of images that shows with slide demonstration is determined that order describes.
Figure 14 determines that according to the size of counter st in the slide demonstration and display image the relation of the decision content r of usefulness represents the table of the size of display image.
In the figure, decision content r is as the step S34 in the flow chart of aftermentioned Figure 12, S35, S37, S39 are illustrated, is the value that is used for determining the size of display image.That is, be to be big image under 0 the situation at decision content r, be to be middle image under 1 the situation at the absolute value of decision content r, be to be little image under 2 the situation at the absolute value of decision content r, and, so long as its above value or its following value, display image not then.
The slide demonstration of present embodiment is not that a plurality of images are shown with same size, but the doubling of the image of big image, middle image, these 3 kinds of sizes of little image is presented on the same picture.
The picture of situation that Figure 15 illustrates the counter st=5 of Figure 14 shows example.As shown in figure 15, suppose that image C 55c shows as maximum sized image (big image).Then, picture number than the previous image B 55b of this image C 55c and picture number than above-mentioned image C 55c after one image D55d show as the size image littler (middle image) than image C.And, picture number than the previous image A 55a of above-mentioned image B 55b and picture number than above-mentioned image D55d after one image E55e show as the image (little image) of the size minimum littler than image B and image D.
Then, in these image A~E, on as the image A 55a of little image and image E55e, show as in the image B 55b and the image D55d of image, and be presented at topmost as the image C 55c of big image.That is, be that main image shows with full-size, the image of numbering before and after it also reduces size stage by stage and shows.
And, display image except by amplify and dwindle switch, can also switch by fading in, fading out.
And, with regard to the display position of display image, as be same image, then amplify and dwindle demonstration in same position basically.Yet, be not limited thereto, little image, middle image, big image can be shown in the precalculated position respectively.That is,, also can always make the fixed-site that shows little image, middle image, big image even image is changed.
In step S34~step S40, determine each image (A, B, C ...) display size.Shown in the table of Figure 14, each image is according to the r value decision display size of correspondence.Below specifically describe.
In step S34, judge that at first whether decision content r is more than or equal to 3.Here, when decision content r ("Yes") more than or equal to 3 the time, owing to do not show as little image, thereby forward aftermentioned step S44 to.On the other hand, when decision content r ("No") less than 3 the time, forward step S35 to.
In this step S35, judge whether the absolute value of decision content r is 2.Here, when the absolute value of decision content r is 2 ("Yes"), forward step S36 to,, select little size of images as display size.Afterwards, forward step S41 to.On the other hand, in above-mentioned steps S35, not ("No") under 2 the situation at the absolute value of decision content r, forward step S37 to.
In step S37, judge whether the absolute value of decision content r is 1.Here, when the absolute value of decision content r is 1 ("Yes"), forward step S38 to, as display size, size of images in the selection.Afterwards, forward step S41 to.On the other hand, in above-mentioned steps S37, not ("No") under 1 the situation at the absolute value of decision content r, forward step S39 to.
In this step S39, judge whether decision content r is 0.Here, when decision content r is 0 ("Yes"), forward step S40 to,, select big size of images as display size.Afterwards, forward step S41 to.On the other hand, in above-mentioned steps S39, not ("No") under 0 the situation at decision content r, skips steps S40 and forward step S41 to.
Then, in step S41, judge whether decision content r is-3.Here, when decision content r is-3 ("Yes"), enter step S42.In step S42, judge the image that whether neither one will show on the picture by this counter st value.When image that neither one will show ("Yes"), use RET to turn back to step S22.In Figure 14, be under the situation of final image at image F for example, by the calculating up to st=10, definite processing of display size finishes, and owing to the calculating that st=11 is later is nonsensical, thereby gets back to step S22 by RET.When having at least one display image ("No"), forward step S42 to, the value of counter st is increased progressively.Afterwards, forward above-mentioned steps S32 to.
On the other hand, in above-mentioned steps S41, when decision content r is not-3 ("No"), forward step S43 to.
In step S43, judge whether the image that shows as slide demonstration is final image.Picture number (q) is a final image for the image of maximum numbering.Here, under the situation that also is not final image ("No"), forward step S44 to, the said n value is increased progressively.That is, as image A, image B, image C ... switch the object images of size discrimination like that, successively.Afterwards, forward above-mentioned steps S33 to.By contrast, being judged to be in above-mentioned steps S43 is ("Yes") under the situation of final image, forwards step S45 to.
In above subprogram, at the inner table that generates Figure 14 of CPU.
Turn back to the flow chart of Figure 11.In step S22, the table that generates according to the subprogram of above-mentioned steps S21 shows processing.In step S22, the image of size is implemented the tone of image, gray scale, γ and proofreaies and correct etc. in image processing part 18 signal processing, and the known demonstration processing of amplifications, decompression etc. have been determined by " display image sizing handle " really, afterwards, on display part 19, show with specified size.Then, with picture according to the rules the time, for example switch about 0.5 second in, carry out slide demonstration and show.
Then, in step S23, judge whether finish slide demonstration.Here, under the situation of also proceeding slide demonstration ("No"), get back to above-mentioned steps S22, repeat later processing.On the other hand, under the situation that finishes slide demonstration, this EP (end of program).
Like this, according to the 2nd execution mode owing to make shown size of images time to time change, even thereby when watching slide demonstration, also searched targets image easily.
