20080256450 | INFORMATION PRESENTING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PRESENTING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - In an information presenting apparatus, information associated with each of one or more motion images stored in a storage apparatus is displayed at a location corresponding to a file production time in the form of a calendar view. A plurality of frames of representative images are extracted from each motion image in accordance with a specified frame extraction method. Thumbnail images of the respective extracted representative images are produced, and each thumbnail image is related to a playback position in the motion image. The resultant thumbnail images are managed as a set of motion image thumbnail images in accordance with a production time of the motion image. Information associated with each motion image is displayed at a location corresponding to the production time of the motion image in the form of the calendar view. Thumbnail images associated with each motion image are displayed in an expanded form in the order of time. | 10-16-2008 |
20090184982 | PROGRAM, IMAGE DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS - A program causes a computer or similar apparatus to execute processing to match image data with log data on the basis of date and time information, wherein the image data contains appended date and time information indicating the time of image acquisition, and the log data contains date and time information associated with position information. As a result, position information is associated with image data. Display processing is subsequently executed to display, on a map image, acquisition location presentation images that indicate the acquisition locations of the image data according to the respective position information associated thereto. In accordance with correction input in the form of a time value, correction processing is then executed to correct associated position information for all image data specified for processing and additionally update the map image to reflect such corrections. The association results are then applied and saved in accordance with save command input. | 07-23-2009 |
