Album generating apparatus, album generating method and program
First Claim
1. An album generating apparatus, comprising:
- an image storing section for storing images by correlating with image capturing time and image capturing position of the images;
a importance judging section for judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in said image storing section;
an image capturing time sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in said image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position;
an image capturing position sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page of the album based on the image capturing position stored in said image-storing section when said importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing position is greater than that of the image capturing time; and
a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted per page by said image capturing time sorting section or said image capturing position sorting section to each page of the album.

Abstract
There is provided an album generating apparatus for generating an album whose pages are adequately allocated in accordance to image capturing position and time. The album generating apparatus has an image storing section for storing images by correlating with the image capturing time and position of the images, a importance judging section for judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in the image storing section, an image capturing time sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in the image storing section per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in the image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position, an image capturing position sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in the image storing section per page of the album based on the image capturing position stored in the image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing position is greater than that of the image capturing time and a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted per page by the image capturing time sorting section or the image capturing position sorting section to each page of the album.

-
an image storing section for storing images by correlating with image capturing time and image capturing position of the images;
a importance judging section for judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in said image storing section;
an image capturing time sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in said image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position;
an image capturing position sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page of the album based on the image capturing position stored in said image-storing section when said importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing position is greater than that of the image capturing time; and
a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted per page by said image capturing time sorting section or said image capturing position sorting section to each page of the album. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. An album generating method, comprising:
-
an image storing step of storing images by correlating with image capturing time and image capturing position of the images;
a importance judging step of judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in said image storing step;
an image capturing time sorting step of sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing step per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in said image storing step when it is judged in said importance judging step that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position;
an image capturing position sorting step of sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing step per page of the album based on the image capturing position stored in said image storing step when it is judged in said importance judging step that the importance of the image capturing position is greater than that of the image capturing time; and
a layout determining step of laying out the images sorted per page in said image capturing time sorting step or said image capturing position sorting step to each page of the album.

7. A program for an album generating apparatus for generating an album, operating said album generating apparatus so as to function as:
-
an image storing section for storing images by correlating with image capturing time and image capturing position of the images;
a importance judging section for judging importance of the image capturing time and image capturing position in the plurality of images stored in said image storing section;
an image capturing time sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the image capturing time stored in said image storing section when the importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing time is greater than that of the image capturing position;
an image capturing position sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page of the album based on the image capturing position stored in said image storing section when said importance judging section judges that the importance of the image capturing position is greater than that of the image capturing time; and
a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted per page by said image capturing time sorting section or said image capturing position sorting section to each page of the album.
