Abstract

The image browse function is activated and the image is displayed. When the function key (playback) is depressed, the pointer is placed at the top of the image file chunk corresponding to the displayed image. The operation then judges whether or not the position of the pointer is the text chunk. When the text chunk is discovered by the position of the pointer, the operation judges whether or not the keyword (image display control information) which indicates insertion of the image display control information was inserted and described. When the keyword has been inserted, the operation extracts the keyword and performs display processing of the image according to the keyword (image display control information).

Claims

1. A display processing device comprising:

a storage section for storing an image file in a file format including an image storage field for storing an image and a text data storage field for storing text data;

a first direction section for reading the image file from said storage section and directing display of the image stored in the image file;

a display section for reading the image file which stores said image and displaying the image stored in the image file when display of said image is directed by said first direction section;

a second direction section for directing display control of said image when the image is displayed by the display section;

a judgment section for judging whether or not information which designates a display control method of said image and positional information comprising latitude and longitude are included in the text data stored in said image file when display control of said image is directed by the second direction section;

a positional information acquisition section for acquiring positional information comprising latitude and longitude of a current position when the judgment section judges that the text data includes the information which designates the display control method of said image and said positional information;

a map information storage section for storing a range of map information including said positional information of said image file and said positional information acquired by said positional information acquisition section; and

a map information display control section for reading map information stored by the map information storage section and displaying the map information on said display section while controlling the display of said map information based on the positional information.

2. The display processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an image input section for inputting the image;

a positional information input section for inputting positional information comprising latitude and longitude; and

an image file generation section for generating the image file which includes the image inputted by said image input section and the positional information inputted by said positional information input section.

3. The display processing device according to claim 2, wherein said image input section includes an imaging section.

4. A display control method comprising the steps of:

reading an image file from a storage section, which stores the image file in a file format including an image storage field for storing an image and a text data storage field for storing text data, and directing display of the image;

reading the image file which stores said image and displaying the image stored in the image file on a display area when display of said image is directed;

directing display control of said image when the image is displayed;

judging whether or not information which designates a display control method of said image and positional information comprising latitude and longitude are included in the text data stored in said image file when display control of said image is directed;

acquiring positional information comprising latitude and longitude of a current position when it is judged that the text data includes the information which designates the display control method of said image and said positional information; and

reading a range of map information which includes said positional information of said image file and said acquired positional information from a map information storage section, and displaying the range of map information on said display area while controlling said display of said map information based on the positional information.

5. A computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon that is executable by a computer of a display processing device to cause the computer to control the display processing device to perform functions comprising:

reading an image file from a storage section, which stores the image file in a file format including an image storage field for storing an image and a text data storage field for storing text data, and directing display of the image;

reading the image file which stores said image and displaying the image stored in the image file on a display area when display of said image is directed;

directing display control of said image when the image is displayed;

judging whether or not information which designates a display control method of said image and positional information comprising latitude and longitude are included in the text data stored in said image file when display control of said image is directed;

acquiring positional information comprising latitude and longitude of a current position via a positional information acquisition section, when it is judged that the text data includes the information which designates the display control method of said image and said positional information; and

reading a range of map information including said positional information of said image file and said acquired positional information from a map information storage section, and displaying the range of map information on said display area while controlling display of said map information based on the positional information.
