Abstract

An image signal processing apparatus controls display of a moving image and a still image. The image signal processing apparatus includes obtaining means for obtaining a moving image content constituted of a moving image and a still image content constituted of one or more still images, generating means for generating link information indicating a correlation between imaging timings of the moving image content and the still image content, and reproducing means for displaying the moving image content and the still image content correlated each other on a same screen, based on the link information.

Claims

1. An image signal processing apparatus for controlling display of a moving image and a still image, comprising:

obtaining means for obtaining a moving image content constituted of a moving image and a still image content constituted of one or more still images;

generating means for generating link information indicating a correlation between imaging timings of the moving image content and the still image content; and

reproducing means for displaying the moving image content and the still image content correlated each other on a same screen, based on the link information.

2. The image signal processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein;

the generating means generates the link information based on a degree of similarity between the still image of the still image content and each frame image of the moving image content.

3. The image signal processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein;

in accordance with the link information, the reproducing means displays one of the moving image content and the still image content designated as a main image and the other designated as a sub image corresponding to a reproducing timing of the main image, on the same screen.

4. The image signal processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

image correction processing means for performing an image correction process on either one of the moving image content and the still image content, by using the moving image content and the still image content.

5. The image signal processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

setting means for setting a correction parameter for the image correction process.

6. An image signal processing method for an image signal processing apparatus for controlling display of a moving image and a still image, comprising steps of:

obtaining a moving image content constituted of a moving image and a still image content constituted of one or more still images;

generating link information indicating a correlation between imaging timings of the moving image content and the still image content; and

displaying the moving image content and the still image content correlated with each other on a same screen, based on the link information.

7. A program for controlling an image signal processing apparatus which controls display of a moving image and a still image, the program causing a computer to execute processes including steps of:

obtaining a moving image content constituted of a moving image and a still image content constituted of one or more still images;

generating link information indicating a correlation between imaging timings of the moving image content and the still image content; and

displaying the moving image content and the still image content correlated with each other on a same screen, based on the link information.

8. An image signal processing apparatus for controlling display of a moving image and a still image, comprising:

obtaining section for obtaining a moving image content constituted of a moving image and a still image content constituted of one or more still images;

generating section for generating link information indicating a correlation between imaging timings of the moving image content and the still image content; and

reproducing section for displaying the moving image content and the still image content correlated each other on a same screen, based on the link information.
