IMAGE DISPLAYING APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An image displaying apparatus that reduces an image to generate a thumbnail image, and displays a list of thumbnail images in a display area, the image displaying apparatus comprising:
- an attribute determining unit that determines an attribute of image data of the image;
a still-image extracting unit that extracts, when the attribute of the image data is determined as a moving image, a still image from the image data;
a feature-amount obtaining unit that obtains a feature amount from image data of the still image extracted from the image data of the moving image and image data of a still image when the attribute of the image data is determined as the still image;
an arrangement-position determining unit that determines an arrangement position of the display area based on the feature amount; and
a thumbnail-image generating unit that generates a thumbnail image by reducing the still image and displays a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area.

Abstract
An attribute determining unit determines an attribute of image data of an image. A still-image extracting unit extracts, when the attribute is a moving image, a still image from the image data. A feature-amount obtaining unit obtains a feature amount from image data of the still image and image data of a still image when the attribute is the still image. An arrangement-position determining unit determines an arrangement position of a display area based on the feature amount. A display-image generating unit generates a thumbnail image from the still image and displays a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area.

12. A method of reducing an image to generate a thumbnail image and displaying a list of thumbnail images in a display area, the method comprising:
-
determining an attribute of image data of the image; extracting, when the attribute of the image data is determined as a moving image, a still image from the image data; obtaining a feature amount from image data of the still image extracted from the image data of the moving image and image data of a still image when the attribute of the image data is determined as the still image; determining an arrangement position of the display area based on the feature amount; generating a thumbnail image by reducing the still image; and displaying a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area.
