Abstract

It is an object to provide an audio visual device that can display a picked-up image on a screen for a user to easily recognize the image without imposing an excessive load in terms of a capacity or the like. An audio video device is provided to display a list of picked-up images so that a user can easily recognize them by making use of a cell to display a program table set in the audio visual device in advance. Further, an audio visual device is provided to display a list of Exif information contained in a picked-up image together with the picked-up image on a screen so that a user can easily recognize the image displayed on the screen.

Claims

1. An AV apparatus, comprising:

a storage for information on generating program guide cells, storing information on generating program guide cells, the information is for generating matrix-type cells for electronic program guide;

an acquirer for image information, acquiring image information; and

a display, displaying the acquired image information utilizing the information on generating program guide cells.

2. The AV apparatus according to claim 1, comprising:

a determination unit, determining whether or not the acquired image information is Exif information,

wherein the display comprises

means for arranging and displaying based on Exif information, arranging and displaying a still image included in the image information and attribute information relating to the still image in cells in the same line or same column, if the determination result indicates the acquired information is Exif information.

3. The AV apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the display comprises

means for controlling arrangement, controlling the means for arranging and displaying based on Exif information to arrange the still image and the attribute information relating to the still image according to the attribute included in the Exif file.

4. The AV apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the Exif file is substituted with a moving image file.

5. The AV apparatus according to claim 1, comprising:

a scroll controller, controlling scroll of the program guide cells; and

a scroll receiver, receiving input for scrolling cells including the image,

wherein the scroll controller controls scroll of cells including the image based on the input for scrolling cells including the image, received by the scroll receiver.

6. The AV apparatus according to claim 2, wherein
