First Claim
1. A display control apparatus comprising:
- a reading unit configured to read out attribute information of images stored in a storage medium;
a classification unit configured to classify the images stored in the storage medium into a plurality of groups on the basis of the attribute information read out by said reading unit; and
a display control unit configured to control a multi-display screen on which the images of the groups classified by said classification unit are arranged for each group, to be displayed on a display device;
wherein said display control unit controls display processing so that, when the multi-display screen is displayed, an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a first group having the highest priority of the display processing of the groups is displayed first, and then display processing of an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a second group of the groups, which has the second highest priority of the display processing, is next performed before an image having the second highest priority of the display processing in the first group is displayed.

Abstract
A display control apparatus that allows a user to easily find a desired image on a multi-display screen in a short time. Attribute information of images stored in a storage medium is read out. The images stored in the storage medium is classified into a plurality of groups on the basis of the read attribute information and arranged for each group on a multi-display screen which is controlled to be displayed on a display device. Display processing is controlled so that, when the multi-display screen is displayed, an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a first group having the highest priority of the display processing of the groups is displayed first, and then display processing of an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a second group of the groups, which has the second highest priority of the display processing, is next performed before an image having the second highest priority of the display processing in the first group is displayed.

9. A method for controlling a display control apparatus, the method comprising:
-
a reading step of reading out attribute information of images stored in a storage medium; a classification step of classifying the images stored in the storage medium into a plurality of groups on the basis of the attribute information read out in said reading step; and a display control step of controlling a multi-display screen on which the images of the groups classified in said classification step are arranged for each group, to be displayed on a display device; wherein display processing is controlled in said display control step so that, when the multi-display screen is displayed, an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a first group having the highest priority of the display processing of the groups is displayed first, and then display processing of an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a second group of the groups, which has the second highest priority of the display processing, is next performed before an image having the second highest priority of the display processing in the first group is displayed.
