Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a display section displaying an image; and a control section displaying on the display section a map-view screen including a display of a map cluster including thumbnail images of one or a plurality of images recorded in a recording section with position information attached on a map, and when one map cluster is selected from the map clusters, an index-display confirmation screen including a display of information not displayed on the map-view screen of the map cluster and not displaying the map having been displayed on the map-view screen, and prompting to select whether to display an index of images included in the map cluster.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display section displaying an image; and

a control section displaying, on the display section, a map-view screen including a display of a map cluster including thumbnail images of one or a plurality of images recorded in a recording section, with position information attached, on a map, and when one map cluster is selected from the map clusters, an index-display confirmation screen including a display of information not displayed on the map-view screen of the map cluster and not displaying the map having been displayed on the map-view screen, and prompting to select whether to display an index of images included in the map cluster.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when the index-display confirmation screen is displayed on the display section, if a user selects a display of an index of captured images on the display section, the control section changes the display on the display section from the index-display confirmation screen to an index screen displaying the index of the captured images pertaining to the map cluster selected by the user.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein in order for the control section to change to the map-view screen after having changed the display on the display section from the index-display confirmation screen to the index screen, the control section directly changes the screen without going through the index-display confirmation screen.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when the control section displays the index-display confirmation screen on the display section, the control section displays information on a shooting date of a captured image pertaining to the map cluster selected as information not having been displayed on the map-view screen.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when the control section displays the index-display confirmation screen on the display section, the control section displays information on latitude and longitude of a shooting location of a captured image pertaining to the map cluster selected as information not having been displayed on the map-view screen.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when the control section displays the index-display confirmation screen on the display section, the control section displays a name of a shooting location of a captured image pertaining to the map cluster selected as information not having been displayed on the map-view screen.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein when the control section displays the index-display confirmation screen on the display section, the control section displays a face image included in a captured image pertaining to the map cluster selected as information not having been displayed on the map-view screen.

8. A method of displaying information, comprising:

controlling a display of a map-view screen including a display of a map cluster including thumbnail images of one or a plurality of images recorded in a recording section with position information attached on a map on a display section; and

when one map cluster is selected from the map clusters, controlling a display of an index-display confirmation screen including a display of information not displayed on the map-view screen of the map cluster and not displaying the map having been displayed on the map-view screen, and prompting to select whether to display an index of images included in the map cluster.

9. A computer program for causing a computer to perform processing comprising:

controlling a display of a map-view screen including a display of a map cluster including thumbnail images of one or a plurality of images recorded in a recording section with position information attached on a map on a display section; and

when one map cluster is selected from the map clusters, controlling a display of an index-display confirmation screen including a display of information not displayed on the map-view screen of the map cluster and not displaying the map having been displayed on the map-view screen, and prompting to select whether to display an index of images included in the map cluster.
