First Claim
1. An image display device comprising:
- a display that displays an image based on image data including photography information, the photography information including position information representing a photography position and attitude angle information representing an attitude angle of a camera at a time of photography;
an attitude angle detection unit that detects an attitude angle of the display; and
a controller that, when the attitude angle of the display is altered while the image according to the image data is displayed, controls the display based on the position information and the attitude angle information of the image displayed at the display and based on the attitude angle detected by the attitude angle detection unit, so as to display an image previously photographed within a predetermined region with respect to the position information of the image displayed on the display and that includes attitude angle information that corresponds to the detected attitude angle.

Abstract
An image display device includes a display, an attitude angle detection unit and a controller. The display displays an image based on image data with photography information. The photography information includes position information and attitude angle information of a camera at a time of photography. If the attitude angle of the display is altered, the controller controls the display, based on the position information and the attitude angle information of the image displayed at the display and based on the attitude angle detected by the attitude angle detection unit, so as to display an image that was photographed within a predetermined region with respect to the position information of the image displayed at the display and that includes attitude angle information corresponding to the detected attitude angle.
