Abstract

Provided is an image display system which allows a user to browse an object of interest in a background as if she/he picks up and moves the object of interest by hand, and allows the user to visually enter inside a specified object placed on the background. The image display system of the present invention is characterized in that it has a mother database (MDB) reconfigured from a database for configuring an object, wherein an image (a two-dimensional image, a three-dimensional space or a four-dimensional space) based on the MDB, in an entire image, is substituted for an object subjected to the object recognition based on the MDB, and synthetically displayed.

Claims

1. An image display system comprising:

a nontransitory processor-readable storage medium that stores detailed data that includes at least a plurality of temporal information and design data of an object corresponding to the temporal information;

at least one processor operatively coupled to the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, the at least one processor;

receives a certain time and object interest information including information related to an object of interest in an image;

identifies the object of interest by calculating a coincidence degree between the object interest information and feature value data extracted from the design data; and

creates a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image at the certain time based on a coordinate system and a point of view in the image, and based on the design data of the specified object of interest associated with the temporal information corresponding to the certain time when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, and creates an unregistered image when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is not registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, wherein the unregistered image indicates that the design data at the certain time is not registered;

wherein an image of the specified object of interest in the image at the certain time is substituted for the two-dimensional image or the three dimensional image, or the unregistered image.

2. The image display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the substituted image of the specified object of interest is arranged on a coordinate system different from that of the entire image, and displayed in at least one of a rotatable, enlargeable or reducible manner.

3. The image display system as defined in claim 2, wherein the processor creates the two-dimensional image or the three-dimensional image based on information obtained from a referable link destination.

4. The image display system as defined in claim 3, wherein the certain time is a future time or a past time.

5. The image display system as defined in claim 4, wherein the processor explicitly indicates an object which is absent at a specific time by display of at least one of a character, a symbol, or a specific color or pattern each representing non-display and/or a non-display state.

6. The image display system as defined in claim 3, wherein the certain time is a future time or a past time.

7. The image display system as defined in claim 6, wherein the processor explicitly indicates an object which is absent at a specific time by non-display and/or by display of at least one of a character, a symbol, or a specific color or pattern each representing a non-display state.

8. The image display system as defined in claim 2, wherein the certain time is a future time or a past time.

9. The image display system as defined in claim 8, wherein the processor explicitly indicates an object which is absent at a specific time by non-display and/or by display of at least one of a character, a symbol, or a specific color or pattern each representing a non-display state.

10. The image display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the processor creates the two-dimensional image or the three-dimensional image based on information obtained from a referable link destination.

11. A processor-based device communicatively coupled to a nontransitory processor-readable storage medium that stores detailed data including at least a plurality of temporal information and design data of an object corresponding to the temporal information, the processor-based device comprising:

a nontransitory processor-readable medium that stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data; and

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the nontransitory processor-readable medium and the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, the at least one processor;

receives a certain time and object interest information including information related to an object of interest in an image;

identifies the object of interest by calculating a coincidence degree between the object interest information and feature value data extracted from the design data; and

creates a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image at the certain time based on a coordinate system and a point of view in the image, and based on the design data of the specified object of interest associated with the temporal information corresponding to the certain time when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, and create an unregistered image when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is not registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, wherein the unregistered image indicates that the design data at the certain time is not registered;

wherein an image of the specified object of interest in the image at the certain time is substituted for the two-dimensional image or the three dimensional image, or the unregistered image.

12. A computer program product residing on a nontransitory processor-readable medium accessible by at least one processor, the at least one processor communicatively coupled to a nontransitory processor-readable storage medium that stores detailed data including at least a plurality of temporal information and design data of an object corresponding to the temporal information, the computer program product stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data that cause the at least one processor to:

receive a certain time and object interest information including information related to an object of interest in an image;

identify the object of interest by calculating a coincidence degree between the object interest information and feature value data extracted from the design data; and

create a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image at the certain time based on a coordinate system and a point of view in the image, and based on the design data of the specified object of interest associated with the temporal information corresponding to the certain time when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, and create an unregistered image when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is not registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, wherein the unregistered image indicates that the design data at the certain time is not registered;

wherein an image of the specified object of interest in the image at the certain time is substituted for the two-dimensional image or the three dimensional image, or the unregistered image.

13. A nontransitory processor-readable medium accessible by at least one processor, the at least one processor communicatively coupled to a nontransitory processor-readable storage medium that stores detailed data including at least a plurality of temporal information and design data of an object corresponding to the temporal information, the nontransitory processor-readable medium stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data that cause the at least one processor to:

receive a certain time and object interest information including information related to an object of interest in an image;

identify the object of interest by calculating a coincidence degree between the object interest information and feature value data extracted from the design data; and

create a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image at the certain time based on a coordinate system and a point of view in the image, and based on the design data of the specified object of interest associated with the temporal information corresponding to the certain time when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, and create an unregistered image when the design data of the specified object of interest at the certain time is not registered in the nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, wherein the unregistered image indicates that the design data at the certain time is not registered;

wherein an image of the specified object of interest in the image at the certain time is substituted for the two-dimensional image or the three dimensional image, or the unregistered image.
