Method relating to digital images
First Claim
1. A method for selecting a digital image representation comprising:
- forming a group of digital image representations;
displaying on a touch sensitive display a first digital image representation from the group of digital image representations on the touch sensitive display;
in response to a detection of a first user input at the touch sensitive display, generating a position signal indicative of a touch position;
identifying an area at the touch position indicated by the position signal as a first portion of the first digital image representation within a second portion of the first digital image representation;
receiving a second user input at the touch sensitive display and, in response to the received second user input, generating a first new composite image by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a third portion extracted from a second digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which third portion is automatically identified by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the second digital image representation; and
receiving a third user input at the touch sensitive display and, in response to the received third user input, generating a second new composite image by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation nor the third portion of the second digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a fourth portion extracted from a third digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which fourth portion is automatically identified by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the third digital image representation.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a method for selecting an image comprises forming a group of digital image representations, displaying a first digital image representation of the group of digital image representations on a touch sensitive display, generating a position signal in response to a detection of a pointing device on the touch sensitive display, said position signal indicating a touch position, identifying a selected position within the displayed first digital image representation based on the position signal, generating a zoom-in signal in response to a detection of the pointing device sliding away from the touch position on the touch display, said zoom signal indicating a sliding distance from the touch position, displaying an enlarged representation of the first digital image representation in response to the zoom-in signal, generating a shift signal in response to a detection of a second sliding motion of the fingertip on the touch sensitive display, and displaying a second digital image representation and an enlarged representation of the second digital image representation in response to the shift signal, the enlargement of the subarea being based on the zoom signal generated during displaying of the first digital image representation.

15. An image presentation device comprising:
-
memory for storing a group of digital image representations, a touch sensitive display for receiving user inputs and displaying a first digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, and a processor for, in response to a detection of a first user input at the touch sensitive display, generating a position signal indicative of a touch position, wherein the processor is configured to; identify an area at the touch position indicated by the position signal as a first portion of the first digital image representation within a second portion of the first digital image representation; generate a first new composite image, in response to a second user input at the touch sensitive display, by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a third portion extracted from a second digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which third portion is automatically identified by the processor by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the second digital image representation; and generate a second new composite image, in response to a third user input at the touch sensitive display, by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation nor the third portion of the second digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a fourth portion extracted from a third digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which fourth portion is automatically identified by the processor by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the third digital image representation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. An image presentation device comprising:
-
storage means for storing a group of digital image representations; a touch sensitive display for receiving user inputs and displaying a first digital image representation from the group of digital image representations; processor means for, in response to a detection of a first user input at the touch sensitive display, generating a position signal indicative of a touch position; means for identifying an area at the touch position indicated by the position signal as a first portion of the first digital image representation within a second portion of the first digital image representation; means for generating a first new composite image, in response to a second user input at the touch sensitive display, by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a third portion extracted from a second digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which third portion is automatically identified by the processor means by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the second digital image representation; and means for generating a second new composite image, in response to a third user input at the touch sensitive display, by displaying on the touch sensitive display the second portion of the first digital image representation but not the first portion of the first digital image representation nor the third portion of the second digital image representation and displaying on the touch sensitive display, in the area at the touch position, a fourth portion extracted from a third digital image representation from the group of digital image representations, which fourth portion is automatically identified by the processor means by comparing the first portion of the first digital image representation to the third digital image representation.
