Abstract

An image processing device classifies captured images into event images captured in each event duration corresponding to a predetermined event or usual-day images captured out of the event duration. The image processing device produces, for each duration, an event page in which event images of an event in the duration are inserted and a usual page in which usual-day images in the duration are inserted. The image processing device generates an album using the event page and the usual page produced for the duration.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an album producing program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

classifying captured images into event images captured in event duration corresponding to a predetermined event or usual-day images captured out of the event duration;

producing, for each duration, an event page in which event images of an event in the duration are inserted and a usual page in which usual-day images in the duration are inserted; and

generating an album using the event page and the usual page produced for the duration.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein the album producing program according to claim 1, wherein when there are a plurality of events in the duration, the producing includes specifying a first event with a largest number of the event images, and producing the event page in which event images of the specified first event are inserted, and producing the usual page in which the usual-day images in the duration and event images of an event other than the first event in the duration are inserted.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein the album producing program according to claim 1, wherein the producing includes producing the event page or the usual page including a page title, a thumbnail area including images randomly selected from among the corresponding images and arranged in an image capturing date order, a large face area for displaying an image in which a face region of a specified object has a ratio larger than a predetermined ratio relative to a whole image, a small face area for displaying an image in which a face region of the object has a ratio smaller than a predetermined ratio relative to the whole image, and a people area for displaying an image in which a plurality of persons including the object are photographed as objects.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein the album producing program according to claim 1, wherein the generating includes generating the album by excluding an event page not including the event images from among event pages produced for the duration, and a usual page not including the usual-day images from among usual pages produced for the duration.

5. An album producing method comprising:

classifying captured images into event images captured in event duration corresponding to a predetermined event or usual-day images captured out of the event duration, using a processor;

producing, for each duration, an event page in which event images of an event in the duration are inserted and a usual page in which usual-day images in the duration are inserted, using the processor; and

generating an album using the event page and the usual page produced for the duration, using the processor.

6. An album producing device comprising:

a memory which stores therein an event in association with event duration indicating duration of the event; and

a processor that is connected to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process including;

classifying captured images into event images captured in each of the event durations stored in the storage unit or usual-day images captured out of the event duration;

producing, for each of the durations, an event page in which event images of an event in the duration are inserted and a usual page in which usual-day images in the duration are inserted; and

generating an album using the event page and the usual page produced for the duration.
