Abstract

An information display device includes: a display unit that simultaneously displays one or more images; a storage unit that stores one or more pieces of arrangement information each indicating an arrangement of one or more images displayed on the display unit on a per image basis and each being associated with a subject among one or more subjects related to storage and reproduction of display content; a list generation unit that generates a subject-basis list so as to allow selection of an arrangement of one or more images to be reproduced on the display unit for a subject; an operation unit that accepts selection of a subject by a user using the subject-basis list; and a layout reproduction unit that reproduces an arrangement of one or more images on the display unit on the basis of a piece of arrangement information associated with the selected subject.

Claims

1. An information display device comprising:

a display unit that simultaneously displays one or more images;

a storage unit that stores one or more pieces of arrangement information each indicating an arrangement of the one or more images displayed on the display unit on a per image basis, each of the one or more pieces of arrangement information being associated with a subject among one or more subjects related to storage and reproduction of display content;

a list generation unit that generates a subject-basis list so as to allow selection of an arrangement of one or more images to be reproduced on the display unit for a subject among the one or more subjects;

an operation unit that accepts selection of a subject from among the one or more subjects by a user using the subject-basis list; and

a layout reproduction unit that reproduces an arrangement of one or more images on the display unit on the basis of a piece of arrangement information associated with the selected subject.

2. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein

the list generation unit generates a list of arrangements of one or more images for each of the one or more subjects as a history so as to allow the user to select an arrangement of one or more images at a past specific time point for one of the one or more subjects, and

the layout reproduction unit reproduces an arrangement of one or more images and display content on the display unit on the basis of selection of a subject and a time point for which a screen is to be reproduced, the selection being accepted by the operation unit.

3. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein

each of the one or more subjects is related to a topic of a meeting, a lecture, a speech, a lesson, or a presentation.

4. The information display device according to claim 1, further comprising

a drawer management unit that displays one or more pieces of material data so as to allow the user to make selection, the one or more pieces of material data being one or more pieces of original data of the one or more images, wherein

the storage unit stores one or more pieces of address information that each indicate a storage destination in which the one or more pieces of material data are stored, and

the drawer management unit displays the one or more pieces of address information as units on the display unit so as to allow the user to select one or more pieces of material data stored together in one of the units, displays, in a case where one of the units is selected, one or more pieces of material data belonging to the selected unit on the display unit so as to allow the user to further make selection, and forms, in a case where a piece of material data is selected, an image of the selected piece of material data as a material image and displays the material image on the display unit.

5. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein

the display unit is formed by arranging a plurality of display devices,

the operation unit accepts selection of a plurality of options among options displayed in a list, and

the layout reproduction unit reproduces screens corresponding to the respective selected options on different display devices among the plurality of display devices.

6. The information display device according to claim 1, further comprising

a keyword extraction unit that extracts a keyword on the basis of at least one of a voice and a material document for a specific subject, wherein

the list generation unit generates the subject-basis list to which the extracted keyword is added.

7. The information display device according to claim 1, further comprising

a transition information generation unit that generates transition information regarding transitions in a specific subject, wherein

the list generation unit generates the subject-basis list to which the generated transition information is added.

8. An information display method comprising:

simultaneously displaying one or more images;

storing one or more pieces of arrangement information each indicating an arrangement of the displayed one or more images on a per image basis, each of the one or more pieces of arrangement information being associated with a subject among one or more subjects related to storage and reproduction of display content;

generating a subject-basis list so as to allow selection of an arrangement of one or more images to be reproduced and displayed for a subject among the one or more subjects;

accepting selection of a subject from among the one or more subjects by a user using the subject-basis list; and

reproducing and displaying an arrangement of one or more images on the basis of a piece of arrangement information associated with the selected subject.

9. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

simultaneously displaying one or more images;

storing one or more pieces of arrangement information each indicating an arrangement of the displayed one or more images on a per image basis, each of the one or more pieces of arrangement information being associated with a subject among one or more subjects related to storage and reproduction of display content;

generating a subject-basis list so as to allow selection of an arrangement of one or more images to be reproduced and displayed for a subject among the one or more subjects;

accepting selection of a subject from among the one or more subjects by a user using the subject-basis list; and

reproducing and displaying an arrangement of one or more images on the basis of a piece of arrangement information associated with the selected subject.
