First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image browsing apparatus comprising:
- a display unit for displaying image data comprising a plurality of images;
a reproducing unit reproducing audio data;
a detector for detecting a peak value of an audio level of a high band and/or low band in a sample of the audio data, wherein the sample of the audio data samples the audio data for a predetermined period of time from a beginning of the audio data; and
a controller for;
setting the peak value detected by the detector as a threshold;
determining an amount of time between an end of the sample of the audio data and a subsequent portion of the audio data at which the audio level of the high band and/or low band of the audio data exceeds the threshold;
setting the amount of time as an updating interval for the image data; and
when the audio data is reproduced by said reproducing unit, controlling an amount of time that each of the plurality of images of the image data is displayed by said display unit based on the updating interval.

7. An image data browsing method of controlling an image changing interval in an image browsing apparatus comprising display means for displaying image data comprising a plurality of images and reproducing means for reproducing audio data, the method comprising:
-
detecting a peak value of an audio level of a high band and/or low band in a sample of the audio data, wherein the sample of the audio data samples the audio data for a predetermined period of time from a beginning of the audio data; setting the peak value detected by the detector as a threshold; determining an amount of time between an end of the sample of the audio data and a subsequent portion of the audio data at which the audio level of the high band and/or low band of the audio data exceeds the threshold; setting the amount of time as an updating interval for the image data; and when said audio data is reproduced by said reproducing means, controlling an amount of time that each image of the image data is displayed by said display means based on the updating interval.

8. An image data browsing method of controlling an image changing interval in an image browsing apparatus comprising image pickup means for photographing image data, display means for displaying the image data, and reproducing means for reproducing audio data, the method comprising:
-
photographing the image data by said image pickup means; recording said photographed image data; detecting a peak value of an audio level of a high band and/or low band in a sample of the audio data, wherein the sample of the audio data samples the audio data for a predetermined period of time from a beginning of the audio data; setting the peak value detected by the detector as a threshold; determining an amount of time between an end of the sample of the audio data and a subsequent portion of the audio data at which the audio level of the high band and/or low band of the audio data exceeds the threshold; setting the amount of time as an updating interval for the image data; and controlling the display means so that the image data photographed by said image pickup means is sequentially switched and displayed based on the updating interval.
