Variable rate browsing of an image collection
First Claim
1. A method for browsing a collection of digital images on a display screen with a touch screen user interface, comprising:
- forming an ordered sequence of digital images including a plurality of distinct digital images from the collection of digital images;
entering an image review mode and displaying a first digital image from the ordered sequence of digital images on the display screen;
initiating a sequential image display process in response to a user touching the touch screen user interface, wherein the sequential image display process sequentially displays digital images in the ordered sequence of digital images on the touch screen user interface until such time that the user stops touching the touch screen user interface, wherein a time interval between the display of sequential images is specified by a scroll rate which is controlled responsive to a position that the user is touching the touch screen user interface; and
overlaying text information on the displayed digital images during the sequential image display process, wherein the text information is only displayed when the scroll rate is greater than a predefined threshold, wherein the text information is overlaid in a fixed position.

20. A digital camera system comprising:
-
an image sensor; an optical system for forming images of a scene on the image sensor; a display screen with a touch screen user interface; a data processing system; and a memory system communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for browsing a collection of digital images captured using the image sensor wherein the instructions comprise; forming an ordered sequence of captured digital images including a plurality of distinct captured digital images from the collection of digital images; initiating a sequential image display process in response to a user touching the touch screen user interface, wherein the sequential image display process sequentially displays digital images in the ordered sequence of captured digital images on the touch screen user interface until such time that the user stops touching the touch screen user interface, wherein a time interval between the display of sequential images is given by a scroll rate which is controlled responsive to a position that the user is touching the touch screen user interface; and overlaying text information on the displayed digital images during the sequential image display process, wherein the text information is only displayed when the scroll rate is greater than a predefined threshold, wherein the text information is overlaid in a fixed position. - View Dependent Claims (21)
