An embodiment method includes: acquiring a uniform resource identifier URI of a first picture selected by a user; acquiring a URI of a picture to be buffered in accordance with the URI of the first picture; and sending the URI of the first picture and the URI of the picture to be buffered to a media renderer, so that the media renderer acquires the first picture according to the URI of the first picture, and displays the first picture, and acquires, the picture to be buffered in accordance with the URI of the picture to be buffered, and buffers the picture to be buffered.

A display device includes a display section and a control unit. The display section is capable of displaying an image. The control unit includes a processor and, based on operation of the processor in accordance with an operation program, performs a display control of the display section and allows the display section, upon acceptance of a user's instruction to provide a scrolling display of display contents of the display section, to provide a scrolling display of the display contents of the display section in accordance with the instruction. When the image to be displayed is a scroll image displayable by scrolling on the display section, the control unit allows the display section to display, on a display area of the display section, a predetermined portion of the scroll image as a range displayable within the display area.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

A information processing device may store a first and second image process associated with a first and second moving direction. The information processing device may display an object image on a display. The information processing device may detect a first instruction position when an indicator makes contact with the object image. The information processing device may detect a second instruction position when the indicator moves to the second instruction position, while maintaining a state of being in contact with the display. The information processing device may calculate a predetermined direction towards which the second instruction position is located. The information processing device may execute a first image process on the object image when the calculated predetermined direction corresponds to the first moving direction. The information processing device may execute a second image process on the object image when the calculated predetermined direction corresponds to the second moving direction.

An image recording apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a recording unit configured to record one of still image data and video image data captured by the image capturing unit on a storage medium in the form of an image file, a generating unit configured to generate a management file used for managing the image file recorded on the storage medium, and a registering unit configured to register an identifier of the image file recorded on the storage medium in the management file on a capture date basis in the order of capture time.

A computer-implemented method includes displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, displaying, within the view pane, a plurality of poster frames, each poster frame representing a corresponding media item, a first poster frame being displayed as positioned in a first row extending across the event view pane in the horizontal direction such that the first poster frame is displayed substantially adjacent to a first vertical edge of the event view pane and subsequent poster frames are displayed substantially adjacent to one another in the first row until a poster frame in the first row is displayed substantially adjacent to a second vertical edge of the event view pane, and displaying a next poster frame in a second row vertically displaced from the first row. Photographs in a poster frame can be previewed by moving a cursor across the poster frame.

A label preparation device includes: an editing target switching unit which switches an editing target label among a plurality of labels arranged in particular order, in response to an operation on a keyboard; and an editing screen display unit which displays an editing screen including a preview image of the editing target label. If there is a label immediately preceding the editing target label in the order, the editing screen display unit displays a left arrow object on a forward end side of the preview image. If there is a label immediately following the editing target label in the order, the editing screen display unit displays a right arrow object on a rear end side of the preview image.

An image display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an input image to be displayed on a display unit and a display control unit configured to reduce display luminance of the display unit in a case where a display image obtained by enlarging the input image is displayed on the display unit or in a case where a display image obtained by enhancing a contour of an object in the input image is displayed on the display unit.

A display device includes a display section and a control unit including a processor. The control unit displays, upon deciding that an image to be displayed in the display section is a scrollable image larger than a predetermined display region of the display section, and an entirety of which can be displayed in the display region by scrolling the image in a vertical or horizontal direction in a display screen of the display section, a portion of the scrollable image in the display region, the portion being shifted in the vertical direction or horizontal direction to a predetermined position away from a head position, and then displays, in the display region, the scrollable image scrolled until the head position thereof appears at an end of the display region in a direction of the shifting.

A method for proactively creating a photo product includes storing a library of points of interest in a computer storage, detecting one or more images from a user, automatically extracting image capture locations from the images, automatically comparing the image capture locations with the points of interest in the library to obtain one or more identified points of interest, automatically identifying an occasion based on the identified points of interest in the library, automatically selecting, by the computer processor, a photo product type in part based on the occasion, automatically creating a design of a photo product of the photo product type using one or more images from the user, and manufacturing a physical photo product based on the photo product design.
