Image sharing system and related computer program product

摘要

A computer program product includes: a receiving module for utilizing a communication circuit to receive a photographing positions distribution information; an option object generating module for utilizing a control circuit to generate multiple option objects; an arranging module for utilizing the control circuit to generate a graphic user interface including the multiple option objects and one or more reference indicators according to the photographing positions distribution information; and a displaying control module for utilizing a display device to display the graphic user interface. When the display device displays the graphic user interface, if an input device receives a shift command inputted by a user, the display controlling module controls the display device to move at least a portion of the option objects on the graphic user interface toward a same side and to change position or content of at least one reference indicator.

1. An image sharing system, comprising:
an image providing server, comprising:
a storage device, configured to operably store a site location data and a site orientation data of a target site, multiple image data, and multiple photographing position data respectively corresponding to multiple image data, wherein each of the multiple image data is photographed within a predetermined distance from the target site or contains at least a portion of image content of an event occurred at the target site;a processing circuit, coupled with the storage device, configured to operably calculate a photographing positions distribution information representing a spatial distribution of the multiple photographing position data according to the site location data, the site orientation data, and the multiple photographing position data; anda transmission circuit, coupled with the processing circuit, configured to operably transmit the photographing positions distribution information through Internet after an image enquiry request is received; and an image playback device, comprising:
an input device, configured to operably generate the image enquiry request according to a user's manipulation;a communication circuit, configured to operably transmit the image enquiry request to the transmission circuit of the image providing server through the Internet, and to operably receive the photographing positions distribution information transmitted from the transmission circuit;a control circuit, coupled with the communication circuit and the input device, configured to operably generate multiple option objects respectively corresponding to the multiple image data, and to operably arrange the multiple option objects according to the photographing positions distribution information so as to generate a graphic user interface (GUI) containing the multiple option objects and one or more reference indicators; anda display device, coupled with the control circuit, configured to operably display the GUI; wherein when the display device displays the GUI, if a moving command issued by the user is received by the input device, the control circuit controls the display device to move at least part of the multiple option objects in the GUI toward a same side and to correspondingly change position or content of at least one of the one or more reference indicators, and if an option object selection command corresponding to a target option object in the GUI is received by the input device, the control circuit controls the communication circuit to transmit an image data request corresponding to the target option object to the transmission circuit of the image providing server through the Internet; wherein when the image data request is received by the image providing server, the processing circuit controls the transmission circuit to transmit a target image data out of the multiple image data to the communication circuit through the Internet, and when the target image data is received by the communication circuit, the control circuit controls the display device to display the target image data.
