Information processing device and information processing method for processing and displaying multi-picture format images

摘要

A display format identification unit identifies a display format defined in a plurality of items of image data associated with each other. A message communication unit communicates a message corresponding to the identified display format when an image generation unit generates a display image in a display format different from the identified display format. A communication storage unit stores a record indicating that the message communication unit communicates a message. If the communication storage unit stores the record indicating that the message was communicated, the message communication unit does not communicate a message again.

主权项

1. An information processing device comprising:
a first image generation unit configured to generate a first image including a selection screen image for presenting on a display screen:
(i) a plurality of selectable images, each representing a respective at least one image file containing data for displaying an image on the display screen, and at least one of the selectable images representing at least one image file containing a plurality of items of image data associated with one another for displaying a multi-picture format image, the multi-picture format image being at least one single image that is generated by combining at least two separate image data files among the plurality of items of image data that are associated with one another, and(ii) format information indicating a display format of the multi-picture format image, where the format information identifies the display format, which identifies any of a plurality of digital processes by which the at least two separate image data files among the plurality of items of image data that are associated with one another are combined to generate the single image of the multi-picture format image and then display the single image of the multi-picture format image; a determination unit configured to determine whether it is possible to display on the display screen the multi-picture format image in the display format indicated by the format information; a second image generation unit configured to, when the determination is affirmative, generate a second image in a determined display format by using at least one of the plurality of items of image data associated with each other of the multi-picture format image, and in the determined format in accordance with the determination by the determination unit; and a message communication unit configured to, when the determination is negative, communicate a predetermined message on the second image indicating that the display format of the multi-picture format image indicated by the format information included in the first image was not used when the second image generation unit generates the second image in the determined display format that is different from the display format indicated by the format information.
