Image processing apparatus, image displaying method, and image displaying program

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes an instructed-position detecting unit configured to receive an instruction operation by a user on a display screen of a display device and detect and output a position where the instruction operation is performed; a storing unit configured to store multiple image data items each including information corresponding to a search key; a search-key display controlling unit configured to cause at least one search key to be selectively displayed on the display screen of the display device; a searching unit configured to, if the search key displayed on the display screen is instructed by the search-key display controlling unit through the instructed-position detecting unit, search the storing unit for the image data corresponding to the search key to extract the image data; and a display controlling unit configured to collectively display images corresponding to the image data in a certain part on the display screen.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to receive an instruction operation by a user on a display screen of a display device, to detect a position where the instruction operation is performed, and to output the detected position; and a memory configured to store a plurality of image data items each including information corresponding to a respective search key, wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
cause a plurality of the search keys to be selectively displayed on the display screen of the display device based on selection by a user of said plurality of search keys;perform a first search, responsive to the user selection and selective display of the search keys on the display screen of the display device, of the memory for image data corresponding to the selected search keys to extract corresponding image data;responsive to the first search, display at the same time said selected plurality of search keys and images corresponding to the extracted corresponding image data in a first arrangement in a part of the display screen;perform a second search, while displaying at the same time said selected plurality of search keys and said images corresponding to the extracted corresponding image data, responsive to selection by the user of one of said selected plurality of search keys selectively displayed on the display screen; andcollectively display at the same time, responsive to the selection by the user of said one of said selected plurality of search keys, said selected plurality of search keys, a first set of one or more images of the displayed images associated with the first search which correspond to the extracted image data in a second arrangement different from the first arrangement in a first certain part on the display screen, and a second set of one or more images of the displayed images associated with the first search which correspond to the extracted image data in a third arrangement separate from the second arrangement on a second certain part of the display screen, and wherein a portion of the first certain part of the display screen is included in the part of the display screen associated with the first display arrangement of said selected plurality of search keys and the images.
