Image management apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium storing program therefor

摘要

An image management apparatus (101, 102) which makes it possible to classify picked-up images according to the occasion of going-out without burdening a user. An information processing apparatus manages a plurality of image files obtained through shooting processing by an image pickup apparatus, and acquires GPS information indicative of a location of the image pickup apparatus and a time when the location was detected. The information processing apparatus sets one record of the GPS information as reference start time information (S701), and retrieves a GPS information record indicative of a location identical to the location indicated by the reference start time information, as reference end time information (S706). The information processing apparatus classifies image files of respective shooting times occurring between a time indicated by the reference start time information and a time indicated by the reference end time information, into the same group.
