<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To express time information related to a content by an image using an index image without adding image data to the index image of the content. <P>SOLUTION: A ratio of a lapsed term from a registration date to a present date to a validity term of the content is set as a weighting coefficient, and the present date is normalized to the registration date and an expiration date. An image processor body edits the index image 22 according to a value of the weighting coefficient such that density of the index image becomes low as the validity term wherein the content remains becomes short. Density of a display screen 100 of a UI device becomes dense in order of thumb nails 102a-102d, for example, and it is represented that the validity term wherein the content corresponding to the thumb nail 102a remains is the shortest and that the validity term the content corresponding to the thumb nail 102d remain is the longest. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
