METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESTRICTING THE DISPLAY OF IMAGES

摘要

A method and system for displaying images that restrict (i.e., prevent) the display of certain images. An image display system is provided with image packages that each include an image plan and images to be displayed. The image plan specifies the sequential display of images and may specify timing, transitioning, panning, and other information relating to the display of the images. The image display system allows a user to define a "restricted attribute condition" that indicates which images are not to be displayed. When the image display system executes an image plan, it selects the next image to be displayed in accordance with the image plan. Prior to displaying the selected image, the image display system determines whether the selected image has attribute values that satisfy a restricted attribute condition. When a restricted attribute condition is satisfied, the image display system suppresses the display of the selected image.
