20080301586 | IMAGE MANAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE MANAGING METHOD AND IMAGE MANAGING PROGRAM - An image managing apparatus includes a storage part, an input part, a grouping-processing part, a representative image extraction part, a folding-button preparing part, a folding-screen preparing part and an output part. An image is stored in the storage part. A user's instruction is input by the input part. The grouping-processing part is configured to classify images displayed on a screen into a group for display based on the instruction. The representative image extraction part is configured to extract an image in the group as a representative image of the group. The folding-button preparing part is configured to generate a folding button for displaying the representative image of the group on the screen. The folding-screen preparing part is configured to generate an image-listing screen (“folding screen)”} on which the representative image of the group and an ungrouped image are displayed when the folding-button displayed on the screen is operated. | 12-04-2008 |
20100172632 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Audio data are played back by a personal computer a relationship with a playback process recognized easily. Displays showing the contents of play lists are arranged and displayed so that the contents become continuous in sequence in a playback sequence from content that is currently being played back from a display of an operation element that causes an image of a playback process to appear or from a display showing the content which is currently being played back. When the playback of one piece of content of one play list from among a plurality of play lists is terminated and one piece of content of an other play list is played back, at least the content that is currently being played back and content to be subsequently played back are displayed so that the contents can be distinguished. | 07-08-2010 |
20100241960 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus having an input configured to receive a first operation and a second operation input by a user, a playback unit configured to obtain predetermined data and play back the data based on the operation input by the user from the input; and a display control unit configured to control, in correspondence with a virtual hierarchical structure for classifying the predetermined data, a display of a display screen indicating each hierarchy level, and for controlling a display of a predetermined mark in the display screen. The display control unit also controls the display of the predetermined mark corresponding to the predetermined data which is played back by the playback unit in a manner different from other non-selected marks while the predetermined mark is being selected. | 09-23-2010 |
20100274373 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Audio data are played back by a personal computer a relationship with a playback process recognized easily. Displays showing the contents of play lists are arranged and displayed so that the contents become continuous in sequence in a playback sequence from content that is currently being played back from a display of an operation element that causes an image of a playback process to appear or from a display showing the content which is currently being played back. When the playback of one piece of content of one play list from among a plurality of play lists is terminated and one piece of content of an other play list is played back, at least the content that is currently being played back and content to be subsequently played back are displayed so that the contents can be distinguished. | 10-28-2010 |
20100280642 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Audio data are played back by a personal computer a relationship with a playback process recognized easily. Displays showing the contents of play lists are arranged and displayed so that the contents become continuous in sequence in a playback sequence from content that is currently being played back from a display of an operation element that causes an image of a playback process to appear or from a display showing the content which is currently being played back. When the playback of one piece of content of one play list from among a plurality of play lists is terminated and one piece of content of an other play list is played back, at least the content that is currently being played back and content to be subsequently played back are displayed so that the contents can be distinguished. | 11-04-2010 |
20110157006 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus includes a detection section configured to detect an operating body in proximity to a display screen, an identification section configured to identify whether the operating body detected by the detection section is in proximity to a selection item included in the display screen, and a display control section configured to temporarily superimpose and display a region including selection item content of the selection item over a previously displayed display region when the identification section identifies the operating body as being in proximity to the selection item and configured to end a display of the region including the selection item content of the selection item when the detection section no longer detects the operating body as being in proximity to the display screen. | 06-30-2011 |
20110175830 | Display control apparatus, display control method and display control program - A display control apparatus may include a proximity detector to detect proximity of an indicator to a display surface, and a touch detector to detect touch of the indicator against the display surface. A control unit may control display of an indicant on the display surface when the proximity detector detects that the indicator is in proximity to the display surface, and may determine whether the indicant is selected based on detection of the touch of the indicator against the display surface by the touch detector. | 07-21-2011 |
20120131506 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An apparatus and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, a method may obtain metadata associated with corresponding values of a first characteristic and a second characteristic of a plurality of content elements. A display including a plurality of display elements may be generated, and the content elements may be assigned to corresponding ones of the display elements, based on a comparison between first and second characteristic values and first and second characteristic value ranges. A first signal may be generated to display a representation of the display to a user, and a selection of a display element may be received from the user. The method may obtain a content element assigned to the selected display element. | 05-24-2012 |
20120254757 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus having an input configured to receive a first operation and a second operation input by a user, a playback unit configured to obtain predetermined data and play back the data based on the operation input by the user from the input; and a display control unit configured to control, in correspondence with a virtual hierarchical structure for classifying the predetermined data, a display of a display screen indicating each hierarchy level, and for controlling a display of a predetermined mark in the display screen. The display control unit also controls the display of the predetermined mark corresponding to the predetermined data which is played back by the playback unit in a manner different from other non-selected marks while the predetermined mark is being selected. | 10-04-2012 |
20130003396 | Light-Emitting Device Including a Dual Emission Panel - There is a problem in a dual emission device emitting light out of both surfaces that an image on the surface and an image on the rear surface are different from each other (either image is mirror-reversed). A dual emission device is disclosed in which either light emitted from the light-emitting device is reflected by glass including a semi-transmissive film to display on glass an image same as another image obtained also from the light-emitting device, and simultaneously, external information can be viewed through the glass. A mirror can be arranged between the dual emission device and the glass including a semitransparent film. | 01-03-2013 |
