Abstract

When “0” indicating that intensity of a stereoscopic effect is the lowest is applied as a stereoscopic effect tag, a stereoscopic image is allowed to be displayed as it is. On the other hand, when “1, 2, and 3” are applied as the stereoscopic effect tag, a reduction ratio is determined depending on a value of the stereoscopic effect tag (one-half, one-third, etc.). On the basis of this reduction ratio, the stereoscopic image is displayed and letters of “warning” are displayed. A user selects whether to display the stereoscopic image according to a producer's intention or to maintain the size-reduced stereoscopic image. If an operation requiring for a display of the stereoscopic image as it is intended by the producer is performed, an original stereoscopic image is displayed.

Claims (23)

1. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a detecting portion for detecting information indicating stereoscopic effect intensity added to a stereoscopic image to be displayed;

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image by rendering a size smaller than an original-size based on said information indicating the stereoscopic effect intensity of the stereoscopic image and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow an original-size stereoscopic image; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the original-size stereoscopic image when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

2. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a detecting portion for detecting information indicating stereoscopic effect intensity added to a stereoscopic image to be displayed;

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image by rendering a stereoscopic effect weaker than an original stereoscopic effect based on said information indicating the stereoscopic effect intensity of the stereoscopic image and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow a stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

3. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a determining portion for determining stereoscopic effect intensity of a stereoscopic image to be displayed;

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image by rendering a size smaller than an original-size based on said determined stereoscopic effect intensity and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow an original-size stereoscopic image; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the original-size stereoscopic image when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

4. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a determining portion for determining stereoscopic effect intensity of a stereoscopic image to be displayed;

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image by rendering a stereoscopic effect weaker than an original stereoscopic effect based on said determined stereoscopic effect intensity and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow a stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

5. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image to be displayed by rendering a size smaller than its original-size based on stereoscopic effect intensity of the stereoscopic image and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow an original-size stereoscopic image; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the original-size stereoscopic image when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

6. A stereoscopic image generating device, comprising:

a display for displaying a stereoscopic image to be displayed by rendering a stereoscopic effect weaker than its original stereoscopic effect based on stereoscopic effect intensity of the stereoscopic image and requiring an input indicating whether or not to allow the stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect; and

an executing portion for executing a display of the stereoscopic image having the original stereoscopic effect when receiving information indicating an allowance from a user side.

7. A stereoscopic image generating device according to any one of claims 1 to 6 , wherein a warning is displayed on a screen in a state of a size-reduced display or in a state of a stereoscopic effect-weakened display.
