Abstract

A playback display device including: a display unit; a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place; a movement display control unit which displays a mark moving on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route; and an image playback unit which displays image data when, while the movement display control unit displays the mark moving on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data.

Claims (34)

1. A playback display device comprising:

a display unit;

a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place;

a movement display control unit which displays a mark moving on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

an image playback unit which displays image data when, while the movement display control unit displays the mark moving on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data;

a travel means identification unit which identifies travel means at each place on the travel route; and

a display mode changing unit which changes a scale of the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the travel means identified by the travel means identification unit.

2. A playback display method for displaying an image by using a display unit and a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place, the method comprising:

displaying a mark moving along the travel route on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

displaying image data when, while displaying the mark moving along the travel route on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data;

identifying travel means at each place on the travel route; and

changing a scale of the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the identified travel means.

3. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program for controlling a computer, the computer being connected to a display unit and a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place, and the program controlling the computer to function as units comprising:

a movement display control unit which displays a mark moving on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

an image playback unit which displays image data when, while the movement display control unit displays the mark moving on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data;

a travel means identification unit which identifies travel means at each place on the travel route; and

a display mode changing unit which changes a scale of the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the travel means identified by the travel means identification unit.

4. A playback device comprising:

a display unit;

a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place;

a movement display control unit which displays a mark moving on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

an image playback unit which displays image data when, while the movement display control unit displays the mark moving on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data;

a travel means identification unit which identifies travel means at each place on the travel route; and

a display mode changing unit which changes a type of line representing the travel route on the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the travel means identified by the travel means identification unit.

5. A playback display method for displaying an image by using a display unit and a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place, the method comprising:

displaying a mark moving along the travel route on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

displaying image data when, while displaying the mark moving along the travel route, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image capturing place associated with the image data;

identifying travel means at each place on the travel route; and

changing a type of a line representing the travel route on the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the identified travel means.

6. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program for controlling a computer, the computer being connected to a display unit and a data storage unit which stores data representing a travel route and a plurality of pieces of image data each associated with an image capturing place, and the program controlling the computer to function as units comprising:

a movement display control unit which displays a mark moving on a map displayed on the display unit based on the data representing the travel route;

an image playback unit which displays image data when, while the movement display control unit displays the mark moving on the map, a displayed position of the mark matches a corresponding position of the image data capturing place associated with the image data;

a travel means identification unit which identifies travel means at each place on the travel route; and

a display mode changing unit which changes a type of a line representing the travel route on the map on which the mark is displayed, based on the travel means identified by the travel means identification unit.
