Abstract

There is provided a display control device including an operation detection unit configured to detect an enlargement operation on any image displayed within a display screen among a plurality of images having a predetermined relation, and a display control unit configured to determine a display area of the image based on the detected enlargement operation and to cause a portion corresponding to the display area to be enlarged and displayed for each of the images displayed within the display screen.

Claims (23)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use with a processor included in an apparatus, wherein the computer-readable medium is encoded with instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

display plural thumbnail images that are included as frames within a first moving image that is stored on a recording medium, the plural thumbnail images being displayed along a predetermined direction on a display;

scroll the plural thumbnail images in response to a drag operation in which an operating body is moved along the display in the predetermined direction, the moving operating body being detected by a touch sensor on the display;

display, in a designated display field, successive frames corresponding to the thumbnail images as the thumbnail images are scrolled, at least one frame displayed in the designated field being displayed in an enlarged format that is larger than the displayed plural thumbnail images in response to a pinch operation by the operating body on the touch sensor, with an enlargement ratio determined in response to an amount of change of the operating body; and

store a second moving image based on the designated display field, wherein the second moving image is stored separately from the first moving image.

2. The medium of claim 1 , in which the processor displays a slider and the thumbnail images are scrolled by operation of the slider.

3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the pinch operation comprises movement of two elements of the operating body; and in which the processor causes the apparatus to display the at least one selected thumbnail image in the designated display field as an enlarged thumbnail image based on separation of the two elements.

4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the pinch operation is a pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the designated display field is positioned at a location based on the location of touch points of the pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the enlargement ratio is determined in response to an amount of change in interval between the touch points.

5. A method for controlling a display of moving images, comprising:

displaying plural thumbnail images that are included as frames within a first moving image that is stored on a recording medium, the plural thumbnail images being displayed along a predetermined direction on a display;

scrolling the plural thumbnail images by moving an operating body along the display in the predetermined direction, the moving operating body being detected by a touch sensor on the display;

displaying, in a designated display field, successive frames corresponding to the thumbnail images as the thumbnail images are scrolled, at least one frame displayed in the designated field being displayed in an enlarged format that is larger than the displayed plural thumbnail images in response to a pinch operation by the operating body on the touch sensor, with an enlargement ratio determined in response to an amount of change of the operating body; and

storing a second moving image based on the designated display field, wherein the second moving image is stored separately from the first moving image.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising displaying a slider and operating the slider to scroll the thumbnail images.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pinch operation comprises moving two elements of the operating body; and the at least one selected thumbnail image is displayed as an enlarged thumbnail image based on separation of the two elements.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pinch operation is a pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the designated display field is positioned at a location based on the location of touch points of the pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the enlargement ratio is determined in response to an amount of change in interval between the touch points.

9. An information processing apparatus for controlling a display of moving images, comprising:

a display including a touch sensor configured to detect a moving operating body on the display;

a processor configured (a) to cause plural thumbnail images that are included as frames within a first moving image that is stored on a recording medium to be displayed along a predetermined direction on the display, (b) to cause the plural thumbnail images to be scrolled in response to a drag operation of the operating body along the display in the predetermined direction and (c) to cause successive frames corresponding to the thumbnail images to be displayed, in a designated display field on the display, as the thumbnail images are scrolled, at least one frame displayed in the designated field being displayed in an enlarged format that is larger than the displayed plural thumbnail images in response to a pinch operation by the operating body on the touch sensor, with an enlargement ratio determined in response to an amount of change of the operating body; and

a store for storing a second moving image based on the designated display field, wherein the second moving image is stored separately from the first moving image.

10. The information processing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the display displays a slider and the thumbnail images are scrolled by operation of the slider.

11. The information processing device of claim 9 wherein the pinch operation comprises movement of two elements of the operating body; and in which the processor causes the display to display the at least one thumbnail image in the designated display field as an enlarged thumbnail image based on separation of the two elements.

12. The information processing device of claim 9 , wherein the pinch operation is a pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the designated display field is positioned at a location based on the location of touch points of the pinch-out or pinch-in operation and the enlargement ratio is determined in response to an amount of change in interval between the touch points.
