Electronic apparatus and face image display control method of the electronic apparatus

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus displays face images in each column of a plurality of face image display areas arranged in a matrix based on time stamp information, and displays thumbnail images in time-series in a thumbnail display area arranged at one side of a lower side or an upper side in the two dimensional display area. The apparatus displays one of the thumbnail images with a normal size and displays the others such that the lateral direction sizes are reduced in comparison with that of the thumbnail displayed in the normal size. And, the apparatus performs display control of the plurality of thumbnail images such that a thumbnail image corresponding to a section to which a selected face image belongs is displayed with the normal size, when the face image in the two dimensional display area is selected.

1 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:
 a first image display module configured to display one or more images on a first display area; and   a second image display module configured to display one or more face images on a second display area, the one or more face images being extracted from the one or more images,   wherein the first image display module comprises a link display controller configured to update image display on the first display area in response to selection of one of the one or more face images on the second display area.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the one or more images comprises images corresponding to a plurality of frames selected from respective sections obtained by dividing video content data at even time intervals,   further comprising a reproduction processing module, when an instruction to select one of the one or more image on the first display area is issued and an instruction to reproduce the video content data is issued, the reproduction processing module starting to reproduce the video content data from a head point of a section including a frame corresponding to the selected one image.   
     
     
         3 . A method of controlling of image display for an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
 displaying one or more images on a first display area;   displaying one or more face images on a second display area, the one or more face images being extracted from the one or more images; and   updating image display on the first display area in response to selection of one of the one or more face images on the second display area.   
     
     
         4 . A computer-readable, non-transitory nonvolatile storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer, the computer program controlling the computer to function as:
 a first image display module configured to display one or more images on a first display area; and   a second image display module configured to display one or more face images on a second display area, the one or more face images being extracted from the one or more images,   the computer program further controlling the computer which functions as the first image display module to function as a link display controller configured to update image display on the first display area in response to selection of one of the one or more face images on the second display area.
