Abstract

The present invention relates to a display control device, a display control method, and a program, enabling realization of various playing display using frame images subjected to compositing processing as a motion transition image.
A recording medium has recorded therein, as a series of recording frame image data, each of composited image data generated by sequentially performing image compositing processing for each input of frame image data, each of composited image data being enabled of moving image display in which a moving subject image in each frame image data is sequentially placed so as to be arrayed in a predetermined direction, with each recording frame image data being playable. In accordance with operation of an operation input unit such as a touch panel, a frame position to be played is determined out of the series of recording frame image data, and playing of the recording frame image data at the determined frame position is executed. Thus, a scene which the user desires to view out of the motion transition image can be easily viewed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display control device, comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
cause a display unit to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order based on a user instruction on the display unit from a first position to a second position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data, and
invalidate a user instruction on the display unit if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein
the second position is a position ahead of or behind the first position in a predetermined direction.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to, in accordance with a dragging operation detected as said user instruction, execute playing of the plurality of recording frame image data from a frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, to recording frame image data at a frame position ahead or behind the frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, and perform display control of the played recording frame image data.

3. The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an end frame position which is a frame position ahead of or behind a start frame position, said frame start position being a frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, in accordance with a dragging operation amount per time increment and dragging operation direction detected as said user instruction, execute playing of the recording frame image data from said start frame position to said end frame position sequentially, and perform display control of the played recording frame image data.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
receive the uninvalidated user instruction on the display unit via a touch panel.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 , further comprising the display unit.

6. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to, in accordance with a flicking operation detected as the uninvalidated user instruction, execute playing of the plurality of recording frame image data from a frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, to recording frame image data at a frame position ahead or behind the frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, and perform display control of the played recording frame image data.

7. The display control device according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an end frame position which is a frame position ahead of or behind a start frame position, said frame start position being a frame position of the recording frame image data of which playing output is currently being performed, in accordance with a flicking operation speed and flicking operation direction detected as said uninvalidated user instruction, execute playing of the recording frame image data from said start frame position to said end frame position sequentially, and perform display control of the played recording frame image data.

8. A display control method, comprising:
receiving a user instruction on a display;
causing the display to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order if the user instruction is made on a first position and a second position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data; and
invalidating a user instruction on the display if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein the second position is a position ahead of or behind the first position in a predetermined direction.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions that, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to execute a method comprising:
receiving a user instruction on a display;
causing the display to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order if the user instruction is made on a first position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data, and a second position; and
invalidating a user instruction on the display if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein the second position is a position ahead of or behind the first position in a predetermined direction.

10. A display control device, comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
cause a display unit to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order based on a user instruction on the display unit on a first position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data; and
invalidate a user instruction on the display unit if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein
the uninvalidated user instruction is made in a direction ahead of or behind the first position.

11. The display control device according to claim 10 , further comprising the display unit.

12. A display control method, comprising:
receiving a user instruction on a display;
causing the display to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order if the user instruction is made on a first position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data; and
invalidating a user instruction if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein the uninvalidated user instruction is made in a direction ahead of or behind the first position.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions that, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to execute a method comprising:
receiving a user instruction on a display; and
causing the display to display a plurality of recording frame image data in chronological order if the user instruction is made on a first position if the first position is within a most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data; and
invalidating a user instruction on the display if the first position is outside the most recently input frame image data of currently displayed recording frame image data,
wherein the uninvalidated user instruction is made in a direction ahead of or behind the first position.
