Patent ID: 7782332

Claim:
An image displaying device for reading image data which is assigned frame numbers from a recording medium in order to reproduce and display the image data, comprising: a reproduction list creating unit for creating and registering a first reproduction list comprising a first frame number list corresponding to a first group of said image data, each image of the first image data being assigned a frame number provided in a first group of positive integers consecutive from frame number “1,” and a second reproduction list in which a second frame number list of a second group of said image data, each image of the second image data being assigned a frame number provided in a second group of consecutive integers lying within a prescribed range in which a frame number decreases from a largest frame number and wherein the frame numbers of the first and second groups of frame numbers do not overlap; a frame number setting unit for setting a frame number corresponding to image data to be reproduced and displayed; a display for displaying the image data corresponding to the frame number set by the frame number setting unit; and an image changing unit for reading a frame number corresponding to the set frame number from one of the first reproduction list and the second reproduction list and changing image data being currently displayed on the display to a display of the image data corresponding to the read frame number set by the frame number setting unit, wherein the image changing unit reads from the recording medium image data corresponding to the largest frame number in the second reproduction list, and changes image data corresponding to the frame number “1” being currently displayed on the display to a display of the image data corresponding to the largest frame number registered in the second reproduction list when image data with the frame number “1” is displayed on the display and the frame number setting unit is operated so that a frame number is set in a decreasing direction, and the image changing unit reads, from the recording medium, image data corresponding to the frame number “1” from the first reproduction list and changes the image data with the largest frame number being currently displayed on the display to the image data corresponding to the frame number “1” when image data corresponding to the largest frame number is displayed on the display and the frame number setting unit is operated so that a frame number is set in an increasing direction.
