Patent ID: 8887053

Claim:
An image data display system, comprising: an image data input unit to which image data and attribute information of the image data are inputted; an image display screen which displays the image data or the attribute information; an input unit to which character information or an operation command is inputted by a user; a control unit which controls the image data display system; and a memory unit which stores a control program to control the image data display system, wherein the control unit executes processings of: creating a cluster which includes a plurality of the image data based on a directory which stores the image data; designating a directory name of the directory as a first cluster name candidate, wherein the first cluster name candidate is the directory name which conforms to DCF (Design rule for Camera File System) standard; calculating a period when the image data included in the cluster is created as an image creation period based on a creation date and time of the image data and designating the image creation period as a second cluster name candidate; designating an arbitrary character string as a third cluster name candidate in response to a provision of the character string to the cluster via the input unit; creating a slide show table which is used for creating a cluster name of the cluster and associatedly stores the first cluster name candidate, the second cluster name candidate, and the third cluster name candidate; and determining whether or not the directory name conforms to the DCF standard, and when the directory name does not conform to the DCF standard, the control unit changes the directory name to a name which conforms to the DCF standard, the memory unit stores the slide show table, and the image display screen executes processings of: combinedly displaying any two of the first cluster name candidate, the second cluster name candidate, and the third cluster name candidate stored in the slide show table as the cluster name of the cluster, and displaying the image data included in the cluster to which the cluster name is provided as a slide show in response to a selection of the cluster via the input unit.
