Abstract
Abstract An image reproducing device that displays frames or index images of still images and moving images so that a user can distinguish the still images from the moving images when looking at them in one-frame reproducing or index reproducing. The display style of the still images is different from that of frames of the moving images. For example, each still image has a white frame like a picture, and a frame of each moving image has perforations like a movie film. Therefore, the user can distinguish the still images from the moving images when looking at them.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: a selecting device that selects a file from a storage medium storing both files of still images and files of moving images; a first display that displays a still image on an image monitor when the file selected by said selecting device contains image data of the still image; a second display that displays a frame of a moving image on the image monitor when the file selected by said selecting device contains image data of the moving image, a display style of the frame of the moving image being different from that of the still image, wherein said second display shakes the frame of the moving image; and a third display that displays the moving image on the image monitor if a user operates said image reproducing apparatus for moving image reproduction when the frame of the moving image is being displayed on the image monitor by said second display.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: a selecting device that selects a file from a storage medium storing both files of still images and files of moving images; a first display that displays a still image on an image monitor when the file selected by said selecting device contains image data of the still image; a second display that displays a frame of a moving image on the image monitor when the file selected by said selecting device contains image data of the moving image, a display style of the frame of the moving image being different from that of the still image, wherein said second display shakes the frame of the moving image; and a third display that displays the moving image on the image monitor if a user operates said image reproducing apparatus for moving image reproduction when the frame of the moving image is being displayed on the image monitor by said second display.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
117 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: an index reproduction setting device that selects files from a storage medium storing both files of still images and files of moving images and sets index reproduction; and a display that constructs index images of the still images and the moving images of the files selected by said index reproduction setting device according to image data of the files and displays the index images on the image monitor when said index reproduction setting device sets the index reproduction, a display style of the index image of the still image being different from that of the index image of the moving image, wherein said display shakes the index image of the moving image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
117 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: an index reproduction setting device that selects files from a storage medium storing both files of still images and files of moving images and sets index reproduction; and a display that constructs index images of the still images and the moving images of the files selected by said index reproduction setting device according to image data of the files and displays the index images on the image monitor when said index reproduction setting device sets the index reproduction, a display style of the index image of the still image being different from that of the index image of the moving image, wherein said display shakes the index image of the moving image.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
The image reproducing apparatus as defined in claim 2 , further comprising: a selecting device that selects a still image or a moving image according to the index images of the still images and the moving images displayed on the image monitor; and a device that displays the still image on the image monitor when the still image is selected by said selecting device and displays the moving image on the image monitor when the moving image is selected by said selecting device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
93 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: an index reproduction setting device that selects files from a storage medium storing both files of still images and files of moving images and sets index reproduction; and a display that constructs index images of the still images and the moving images of the files selected by said index reproduction setting device according to image data of the files and displays the index images on the image monitor when said index reproduction setting device sets the index reproduction, said display shaking the index image of the moving image.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
