Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005076211A1] The invention is in the technological area of the creation and communication of digital images. The invention relates to a method that enables, previously saved digital images to be created, selected and displayed from a terminal (1, 2). An advantage of this method is that it provides a user-friendly solution, avoiding the operations of opening and closing image files, when a terminal user wishes to view several images of an image collection. More particularly the invention relates to a display control method of a digital image (10), selected from among a collection of digital images (9-N), the method comprising the following steps: first, the automatic creation of a composite image (8), or container image, made up of individual images (9-17), the container image (8) being subdivided into many more-or-less adjacent areas, or tiles, and each individual image having respectively set dimensions and a set location in the container image corresponding to one tile; second, the automatic display of the container image (8) and the activation. of each tile of the container image (8) as a pointer to the individual image data (9-17) corresponding to said tile, and, in response to the selection by a user of one of the tiles, the enlarged display of the individual image (10) corresponding to the selected tile.
