    • In contrast to prior art picture database browsing and retrieving methods which require the tedious opening and perusing of directories, folders and files, the present-inventive graphical user interface system (500) and method produces several display levels (100,200,300,400) of user-friendly geographical/map metaphors from picture metadata with picture icons (116, 216, 316) representing pictures captured at locations on maps. The characteristics of the display levels (100, 200, 300, 400) are programmable by the user. In the preferred embodiment, the size of the picture icons (116, 216, 316) is proportional to the number of pictures captured at the icon location. Further features of the present-inventive graphical user interface (GUI) include a “tool tip” which appears indicating the number of pictures represented by a picture icon (116, 216, 316), when the screen cursor is placed over the picture icon (116, 216, 316). In an example according to the present-inventive GUI, the first display level (100) includes a world map metaphor (114) with picture icons (116) located at the global capture locations of the pictures in the picture database. Each additional display level (200, 300, 400) provides greater geographic specificity of the picture capture locations. Such additional display levels include continent or country of capture (200), state or territory of capture (300), and city or town of capture (400), etc., with the last display level including thumbnail representations (430-448) of the pictures captured at the specified capture locations.
    • 与现有技术的图片数据库浏览和检索方法相反,图形数据库浏览和检索方法需要繁琐的打开和浏览目录,文件夹和文件,本发明的图形用户界面系统(500)和方法产生用户友好地理的几个显示级别(100,200,300,400) 将来自图片元数据的隐喻与映射在地图上的位置捕获的图片的图标图标(116,216,316)进行比较。 显示级别(100,200,300,400)的特性可由用户编程。 在优选实施例中,图标图标(116,216,316)的大小与在图标位置捕获的照片数量成比例。 本发明的图形用户界面(GUI)的另外的特征包括当屏幕光标放置在图片图标上时出现的指示由图片图标(116,216,316)表示的图片数量的“工具提示” 116,216,316)。 在根据本发明的GUI的示例中,第一显示级别(100)包括具有位于图像数据库中的图像的全局捕获位置处的图标图标(116)的世界地图比喻(114)。 每个附加显示级别(200,300,400)提供图像捕获位置的更大的地理特异性。 这样的附加显示级别包括大陆或捕获国(200),捕获状态或领域(300)以及捕获的城市或城镇(400)等,其中最后显示级别包括缩略图(430-448) 在指定的捕获位置拍摄的照片。
