Abstract:
When information in a read/write unit for reading/recording from/to a recording medium contains information of a plurality of decoding/reproduction units, there is provided a recording method for recording additional information on information of the decoding/reproduction unit while correlating it to the decoding/reproduction unit. Time series information is data-compressed and recorded on the recording medium. Each of the decoding/reproduction unit of the time series information compressed is recorded by adding to it the management information for decoding/reproduction processing. The additional information on the information in the decoding/reproduction unit is recorded while correlating it to the management information for decoding/reproduction processing of the information in the corresponding decoding/reproduction unit.
Abstract:
To classify both information created by an own device and recorded on a recording medium and information supplied externally and recorded on the recording medium according to creation date and time information without impairing advantages of the classification. Each image data file recorded on the recording medium has an original recorded file flag added thereto which flag indicates whether the image data file is obtained by photographing by the own device. Photographing date and time information is added to an image data file obtained by photographing by the own device. Obtainment date and time information is added to an image data file supplied externally. In a classification process, an original recorded file flag is checked (step S1). An obtainment date and time is used for an image data file obtained externally (step S2). A photographing date and time is used for an image data file obtained by photographing (step S3). A classification process is performed (step S4). A result of the classification process is displayed (step S5).
Abstract:
When finalizing a recording medium, information on each chapter contained in the recording medium is reflected in a top menu. A title search section (310) reads out title information on each title of moving picture data recorded on an optical disc from the optical disc as a recording medium. According to the title information thus obtained, a chapter search section (320) reads out the chapter information on each chapter in each title. According to the chapter information thus obtained, a representative image selection section (340) selects a representative image in each chapter. According to the chapter information obtained by the chapter search section (320), a menu creation section (350) creates a top menu containing a display area for reproducing each chapter.
Abstract:
An image detecting apparatus having an edit function and exhibiting a high operability and a good affinity is provided. In a case where an image reproducing system comprising an MPEG video decoder (23), an image signal post-processing circuit (24), a combining part (26) and an NTSC encoder (27) has been adapted to reproduce image data recorded in a recording medium (18), when a chapter mark key on a remote control (150) is depressed, a CPU (40) acquires information for determining the image to be reproduced and displayed and records it in the recording medium (18). A still image producing circuit (25) displays, with reference to the image to which the chapter mark has been added, a scaled-down still image. In this way, a target image is determined, and reproduction and edition are performed with reference to the determined target image.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method for supplying an optimum amount of image data to another apparatus. When a PDA 91 has a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps, a mobile phone 1 determines that a maximum speed of communication with the PDA 91 is low, reduces accordingly the amount of moving image data captured by a CCD of the mobile phone, and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA 91. The PDA 91 displays a low-quality moving image 93 on its display unit. When the PDA 91 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, the CPU of the mobile phone leaves unchanged the amount of moving picture data captured by the CCD and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA 91. The PDA 91 then displays a high-quality moving image 94 on the display unit. This invention applies advantageously to digital cameras.
