PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve efficient reproduction for a viewer by reproducing a highlight scene corresponding to a keyword in a recorded program in a recording/reproducing machine where a digital broadcast is recorded and reproduced. SOLUTION: Program data of the program included in the digital television broadcast received from a broadcast station 800 is recorded. A reception program keyword list 920 storing the keyword on a broadcast content in a time band is received from a service company server 900 on a plurality of time bands obtained by dividing the broadcast of the program by the time band. A video and voice in the time band corresponding to the keyword satisfying a prescribed condition is reproduced among the keywords stored in received reception program keyword list 920.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate switching of the operation mode of an imaging apparatus even if there is no cradle.SOLUTION: A connection detection unit 71 detects an external connection request. More specifically, the connection detection unit 71 detects USB connection with an external device 61. A positional relationship determination unit 72 determines positional relationship of the camera body, the display body, and the frame body. A camera mode activation unit 73 activates a WEB camera mode when USB connection is detected by the connection detection unit 71 and the positional relationship determination unit 72 determines the stand state (state of Fig. 2(A)). The camera mode activation unit 73 activates a slide show mode and a charge mode when USB connection is detected by the connection detection unit 71 and the positional relationship determination unit 72 determines a state other than the stand state.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically record a desired image which is hardly affected by a change of images that are sequentially taken. SOLUTION: An imaging device 1 performs a process in which a center area of a frame 606 is set as a focus area when an operation in which a shutter button 3 is half-pressed is detected in a through image display state, a center pixel area of the focus area is specified as a pixel area to be traced, and it is determined whether or not this specified pixel area satisfies a condition of the traced target (step S9). When the condition is satisfied (met), a pixel area 608 is traced until when an operation in which the shutter button 3 is full-pressed is detected (step S12) and when the operation in which the shutter button 3 is full-pressed is detected, the frame 606 is fixedly displayed in a display unit 6 (step S14). When a state in which the pixel area 608 is changed (step S15) or the pixel area is in contact with or moves outside the frame 606 is detected (step S16), a recording process by high speed continuous imaging is immediately started (step S18).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform consecutive photographing at time intervals desired by a photographer even during consecutive photographing, and further, to easily retrieve a desired image from among consecutively photographed images. SOLUTION: In a recording/reproducing method, frame image data are acquired at an ordinary photographing frame rate of 30 fps, and sequentially recorded correspondingly to the lapse of time (S105). It is judged whether a frame rate change in response to operation of a lever switch is detected (S106). The lapse of time at a point of time when the frame rate change is detected, is acquired by a clock unit and frame image data are acquired from an imaging unit and sequentially recorded at the changed frame rate (S107). Therefore, processing of capturing frame image data at the changed frame rate in S107 enables a user (photographer) to acquire his/her desired image in consecutive photographing. Moreover, in reproduction, reproduction speed information corresponding to the frame rate during photographing is superimposed on an image and displayed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of easily obtaining the time lag of depressing a shutter button and to provide a program therefor. SOLUTION: When a deviation timing is not recorded among a plurality of frame images obtained by consecutive imaging, a frame image which is picked up when a shutter is fully pressed, is displayed first (S9). When the deviation timing is recorded, a frame image corresponding to the deviation timing from the frame image which is picked up when the shutter is fully pressed, is displayed (S10). When a cross key is operated before operating a set key, a frame image to be displayed is changed in accordance with the operation (S12, S13). When the set key is operated, the frame image being displayed is recorded and a deviation of imaging timings between the recorded frame image and the frame image in fully pressing the shutter is recorded (S15).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record attached data according with accuracy, in matching with the movement of a subject in photographing of animation. SOLUTION: When a shutter key is operated, photographing of the animation is started (step S107). In this case, only the photographing of the animation is started, and stop watch function is not started. Based on a series of frame images that are accumulated sequentially in a buffer memory, it is decided whether the animation of a first noticing image is varied from being static to being dynamic (step S108). When the animation is varied from being static to being dynamic, the stop watch function is started (step S110). Based on the series of frame images accumulated sequentially, it is decided whether a second noticing image is varied from being static to being dynamic (step S113); and when the decision becomes YES, stop watch function is stopped, and recording of time data is also stopped (step S115). However, accumulation of animation images in the buffer memory is continued, without being stopped. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital broadcast receiving/recording device which is for receiving and recording a program of digital terrestrial broadcasting and capable of recording home page information of a program-related URL together by acquiring it, if the program-related URL is included in data broadcast when recording the program of digital television broadcast. SOLUTION: When recording a broadcast program, image/voice data of a digital broadcast program received by a digital broadcast receiver 18 are acquired from an image processor 19 and recorded into an image/voice data memory in a memory 12. Concurrently, home page data are acquired and recorded into a Web data memory in the memory 12 after accessing a program-related Web site from a network processor 13 according to the URL included in the data broadcast. Consequently, the home page data directly corresponding to the broadcast program at the time of recording can be surely recorded, reproduced, and displayed even when the home page related to the program is lost or the contents of the home page are changed after recording the broadcast program.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a video recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing digital broadcast that properly controls reproduction speed, when reproducing a recorded program so as to realize efficient reproduction for the viewer. SOLUTION: When a program of a terrestrial digital television broadcast is recorded, the video recording and reproducing apparatus 1 stores (records) contents data 64 for cross-referencing a broadcast elapsed time with metadata denoting scene contents, together with video data 62 and audio data 63 to an HDD 60 as one set of video recording program data 61. When the recorded program is reproduced, the video recording and reproducing apparatus 1 reproduces scenes, including keywords stored in reproduction speed data 44 wherein the keyword and the reproduction speed are cross-referenced with each other among scenes represented by the metadata stored in the contents data 64 at the reproduction speed cross-referenced with the keyword.
