Abstract:
A recording device and a recording method capable of recording both of moving picture data and still picture data in such a manner that they can be reproduced by various reproduction devices. The moving picture data is data-compressed by the MPEG method in an MPEG encoder (2), formed into recording data corresponding to a predetermined recording format in a format formation section (3), and recorded in a DVD (100) while the still picture data is data-compressed by the JPEG method in a JPEG encoder (6) and recorded in the DVD (100) separately from the moving picture data. At a predetermined timing, the still picture data which has been data-compressed by the JPEG method and recorded in the DVD (100) is read out and converted into an I picture of the MPEG method in a format conversion section (7). The I picture is recorded in the aforementioned predetermined format in the DVD (100) via the format formation section (3).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a dual optical disk driver which is capable of driving two sheets of optical disks with simple constitution and small size and is capable of driving an optical head to arbitrarily access two sheets of the optical disks. SOLUTION: This dual optical disk driver has rational driving means for rotationally and simultaneously driving the first and second optical disks 1 and 2 having recording surfaces facing each other and the optical head 6 disposed between the first and second optical disks 1 and 2. The optical head 6 has convergent light changeover irradiating means 14, 15a and 15b which change over the convergent light emitted form the optical head 6 and irradiate the respective recording surfaces of the first and second optical disks 1 and 2 with the convergent light.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to select an arbitrary mode from among menu selection items displayed in a visible display screen, by easy and quick operation, and to improve the operability of photographic mode selection. SOLUTION: A photographing processing apparatus is provided with; a flash memory 16 for storing a plurality of photographic mode information D1 for operating a photographic means 30; a CCD 3 which detects the photographic environment information surrounding a subject; a DSP 5 which controls the flash memory 16 so as to extract display candidates of photographic mode information D1 applicable to the detected photographic environment; and a display device 7 which displays photographic mode information D1 of display candidates extracted by the control. BY the configuration, display of menu selection items which are not adapted to the photographic environment can be excluded, so that the user uses an operation means 50 to select an intended photographic mode from restrictively narrowed-down menu selection items, when the subject is photographed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record both moving image data and still image data so as to reproduce the data in various kinds of reproducing apparatuses. SOLUTION: Still image data compressed by a JPEG scheme and recorded on a DVD 100 are read out and converted into I-Picture of an MPEG scheme in a format converting unit 7, and recording data converted into I-Picture are recorded on the DVD 100 in the predetermined format through a format forming unit 3. In such a case, first data storing information indicating an arbitrary still picture of the recording data and second data storing a pointer to the first data for referring to a reproducible position in the recording data are recorded on the recording medium together with the recording data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow easy print ordering without any increase in an operation load of a user. SOLUTION: In a service system for transferring a print ordering image, which is generated in a user terminal such as a personal computer PC used by the user and a cellular phone with a camera, to a print system via a network for printing the print ordering image, a dedicated area is arranged in a part of a storage area of the user terminal. The user terminal is called from a server (provider server or the like) on the network, and existence of the print ordering image inside the area is confirmed. The print ordering image is transferred to the print system to be printed, and then, delivery processing and the like of a print result is carried out. On the server side, accounting processing, settlement processing and the like are carried out when print processing is completed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to select desirable image processing via a network. SOLUTION: In a print service system, in which image data and order information are transmitted to a server of a print system from a user terminal such as a PC via the network for ordering printing, the user can set desirable setting for image processing carried out in printing via the network. In this process, setting contents include outline emphasis, hue, color density, gradation, and contrast (blueness of the sky and a color tone of a human skin). Inside the server, a plurality of images formed by processing an ordered image in several steps as to each setting are generated and transmitted to the user terminal to be displayed. The user selects a desirable image from among the images displayed in the user terminal, and a selection result is transmitted to the server to be stored in the server. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record both the motion picture data and still image data in a mode reproducible by various reproduction apparatuses. SOLUTION: The apparatus performs data compression for the motion picture data by the MPEG system in a MPEG encoder 2, forms data for recording corresponding to a predetermined recording format in a format-forming part 3, and records them in a DVD 100; performs data compression for the still image data by the JPEG system in a JPEG encoder 6, and records in the DVD 100 separately from the motion picture data. The apparatus reads the still image data compressed by the JPEG system and recorded in the DVD 100, converts them into an I picture of the MPEG system in a format converter 7, and records them in the DVD 100 in the predetermined format through the format-forming part 3.
