    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make speedily and efficiently retrievable a desired information by determining the arbitrary number of items concerning acquired, selected and recorded information, preparing a classification, which includes the determined items, and recording the prepared classification. SOLUTION: When an operating signal is inputted, it is stored in a work memory 29 by a recorder control part 26 that a program at the position of a cursor at that time is determined as a program to be recorded. A user selects the directory of a file for this program to be recorded. This selection is also performed by moving the cursor to a prescribed position and inputting the operation of determination. When the user completely inputs the item of the required directory, reserving processing is executed. When an icon button of 'to record' is selected, the recorder control part 26 controls an OSD control part 31, displays the message of 'reservation procedure has been completed' and displays an icon button of 'understand'.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable only a part of the data of a memory cell array to be rewrit ten when the data is inputted through a serial port by previously writing the prescribed lines of the data in the serial port before transferring the serial inputted data to the prescribed line of the memory cell array. CONSTITUTION:Before the data is serially inputted, the prescribed Rn lines of data on the memory cell array MS is transferred to the serial port SP and after the data is serially inputted to the serial part SP where the prescribed lines of data is written, the data of the serial port of which part associating with the serial inputted data is rewritten is transferred to the prescribed line Rn of the memory cell array MS. Thus, even when the one part of the data of which size is smaller than that of the serial port is rewritten by the serial input, the prescribed lines of data are preserved on the rest of it and only the one part of the data on the memory cell array can be rewritten.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transmit data by being converted into a bit rate corresponding to a network. SOLUTION: When a transmission request of contents is decided as received from a client in a step S1, the response of the transmission request is transmitted in a step S2, the quality (bit rate) of the designated contents is read from a database in a step S3, and the band of a network is ensured in a step S4. Whether or not the quality of the contents is larger than a prescribed available bandwidth is decided in a step S5, and when the quality is decided as larger, the dynamic conversion processing of the contents quality is carried out in a step S6 to convert the contents into transmissible quality in a corresponding network. In a step S7, the contents are transmitted to the client, and when the data transmission is decided as finished in a step S8, the band of the network is released and the processing is finished in a step S9.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To transmit still picture information and caption information related to above-mentioned information together without losing the still picture information by writing a caption corresponding to a projected still picture image in a caption memory and reading it with the contents of a still picture memory to transmit. CONSTITUTION:A digital still picture signal stored in a frame memory 4 is read and supplied to a monitor receiver 7 through a D/A converter 5 so as to project the still picture on a CRT screen. As an operator watches the still picture on the screen, the operator inputs the caption (photographing date such as year, month, day and hour, a title, etc.) corresponding to the still picture by using a keyboard 13 or a tablet 15 and writes it in a caption memory 11 as a code signal. On the screen of the monitor receiver 7 the still picture and the caption put on the picture are projected. The contents of the frame memory 4 and the caption memory 11 is read so as to be supplied to a communication interface 19 to be transmitted.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration capable of reducing power consumption by allowing the operation status of a GPS device to shift, depending on the photographing status of a user. SOLUTION: In an imaging apparatus such as a video camera or a still camera having the GPS (global positioning system) device, the frequency of photographing by the user is measured, a control parameter as a condition of transition of the operation status of the GPS device is decided or updated based on the measured frequency of photographing, and the status transition of the GPS device is executed based on the decided or updated control parameter. With this configuration, for example, if the usage frequency is low, the parameter is updated so that an intermittent operation period for executing intermittent power supply to the GPS device may be set longer, and thus, useless power consumption in the GPS device is prevented and battery consumption is suppressed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically determine an optimal image size in accordance with zoom magnification designated from a user.
    SOLUTION: An operation accepting section 110 accepts a zoom operation instruction from a user. A generation image size determination section 122 determines a generation image size in accordance with the zoom magnification supplied from the operation accepting section 110. An optical zoom magnification determination section 130 determines a zoom magnification section of an optical zoom in accordance with the zoom magnification supplied from the operation accepting section 110. An optical block 140 comprises an optical zoom function for optically performing magnification and performs optical zooming in accordance with the optical zoom magnification instructed from the optical zoom magnification determination section 130. An image conversion processing section 180 generates a required image in accordance with the generation image size supplied from the generation image size determination section 122. Thus, the image size corresponding to the zoom magnification instructed from the user is automatically selected and an indication on a display section 190 or recording in an image recording section 220 is performed.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make a correct color gradation display of external video data by performing gamma correction processing for pieces of video information for the respective colors by a gamma correcting means to the same gamma correction quantity with internally handled video information. CONSTITUTION:A 2nd decoder 4 generates video data of R(red), G(green), and B(blue) having each pixel composed of, for example, 8 bits from luminance data and two color difference data and supplies the data to a frame memory (storage means) 5. The video data for the respective colors which are read out of the frame memory 5 are processed by gamma correction through gamma correcting circuits 6R, 6G, and 6B for the respective colors to the gamma correction quantity matching a monitor device 11 provided in this work station, and the color gradations are adjusted to the color gradations of the video data handled in the work station. Therefore, an image regarding the external video signal to be displayed on the monitor device 11 is displayed with the correct color gradations matching the color gradations of the work station.
