Abstract: A method for producing a motion video image file from a motion image sequence, includes the steps of providing a first target data rate for a first image frame of the motion image sequence; compressing the first image frame using the first target data rate, and storing the compressed first image frame in a motion video image file; providing a second target data rate for subsequent image frames of the motion video sequence, the second target data rate being lower than the first target data rate; and compressing the subsequent image frames of the motion image sequence using the second target data rate. The method further includes the steps of storing the compressed subsequent image frames in the motion video image file; decompressing the compressed first image frame; and using the decompressed first image frame to provide a still image representative of the motion video image file.

Abstract: A digital image storage system includes a digital camera having a memory capable of storing digital images and a data storage including an adapter on which the digital camera is to be laid down. The data storage includes a storage medium that stores the digital images transmitted from the memory through the adapter and a controller that carries out a program for conducting the transmission and the storage of the digital images. The data storage further includes a detector that detects a signal from the adapter to have the program start. The program is designed to wait a command for a predetermine period to follow the command if the command comes within the predetermined period and to take a predetermined course if the predetermined period has expired without the command.

Abstract: An image storage for storing digital still image data is connected to a television set for selectively watching a broadcast program in a first mode or a still image transmitted from the image storage in a second mode. The image storage has an input circuit for receiving a control signal form the television set and an output circuit for transmitting a still image signal to the television set on the basis of the digital still image data, the output circuit being responsive to the control signal. The television set, on the other hand, has an output circuit for transmitting the control signal to the image storage. By means of the control signal, the image storage is automatically turned on or off when the television set is turned on or off, respectively. The control signal makes image storage operative or inoperative when the television set is in the second mode or in the first mode, respectively, to save power consumption with the television set in the first mode. The image storage may be further connected to a printer, wherein the image storage further has an output circuit for transmitting an output signal to the printer in response to the control signal from the television set, the output signal being an image signal to be printed or a control signal for the printer function.
