An image reproducing apparatus includes: an image pick up device which picks up an image recorded on a recording medium; a reproduction designator which designates a reproduction area of the picked up image and sets a reproduction manner of reproducing an image in the reproduction area; a control change amount setter which calculates a change amount of reproduction state of the image every a predetermined period based on the set reproduction manner and sets a control change amount based on the calculated change amount; and a controller which controls the reproduction in such a way that the reproduction state changes at the set control change amount.

A system for reproducing a subtitle from an optical recording medium and a method thereof. The system reconfigures a subtitle menu during reproducing data from an optical disc and selects the reconfigured menu in order to play the optical disc. The method includes selecting a play menu from the optical recording medium to be played, reconfiguring and storing menu execution information, and executing the play menu previously reconfigured whenever playing the previously played optical disc or a newly played optical disc. Once a setup menu is reconfigured before or during playing of the disc. the previously configured menu is applied when the optical disc is played again or a new optical disc is played.

In an image transmission method of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when compressed image data Dv obtained by compressively coding digital image data corresponding to a moving picture is transmitted, an identification flag Hfd indicating whether or not the compressed image data is suitable for use in random and independent reproduction, is transmitted subsequently to a synchronous signal Hsd positioned at the beginning of a header Hv. At a reproducing end for reproducing the compressed image data transmitted according to the image transmission method, when analyzing the header Hv added to the compressed image data Dv corresponding to one moving picture, it is decided whether or not the compressed image data Dv is suitable for use in the random reproduction in a short time, by analysis of the identification flag Hfd.

A system and method for automatically linking DVD text to recommended viewing, based on a viewer selection of a word or phrase displayed in a DVD-based program. A microprocessor in a PVR associated with the TV can automatically record TV programming or recommend additional products and/or programs based on the selected word or phrase from the DVD text.

A plurality of devices control system embodying the invention comprises a video cassette recorder 2 having a function for transmitting state data representing state of its own device to a TV receiver 1 in response to a request for state made by the receiver 1, and a function for multiplexing the display of state representing state of its own device onto reproduced image and transmitting the multiplexed result to the receiver 1. When a change occurs in the state of its own device, and a request for state is made by the receiver 1, the video reproducing device ceases its OSD function. On the other hand, when a change occurs in the state of its own device, and no request for state is made by the receiver 1, the OSD function is brought into an operation.

When various content is broadcasted via the Internet, a user is free from restriction of time and space and user's desired content is provided. The content is controllably recorded and read to a random-access recording medium via a network, and at least the content read from the recording medium is transmitted to the network.

A combo system and method having a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit on a second recording medium. A detector detects whether a predetermined copy preventing signal exists within the signal played by the play unit. A controller controls the recording unit to stop a recording operation of the recording unit when the copy preventing signal is detected by the detector.

The invention relates to a method of switching between video signals in an image switching apparatus which has a switch for switching between the video signal supplied by a camera and the video signal supplied by a recording apparatus, and a circuit for processing the video signal coming from the recording apparatus. According to the invention, the processing circuit compares the video signal coming from the recording apparatus with the video signal supplied by the camera and then sets an operating mode on the basis of the comparison result. The output signal from the recording apparatus is a signal which comes from a tape in the replay mode. In the recording and stop modes, the signal entering the recorder is looped through to the output of the video recorder. The two signals have a correlation to each other. A conclusion can thus be drawn on whether the image switching apparatus should work in the replay mode or the recording mode by means of simple comparison.

Systems and methods for optimizing the use and availability of storage space in a video data recording system. An intelligent disk recording and management system selectively assigns tags to determine the manner and/or priority of recording programs onto a storage device and the priority of maintaining the programs on the storage device once the programs are recorded. The tags are automatically assigned based on known user preferences or are assigned by the viewer, and can be modified once a program is replayed. The tags allow the system to automatically determine whether or not to record over a previously recorded program and which previously recorded program to record over so as to allow the storage device to be more efficiently and optimally used. The system further includes an interface that provides improved assistance and explanations that relate to the recording of programs and the maintaining of the recorded programs on the storage device.
