Abstract:
An image output control apparatus includes a recognition unit for recognizing mounting of a recording medium, a reading unit for reading image-reproduction instruction data recorded in the recording medium based on the recognition of the mounting, and a generation unit for performing image generation for output by selectively reading necessary image data from the information recording medium in accordance with the image-reproduction instruction data.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device and a method of memory management for the same. In one embodiment, the mobile communication device includes: (1) a camera, (2) a memory unit coupled to the camera and configured to store captured image data and (3) a transmitter coupled to the memory unit and configured to transmit captured image data via a wireless network to a receiving device, the mobile communication device configured to automatically adjust available storage space on the memory unit by transmitting selected digital image data stored in the memory unit to a receiving device and deleting the selected digital image data from the memory unit.
Abstract:
An image memory apparatus includes a unit for storing input image information, a unit for designating a storing capacity of the storing unit for the input image information, and a control unit for performing storing control of the storing unit for the input image information in accordance with an instruction from the designating unit.
Abstract:
An electronic pickup camera including an electronic pickup element which photoelectrically converts an object image to form an image signal, an image conversion unit which converts the image signal formed by the electronic pickup element to image data of a predetermined format, a storage unit which stores the image data converted by the image conversion unit, a transmission unit which enables transmission of the image data stored in the storage unit to an external device, and a control unit which makes a decision as to whether an external device to which the transmission unit transmits the image data is a predetermined external device, and selects an accompanying process for the transmission, on the basis of a result of the decision. One embodiment of the invention relates to the deletion of the transmitted image data. For example, it is possible to provide an electronic camera which determines whether a device to which image data is transmitted is an operator's PC, and automatically deletes transmitted data only when the electronic camera determines that the device is the operator's PC.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus and method includes an input device to which image data is inputted, a recorder which records the inputted image data into a recording medium, an eraser which erases the recorded image data in the recording medium, a protector which protects from an erasure setting so as to protect from erasure by the eraser of the recorded image data, and a display which displays a list of reduced images of a plurality of image data recorded in the recording medium. While the recorder is controlled utilizing a filing system and the list of reduced images of the plurality of image data recorded in the recording medium is displayed, the display is controlled so as to display a mark indicating that protection from erasure is set with respect to the recorded image data for which protection from erasure is set by the protector.
Abstract:
A method and system for managing data transmission between an external memory and an internal memory of an electronic apparatus is provided. The system includes an interactive interface for outputting messages that indicate real-time storage status of the internal memory and external memory card. When an external memory card is inserted, the system automatically duplicates files stored in the internal memory to the external memory card, and deletes the files in the internal memory upon determining that the files have been successfully transferred to the external memory card by matching the file names of the files in the internal memory to the external memory card. The system further includes a clamping means for securely clamping the portion of the external memory card that is exposed outside the electronic apparatus to avoid unintentional detachment of the external memory card from the electronic apparatus.
Abstract:
When image shooting is performed in a mode that records plural images in response to a single shooting instruction and deletion is instructed on a shot-image confirmation screen that displays the shot image data immediately after the shooting, the plural image data generated by the same shooting instruction are all collectively deleted. On the contrary, in a playback mode, when deletion is instructed to one of the plural image data shot by the same shooting instruction, only the one image that has been instructed for deletion is deleted. This feature improves usability of the image sensing apparatus capable of recording plural images in response to a single shooting instruction.
Abstract:
A data recording system and method are provided which, when the removal of a recording medium is detected during data writing, the data recording system retains accessed processing not executed in the data writing, and executes the retained access processing when the removed recording medium is inserted again into the data system.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, first, images of a particular object to be printed are obtained, and a particular object to be printed is extracted from the obtained images. Then, an image of the extracted object is searched from the images stored in the storage, and the searched image is printed. In this manner, the image of a particular object among the images stored in the storage can be easily printed.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus is connected to a terminal apparatus via a network. The communication apparatus includes a storage that stores a document file and an HTML file of a user setting page. A file manager stores a storage period for the document file, determines whether or not the document file has been stored in the storage for the storage period, and deletes the document file when the document file has been stored in the storage for the storage period. A web server transmits, to the terminal apparatus, the HTML file of the user setting page, the user setting page configured so that a user at the terminal apparatus can request a change of the storage period. The web server further instructs the file manager to change the storage period, when the user requests the change of the storage period.
