Abstract:
An external storage device is connected to an image pickup apparatus provided with a first image storage medium capable of storing plural taken images and image display means, and adapted for backup of image information stored in the first image storage medium. The device includes a second image storage medium, a connection detecting unit, a reception unit, a transfer means, a conversion unit, and a second transfer unit. The transfer unit writes predetermined taken image information read from the first image storage medium into the second image storage medium and erases the predetermined taken image information from the first image storage medium according to a detection output of the connection detecting unit and an output of the reception unit. The conversion unit converts the predetermined taken image information into an image matching a display ability of the image display means. The second transfer unit writes the converted image information in the first image storage medium.
Abstract:
CPU 10 generates memory card loading/unloading information, based on memory card loading/unloading detection signals inputted from memory I/O 16. Memory I/O 16 works even when the power supply is in the OFF condition. CPU 10 also generates memory card control information of loaded memory cards A 5 and B 6, and stores it in RAM 11. When the power supply is re-activated, CPU 10 recognizes that memory card control information was stored in RAM 11 under the power OFF condition, generates memory card control information of loaded memory cards A 5 and B 6, and compares that with memory card control information which was stored in RAM 11 when the power was turned off, and then judges whether loaded memory cards A 5 and B 6 are the same as the cards which were used when the power was turned off.

Abstract:
An image pick-up apparatus comprises: a camera body; an image pick-up element which converts optical images into electric signals; a controller which controls the image pick-up element. The controller can either read or write data between a first memory and the controller and also between a second memory and the controller via a first common bus, and the camera body is structured so that the first memory can be removed therefrom and attached thereto. The image pick-up apparatus further comprises a sensor which detects that the first memory has been removed from the camera body and then outputs a detected signal.
Abstract:
Image data is transmitted from an image input apparatus to an information processing apparatus. Specific information (e.g., photographing information) that specifies the image data, and identification information (e.g., a disk name) that identifies an optical disk on which the image data is recorded, are added to the image data. Further, the specific information and the identification information are stored in a storage device. Subsequently, specific information that matches with an input keyword is searched from the specific information stored in the storage device. Then, the searched specific information and the identification information corresponding to the searched specific information are displayed in a list on a display. By performing a keyword adding process and an image searching process, the optical disk containing desired image data can be easily specified. Therefore, desired image data recorded on the optical disk can be easily searched.
Abstract:
Digital image data can be edited easily to reflect a preference or an intention of a user. Sizes of free spaces and used spaces of recording media of different types are read and displayed on a display device by using the same scale for the same sizes. By enabling the user to visually confirm the sizes in this manner, the digital image data sets can be edited.
Abstract:
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by an imaging section is disconnectable has a user-information reading section and an operation-stage deciding section. The user-information reading section reads user information previously stored in the external memory when the external memory is mounted. The operation-state deciding section decides an operation state of the digital camera based on the user information read by the user-information reading section.
Abstract:
A digital camera includes a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit sequentially outputs a plurality of frames of still image data that correspond to an object image. When a shutter button is operated in an animation mode, one frame of the still image data is recorded into a magnetooptical disk in a compressed state. When a display mode 2 is selected in the animation mode, recorded latest still image data and the still image data output from the signal processing circuit are alternately selected so as to display on a monitor a moving image on the basis of the selected still image data.
Abstract:
A scan request is analyzed to determine which application has issued the scan request. Depending on the analysis result, it is determined whether image data obtained by scanning a document using a scanner is stored in a semiconductor memory or on a hard disk. The image data is assigned an identifier indicating the recording medium in which the image data is stored, the type of the job, the document, the image file type, and the number of pages. The image data is processed in accordance with the identifier. This allows the data to be processed by the application in an optimum manner depending on the application.
