摘要:
A camera which records positional data, which is obtained by a GPS unit during photographing, and image data on a memory card. The camera receives the positional data representing the photographing place from the GPS unit, and records the positional data and the image data on the memory card. While the GPS unit is measuring the position to obtain the positional data to be recorded, an image pickup circuit including a CCD sensor, etc. which converts image light into an image signal, a recording circuit for recording the image signal on the memory card, an LCD monitor which is used as a view finder, a strobe unit and a printer are halted.

Apparatus for playing back a rotary magnetic recording medium has a magnetic head for sensing color video signals provided by raster scanning out of a plurality of tracks, each of which is provided on the recording medium in such a locus that a beginning and an end of recording thereof coincides with each other in relative position, a head transport mechanism for transporting the head to a desired one of the tracks, a controller for performing tracking by controlling the head transport mechanism responsive to video signals which are sensed by the head out of the recording medium, and a video signal processing circuit made up a luminance signal processing circuit and a chrominance signal processing circuit for producing color video signals sensed out by the head in the form of standard color television signals. The controller normally prevents the chrominance signal processing circuit from superposing a color burst on a video signal during at least a part of a vertical blanking period in the raster scanning, and allows the chrominance signal processing circuit to superpose a color burst on a video signal during the tracking control.

Playback apparatus for a rotary recording medium includes a playback head for sensing signals from a plurality of tracks which are formed on a rotary recording medium in such a manner that the front end of recording operation continues to the last end thereof; a head move unit for movably supporting the playback head; an envelope detect device for detecting an envelope of signals sensed by the playback head; and a control unit for controlling the head move unit to move the playback head to a desired one of the plurality of tracks based on the detected envelope. The control unit, in order to control the head move unit to move the playback head in a first direction, is adapted to count the distance moved by the playback head with reference to a predetermined reference position, and to control the head move unit to move the playback head in a second direction opposite to the first direction when an envelope is not detected successively at track positions associated with a predetermined number of tracks.

According to the present invention, face parts to be compared are set by the comparison target setting section based on the number of images of a group of search target images. Then, a retrieval target image and each image of the group of search target images is compared by the set face parts. An image with a particular correlation is determined to be a similar image and retrieved from the group of images to be compared. Thereby, it is possible to perform quick retrieval based on the number of images of the group of search target images.

摘要:
Before obtaining service from an installed terminal, a mobile unit can be authenticated (subauthenticated) only by the operation of the mobile unit such as an unauthenticated digital camera, etc. using an authenticated mobile phone. A digital camera is radio-connected with an installed terminal, and the digital camera is also radio-connected with a mobile phone of a user. The installed terminal center is notified of the identification code of the mobile phone through the digital camera and the installed terminal. The installed terminal center inquires of the carrier center about the validity/invalidity of the mobile phone. Upon receipt of the notification of the validity of the mobile phone from the carrier center, the installed terminal center permits service to the installed terminal in the installed terminal.
摘要:
To provide a communication terminal apparatus including a first wireless communication unit that can connect with a host computer, a second wireless communication unit that can connect with connecting equipment by wireless, an equipment information storage unit for storing image information showing an appearance of the above-described connecting equipment, a display unit for displaying the appearance of the connecting equipment, and a designating unit for establishing communication with the connecting equipment thereafter, which is designated, when the appearance of the desired connecting equipment that is displayed in the above-described display unit is designated, in which, since the above-described wireless communication unit receives and displays image information showing the appearance of the above-described connecting equipment from the host computer if the image information showing the appearance of the above-described connecting equipment is not stored in the equipment information storage unit. Hence it becomes possible for the communication terminal apparatus to receive the appearance and product names of all the connecting equipment that are connected to the communication terminal apparatus, to display them in the display unit, and to establish communication.
摘要:
A digital still camera is designed so that even a beginner can acquire photographic technique. To this end, picture-taking advice conforming to the subject of photography is displayed, in a shooting mode, on the display screen of a liquid crystal display device with which the camera is provided. By viewing the displayed picture-taking advice, the user becomes aware of the essentials of photography. The user is prevented from making picture-taking errors by shooting in accordance with the picture-taking advice.
摘要:
In an electronic still camera, a mechanical shutter is opened in synchronizing with a synchronizing signal generated by a synchronizing signal generating circuit, a solid state electronic imaging device is exposed while the mechanical shutter is being opened, and a video signal outputted from the imaging device and representing an imaged subject is processed by a signal processing circuit. The synchronizing signal generating circuit starts the generation of the synchronizing signal in response to a shutter release by a shutter release button. The mechanical shutter is opened in synchronizing with a synchronizing signal which is generated after a predetermined constant time period elapses from the start of the operation of the synchronizing signal generating circuit, and is closed after time necessary for exposure elapses from the opening of the mechanical shutter.
摘要:
In an image data transfer system including an electronic still camera and equipment separably connected to the camera, the camera has an imaging device for shooting a desired subject. A signal converter converts an image signal generated by the imaging device to digital image data. A data processor executes predetermined image processing with the digital image data. A transmitting section sends the processed image data output from the data processor to the equipment. A controller controls the transmitting section in such a manner as to control a transfer rate for transferring the image data to the equipment. The equipment has a receiving section connected to the transmitting section of the camera by a data line for transferring the image data, and a control line for reporting to the camera the permission/inhibition of data transfer from the camera by using an ON/OFF control signal. The controller controls, at the time of transfer of the image data to the equipment, the transmitting section so as to send a transfer rate set command representative of a transfer rate to the equipment over the data line. In response, the receiving section reports to the camera whether or not the equipment accepts the transfer rate by varying the ON/OFF control signal in the form of pulses.
