摘要:
An image retrieval method and an image retrieval apparatus are disclosed in which it is possible to identify in which image-information recording medium or in which group an image to be retrieved is included. The image retrieval apparatus has a recording controller for recording image information on a disk drive or a hard disk drive. A reduction/expansion controller generates an index picture of a predetermined group of the image information. A retrieval-information storage unit generates index picture IDs, medium IDs, and folder IDs while correlating the above different types of IDs with each other, and stores the IDs together with the index pictures. With this arrangement, a desired item of image information is retrieved by using the index pictures, the index picture IDs, the medium IDs, and the folder IDs. It is thus possible to obtain a target image by sequentially checking the index picture visually.

A device for managing image and audio files displays thumbnails, which are representative of the files, on a screen in different arrangements, depending on the selected layout and order. When the user enters input to indicates that he or she wishes to browse through the thumbnails, the thumbnails move across the screen in sequence, following a path through a focus outline in the center of the screen. The path followed by the thumbnails depends on the selected layout.

A video-image selection unit cyclically acquires at least two types of video images. A replacing mask determination unit selects, for each acquired video image, a mask pattern for masking a video image acquired by the video-image selection unit by replacing some pixels composing the video image with pixels of a single color such that said some pixels are spatially removed. Based on the mask pattern, the video-image replacing unit replaces said some pixels composing the video image with the pixels of a single color. A video-image output unit outputs the video image for which the replacement was performed. When selecting a mask pattern, the replacing mask determination unit selects a mask pattern that is different from a mask pattern used for the last video image, the mask pattern being different in the position of pixels not to be replaced with pixels of a single color.

An information processing apparatus and a program are provided to execute a sequence of processing operations including the recording of video data recorded to a first recording medium in a first format to a second recording medium in a second format without user's manual intervention. When a startup block detects that a digital video tape can be acquired from a DV, a processing control block makes a DVD format block, a check block, a bit rate setting block, an acquisition block, a menu creation block, and a DVD write block sequentially execute their processing operations in this order as sequence of processing operations, thereby recording the video data recorded to the digital video tape loaded on the DV to a DVD loaded on a DVD-R/RW drive without user's manual intervention.

Disclosed is an information processing apparatus which ends application programs when a recording medium is pulled out. In step S1, it is determined whether or not a Memory Stick is loaded in a Memory Stick slot. If a Memory Stick is found loaded, the procedure goes to step S2. In step S2, a display program and a reading program are started. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the loaded Memory Stick is being accessed. If the loaded Memory Stick is found being accessed, then, in step S4, the Memory Stick is locked. In step S6, if the Memory Stick is found pulled out, then, in step S7, the display program and the reading program are ended.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus adapted to execute a sequence of processing operations for recording video data recorded to a first recording medium in a first format to a second recording medium in a second format, without user's manual intervention. Any one of three settings is provided in accordance with total time Tx of data to be written to a DVD: a first setting in which a maximum value of image bit rate (first value B1) and a maximum value of audio bit rate (second value B2) are used; a second setting in which a first value of image bit rate and a third value B3 of audio bit rate are used; and a third setting in which a fourth value of image bit rate determined on the basis of line 152 and the third value B3 of audio bit rate are used. The present invention is applicable to information processing apparatuses for recording the data recorded to a digital cassette video tape to a DVD.
