Abstract
An information signal processing apparatus according to the present invention is arranged to receive, as an input, an information signal to temporarily store therein the input information signal and to temporarily store therein management information prepared during a recording of the information signal in the recording medium, thereby recording the temporarily stored information signal and management information in the recording medium. Accordingly, it is possible to record an information signal having a large amount of information in the recording medium without lowering a recording speed and it is also possible to easily reduce the size, weight and cost of the apparatus.
Claims21
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) recording means for recording the information signal in the recording medium;
- and
- (B) temporarily storing means for receiving, as its input, an information signal, temporarily storing therein the input information signal and storing therein management information prepared during a recording of the information signal in the recording medium.
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) recording means for recording the information signal in the recording medium;
- (B) temporarily storing means for receiving, as an input, an information signal and temporarily storing the input information signal;
- and
- (C) controlling means for executing setting as to whether to store, in said temporarily storing means, management information prepared during a recording of the information signal in the recording medium, according to a state of storage of the information signal stored in said temporarily storing means.
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) recording means for recording the information signal in the recording medium;
- (B) temporarily storing means for receiving, as an input, an information signal and temporarily storing the input information signal;
- and
- (C) controlling means for executing setting as to whether to store, in a portion of a storing area of said temporarily storing means, management information prepared during a recording of the information signal in the recording medium, according to a state of storage of the information signal stored in said temporarily storing means, storing the management information in the set storing area of said temporarily storing means, and recording both the information signal and the management information stored in said temporarily storing means in the recording medium.
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) management information adding means for receiving, as an input, an information signal and adding management information corresponding to an order of recording of the information signal in the recording medium to the information signal during a recording of the input information signal in the recording medium;
- and
- (B) recording means for recording in the recording medium the information signal to which the management information is added by said management information adding means.
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) temporarily storing means for receiving, as an input, an information signal and temporarily storing the input information signal;
- (B) display means for displaying a state of a recording capacity of the information signal in said temporarily storing means;
- (C) recording means for reading the information signal temporarily stored in said temporarily storing means and recording the read information signal in the recording medium;
- and
- (D) controlling means for controlling said temporarily storing means and said recording means so that the information signal temporarily stored in said temporarily storing means is recorded in the recording medium by said recording means and for causing said display means to display the state of the recording capacity of the information signal in said temporarily storing means.
An information signal processing apparatus arranged to record an information signal in a recording medium, comprising:
- p1 (A) image pickup means for picking up an image of a subject and generating an image signal indicate of the picked-up image of the subject;
- (B) state-of-image-pickup-operation controlling means for controlling a state of an image-of-subject pickup operation which is executed in said image pickup means;
- (C) temporarily storing means for receiving, as an input, an image signal generated by said image pickup means and temporarily storing the input image signal;
- (D) display means for selectively displaying the state of the image-of-subject pickup operation in said image pickup means which state is controlled by said state-of-image-pickup-operation controlling means or a state of a recording capacity of the information signal in said temporarily storing means;
- (E) recording means for reading the information signal temporarily stored in said temporarily storing means and recording the read information signal in the recording medium;
- and
- (F) controlling means for controlling said temporarily storing means and said recording means so that the information signal temporarily stored in said temporarily storing means is recorded in the recording medium by said recording means and for causing said display means to selectively display the state of the image-of-subject pickup operation in said image pickup means or the state of the recording capacity of the information signal in said temporarily storing means.
A recording and reproduction processing apparatus arranged to record still image data and sound data in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) decision means for determining whether a combination of the still image data and the sound data recorded in the recording medium is appropriate, on the basis of a recording time of each of the still image data and the sound data;
- and
- (B) processing means for combining, if said decision means determines that the combination of the still image data and the sound data is appropriate, the still image data with the sound data and executing predetermined processing.
A recording and reproduction processing apparatus arranged to record still image data and sound data in a recording medium, comprising:
- (A) decision means for determining whether a combination of the still image data and the sound data recorded in the recording medium is appropriate, on the basis of a recording time of each of the still image data and the sound data;
- and
- (B) inhibiting means for inhibiting, if said decision means determines that the combination of the still image data and the sound data is inappropriate, the operation of combining the still image data with the sound data and executing predetermined processing.
