Abstract
In order that, even if a large amount of photographed images are present within an image pickup apparatus, processing of determining the degree of progress of transfer can be promptly performed with a slight burden, and a display of the degree of progress is not displayed, i.e., a display of progress of transfer can be promptly performed after an instruction to start transfer, a signal indicating the status of progress of transfer of data files is output based on the number of transmission directories acquired by a transmission-directory acquisition unit and the number of transmitted directories acquired by a transmitted-directory acquisition unit.
Claims49
An information processing system for transferring a data file between information processing apparatuses, each including a storage device, said system comprising:
- transmission-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmission directories having each data file to be transmitted as a subordinate directory;
- transmitted-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmitted directories having each transmitted data file as a subordinate directory;
- and
- first generation means for generating a signal indicating a status of progress of transfer of data files, based on the number of transmission directories acquired by said transmission-directory acquisition means and the number of transmitted directories acquired by said transmitted-directory acquisition means.
An information processing apparatus for transferring a data file to an external apparatus including a storage device, said apparatus comprising:
- transmission-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmission directories having each data file to be transmitted as a subordinate directory;
- transmitted-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmitted directories having each transmitted data file as a subordinate directory;
- and
- generation means for generating a signal indicating a status of progress of transfer of data files, based on the number of transmission directories acquired by said transmission-directory acquisition means and the number of transmitted directories acquired by said transmitted-directory acquisition means.
An information processing apparatus for receiving a data file from an external apparatus including a storage device, said apparatus comprising:
- transmission-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmission directories having each data file to be transmitted as a subordinate directory;
- transmitted-directory acquisition means for acquiring a number of transmitted directories having each transmitted data file as a subordinate directory;
- and
- generation means for generating a signal indicating a status of progress of transfer of data files, based on the number of transmission directories acquired by said transmission-directory acquisition means and the number of transmitted directories acquired by said transmitted-directory acquisition means.
An information processing system for transferring a data file between information processing apparatuses, each including a storage device, said system comprising:
- first acquisition means for acquiring a capacity of use of a storage device of an information processing apparatus serving as a transfer source;
- second acquisition means for acquiring an amount of data whose transfer has been completed;
- and
- calculation means for calculating a degree of progress based on a comparison between the capacity of use acquired by said first acquisition means and the amount of data acquired by said second acquisition means.
An image pickup system comprising:
- an image pickup apparatus including a storage device;
- an information processing apparatus;
- and
- a communication channel through which data can be transferred between said image pickup apparatus and said information processing apparatus,
- wherein, when transferring image files within the storage device of said image pickup apparatus to said information processing apparatus at a time, a degree of progress based on a comparison between a total number of transmission directories having each image file to be transmitted as a subordinate directory and a total number of transmitted directories having each transferred image file as a subordinate directory is displayed.
An image pickup system comprising:
- an image pickup apparatus including a storage device;
- an information processing apparatus;
- and
- a communication channel through which data can be transferred between said image pickup apparatus and said information processing apparatus,
- wherein, when transferring image data within the storage device of said image pickup apparatus to said information processing apparatus at a time, a degree of progress is displayed based on a comparison between a capacity of use of the storage device of said image pickup apparatus and an amount of transferred image data.
An information processing method for transferring a data file between information processing apparatuses, each including a storage device, said method comprising:
- a transmission-directory acquisition step of acquiring a number of transmission directories having each data file to be transmitted as a subordinate directory;
- a transmitted-directory acquisition step of acquiring a number of transmitted directories having each transmitted data file as a subordinate directory;
- and
- a first generation step of generating a signal indicating a status of progress of transfer of data files, based on the number of transmission directories acquired in said transmission-directory acquisition step and the number of transmitted directories acquired in said transmitted-directory acquisition step.
An information processing method for transferring a data file between information processing apparatuses, each including a storage device, said method comprising:
- a first acquisition step of acquiring a capacity of use of a storage device of an information processing apparatus, serving as a transfer source;
- a second acquisition step of acquiring an amount of data whose transfer has been completed;
- and
- a display step of displaying a degree of progress based on a comparison between the capacity of use acquired in said first acquisition step and the amount of data acquired in said second acquisition step.
An information processing method for sequentially processing a plurality of data files stored in a storage device, said method comprising:
- a processing-directory acquisition step of acquiring a number of processing directories having each data file to be processed as a subordinate directory;
- a processed-directory acquisition step of acquiring a number of processed directories having each processed data file as a subordinate directory;
- and
- a first generation step of generating a signal indicating a status of progress of processing of data files, based on the number of processing directories acquired in said processing-directory acquisition step and the number of processed directories acquired in said processed-directory acquisition step.
An information processing method for sequentially processing a plurality of data files stored in a storage device, said method comprising:
- a first acquisition step of acquiring a capacity of use of the storage device;
- a second acquisition step of acquiring an amount of data whose processing has been completed;
- and
- a display step of displaying a degree of progress based on a comparison between the capacity of use acquired in said first acquisition step and the amount of data acquired in said second acquisition step.
