Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus for temporarily stopping reproduction of an accumulation image automatically when a display mode for displaying a broadcast image (image obtained from a broadcast wave) and the accumulation image (image obtained from a storage medium) is switched to a display mode for displaying only the broadcast image, and automatically resuming the reproduction of the accumulation image when the display mode for displaying only the broadcast image is switched to the display mode for displaying the broadcast image and the accumulation image.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus having a first display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, and a second display mode for displaying the first image on the display means but not displaying the second image, the apparatus comprising:
- control means for stopping a reproduction of the second image when an instruction for switching the first display mode to the second display mode is detected.
A control method in an image processing apparatus having a first display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, and a second display mode for displaying the first image on the display means but not displaying the second image on the display means, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an instruction for switching the first display mode to the second display mode;
- and
- stopping a reproduction of the second image when the instruction is detected.
An image processing apparatus having a display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, the apparatus comprising:
- synthesizing means for not synthesizing the first image and the second image when an instruction for temporarily stopping a reproduction of the second image is detected while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means.
A control method in an image processing apparatus having a display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an instruction for temporarily stopping the reproduction of the second image while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means;
- and
- executing control not to synthesize the first image and the second image when the instruction is detected.
An image processing apparatus having a first display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, and a second display mode for displaying the second image on the display means but not displaying the first image, the apparatus comprising:
- determining means for determining whether an instruction for switching the first display mode to the second display mode is detected or not;
- and
- recording means for starting recording of the first image when the instruction is detected.
A control method in an image processing apparatus having a first display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, and a second display mode for displaying the second image on the display means but not displaying the first image, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining whether an instruction for switching the first display mode to the second display mode is detected or not;
- and
- starting recording of the first image when the instruction is detected.
An image processing apparatus having a display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, the apparatus comprising:
- first image processing means for increasing a size of the first image when an instruction for temporarily stopping a reproduction of the second image is detected while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means;
- and
- second image processing means for decreasing a size of the second image when the instruction for temporarily stopping the reproduction of the second image is detected while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means.
A control method in an image processing apparatus having a display mode for displaying a first image obtained from a broadcast wave and a second image reproduced from a storage medium on display means, the method comprising the steps of:
- increasing a size of the first image when an instruction for temporarily stopping a reproduction of the second image is detected while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means;
- and
- decreasing a size of the second image when an instruction for temporarily stopping the reproduction of the second image is detected while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display means.
