Abstract
The present invention relates to video recording and playback apparatuses in which a video camera directly accesses a server via a network and can therefore send and receive data. A network access program 26c stored in a storage unit 26 controls a GMT program 26b; adds time-difference information for each area stored in area information 26a, which is stored in a RAM 24c built into a microcomputer 24, and information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect; and, based on time information generated by a real-time clock, which is set using date and time setting processing, calculates World Standard Time, that is to say, Greenwich Mean Time. The present invention can be adapted to video cameras, for example.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus having an imaging function, comprising
- an input unit;
- time setting means for setting the time using said input unit;
- area setting means for setting an area using said input unit;
- summertime information setting means for setting, using said input unit, information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect;
- and
- world standard time calculating means for calculating said world standard time from the time set using said time setting means, the area set using said area setting means, and the information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect, which is set using said summertime information setting means.
An information processing method for an information processing apparatus having an imaging function, said information processing method comprising:
- a time setting step of setting the time using said input unit;
- an area setting step of setting an area using said input unit;
- a summertime information setting step of setting, using said input unit, information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect;
- a world standard time calculating step of calculating said world standard time from the time set by the processing of said time setting step, the area set by the processing of said area setting step, and the information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect, which is set by the processing of said summertime information setting step.
A recording medium in which a computer-readable program is recorded, said program controlling an information processing apparatus having an imaging function, the program comprising:
- a time setting control step of controlling the setting of the time using said input unit;
- an area setting control step of setting an area using said input unit;
- a summertime information setting control step of setting, using said input unit, information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect;
- and
- a world standard time calculating control step of controlling the calculation of said world standard time from the time set by the processing of said time setting control step, the area set by the processing of said area setting control step, and the information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect, which is set by the processing of said summertime information setting step.
A program, in a computer for controlling an information processing system having an imaging function, for executing:
- a time setting control step of controlling the setting of the time using said input unit;
- an area setting control step of setting an area using said input unit;
- a summertime information setting control step of setting, using said input unit, information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect;
- and
- a world standard time calculating control step of controlling the calculation of said world standard time from the time set by the processing of said time setting control step, the area set by the processing of said area setting control step, and the information indicating whether or not summertime is in effect, which is set by the processing of said summertime information setting control step.
