Abstract
According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus comprises a measuring section adapted to transfer and record one or more files stored in a storage region in the recording device registered via the communication section and network, measure recording time from the start to the end of recording, and then, transfer the recorded file, thereby measuring transfer time from the start to the end of transfer. The communication apparatus further comprises a control section which divides capacity of the file by the recording time.
Claims18
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a measuring section adapted to record a file stored in a storage region in a recording device and measure a recording time from a start to an end of recording, and then, to measure a transfer time from a start of a transfer of the recorded file from the recording device to an end of the transfer upon receipt by the communication apparatus;
- and
- a control section to (i) compute a recording speed being a ratio of a capacity of the file and the recording time measured by the measuring section, and a reproduction speed being a ratio of the capacity of the file by the transfer time measured by the measuring section, and (ii) generate a display signal that displays a plurality of picture recording modes and identifies whether any of the plurality of picture recording modes would concurrently support tracking reproduction on the basis of the measured recording speed and reproduction speed.
A communication method comprising:
- registering a recording device over a network for use in a recording process;
- transferring a file via the network to and storing the file in a storage region in the registered recording device;
- measuring a recording time from a start to an end of recording, and then, transferring the recorded file from the recording device to the communication apparatus via the network, thereby measuring a transfer time from a start to an end of transfer;
- and
- dividing a capacity of the file by the measured recording time to obtain a recording speed, and dividing the capacity of the file by the measured transfer time, thereby obtaining a reproduction speed, and generating a display signal that displays a plurality of picture recording modes identifying any of the plurality of picture recording modes able to concurrently support tracking reproduction on the basis of the recording speed and reproduction speed.
A communication method comprising:
- measuring a recording time for a file and measuring a transfer time in transferring the recorded file from the recording device to a communication apparatus via the network;
- dividing a capacity of the file by the recording time, thereby obtaining a recording speed;
- dividing the capacity of the file by the transfer time, thereby obtaining a reproduction speed;
- and
- generating a display signal that displays one or more picture recording modes based on the recording speed and the reproduction speed, and identifies if any of the one or more picture recording modes is able to concurrently support tracking reproduction.
