Photograph information recording apparatus capable of recording reproduction control information and reproducing apparatus for reproducing photograph information on the basis of said reproduction control information

Photographic apparatus having photographing means for recording photograph information and control means for recording reproduction control information in association with the photograph information, and comprising an accelerometer, said control means recording reproduction control information in response to acceleration of said photographic apparatus determined by said accelerometer.

Photographic apparatus comprising means for reproducing photograph information, means responsive to a characteristic of photograph information for determining whether or not said reproducing means reproduces that photograph information, means for detecting reproduction control information associated with photograph information, and means responsive to said detecting means for forcing said reproducing means to reproduce photograph information regardless of the characteristic of that photograph information.

A photographic method comprising recording a plurality of units of photograph information, recording reproduction control information in association with units of photograph information selectively, determining whether or not to reproduce units of photograph information depending upon a characteristic thereof, and forcing reproduction of units of photograph information, regardless of the characteristic thereof, in response to reproduction control information recorded in association with the last-mentioned photograph information.

A photographic system comprising a photographing device which records photograph information on a medium, a control circuit connected to said photographic device, which records reproduction control information on the medium in association with said photograph information, and a reproducing device which reproduces photograph information recorded on the medium, said reproducing device including a determining device which determines whether or not to reproduce photograph information recorded on the medium depending upon a characteristic thereof, and a control unit connected to said determining device, which forces reproduction of photograph information, regardless of the characteristic thereof, in response to reproduction control information recorded in association with the photograph information.

Photographic apparatus having a photographing device which records photograph information on a medium and a control circuit connected to said photographing device, which records reproduction control information on the medium in association with the photograph information, and comprising an accelerometer connected to said control circuit, said control circuit recording reproduction control information in response to acceleration of said photographic apparatus determined by said accelerometer.

Photographic apparatus comprising a reproducing unit which is connected to a control unit and which reproduces photographic information recorded on a medium, a determining device connected to said control unit, which determines, in response to a characteristic of photograph information, whether or not said reproducing unit reproduces that photograph information, and a detecting device connected to said control unit, which detects reproduction control information recorded on the medium in association with photograph information, wherein, in response to said detecting device, said control unit forces said reproducing unit to reproduce photograph information regardless of the characteristic of that photograph information.
