Abstract
A digital image reproducing apparatus which can easily reproduce image and/or sound recorded by a digital still camera is disclosed. The apparatus has an input interface for inputting image data of the digital still camera. A converter converts the image data into displayable data. The apparatus further has a display for producing a visible image based on the displayable data.
Claims32
An apparatus for reproducing at least an image picked up by a digital still camera, comprising:
- a housing;
- an input interface disposed in said housing that inputs recorded data of the digital still camera, the recorded data including at least image data;
- a converter disposed in said housing and coupled to said input interface that converts the recorded data into reproduced data;
- a user interface disposed in said housing and coupled to said converter that produces a recognizable output based on the reproduced data;
- and
- a controller disposed in said housing and coupled to said input interface, said converter, and said user interface, said controller controlling said input interface, said converter, and said user interface.
A digital image reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- an input interface disposed in said housing, said input interface inputting data recorded by a digital still camera, said recorded data including at least image data;
- a tuner disposed in said housing, said tuner receiving a video signal of a selected channel;
- a converter disposed in said housing, said converter converting said recorded data into a reproduced signal;
- a first selector disposed in said housing, said selector selecting one of said video signal and said reproduced signal;
- a display disposed in said housing, said display displaying a visible image based on a signal selected by said first selector;
- and
- an audio output circuit disposed in said housing, said audio output circuit outputting a sound based on said selected signal.
A method for reproducing an image and a sound, wherein the image is captured by a digital still camera, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a menu having an image reproduction item, an image processing item, a message set item, and a message confirmation item, which are selectable;
- reproducing the image inputted through a user's designated medium when the image reproduction item is selected;
- processing the image when the image processing item is selected;
- storing the image accompanied by the sound onto a memory when the message set item is selected;
- and
- reproducing the image and the sound stored in the memory when the message confirmation item is selected.
A storage medium having an image reproducing program recorded thereon, the image reproducing program comprising the steps of:
- displaying a menu having an image reproduction item, an image processing item, a message set item, and a message confirmation item, which are selectable;
- reproducing the image inputted through a user's designated medium when the image reproduction item is selected;
- processing the image when the image processing item is selected;
- storing the image accompanied by the sound onto a memory when the message set item is selected;
- and
- reproducing the image and the sound stored in the memory when the message confirmation item is selected.
