Patent number: 7936474Abstract: When conditions for copying are satisfied while an image sensing apparatus is connected to a PC, copying is executed by only operating the copy button of the image sensing apparatus, and the progress of copying operation can be notified on the image sensing apparatus side. For this purpose, a program monitoring whether a digital video camera is connected is resident in a memory of the PC. When the digital video camera is connected to the PC, it is determined whether a writable optical disk is set, i.e., whether conditions for copying are satisfied. If the PC is ready for copying operation, the program notifies it to the digital video camera. Upon reception of this, the digital video camera turns on a copy button incorporating an LED. When this button is pressed, corresponding information is notified as response data to the PC, thereby starting copying operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2006Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tachio Ono

Patent number: 7711877Abstract: An image sensing device includes an image sensing unit, an interface unit, a control endpoint, an isochronous endpoint, a bulk endpoint, an interrupt endpoint, and an interface unit controller. The image sensing unit senses a moving image and a still image. The interface unit is connected to an external device. The control endpoint receives from the external device a command requesting transfer of the still image. The isochronous endpoint transfers the moving image sensed by the image sensing unit to the external device. The bulk endpoint transfers the still image sensed by the image sensing unit to the external device. The interrupt endpoint transfers error information. The error information includes information indicating that an error has occurred during sensing of the still image. The interface unit controller transfers the error information to the external device through the interrupt endpoint in response to the occurrence of the error.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tachio Ono

Patent number: 7440400Abstract: A transfer apparatus detects first time adjustment information from a first transport stream (TS) packet included in an MPEG-2 transport stream, and detects second time adjustment information from a second TS packet included in the MPEG-2 transport stream. The transfer apparatus calculates a time interval between the first time adjustment information and the second time adjustment information. The transfer apparatus performs a recalculation to change the calculated time interval to a recalculated time interval. The transfer apparatus calculates transmission timing of the first TS packet and TS packets between the first and second TS packets, in accordance with the recalculated time interval. The transfer apparatus transfers the first TS packet and the TS packets between the first and second TS packets, in accordance with the calculated transmission timing.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tachio Ono

Patent number: 7315689Abstract: A recording system for preventing inconsistencies between the time information of the AV data which is recorded on the recording medium of the image sensing device (camera integrated digital video recorder and so on), and the time information of the AV data which is recorded on the recording medium of an external recording device. The image sensing device determines whether or not the AV data is recorded on its recording medium when the AV data is digitally output. If it is recorded, the AV data is digitally output with adding change-prohibited information. The external recording device determines whether or not the change-prohibited information is added to the AV data which has been digitally input. If the change-prohibited information is added, the AV data is recorded to a recording medium without changing the time information of the AV data.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2001Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tachio Ono
