Abstract: A screen of a system is comprehensively shifted by automatically operating a system having a GUI and images on the screen are recorded at respective time instances. Operation objects of the system displayed on the screen is detected by an operation object detection unit (102) and sequentially selected by an operation object selection unit (108) such that the detected operation objects are comprehensively operated. An operation event for executing an operation of the selected operation object is generated by an operation event generator unit (109) and output to a program execution unit (101) for controlling an execution of an execution program of the system. A screen image recording unit (103) acquires the screen image from the program execution unit (101) and records it.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording an interaction log includes an event detector for determining whether a reference event occurred in an interactive system. A state detector detects a parameter indicating a state of the interactive system when the event detector determined that the reference event occurred. A recorder records the parameter detected by the state detector. A latching mechanism latches information to be transferred from an input unit to a processing unit so that the processing unit does not respond to the reference event. A judging mechanism releases the information latched by the latching mechanism when the state detector completes detection. Thus, the state detector detects the parameter in synchronization with occurrence of the reference event. The apparatus also may include a plurality of imaging units and a controller. Each of the imaging units generates an image including graphical items corresponding to reference events recorded in the recorder.

A control signal generator produces a periodic tracking control signal which is synchronized with the speed at which the record medium is moved, the periodic control signal having a plurality of periods during each pass of the transducer.

Abstract: Tracking control apparatus for a signal reproducing system of the type wherein at least one transducer scans successive parallel tracks on a record medium in which information signals, such as video signals, are recorded. The transducer preferably is of the rotary type so that, during its orbit, it is brought into and then out of reproducing relation with respect to the record medium. Any deviation between the scanning trace of the transducer across the medium and a given track which is being scanned is detected, and a control signal is produced as a function of this detected deviation. The transducer is supported by an adjustable support which is responsive to the control signal so as to displace the transducer transversely of the given track by an amount determined by the control signal. A predetermined sample of the control signal is produced while the transducer scans the given track, and this predetermined sample is stored.
