Patent number: 7667722Abstract: A thermal head has plural heat generating elements arrayed therein in a main scanning direction to form a heat generating element row, causes the respective heat generating elements to generate heat while conveying a recording medium in a sub-scanning direction, and forms plural dot lines in the main scanning direction on the recording medium to record an image. A plurality of the heat generating element rows are arrayed in the sub-scanning direction. Respective nth (n is a natural number) heat generating elements among the heat generating elements in the respective heat generating element rows can sharingly form a dot in the same position in an identical dot line according to independent driving for each of the heat generating element rows.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroe Honma, Takaaki Murakami

Patent number: 6424385Abstract: There are provided on an optical disk a high resolution image file for storing a high resolution image data, an index file for storing a predetermined number of low resolution image data, a management file for storing information about the high and low resolution image data, and a management data table for controlling the relative locations of the high resolution image file and index file to each other on the optical disk. A playback apparatus according to the present invention plays back the index file through referring to data of the management file and management data table and produces on a monitor a single screen display of the predetermined number of the low resolution image data saved in the index file. Accordingly, the predetermined number of the low resolution image data can be read out by a single access action thus speeding up the display of index images.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1996Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Noboru Koyama, Fumihiko Kaise, Hiroe Honma

Patent number: 6112010Abstract: At a storage section, picture information of intermediate resolution and picture information of low resolution are formed on the basis of picture information of high resolution which has been read out from a frame memory. These picture information are caused to undergo fixed length encoding at a compression/expansion circuit. These picture data of three kinds of resolutions which have been caused to undergo fixed length encoding are respectively recorded in the order of reproduction and continuously onto an optical disk having tri-sected recording areas for respective resolutions. Thus, it is sufficient to read out, from any one of the recording areas, picture data of resolution corresponding to the equipment which outputs picture data. In addition, since the picture data of respective resolutions are continuously recorded in the order of reproduction, the seek time is eliminated thereby contributing to realization of high reproduction speed.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Noboru Koyama, Fumihiko Kaise, Hiroe Honma

Patent number: 6005690Abstract: At a storage unit 5, at least intermediate resolution picture data for monitor display, high resolution picture data for print, and print control data for controlling print operation of the high resolution picture data are recorded onto an optical disc. At the time of print operation, a system controller 6 reproduces print control data recorded on the optical disc to control a picture processing block 3, and a printer unit 2, etc. so as to implement thereto, e.g., expansion processing and/or color processing of picture, etc. corresponding to the print control data to carry out print operation.Thus, at the time of print operation, user can automatically carry out print out operation without designating print operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1996Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kiyosuke Suzuki, Noboru Koyama, Fumihiko Kaise, Hiroe Honma
