Abstract: An image sensing device that can photograph and play back a moving image simplifies and executes an edit operation for forming one moving image by inserting another image in the middle of a given moving image. A device includes a flash memory (38) which records moving image data, a key input unit (36) which designates an arbitrary time position in the moving image data recorded in the flash memory (38), and a control unit (32) which starts photographing of an image on the basis of designation of the time position, inserts image data obtained by photographing in the moving image data on the basis of the designated time position, and plays back the obtained moving image data.

Abstract: A digital camera comprises a CCD, sample-and-hold circuit, analog to digital converter, color processing circuit, microphone, voice processing section, flash memory in which voices input from the microphone are arbitrarily added to still images and the still image data with the voice data is recorded, a key input section which selects an arbitrary still image among the still images recorded in the flash memory, and a CPU which discriminates whether or not voices are added to selected still-images. A message for alarming is displayed on a display section when the voices are added to the images.

Abstract: A favorite folder (history image folder) is prepared for storing reduced image files. The favorite folder is provided separately from a folder for storing a full image files which are created by a digital camera. The full image file is reduced to create the reduced image file of a small memory size. The reduced image file in the favorite folder can not be deleted in a normal delete mode. Even though the full image files are transferred to another memory device such that of a personal computer, the reduced image files are used for searching or content confirming purpose.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus and a method for processing images are provided whereby it is possible to register a plurality of mask patterns, to select a desired one among the plurality of registered mask patterns, and to cut-out a desired part of a taken image by using the selected mask pattern to synthesize a new image, which is stored. In addition, it is also possible to extract a part of an image or the whole of an image of a stored taken image to be registered as a mask pattern.

Abstract: An electronic device for automatically shutting off a power source is provided with a key input section, and a touch sensor. The key input section includes plural keys and a switch for turning on the power source. When the power source is turned on by operation of the key or the switch, a time period corresponding to the operated key or switch is set for shutting off the power source, a time duration is counted during which no operation is performed, and the power source is shut off when the counted time duration has reached the time period previously set. The power source may automatically be shut off at the time that a user intended, and power consumption is effectively reduced without troublesome operation to turn on and/or off the power source.

Abstract: A camera in which is stored a unique ID is directly or indirectly connected to a printing service site, to which log-in is performed using the ID, whereupon an image from the camera is uploaded to the printing service site, and a printing server distinguishes from the ID which camera the image was uploaded. Printing of the uploaded image can instructed via the printing service site. At the time of printing, when the printing server is calculating the printing charge, the charge is discounted if the image was obtained from a prescribed camera. Alternatively, if the image to be printed was photographed by a camera of a specific manufacturer, a cash-back is issued to the manufacturer in accordance with the number of prints.

Abstract: In order to provide a personal taste profile information gathering apparatus capable of gathering information to be used to ascertain a viewer's personal tastes with a high degree of efficiency without disrupting the viewer's concentration on the media entertainment, a personal taste profile information gathering apparatus 1 that gathers information related to the personal tastes of a viewer viewing a specific type of medium comprises a means for operation G having an operation unit operated by the viewer through a single action and a means for personal taste profile information recording A at which information related to the medium being viewed by the viewer when he operates the means for operation is recorded.

Abstract: For the purpose of providing a thin pump designed to decrease the number of parts, the pump is provided with a rectangular parallelepiped cylinder (3) and a piston located inside of the cylinder, wherein the piston (4) reciprocates and oscillates in the cylinder (3) to vary capacity of the pump chamber (12) and to make the intake port (5) and the outlet port (6) open alternately, so that fluid is sucked from the intake port (5) into the pump chamber (12), compressed and discharged from the outlet port (6).

Abstract: The present invention provides a position detection apparatus capable of reducing the bending moment in the longitudinal direction of a recording medium and being fixed to a machine tool without deforming the main body or the recording medium, thus enabling to obtain a high detection accuracy. The position detection apparatus detects a relative movement position between the reference block 4 and the movable block which move relative to each other along straight line. A round bar-shaped recording medium 12 is provided inside a frame 11 of a main body 2. The frame 11 is fixed to the reference block 4 with a fixing member 55 having an abutment surface for the frame 11 which abutment surface has a curvature only in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the recording medium.

Abstract: A projection type displaying apparatus with a movable built-in screen has an image display, an image projector and a position detector for detecting a position where the built-in screen is installed. When the position detector determines that the built-in screen is in an image projection pass, the focus of the image projector is adjusted on the built-in screen and the image projector projects the image onto the built-in screen. When the position detector determines that the built-in screen is out of the image projection pass, the focus of the image projector is adjusted on an external screen and the image projector automatically projects the image onto the external screen.
