Abstract: An image editing method includes: a setting region detection step (S14) of detecting a region (Ar1) that is set by an operator within an image display region (10); a graphic element identification step (S15) of identifying a graphic element within the region (Ar1) that is set; a graphic information extraction step (S16) of extracting information included in the graphic element identified; and a graphic aggregation determination step (S17) of grouping, into a graphic aggregation, a relevant graphic element based on the graphic information.

Abstract: A display terminal device displays objects arranged in a virtual space on a display device. The display terminal device generates an object identifier indicating an object entered by a user such that the object identifier includes a user identifier. The generated object identifier is, along with the object, transmitted to a drawing device. The display terminal device saves an object and an object identifier received from the drawing device until receiving the transmitted object from the drawing device. A display screen of the display device is refreshed to display the object received from the drawing device.

Abstract: An information recording and reproducing device allows a content having data about title, among contents recorded on a recording medium, to be contained in a frame for distinguishing the title from a background image so as to generate a framed title image. For a content without data about title, the information recording and reproducing device generates a blank frame image to show the existence of content without a title. The information recording and reproducing device further superimposes the framed title image and the blank frame image on the background image so as to make a title menu screen, and records the title menu screen on the recording medium for display to a user. This title menu screen can enable the user to easily recognize a title of a content and the existence of content without a title which are recorded on the recording medium.

Abstract: A video signal reproducing apparatus for playing a recording medium on which a video signal is recorded and inhibited operation information is recorded which is information representing whether or not an inputted key operation is inhibited, includes a control means of displaying, if the inputted key operation is inhibited on the inhibited operation information, an alternative operation message causing a user to select whether or not an alternative key operation is used, the alternative key operation giving an alternative processing coupled with a processing required by the inputted key operation, and of making, if the user selects using the alternative key operation, on an assumption that the alternative key operation not inhibited on the inhibited operation information and giving alternative processing has been inputted by the user, control of executing a processing corresponding to the alternative key operation.

Abstract: A method of recording additional information of a disk name of an optical disk, title information of a recorded program, etc., on the optical disk. Communication data containing edit data entered through a portable electronic machine capable of conducting wireless communications with an optical disk recording apparatus is transmitted by the portable electronic machine to the optical disk recording apparatus using the wireless communications and the edit data is recorded on the optical disk as additional information.
