Patent number: 7830421Abstract: An apparatus reproduces moving image data from a recording medium on which moving image data of a plurality of scenes are recorded. The apparatus includes a memory to store a plurality of representative image data representing representative images of the plurality of scenes. The apparatus generates a list screen for the representative images using the representative image data stored on the memory and displays the generated list screen on a display device. The apparatus controls the reproduction of moving image data recorded on the recording medium according to a user instruction, generates representative image data based on the reproduced moving image data and stores the generated representative image data on the memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shuhei Kawachi
