  • Patent number: 7447126
    Abstract: A recording device executes unattended recording after suspending dubbing when a preset recording time draws near during the dubbing, and saves dubbing-status information showing the suspension position of the dubbing. The recording device reads the dubbing status information after the end of the unattended recording, and resumes the dubbing from the suspension position. If suspension/resumption during the dubbing of a single source content results in a plurality of duplicate contents, the recording device edits the duplicate contents into a single content or a single playback route.

  • Publication number: 20060291804
    Abstract: When receiving a record presetting from the record presetting unit 8, the detection unit 10 compares the received record presetting with a record presetting that has been received earlier, to detect, if time periods indicated by the record presettings overlap, an overlapping time portion and one or more non-overlapping time portion. The detection unit 10 then newly generates record presettings in one-to-one correspondence with the overlapping and non-overlapping time portions. The recording unit 11 performs a recording operation with reference to the record presettings newly generated by the detection unit 10. Thus, the recording unit 11 can perform a recording operation as described by the original record presettings, which indicate the time periods that overlap. The generation unit 12 generates, on a storage medium, Cell information for each of the original record presettings, and appends user information to the Cell information.

  • Publication number: 20060156355
    Abstract: A reproduction apparatus that, when a same content is recorded in the HDD 1 and the SD card 102, allows the user to reproduce the content in one of the recording mediums to a certain viewing position and resume the reproduction of the content in the other recording medium from the certain viewing position (resume position), without causing the user to view a portion of the content redundantly. When the SD card 102 is inserted into the reproduction apparatus, the resume information of the HDD 1 and the SD card 102 is updated to synchronize the viewing position of the HDD 1 with the viewing position of the SD card 102, allowing the user to resume reproduction from the viewing position indicated by the updated resume information and saving the user from viewing a portion redundantly.

  • Publication number: 20050246641
    Abstract: Provided is a recording apparatus that prompts a user to judge whether non-referenced part in a DVD should be deleted or not, thereby facilitating cleanup of recorded contents in the DVD. A playlist editing unit (15) obtains a PL by performing a playlist editing, where the playlist is a logical playback path defined on a VOB recorded in the DVD and contains at least one playback section defined by the user. After the playlist editing is performed, a non-referenced part extraction unit (17) displays to the user a plurality of remaining parts resulting after subtracting from the entire VOB the playback section specified by PL information, as a plurality of non-referenced parts in a moving image stream. A substantial editing unit (18) deletes any of the displayed non-referenced parts, according to a user operation.

  • Patent number: 6879408
    Abstract: A printer and a printer driver automatically execute setting processing relevant to information unique to each printer without a user's intervention. Printer language specifications indicating a correspondence between plot objects and printer languages are stored. Printer language specifications setting data predetermined for the printer language specifications are generated. Control language specifications indicating a correspondence between control elements and control languages are stored. Control language specifications setting data predetermined for the control language specifications are generated. According to a trigger instructing a host PC to start transmission, the generated language specifications setting data to a bi-directional communication part are transmitted. The bi-directional communication part transmits the received language specifications setting data through a transmission path to the host PC.

  • Publication number: 20030023987
    Abstract: Because of limitations of a display area allocated on a mobile telephone or a remote controller, even if a program table is displayed according to the EPG information, the browsability of programs is mostly insufficient, and it is likely for a user to miss the program. In a case where a user updates recording reservation information of a program reserved for recording by using a mobile telephone of the present invention, the mobile telephone acquires the recording reservation information and information of broadcasting schedule, and displays point of difference between the recording reservation information and the information of the broadcasting schedule. Consequently, the user can easily and surely find the change of the broadcasting schedule, and match contents of update with the change.
