  • Patent number: 11477377
    Abstract: A function relating to communication of imaging data is assigned to an operational switch of an operating unit. A control unit switches a working mode of the assigned assignment function among a stop mode in which power supply to a communication unit that communicates the imaging data is stopped, a standby mode in which standby is performed to enable the communication of the imaging data by supplying power to the communication unit, and an executing mode in which the imaging data is communicated, depending on operational duration of the operational switch. In a case where the imaging data is not communicated, the assignment function is set to the stop mode, thereby realizing power saving. Further, the working mode of the assignment function can be switched depending on the operational duration of the operational switch, which improves the operability of an imaging device.

  • Patent number: 10331320
    Abstract: [Object] To make a preferable operation possible with a simple structure that does not require an operation member with a complicated mechanism. [Solving Means] A display process of displaying a setting screen for setting one of an adjustment position and a numerical value on the basis of a user operation and a control process of changing one of the adjustment position and the numerical value depending on a change of a position of a knob by the user operation on the setting screen displayed in the display process are included. In the display process, the knob that is moved on the slider by the user operation is displayed, and the position of the knob is set as a default position on the slider, when the user operation is not performed.

  • Patent number: 8224819
    Abstract: An information processing method for an information processing apparatus to process content data, including generating content data information associated with content data; and registering information associated with the content data generated in the content data information generation step, in an edit list indicating a result of editing of the content data. The apparatus makes it possible to manage a large number of image data in the form of an editing result and easily manage a large number of image data having complicated relationships. A clip data detector of an editing apparatus detects clip data including image data and audio data supplied from the outside. The clip data detector extracts meta data associated with detected clip data and supplies it to a sub clip processing unit. A sub clip information generator of the sub clip processing unit generates sub clip information based on the meta data and supplies the generated sub clip information to a sub clip information registration unit.
