Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller, the controller being configured to execute: acquiring pieces of result data showing movement results of a plurality of users; calculating at least either first evaluation values about convenience in a case of moving in predetermined sections in private vehicles or second evaluation values about convenience in a case of moving in the predetermined sections in public transportation at least based on the pieces of result data; and calculating, for a predetermined area, a score indicating a deviation between convenience in the case of moving in the private vehicles and convenience in the case of moving in the public transportation based on the first and second evaluation values.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, there is provided an information recording apparatus, such as a digital camera, arranged to record information on a detachably mountable storage medium, such as for example to record video data on the storage medium. In one version of the apparatus, when a connection of an AC adapter is cancelled, the storage medium is detected by a storage medium detection unit, and in a case where the storage medium is not mounted to the mounting unit, a warning is issued, for example in an audio output unit or a display unit. Accordingly, the user can find out that the storage medium is not mounted before the digital camera has been brought outside for use. Thus, it may be possible to prevent a failure in which the user first realizes that they forgot to mount the storage medium only when they are already away from home.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an image capturing unit for obtaining still-image data, a recording unit for recording, in a recording medium, the still-image data obtained by the image-capturing unit, and a play-list generating unit which, in a continuous shooting mode for obtaining a series of still images and recording a series of still-image-data items representing the still images recorded in the recording medium, generates a play list specifying a process for playing back the series of still-image-data items.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus includes: a first recording and reproducing unit that records and reproduces first information data onto/from a first recording medium; a second recording and reproducing unit that records and reproduces second information data onto/from a second recording medium; a selection unit that arbitrarily selects information data which should be recorded onto the first recording medium from the second information data recorded on the second recording medium; and a control unit that controls the first recording and reproducing unit and the second recording and reproducing unit so that the second information data selected by the selection unit are reproduced from the second recording medium to be recorded onto the first recording medium and then a finalize process is executed on the first recording medium in response to that an instruction to execute the finalize process is provided to the first recording medium to enable the information data recorded on the first recording medium

Abstract: An image reproduction apparatus for recording reproduction history information for distinguishing a reproduced image and an unreproduced image in a removable memory, and for giving, by referring to the reproduction history information, a priority to an unreproduced image in reproducing images in an unreproduced image prioritized reproduction mode.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for making the usability of an image display function (also called as a slide show or AutoPlay) for reproducing a still image and a moving image in a removable medium (such as a memory card) at every predetermined reproduction time (display time) is provided. The apparatus includes a recording and reproducing unit for starting the reproduction of the initial part (for example, a sheet of the still image, the moving image for a reproduction time, or the like) of the moving image selected by a main control unit. When a reproduction button is depressed before the reproduction time T (for example, three seconds) from the start of the reproduction of a part of the moving image elapses, the recording and reproducing unit also reproduces the remaining part of the moving image selected by the main control unit. Thereby, a desired moving image can be viewed to the end thereof only by depressing the reproduction button B4 even when the slide show is being performed.
