  • Publication number: 20050141866
    Abstract: A data recording-and-reproducing apparatus includes a content recording part to record content data on a recording medium, a typical still image generation part to generate a typical still image on basis of the content data, a typical still image storage part to store the typical still image which has been generated, a generation control part to control interruption and resumption of generation of the typical still image, an interruption position information storage part to store interruption position information showing an interruption position in the content data when the generation of the typical still image is interrupted, and a resumption part to resume the generation of the typical still image on basis of the interruption position information when the generation of the typical still image is resumed.

  • Publication number: 20050122992
    Abstract: There are provided a DVD drive for recording information being able to be reproduced in a DVD, a designated information generator (431) for generating a play list, a designated information transmitter (432) for transmitting the play list to destination(s) being set, a destination information register (434) in which destination information has been registered, a designated information receiver for receiving a play list transmitted from other device(s) for information processing, an information existence judging section (435) for judging whether information being specified by the information specifying data of the received play list has been recorded in the DVD or not, and an information reproducer (436) for reproducing information based on the received play list, in the case that the information existence judging section (435) confirmed that the information had been recorded.

  • Publication number: 20050028161
    Abstract: A first data-recording device (400) includes a network interface, a recording unit, and a group recording reservation notifying unit. The network interface acquires a group recording reservation instruction containing a recording reservation data and requesting that a recording reservation be set. The recording unit sets the recording reservation in accordance with the recording reservation data contained in the group recording reservation instruction that the network interface has acquired. The group recording reservation notifying unit distributes data same as the recording reservation data, to a second data-recording device (401) or a third data-recording device (402) through a network (200).

  • Publication number: 20040267985
    Abstract: A data is acquired from a network connector (110) and sequentially stored in a data receiving buffer (120). A communication line monitor (141) detects a transfer rate (vr) of acquiring the data at a communication line. A reproduction speed controller (142) reads a receiving buffer volume (Br). When the volume (Br) is equal to or less than a predetermined thresbold (Bu), the reproduction speed controller (142) sets a reproduction rate (v0) so that the data is reproduced at a reproduction speed slower than a standard reproduction speed at which an output unit reproduces the data. The reproduction speed (v0) decreases as the receiving buffer volume (Br) decreases. The data is output to a processor (130) at the reproduction rate (v0). The processor (130) extracts a stream data and decodes it to output as a reproduction data to an output unit for reproduction.

  • Publication number: 20040168201
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of running properly, with automatically executing a backup OS program or a default OS program, from an automatic judgment in a case that a current OS program does not run properly, in which a state flag is disposed in a flash ROM in order to indicate whether or not the current OS program runs properly at the previous time, and a state of the state flag is checked when the current OS program is executed, the current OS program is executed in the case that the current OS program runs properly at the previous time, and the backup OS program is executed in the case that the current OS program does not run properly at the previous time.
