The present invention is to realize a simple communication connection. A shooting system S includes: a display deviceconfigured to change identifiers periodically so as to present an identifier; a management serverconfigured to share the identifier with the display device; and a user terminalconfigured to acquire the identifier presented on the display devicewhen an identifier acquisition operation by a user is detected, and to transmit, to the management server, the acquired identifier and an operation instruction to operate a cameraidentified by the acquired identifier. The management serverincludes an information control blockwhich performs control to associate image data acquired with the camerabased on the operation instruction transmitted by the user terminalwith the identifier presented on the display devicewhen the identifier acquisition operation by the user is detected.

Information processing system, information processing method, medium, and management device

A image recording apparatus includes a processor. The processor recognizes a predetermined action by a user when an image is recorded by capturing. The processor adds additional information corresponding to the recognized predetermined action to the captured image obtained by the capturing. The processor controls recording of the captured image with the additional information added.

Image recording apparatus, image recording method, and computer-readable storage medium

An image processing apparatus including a CPU which is operable to function as units comprising a processing unit which sets, as a first area, an area that is not a peripheral edge area in a captured image acquired by an imaging unit, sets an area including the peripheral edge area as a second area, and performs predetermined processing on one of the first area and the second area, and a specification unit which specifies whether the first area is subjected to the predetermined processing or the second area is subjected to the predetermined processing, based on orientation information of the imaging unit when the captured image is acquired.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method and storage medium

In the present invention, a control section distinctly displays, as indexes for indicating that data (image) switching can be performed from a starting point that is the arrayed position of data selected as a display target from among a plurality of data arrayed in virtual and multiple dimensions based on plural types of imaging parameters, information regarding the array status of the plurality of data on a display section, in association with plural directions in which data switching can be performed. As a result of this configuration, when instructing to perform data switching in a direction arbitrarily selected from among a plurality of data switching directions, the user can instruct to perform data switching while visually checking information regarding the array status of data for each data switching direction. That is, by this configuration, data in each data switching direction becomes more recognizable visually.

Data display apparatus which controls display of a plurality of data, image display apparatus which individually displays a series of images, data display method, image display method, and storage medium

A digital cameracomprising a key operation unit () for registering subject information for identifying the subject, and photography conditions or image processing conditions corresponding to the subject identified according to the subject information; image memory () for storing the subject information, and the photography conditions or image processing conditions registered by the key operation unit (); and a CPU (). The CPU () detects a characteristic portion of the subject from the acquired image, identifies a subject corresponding to the characteristic portion of the detected subject, by referring to the subject information stored in the image memory (), acquires the photography conditions or image processing conditions corresponding to the identified subject identified from the image memory (), and carries out image capturing or image processing based on the acquired photography conditions or image processing conditions. In this way, an image capturing device capable of easily carrying out image processing in accordance with individual preferences is provided.

Image capturing device suitable for photographing a person

A recording apparatus receives, with respect to an identical program, high image quality digital broadcasting data and low image quality digital broadcasting data, records the high image quality program data and the low image quality program data in a recording medium. When a cellular phone device is connected to the recording apparatus, the recording apparatus transfers the recorded low image quality program data to the cellular phone device via a communication interface. The recording apparatus transmits, to the portable cellular phone device, management information of the end of playback and deletion of the first program data whose program is identical to that of the transferred second program data.

Recording apparatus, mobile receiver apparatus and data management method

A recorded broadcast program including CM portions is reproduced with CM portions skipped. When an instruction to execute a fast forward operation is entered at the beginning of CM portion and an instruction to execute a reproducing operation is entered at the termination of CM portion while the recorded broadcast program data including CM data is read out and reproduced from a recording unit, CPUstores in the recording unita time length obtained by subtracting a time at which the instruction to execute a fast forward operation is entered from a time at which the instruction to execute a reproducing operation is entered, an image which is being reproduced at the time at which the instruction to execute a fast forward operation is entered, and a title of the image. CPUfurther compares an image which is being reproduced with the image stored in the recording unit, and skips a reading position on the recording unitbased on the time length stored in the recording unit, when the compared images coincide with each other.

Broadcast program recording apparatus and program for executing a broadcast program reproducing process

A CPU confirms a receivable channel while sequentially changing channel numbers set to an analog front-end unit and specifies an area in which the receivable channel can be received and an area adjacent thereto by referring a receiving channel table by area and an adjacent area table after confirming the receivable channel. After this, the CPU confirms the receivable channel while sequentially setting the channel numbers receivable in the adjacent areas to the front-end unit to specify areas matching with the confirmation result. When the number of specified areas becomes one, the CPU assigns channel numbers to each switch formed of a channel switch group of a user interface unit.

Broadcast receiver and program

Program data included in a digital television broadcast received from a broadcast station is recorded. A program keyword list that has stored keywords on program sections of the program data corresponding to broadcast time zones is received from a service company's server. Videos and voices on a program section involving a keyword that meets predetermined conditions selected from the keywords stored in the received program keyword list are reproduced.
