An information processing system and an information processing apparatus and method for transmitting image data from a portable terminal apparatus, to a different apparatus through a network so that the image data may be managed by the different apparatus. A camcorder image station has a folder for each user of a camcorder and has, in each of the folders, 10 sub folders of albumto albumto each of which a name is applied in advance. The user of the camcorder transmits images picked up by the user to the camcorder image station so that the images are registered into a predetermined album. The camcorder has an album list of 10 albums of albumto albumin advance and selects an album of one of the names from within the list to designate an album into which image data should be uploaded.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and method

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus by which image data can be downloaded simply. A video camerareceives thumbnail images corresponding to one or more images included in an album from a video camera image stationand displays the thumbnail images on an LCD unit. If one or more images to be downloaded are selected, then the video cameraacquires image information of the selected image or images from a video camera image station, analyzes the image information and discriminates it one by one image whether or not the selected image data are downloadable. Every time one image is discriminated to be downloadable, the video cameraaccesses a corresponding URL designated for each image, downloads the image from the URL and records the image onto a recording medium. The video camerasuccessively downloads the selected images in this manner.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus and method

The present invention relates to a recording apparatus and method, a reproducing apparatus and method, and a program that make it possible to photograph and record a still image and moving images before and after the still image as well. In step S, when a still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set, moving image temporary storage is started. When a shutter is depressed in step S, in step S, a photographed still image is recorded and one moving image is generated from the moving image before the still image stored in step S, a moving image obtained by converting the photographed still image, and a moving image photographed after the depression of the shutter and the one moving image generated is recorded. Therefore, the moving images before and after the still image are recorded together with a high-definition still image.

Recording apparatus and method, reproducing apparatus and method, and program

A display device includes an operating body detection unit detecting an operating body disposed over a display screen, a position determination unit determining a three-dimensional position of the operating body from the detection result and outputting the three-dimensional position as position information for the operating body, a position designation unit designating a three-dimensional position over the display screen, a guide information generation unit generating guide information which requests a user to perform a predetermined action for an operating body around the designated three-dimensional position and then dispose the operating body at the designated three-dimensional position, a correction information generation unit generating correction information from an error between the designated three-dimensional position and a determination result of the three-dimensional position of the operating body disposed according to the guide information, and a position correction unit correcting a three-dimensional position of the operating body based on the correction information.

Display device, position correction method, and program

Disclosed is a recording apparatus to record data in a recording medium. The apparatus includes: an input portion to input moving picture data; an encode portion to encode the moving picture data input by the input portion; a storage portion which uses a first storage area to store frame image data, i.e., data for any frame image contained in the moving picture data encoded by the encode portion and uses a second storage area to store the moving picture data except the frame image data; a recording portion to record the moving picture data stored by the storage portion in the recording medium; a decode portion to decode the moving pictured at a encoded by the encode portion; and a thumbnail image generation portion to generate a thumbnail image based on the frame image data.

The present invention relates to an information processing systems, an information processing apparatus, and method. A camcorder establishes a connection to a network system through a Bluetooth adapter and a public network, performs user registration into the network system and receives provision of an ID and a password from the network system. The ID and the password are transmitted to and registered into a customer database of an Internet service provider, and also transmitted to and registered into a camcorder image station of a network service business center. After the camcorder connects to the network system, the Internet service provider, and the network service business center, the common ID and password can be used.
