A digital data replaying apparatus is connected with a display unit, and includes an assisting section which generates a time bar data relating to a contents data in response to a time bar display instruction; and a replaying section which outputs the contents data and the time bar data to the display unit. A time bar is displayed on the display unit based on the time bar data and include a main section showing a replay time of the contents data; a current set of a plurality of segments provided to divide the time bar main section into a preset number; and a pointer icon which is displayed in association with one of the plurality of segments. The assisting section moves the pointer icon in association with the plurality of segments in response to a pointer movement instruction. When one of the plurality of segment is selected as a selection segment, the replaying section outputs the contents data to the display unit from a portion of the contents data corresponding to the selection segment as a replay contents data portion.

Apparatus and method for replaying digital data

The information terminal body may be designed to foldably pivot a pair of flat cases each having a display unit through a hinge which is equipped with a photographing optical system for the camera function unit of which optical axis of lens is perpendicular to an axial center of the hinge. The display units display information from communication channels and images taken in by the camera. The cases may have the display units such that the display units face outside in a folded state. At least one of the two display units may be a finder for photographers, while the other may be a finder for the subject persons. The terminal is equipped with a shutter button and a terminal operation button. The terminal operation button works also as a shutter button. The information terminal is also equipped with a viewfinder for the camera lens system.

A fingerprint authenticating system includes a fingerprint registering unit and a fingerprint collating unit. The fingerprint registering unit takes a first fingerprint data indicating a first portion of a first fingerprint from a first fingerprint sensor, registers said first fingerprint data to a memory unit, and takes a second fingerprint data indicating a second portion of a second fingerprint from a second fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint collating unit collates said second fingerprint data with said first fingerprint data to confirm whether or not said first fingerprint is equal to said second fingerprint. Here, an area of the first portion is equal to or larger than an area of the second portion.
