In menu structure, information is separately displayed on a menu item-by-menu item basis. Therefore, the adoption of menu structure involves inconvenience. (For example, pieces of information under different menu items cannot be viewed at the same time.) A portable information communication terminal eliminates this inconvenience. Information is configured in list structure wherein items (A, . . . , A, B, . . . , B, B, B, C, . . . , C, D, . . . (A to D represent groups.)) are arranged in succession. List information (Bto C) which is within a predetermined range (the second precedent line through the fourth subsequent line) from a specific item Cof a predetermined serial number (top number) in a selected group (group C) is displayed. Since the top item in group C is the specific item, items corresponding to group B are also displayed. Thus, items corresponding to different groups (group B and group C) can be displayed at the same time.

An information processing apparatus includes area image extracting means for extracting, as a telop image, an area displaying a telop in contents, detecting means for detecting a scene change in images of the contents, recording means for converting an image at the time when a scene change is detected by the detecting means to a thumbnail image and recording the thumbnail image, display control means for controlling to arrange and display a plurality of the thumbnail images and a plurality of the telop images chronologically, and playing means for playing the contents from the position corresponding to the selected thumbnail image or telop image.

An image pickup system that is small in scale, handy to maneuver, easy to operate and advanced in editing capabilities is disclosed. A commander device is used both as a remote commander and as a microphone in operating a video camera for image pickup. Wearing a headset on the head, a user looks at images appearing on a headset display to monitor and verify recorded images without recourse to a view finder of the video camera. Functions of the components making up the system are changed by operation of a mode switch attached to the video camera.

High-speed scrolling is performed when an operating dialis rotated taking a central button memberas an axis, and low-speed scrolling when pushing either an upper buttonA or a lower buttonC by pushing the operating dialin the direction of an axis of rotation. It is therefore possible to include information it is wished to view, in an appropriate manner within a display range of a screen, with fewer operations by appropriately changing over the speed of scrolling. In addition, as it is possible to operate the operating dialfor both high-speed scrolling and low-speed scrolling, when changing over the speed of scrolling, it is possible to change over the speed of scrolling in a straightforward manner without operating members other than the member that has been operated so far.

An editing device and an editing method which greatly improve the efficiency of editing work. The editing device includes first displaying means for displaying a plurality of images by converting the images to time lines on the basis of time codes added in synchronicity with respective images on an identical time base respectively, second displaying means for displaying images corresponding to the time codes designated on the time bases among the respective time lines, and the third displaying means for displaying an image of a desired part sequentially designated, on the time bases, from the respective images, as a clip respectively. The editing method is configured by displaying a plurality of images by converting the images to time lines on the basis of a time codes added respectively in synchronicity with an identical time base, by displaying the images corresponding to the time codes designated on the time bases among the respective time lines, and by displaying an image of a desired part sequentially designated, on the time bases, from the respective images, as a clip respectively.
