[0028] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an image recording and reproducing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] In FIG. 1 , 10 is a photographing unit (camera unit) that converts an optical image of a subject into an electrical signal. 20 is an analog-to-digital converter. 30 is an encoder having a function of compressing and encoding digital image data (for example, JPEG method, GIF method, DV method, MPEG method, etc.). 40 is a medium access control unit for exchanging data with the recording medium 50 . Reference numeral 50 designates a recording medium capable of random access, and records digital data such as moving image data, still image data, and playlist data as data files. Reference numeral 60 is an operation unit including an operation panel having buttons and keys, a remote controller, and the like. 70 is a system controller which controls the whole operation of this apparatus, and has a microco...

[0097] 9 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an image recording and reproducing apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The image recording and reproducing apparatus in the first embodiment adds area information to image data itself, but the image recording and reproducing apparatus in this embodiment records area information as a file different from image data.

[0098] In FIG. 9, 10-140 are the same structures as those in FIG. 1, so the same reference numerals are assigned and descriptions are omitted. In FIG. 9 , 900 is a playlist generation unit. 910 is a playlist analysis unit.

[0099] The operation of the image recording and reproducing device shown in FIG. 9 will be described. The image recording and reproducing apparatus of this embodiment has two modes of recording mode and reproducing mode of moving images. In the recording mode, when recording video data, a playlist including area information of shooting locations i...

Abstract

There is disclosed an image recording apparatus which automatically records location information that the user can easily understand in an image recording apparatus which records a sensed image and location information associated with the image sensing location of that image in association with each other. An image recording apparatus of this invention includes an area information reception unit for acquiring area information broadcasted by an external apparatus such as a wireless base station or the like, and automatically acquires information associated with an area where the image recording apparatus is located. The apparatus records a sensed image signal and area information in association with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording device, and more particularly to a recording device capable of recording information on a position at the time of shooting together with captured image data. Background technique [0002] In recent years, devices that record digital image data of moving images and still images, such as digital still cameras and digital video cameras, are spreading. [0003] In digital cameras, compact memory cards are widely used as recording media, and digital cameras that can record not only still image data but also moving image data have appeared. Among digital video cameras, there are digital video cameras that use random-access recording media such as compact memory cards and magneto-optical disks as recording media. [0004] In a camera using such a random-access recording medium, a structure is adopted in which image data is stored in a file format. In this case, generally, the date and time information of the shoo...
