Abstract

A structure is provided that prevents damage to an HDD and loss of recorded data by prohibiting the hard disk from being shifted to the active state in a state in which there is a problem with an environment. On the basis of detection information of each of sensors such as a fall sensor and a temperature sensor, it is determined whether or not data recording or a playback process utilizing the hard disk can be executed safely. The hard disk is caused to be shifted from being in a suspended state to being in an active state on condition that it is determined that safe data recording or playback is possible, and a data recording and playback process utilizing the hard disk is executed. By using this structure, the hard disk is prevented from being shifted to being in the active state in a state in which there is a problem with the environment, for example, in the case of falling, the case of high temperature or high humidity, or the like, and damage to the HDD and loss of recorded data can be prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an imaging device, an information processing method, and a computer program. In particular, it relates to an information processing device, an imaging device, an information processing method, and a computer program having a structure in which data to be recorded is temporarily stored in a buffer and intermittently recorded from the buffer to the hard disk in a device using a hard disk as a recording medium. data. Background technique [0002] In information processing equipment such as video cameras or others, hard disks are often used as data recording media. Hard disks have a large recording capacity, are easy to access, and can be installed as hard disk drives (HDDs) in various devices. [0003] When recording data to a hard disk in a device equipped with an HDD, the intermittent recording method is often used in order to reduce power consumption. For example, when recording phot...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] There are cases where data cannot be recorded due to the environment

Shock will not cause damage to HDD even when HDD is in suspend state, but it may cause damage to HDD while in active state

In this way, in the fragile active state, if a severe external environment change such as a shock occurs, not only the captured image cannot be recorded, but also the image recorded so far may be destroyed.
