Abstract

For enabling simultaneous reproduction of a plurality of dynamic picture image information which have been recorded separately, the plurality of dynamic picture image information are separately recorded in a plurality of storage areas in a DRAM. The plurality of dynamic picture image information are disposed in different display areas on the same screen and reproduced simultaneously with reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information being timewise matched by a reproduction point designation section with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

Claims

1. An image recording and reproducing device comprising:

an image storage section whch has a plurality of storage areas and stores dynamic picture image information;

a recording section which records a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in the storage areas of said image storage section;

a reproducing section which disposes the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by said recording section in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

a reproduction point designation section which timewise matches particular reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

2. An image recording and reproducing device as recited in claim 1 wherein said reproduction point designation section designates at least one of a reproduction start address, a reproduction end address and a desired reproduction point address of the respective dynamic picture image information.

3. An image recording and reproducing device as recited in claim 2 wherein said reproducing section simultaneously starts reproduction of the plurality of dynamic picture image information from the reproduction start address of the respective dynamic picture image information designated by the reproduction point designation section and, when there is difference in time length of reproduction between the respective dynamic picture image information, reproduces the dynamic picture image information whose reproduction has been completed as a still picture until reproduction of the dynamic picture image information which has the longest reproduction time is completed.

4. An image recording and reproducing device as recited in claim 2 wherein said reproducing section simultaneously starts reproduction of the plurality of dynamic picture image information from the reproduction start address of the respective dynamic picture image information designated by the reproduction point designation section and, when there is difference in time length of reproduction betwen the respective dyanmic picture image information, ends reproduction of all of the dynamic picture image information at a timing when reproduction of the dynamic picture image information which has the shortest reproduction time is completed.

5. An image recording and reproducing device as recited in claim 2 wherein said reproducing section determines the reproduction start address and the reproduction end adress in such a manner that a reproduction timing of the desired reproduction point address designated by the reproduction point designation section coincides among the respective dynamic picture image information.

6. An image recording and reproducing device comprising:

an image storage section whch has a plurality of storage areas and stores dynamic picture image information;

a recording section which records a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in the storage areas of said image storage section;

a reproducing section which disposes the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by said recording section in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

a reproduction point operation section which manually designates reproduction points of the dynamic picture image information reproduced by the reproducing section one by one with respect to the respective dynamic picture image information, or simultaneously with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

7. A medium storing an image recording and reproducing program comprising:

a recording processing for recording a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in a plurality of storage areas of an image storage section which stores the dynamic picture image information;

a reproducing processing for disposing the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by the recording section in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

a reproduction point designation processing for timewise matching particular reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

8. A medium as recited in claim 7 wherein said reproduction point designation processing displays, on the same screen as the one for the respective dynamic picture image information, an operation window for designationg at least one of a reproduction start address, a reproduction end address and a desired reproduction point address of the respective dynamic picture image information and matches the reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information on the basis of event information supplied from the operation window.

9. An image recording and reproducing device comprising:

image storage means having a plurality of storage areas for storing dynamic picture image information;

recording means for recording a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in the storage areas of said image storage means;

reproducing means for disposing the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by said recording means in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

reproduction point designation means for timewise matching particular reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

10. An image recording and reproducing device comprising:

image storage means having a plurality of storage areas for storing dynamic picture image information;

recording means for recording a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in the storage areas of said image storage means;

reproducing means for disposing the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by said recording means in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

reproduction point operation means for manually designating reproduction points of the dynamic picture image information reproduced by the reproducing means one by one with respect to the respective dynamic picture image information, or simultaneously with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

11. A medium storing an image recording and reproducing program comprising:

recording means for recording a plurality of dynamic picture image information separately in a plurality of storage areas of an image storage section which stores the dynamic picture image information;

reproducing means for disposing the plurality of dynamic picture image information recorded by the recording means in different display areas on the same screen and reproduces them simultaneously; and

reproduction point designation means for timewise matching particular reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.
