Information processing apparatus, information processing method and recording medium for electronic equipment including an electronic camera
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus that is electronically connectable to electronic equipment, the electronic equipment stores at least main image data, sub image data and sound data, each of the data having information including first information relating to types of said data and identical second information that identifies inter-relationships among said data, the apparatus executing a predetermined process for the main image data, the sub image data and the sound data stored in said electronic equipment, the apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting said information for each of the main image data, the sub image data and the sound data from the electronic equipment;
correlating means for correlating said first information into units based on said identical second information;
display information generation means for generating display information from the correlated first information which are correlated by said correlating means; and
output means for outputting the display information generated by said display information generation means for display on a display device.

Abstract
A personal computer to which electronic equipment, such as, an electronic camera is connected reads recording units that are recorded in the electronic camera and displays a table consisting of recording information. In recording information such as a main image, a sub image and sound in the electronic camera, data within the electronic camera are inter-related by an index which indicates that the information is part of a common recording unit. The date having the same index are output and displayed in a same thumbnail area. When a recording unit for deletion is designated from the table, check boxes are displayed according to information contained in the recording unit. For example, an “x” is displayed in the check box of the information to be deleted, indicating that the information is a target of deletion. After the selection of information is completed and an “OK” button is pressed, the personal computer sends a control command to the electronic camera and deletes the designated information. Rather than deletion, the designated information can be read from the electronic camera into the personal computer.
