IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An image recording apparatus to record on a disc comprising:
- an image input receiver receiving images;
an encoder compressing the received images and generating stream data;
one or more cell buffers buffering the stream data in units of cells;
a data recorder recording cell data, which is buffered units of cells, on the disc;
a decoder decoding the buffered cell data when a user selects a real-time image synthesis option; and
an image synthesizer synthesizing a connecting part between a previous scene of images, which is received from the decoder, and a current scene of images, which is received from the image input receiver, with a target image and transmitting the result of synthesis to the encoder to create a fading effect between the previous and current scenes.

Abstract
A image recording apparatus includes: an image input receiver receiving images; an encoder compressing the received images and generating stream data; one or more cell buffers buffering the stream data in units of cells; a data recorder recording cell data, which is buffered units of cells, on a disc; a decoder decoding the buffered cell data when a user selects a real-time image synthesis option; and an image synthesizer synthesizing a connecting part between a previous scene of images, which are received from the decoder, and a current scene of images, which are received from the image input receiver, with a target image and transmitting the result of synthesis to the encoder in order to create a fading effect between the previous and current scenes.

9. An image recording method comprising:
-
encoding input images and generating stream data; buffering the stream data in units of cells to produce cell data; decoding the cell data, when a user selects a real-time image synthesis option; selecting, by a user, a target image to be synthesized; synthesizing a connecting part between a previous scene of images, which is obtained after the cell data is decoded, and a current scene of images, which is input, with the target image to create a fading effect between the previous scene and the current scene; and encoding a result of the synthesis and recording the result of the encoding on a disc. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of real-time recording of discontinuous image scenes on an image recording device, comprising:
-
recording a first recorded image scene and stopping the recording; starting a recording of a currently recording image scene; and changing smoothly in real-time between the first recorded image scene and the currently recording image scene. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An image recording apparatus to record on a disc in real-time discontinuous image scenes, comprising:
-
an image input receiver receiving images in real-time; an encoder compressing the received images and generating stream data; one or more cell buffers buffering the stream data in units of cells; a data recorder recording cell data, which is buffered units of cells, on the disc; and a real-time discontinuous image synthesizer, with a user input device enabling a user to select between a real-time image synthesis option and a general recording option, synthesizing in real-time discontinuous image scenes. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
