Abstract

An information processing apparatus is provided, in which content and position information generated independently of each other are recorded in a recording medium. The apparatus includes a recording medium in which the content and the position information are recorded and a deletion unit deleting position information temporally associated with a piece of the content from the recording medium when the piece of content is deleted from the recording medium.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus in which imaged content and position information generated independently of each other are recorded in a recording medium, comprising:

a recording medium in which the content and the position information are recorded; and

a deletion unit deleting position information temporally associated with a piece of the content from the recording medium when the piece of content is deleted from the recording medium.

2. An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when a piece of the content generated on a specified day is entirely deleted, the deletion unit deletes all position information generated on the day from the recording medium.

3. An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the deletion unit deletes the position information entirely from the recording medium when the entire content is deleted.

4. An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a position information acquisition unit generating the position information.

5. An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an imaging unit generating the content by imaging an object:

6. An information processing method for processing content and position information generated independently of each other and recorded in a recording medium, comprising the step of:

deleting position information temporally associated with a piece of content from the recording medium when the piece of content is deleted from the recording medium.

7. A computer program processing content and position information generated independently of each other and recorded in a recording medium, comprising the step of:

deleting position information temporally associated with a piece of content from the recording medium when the piece of content is deleted from the recording medium.
