Information processing apparatus and recording medium
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- storage means for storing data sets having plural types of correlated data therein;
selection means for selecting a data set from the data sets stored in said storage means;
audio collecting means for collecting sound and converting said sound into audio data; and
control means for storing second audio data collected and converted by the audio collecting means in said storage means, said control means storing said second audio data correlated to first audio data of the data set selected by said selection means as a sequentially continuous audio sequence if the second audio data is inputted before a preset time has elapsed from when the first audio data was recorded.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus provides for continuous reproduction of audio data that has been added to and associated with image data. After a table of data sets recorded on a memory card (for example) is displayed, a data set is selected, e.g., by pressing a display associated with that data set. When an audio recording button is depressed, the sound is collected by a microphone while the button is depressed. The audio data corresponding to the sound is recorded on the memory card as second audio data of the data set when the selected data set already includes audio data. When the data set is reproduced, the image corresponding to the image data of that data set is displayed and the sound corresponding to each of the first and second audio data is output from the speaker in a continuous sequence.
