Information processing method and apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- means for storing a pre-set processing unit on which is pasted object information captured by a clipping or copying operation and having different attributes and time information in association with each other and difference information indicating only a difference in the pre-set processing unit each time the pre-set processing unit is modified and a date and time corresponding to each modification, wherein the object information pasted onto the pre-set processing unit includes at least one of audio data and video data and the pre-set processing unit includes a button used to control reproduction of the at least one of the audio data and video data;
means for regenerating said pre-set processing unit in a state associated with a desired date and time based on said time information by retrieving the stored difference information corresponding to the desired date and time; and
rotatable operating means, whereinsaid means for regenerating controls a display state of the pre-set processing unit to show incremental changes in the pre-set processing unit in a first time direction based on a rotational actuation of said operating means in a first direction, and controls the display state of the pre-set processing unit to show incremental changes in the pre-set processing unit in a second time direction based on a rotational actuation of said operating means in a second direction, andsaid means for regenerating sets a color of an edge of the pre-set processing unit to a first color when that the pre-set processing unit is a past pre-set processing unit that can not be corrected regardless of whether the pre-set processing unit is being viewed in a past, present or future mode, and a second color when the pre-set processing unit is a future or present pre-set processing unit that is not currently correctable but may be made correctable by viewing the pre-set processing unit in one of the present or future modes.

Abstract
The state of a label at an optional time point, such as a past time point, can be recognized, while the label can be regenerated even when the label has been deleted. When a label on which can be pasted an object, such as text, picture or sound, is acted upon (yes at step S141) the difference of the label information is computed (step S142) and the computed difference information is stored (steps S144, S145). The label state is then regenerated based on the time information stored in association with the label and the difference information. Also, time is displayed, plural time intervals are displayed (step S201), a desired one of the plural time intervals is selected (step S202) and time display is controlled responsive to the selected time intervals (steps S203 to S206), to facilitate retrieval of the information corresponding to the specified time. In addition, a label handling at least the time concept is processed (step S231) and the time axis in displaying the label is controlled (step S233) based on an operating signal associated with rotational actuation from a jog dial (step S232).
