Abstract

A recording and reproducing apparatus which records and reproduces data with respect to a plurality of recording media includes a display unit for simultaneously displaying, on a display screen having a display area for each recording medium, data recorded onto recording media in corresponding display areas, a selection unit for selecting specific data from the data displayed on the display screen, and a designation unit for designating a moving destination of the selected data. If a display area other than a recording medium as a recording source of the selected data exists in the moving destination designated by the designation unit, the selected data is duplicated or moved to a recording medium corresponding to the display area.

Claims

1. A recording and reproducing apparatus which records and reproduces data with respect to at least one recording media, comprising:

a display unit adapted to simultaneously display data recorded on the recording medium on a first display area of a display screen;

a selection unit adapted to select specific data from the data displayed on the first display area; and

a direction designation unit adapted to designate a direction to the selected data,

wherein the display unit is adapted to display at least one second display area to which the selected data on the first display area is enabled to be shifted,

wherein the second display area locates in a predetermined direction with regard to a position of the selected data which is on the first display area,

a shift unit adapted to shift the selected data on the first display area to the second display area, if the direction designation unit designates the predetermined direction to the selected data, and

a deleting unit adapted to delete the selected data on the first display area, if the direction designation unit designates the other direction different from the predetermined direction to the selected data.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one second display area locates on the display screen.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the data includes image data.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined direction includes upward direction with regard to the display screen.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined direction includes downward direction with regard to the display screen.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the other direction is a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

7. A data processing method for processing data with respect to at least one recording medium, comprising:

displaying simultaneously data reproduced from the recording medium on a first display area of a display screen;

selecting specific data from the data displayed on the first display area; and

designating a direction to the data selected by selecting,

wherein the displaying includes displaying at least one second display area to which the selected data on the first display area is enabled to be shifted,

wherein the second display area locates in a predetermined direction with regard to a position of the selected data which is on the first display area,

shifting the selected data on the first display area to the second display area, if the designating designates the predetermined direction to the selected data, and

deleting the selected data on the first display area, if the designating designates the other direction different from the predetermined direction to the selected data.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein at least one second display area locates on the display screen.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the data includes image data.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined direction includes upward direction with regard to the display screen.

11. The method according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined direction includes downward direction with regard to the display screen.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause a computer to execute the method according to claim 7.

13. A recording and reproducing apparatus which records and reproduces data with respect to at least one recording media, comprising:

a display unit adapted to simultaneously display data recorded on the recording medium on a first display area of a display screen;

a selection unit adapted to select specific data from the data displayed on the first display area; and

a direction designation unit adapted to designate a direction to the selected data,

wherein the display unit is adapted to display a one second display area to which the selected data on the first display area is enabled to be shifted,

wherein the second display area locates in a predetermined direction with regard to a position of the selected data which is on the first display area,

a shift unit adapted to shift the selected data on the first display area to the second display area, if the direction designation unit designates the predetermined direction to the selected data, and

a deleting unit adapted to delete the selected data on the first display area, if the direction designation unit designates a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to the selected data.

14. A data processing method for processing data with respect to at least one recording medium, comprising:

displaying simultaneously data reproduced from the recording medium on a first display area of a display screen;

selecting specific data from the data displayed on the first display area; and

designating a direction to the data selected by selecting,

wherein the displaying includes displaying a second display area to which the selected data on the first display area is enabled to be shifted,

wherein the second display area locates in a predetermined direction with regard to a position of the selected data which is on the first display area,

shifting the selected data on the first display area to the second display area, if the designating designates the predetermined direction to the selected data, and

deleting the selected data on the first display area, if the designating designates a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to the selected data.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause a computer to execute the method according to claim 14.
