Information processing apparatus, information processing method and recording medium for electronic equipment including an electronic camera
First Claim
1. An information processing device that is removably connected to an electronic device that correlates image data to other data related to the image data as a recording group, using relation information, and records these data to a recording medium, the information processing device comprising:
- a first input portion that inputs from the electronic device (i) first information showing existence or non-existence of other data correlated to the image data and (ii) information that specifies the image data,a display control portion that (1) generates display information showing the existence or non-existence of the other data correlated to the image data, based on the first information, and (2) displays the display information and the information that specifies the image data on a display device next to each other,an instruction portion that instructs whether to input other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a first manual operation, anda second input portion that (a) inputs the image data and other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a second manual operation, when the instruction portion instructs that the other data is to be input from the electronic device, and (b) inputs the image data from the electronic device, based on the second manual operation, when the instruction portion instructs that the other data is not to be input from the electronic device.

Abstract
A personal computer to which electronic equipment, such as, an electronic camera is connected reads recording units that are recorded in the electronic camera and displays a table consisting of recording information. In recording information such as a main image, a sub image and sound in the electronic camera, data within the electronic camera are inter-related by an index which indicates that the information is part of a common recording unit. The date having the same index are output and displayed in a same thumbnail area. When a recording unit for deletion is designated from the table; check boxes are displayed according to information contained in the recording unit. For example, an “x” is displayed in the check box of the information to be deleted, indicating that the information is a target of deletion. After the selection of information is completed and an “OK” button is pressed, the personal computer sends a control command to the electronic camera and deletes the designated information. Rather than deletion, the designated information can be read from the electronic camera into the personal computer.

1. An information processing device that is removably connected to an electronic device that correlates image data to other data related to the image data as a recording group, using relation information, and records these data to a recording medium, the information processing device comprising:
-
a first input portion that inputs from the electronic device (i) first information showing existence or non-existence of other data correlated to the image data and (ii) information that specifies the image data, a display control portion that (1) generates display information showing the existence or non-existence of the other data correlated to the image data, based on the first information, and (2) displays the display information and the information that specifies the image data on a display device next to each other, an instruction portion that instructs whether to input other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a first manual operation, and a second input portion that (a) inputs the image data and other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a second manual operation, when the instruction portion instructs that the other data is to be input from the electronic device, and (b) inputs the image data from the electronic device, based on the second manual operation, when the instruction portion instructs that the other data is not to be input from the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. An information processing device that is removably connected to an electronic device that correlates image data to other data related to the image data as a recording group, using relation information, and records these data to a recording medium, the information processing device comprising:
-
a first input portion that inputs from the electronic device (i) first information showing existence or non-existence of other data correlated to the image data and (ii) information that specifies the image data, a first display control portion that correlates the image data to the other data and displays these data as a list on a display device, based on the first information and the information that specifies the image data, a second display control portion that displays on the display device a screen at which instructions are received from a user as to whether to delete the other data included in a specified recording group without deleting the image data in the specified recording group, when there is an instruction to delete data of the specified recording group by a first manual operation, and a control portion that makes the electronic device delete the other data without deleting the image data, based on receiving an instruction from a user to delete the other data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. An information processing method for use in an information processing device that is removably connected to an electronic device that correlates image data to other data related to the image data as a recording group, using relation information, and records these data to a recording medium, the method comprising:
-
inputting first information showing existence or non-existence of other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device; inputting information that specifies the image data from the electronic device; generating display information showing the existence or non-existence of the other data correlated to the image data, based on the first information; displaying the display information and the information that specifies the image data on a display device next to each other; instructing whether to input other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a first manual operation; inputting the image data and other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device, based on a second manual operation when the instructing instructs that the other data is to be input from the electronic device; and inputting the image data from the electronic device, based on the second manual operation, when the instructing instructs that the other data is not to be input from the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An information processing method for use in an information processing device that is removably connected to an electronic device that correlates image data to other data related to the image data as a recording group, using relation information, and records these data to a recording medium, the method comprising:
-
inputting first information showing existence or non-existence of other data correlated to the image data from the electronic device; inputting information that specifies the image data from the electronic device; correlating the image data to the other data and displaying these data as a list on a display device based on the first information and the information that specifies the image data; displaying on the display device a screen at which instructions are received from the user as to whether to delete the other data included in a specified recording group without deleting the image data in the specified recording group, when there is an instruction to delete data of the specified recording group by a first manual operation; and automatically controlling the electronic device to delete the other data without deleting the image data, based on receiving an instruction from a user to delete the other data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
