Note that the user of the portable information terminal needs to register the user with an Internet service provider that provides a homepage service and acquire a user ID in order to save the moving image data on a server on the Internet and register the moving image data on a Web page. is there. In the description of the operation, it is assumed that the following information is stored in the storage unit 14 of the portable information terminal 1 by a user's input operation. 1) The telephone number of the access point of the Internet service provider. 2) Login information (user name, password) to the Internet server. 3) Logical position information including a Web page document file name of a Web page for registering moving image data.

First, the processing in the processing phase of storing moving image data in the storage unit 14 in the portable information terminal 1 using the moving image operation screen 27 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Will be explained.
The user performs a start operation of the moving image operation screen 27 using the data input unit 7 (step ST101). A moving image operation screen 27 is displayed on the display unit 6. At this time, the image data processing unit 5 activates an A / D converter in the image data processing unit 5 according to an instruction of the moving image control unit 4, converts an analog signal from the camera 2 into a digital signal, and then generates display data. And outputs it to the display unit 6. Camera images are sequentially displayed in the camera image display area 28 in the moving image operation screen 27 (step ST102). The moving image operation screen 27 is in a state of waiting for a user's recording start operation while displaying a camera image (step ST103). Movie operation screen 2 in this state
7, only the recording button 30 and the end button 36 can be selected. In the registration destination designation area 34, the logical position of the Web page document file registered by the user in advance is displayed. The web page registration button 33 cannot be selected because there is no moving image data to be registered yet. Here, when the user selects the end button 36, the moving image control unit 4 stops the camera shooting and ends the moving image operation screen 27 (step ST104). When the user selects the recording button 30, the moving image control unit 4 stores the current date and time information, which is the time when the recording button 30 was pressed, in the date / time management unit 18.
(Step ST105). Also, the moving image control unit 4 instructs the image data processing unit 5 to output the image data to the image encoding / decoding unit 10 and outputs the audio data to the audio encoding / decoding unit 11. To the audio data processing unit 8. The moving image control unit 4 generates a file name by arranging the date acquired from the date / time management unit 18 and the date, time, year, month, day, hour, minute, and second of the time information (step ST1).
06). The reason for using the date and time information when the recording button 30 is pressed as the file name is to distinguish the moving image data from other moving image data when the file is stored in the storage unit 14 of the portable information terminal 1 and the storage unit 23 of the Internet server 22. .

The moving image control unit 4 sends the generated file name to the image / audio multiplexing / demultiplexing unit 12 and issues an instruction to store the generated moving image data in the storage unit 14 with the sent file name. The image / audio multiplexing / demultiplexing unit 12 passes the acquired file name to the file management unit 13, requests storage of moving image data, and outputs the image data from the image data processing unit 5 and encodes it in the image encoding / decoding unit 10. After the multiplexed image data and the audio data output from the audio data processing unit 8 and encoded by the audio encoding / decoding unit 11 are multiplexed in the image / audio multiplexing / demultiplexing unit 12, they are converted into moving image data. The file is sent to the file management unit 13. File management unit 13
Receives the moving image data and stores it in the storage unit 14 (step ST107). The process of storing the multiplexed moving image data is continuously performed until the user selects the recording button 30 on the moving image operation screen 27 again (step ST108).
During this time, the camera image display area 2 of the moving image operation screen 27 is also displayed.
A photographed image is displayed at 8, and the user can check the photographed state. When the user selects the recording button 30, the moving image control unit 4 causes the image data processing unit 5 to stop outputting the image data to the image encoding / decoding unit 10, and instructs the audio data processing unit 8 to output the audio data of the audio data. It instructs the encoding / decoding unit 11 to stop outputting. The image / audio multiplexing / demultiplexing unit 12 detects that there is no acquisition of the image data and audio data to be multiplexed, and ends the storage processing of the moving image data.
(Step ST109).

In this state, when the play button 31 on the moving image operation screen 27 is selected, the moving image control unit 4 stores the moving image data stored in the image / audio multiplexing / separating unit 12 in the storage unit 1.
4, after reading and separating, the image encoding / decoding unit 1
0 and an instruction to output them to the speech encoding / decoding unit 11. The image data separated and encoded by the image / audio multiplexing / separating unit 12 is decoded by the image encoding / decoding unit 10 and passed to the image data processing unit 5. The image data processing unit 5 generates display data from the image data and outputs the display data to the display unit 6. In the camera image display area 28 in the moving image operation screen 27, the reproduced moving image is displayed. The audio data separated and encoded by the image / audio multiplexing / demultiplexing unit 12 is decoded by the audio encoding / decoding unit 11 and passed to the audio data processing unit 8. The audio data processing unit 8 converts the audio data into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal to the speaker 9. The speaker 9 outputs the recorded voice. A user inputs a title character string of a recorded moving image in the title input area 29.
At step ST110, the moving image control unit 4 instructs the file management unit 13 to store the title character string information in the storage unit 14 in association with the previously stored moving image data. The file management unit 13 stores the received title character string information in the storage unit 14 in association with the previously stored moving image data (step ST111). FIG. 4 is a diagram showing management and storage states of moving image data, recording start date and time information as titles of moving image files, title character string information, and the like stored in the storage unit 14. The file management unit 13 manages the recording start date and time information, which is the moving image file name, the moving image data, the title character string information, and the logical location information of the registration destination Web page, which is the moving image data storage destination described later, as one moving image file management information. And stored in the storage unit 14.

The Web page editing unit 19 adds the recording start date and time information and the moving image title as character string information to the acquired Web page document file data. Subsequently, a moving image data file name is additionally inserted as logical position information so as to link from the moving image title character string information (step ST129). Since the logical position of the moving image data file has a different file name from the logical position of the Web page, the logical position information of the moving image file is formed by replacing the file name in the logical position information of the Web page with the moving image file name. More specifically, in editing the Web page document file, the logical position information of the moving image data file to be additionally inserted is created from the logical position information of the Web page document file received from the moving image control unit 4 and the file name of the moving image data. .
Since the logical position information is composed of a directory and a file name, if the file name of the logical position information of the Web page document file is replaced with the file name of the moving image data, the logical position information becomes the logical position information of the moving image data file. For example, if the logical position information of the Web page document file is “\\ xxx \ yyy \ video_list.html” and the video file name is “990401103012.mpg”, the logical position information of the video file is “\\ xxx \ yyy \ 990401103012.mpg ".
