Abstract

PURPOSE:To put a recording medium mounting section into an operating state at the time of turning on a power source and to decreases the laborious operations at the time of selecting the mounting section by providing the above device with an EEPROM for storing an operation history and a CPU for controlling the operating state of the device. CONSTITUTION:The EEPROM 14e stores any of a memory card 3 which is held placed in the operating state selectively just before a changeover when this device is changed over from the operating state to the non-operating state or a memory card interface I/F 19 which is the mounting section of a floppy disk(FD) 5 or a floppy disk drive(FDD) 21. The CPU 14a preferentially selects the mounting section and puts the section into the operation enable state if the mounting section (either of the I/F 19 or FDD 21) mounted with the recording medium when the device is changed over to the operating state exists as the constituting element of the recording and reproducing control section 14 like the EEPROM 14e. The CPU puts the mounting section stored in the EEPROM 14e into the operation enable state if the recording is not mounted.

The selection operation, recording, reproduction, interval recording, copy operation, etc. of the recording / reproducing unit of the image recording / reproducing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be explained using each flowchart. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the main routine of the control operation of the present recording / reproducing apparatus, and this processing starts when the POWER SW button 16z is turned on. First, in step S1, a subroutine "initial setting" is performed. This processing is to set which side of the memory card 3 and / or the FD 5 the recording medium mounting section is to be operated, that is, the memory card I / F 19,
Alternatively, it is a process of setting which of the FDDs 21 is to be activated, and then the recording / reproducing frame No. 1
Set to.

The flowchart of the above-mentioned subroutine "initial setting" is shown in FIG.
2, 143, FD5 or memory card 3
It is determined whether only one of the FD5 and the memory card 3 is attached, or both the FD5 and the memory card 3 are attached or not attached, and either the FD5 or the memory card 3 is attached. To do.

If both the FD 5 and the memory card 3 are mounted or not mounted, which side of the FD 5 or the memory card 3 was in operation when the power was last turned off in step S144. EEPR
Since it is stored in the OM 14e, based on that information,
Either the slot 19a for the FD 5 or the memory card 3 and the memory card I / F 19 or the FDD 21 is activated. If only the FD5 is attached, the FDD21 is activated in step S145,
If only the memory card 3 is installed, step S14
At 6, the memory card I / F 19 is activated.

By initializing the operating state of the recording / reproducing unit of the recording medium as described above, when the recording medium is removed, the state when the power was last turned off can be reproduced. Without selecting parts
The recording / reproducing operation using the same recording medium can be executed. Also, if either recording medium is still inserted, in this case also, when the power is turned on again, it is possible to perform the recording / playback operation by the recording medium loading section which is immediately in the inserted state without performing the selection operation. You can move.

It should be noted that it is possible to propose a modification in which the same processing is performed for the initialization processing when the image recording / reproducing apparatus has three or more recording medium mounting portions. But,
In this case, when there are a plurality of mounted recording media when the power is turned on, the last mounted recording medium is mounted according to the history information of the order in which the plurality of recording media are mounted. Designate the installed part to activate. Alternatively, when the recording medium is a memory card or the like and has a high processing speed, the plurality of mounting portions on which the plurality of recording media are mounted are alternately operated,
Recording and reproduction may be performed on a plurality of recording media substantially at the same time.

Subsequently, each switch process is executed through the connecting portions "B4" to "B10" in the flowchart of FIG. 3, but when none of the switches is operated, the RIGHT is performed in steps S2 and S3. The state of SW16v or LEFT SW16t is checked. Increment or decrement. The frame No. Is displayed on the display portion 17e on the front panel 1a, and the connection portion "B4" is returned to.

When the process proceeds to step S11 and thereafter shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 through the connecting portion "B4", the interval recording condition is set. That is, in step S11, INT. The on / off state of the REC SW 16g is checked. If the REC SW 16g is off, the process proceeds to the connection section "B5" in FIG.
Proceed to.

In step S12, the menu screen G1 shown in FIG. 29 is output to the monitor by the screen information via the D / A conversion circuit 12 and displayed. INT indicates that this screen is for interval recording
The REC and the number of recording frames (1st to 2nd lines) and the current value (4th to 6th lines) of the recording time interval at the time of interval recording that can be selected in the interval recording are recorded on each recording medium and when the data is compressed ( COMPRESS) and uncompressed (NOT COMPRE
This is the screen shown for SS). The number of recording frames can be set by, for example, a remote controller.

The recording time interval at the time of selectable interval recording can be designated according to each access time for the compression / non-compression processing of each recording medium, and for example, Table 1
The range shown in can be selected. The lower limit of the time interval shown in Table 1 is a value indicating the limit of interval recording on the access time of each medium, and the time interval shorter than this value can be selected by the regulating means built in the CPU 14a. Not allowed.

Although Table 1 does not show setting constants in the non-compression process for the FD as a recording medium, these are:
This is because even if the interval recording process in the non-compression process of the FD is actually performed, the storage capacity of one FD is only one or two screens, and therefore the device itself prohibits it. Also, FD
The symbol in parentheses () indicates the property relating to the storage capacity of the FD, and the value in parentheses () in the memory card indicates the access time. For these distinctions, the device automatically determines when the medium is loaded.

[0027]

[Table 1]

The values that can actually be set as the recording time intervals are within the range of Table 1 above, and are some practical values stored in advance. For example, when the compression process is performed in the card 3 having the access time of 200 ns, 30 kinds of values shown in Table 2 can be selected. Note that this value is selected in step S of the flowchart of FIG. 5 described later.
36, 37. If a value exceeding the above value is selected at the time of this selection, a warning may be issued by a buzzer, an LED, or the like.

[0029]

[Table 2]

After displaying the menu screen G1 in step S12 of FIG. 4, the process proceeds to step S13, and the fourth line of the display section G1A of the screen G1 is displayed in red (FD
(2HD) COMPRESS.). Further, in step S14, it is checked whether the RIGHT SW 16v is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S19, and the position of the red display portion is checked. If the red display portion is within the 4th to 6th lines, step S of FIG.
If the red display portion is other than the 4th to 6th lines, the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, DOWN SW16
Check u on / off. If off, step S
Proceed to 16. If it is on, the process jumps to step S20 to shift the red display portion downward by one line. Then, the process proceeds to step S17 described below. In step S16, UP
Check ON / OFF of SW16s. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S17 described below. If on, step S
Jump to step 21 and move the red display portion upward by one line. Then, the process proceeds to step S17. The transition range of the red display portion in steps S20 and S21 is 4
~ The sixth line. In step S17, STAR
Check ON / OFF of T SW16j. If it is off, the process returns to step S14. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S18, and it is checked whether the seventh line of the menu screen G1 is displayed in red. If the seventh line is not displayed in red, the process returns to step S14. If the seventh line is displayed in red, the process jumps to step S22, it is determined that the process of setting the recording time interval is canceled, and the display of the menu screen G1 is turned off. Then, the process returns to step S11.

When the process proceeds to the connecting portion "B1" by the check in step S19, the processes from step S31 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 which will be described later are performed. That is, in step S31, the display portion G1B on the same line of the screen G1 is displayed in red. Then, in steps S32 and S33, the ON / OFF state of the directional switch UP SW16s and DOWN SW16u is checked. UP SW16s, or
When the DOWN SW 16u is turned on, the constant of the recording time interval of the medium displayed in the display section G1B of the red display line is changed to the plus (increase) direction or the minus (decrease) direction in Table 2 above. Then, the process returns to step S32. Further, in step S34, it is checked whether the LEFT SW 16t is on or off. If it is on, the process jumps to step S38, the display G1A is displayed in red, and the step S14 shown in FIG. The process returns, and processing such as medium designation is performed. If the LEFT SW 16t is off, the process proceeds to step S35.

In step S35, START SW16
Check on / off of h. If it is off, the process returns to step S32. If it is ON, in order to perform the interval recording, the display of the menu screen G1 is ended in step S39, and the value of the recording time interval which has already been set is written in the EEPROM 14e in step S40. Therefore, even if the POWER SW 16z is turned off, the same recording time interval can be easily set again. Succeedingly, in a step S41, a later-described subroutine "INT RE"
Call "C action" and execute interval recording at the set time interval. After that, the process returns to step S11 of FIG. 4 through the connecting portion "B3".

FIG. 12 shows the subroutine "INT R".
5 is a flowchart of an "EC operation" process. In this process, first, in step S151, a medium is designated, and then in step S152, a subroutine "record" to be described later is called to record the image data of the first frame. Then, the process proceeds to step S153, the timer constant is set based on the time interval of the interval recording which has already been set, and the time counting of the timer is started in step S154.

At step S155, it is checked whether the FOOT SW6 is on. If the FOOT SW6 is off, the process proceeds to step S156 to perform normal interval shooting. When it is on, interval recording of setting modes 1, 2 and 3 which will be described later and controlled by the FOOT SW6 is performed.

In step S156, STOP S
Check the on / off state of W16i, and if it is on, end this routine, but if it is off,
It proceeds to step S157. Therefore, it is determined whether or not recording can be continued on the basis of the number of remaining frames, and if it is impossible, this routine is ended. If it is possible, the process proceeds to step S158. Therefore, the end of the time measurement of the interval timer is checked, the process returns to step S155 until the time measurement ends, and if the time measurement ends, the process returns to step S151,
The next frame is recorded.

If the FOOT SW6 is on, the process jumps to step S159 as described above, and F
The interval recording controlled by the OOT SW6 is executed.

The mode 1, mode 2, and mode 3 in the interval recording will now be described. The operation state of each mode is as follows in the interval 1 in the mode 1 as shown in the time chart of FIG. , F
Recording is performed at the timing P4 when the OOT SW6 is pressed, and the interval recording that has been executed until then is interrupted.
Note that T0 in FIG. 3 indicates the interval time of interval recording. Timings P1 to P27 indicate recording timings during the interval recording operation.

In mode 2, during execution of the interval recording, the FOOT SW6 is set at the timing P14 of the recording waiting time.
When is pressed, recording is performed at the timing P14, and thereafter interval recording is continued without changing the timing.

In mode 3, during execution of interval recording, FOOT SW6 is set at the timing P24 of the recording waiting time.
When is pressed, recording is performed at the timing P24, and then the interval recording is continued with the timing P24 as the recording timing of the interval recording.

The above-mentioned mode can be specified on the monitor screen G7 shown in FIG.
It is displayed as "INT REC MODE" on the line.

When the process jumps to step S159, the image data is first recorded once, and the setting mode is checked in steps S160 and S161. Then, in the case of mode 3, the process returns to step S153 to continue the interval recording of mode 3 described above. In the case of mode 2, the process returns to step S155 and the interval recording in mode 2 is continued. In the case of mode 1,
This routine ends directly.

As described above, in the present apparatus, only the recording time intervals that deviate from the access speed of the target recording medium are regulated, and the intervals of the desired time intervals that make the best use of the characteristics of the medium are set. Recording can be executed. By operating the FOOT SW6, special recording during normal interval recording becomes possible.

As described above, the INT. If the REC SW 16g is checked to turn it off, the flow advances to step S61 in the flowchart of FIG. 6 via the connection "B5". Therefore, COPY SW1
Check the on / off state of 6a. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S81 of FIG. 7 through the connecting portion "B6", but if it is on, the process proceeds to step S62 to execute the copying process.

First, in step S62, the designated frame of the first medium, which is the copy source designated in steps S3 and S5 of FIG. 3, is reproduced and displayed on the monitor. Then, in step S63, the CARD3-compatible LED 17 is currently being used.
It is checked whether or not f is lit, and if it is lit, in step S64, the LED for CFD to FD transfer is lit among the transfer display LEDs 17g. If it is not lit, the transfer display LED 17 is displayed in step S71.
In g, the LED for FD to CARD transfer is turned on.

Then, in step S65, it is checked whether or not copying is possible based on the presence or absence of recording prohibition processing of the second medium which is the transfer destination medium and the number of remaining frames. If not possible,
Jump to step S70 and transfer display LED 17g
LED from CARD to FD or FD to C
Turn off the ARD transfer LED. Then, the connecting portion "B6
Via ", the process proceeds to step S81 in FIG.

If copying is possible, step S6
Proceed to 6 and 67, and RIGHT SW16v or L
Check on / off of EFT SW16t. If any of them is on, the frame number of the transfer source is NO. Is incremented (step S72) or decremented (step S73), and the process returns to step S66. At this time, the frame N of the first medium of the transfer source is displayed on the single LED display unit 17e.
O. Is displayed. In addition, the frame No. The image data of can be observed on the monitor via the D / A conversion circuit 12.

Then, in step S68, START S
If W16h is detected to be turned on, the process proceeds to step S74, and the subroutine "record" process described later is performed to record the data of the first medium of the transfer source in the second medium of the transfer destination. Then, the process proceeds to step S70 described above. Also,
When the START SW 16h is off, step S6
9, the STOP SW 16i is checked, and if it is off, the process returns to step S66. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S70.

As described above, in the copying operation by this apparatus, the copy destination frame No. Is automatically selected in the recording process of FIG. 14 which will be described later.
O. Only the single display unit 17e needs to be displayed, which simplifies the configuration. And, regardless of the original image information,
This simplification does not hinder the user.

The connecting portion "B6" in the flow chart of FIG.
Via the step S of the flowchart shown in FIG.
When jumping to 81, CO for specifying the two-screen display process
Check ON / OFF of MP2SW16m. If it is off, step S10 in FIG. 8 is performed via the connecting portion "B7".
Go to 1. On the other hand, if it is turned on, the process proceeds to step S82 for performing a two-screen display process of the screen G2 of the multi-screen display as shown in FIG.

In step S82, the display widths x and y of the left and right screens of the screen G2 shown in FIG. 31 are set to the same value. Further, the value of the flag (FLAG) R0 is set to 1. In addition, the screen frame NO. Is displayed, but the frame No. on the right side is displayed. Is displayed in red.

The flag R0 is used as display area designating means for selectively designating one partial display area of the display screen and the other partial display area of the left side area and the right side area. Note that the left or right display area is as shown in FIG.
Corresponds to the x region or the y region. Further, the screen display magnifications of both of the above-mentioned two screens are equal.

Next, in step S82A, it is checked whether or not the flag RESET1 of COMP2 in the two-screen display process is on. This COMP2 flag RESET1 can be specified in the sixth line on the monitor screen G7 in FIG. 36. When this flag RESET1 is ON, the display screen is displayed when the COMP2 mode of the two-screen display process is entered. Scroll starting positions x1 and y1 of the scroll starting position, that is, a reset position L, which will be described later,
Reset to S and R. When the flag is off, the reset is not performed when the COMP2 mode is entered.

RES is checked in step S82A.
If ET1 is ON, the horizontal starting point coordinate value x1 of the left side display screen and the horizontal starting point coordinate value y1 of the right side display section are reset in steps S82B and 82C. If it is off, the reset is not executed, and step S83
Proceed to.

The values x1 and y of the horizontal starting point coordinates
As shown in FIG. 32, 1 indicates the scroll start point in the display screen x, y areas with respect to the horizontal coordinates on the image data of the VRAM 1, VRAM 2 for the x, y areas built in the VRAM 13c. Also, the scroll end points in the display screen x, y areas are indicated by xb, yb. Therefore, the display range is x1 to xb or y1 to y, respectively.
Indicated by b. Then, the values x1 and y of the horizontal starting point are set.
1 takes a value between the minimum values x0 and y0 indicating the left end of the normal one-screen display in the VRAM1 and VRAM2 and the maximum values x2 and y2 indicating the midpoint of the same one-screen display.

When the horizontal start point values x1 and y1 take the maximum values x2 and y2, the scroll end point xb.
, Yb coincide with the right end positions xa and ya of the normal one-screen display of VRAM1 and VRAM2. In addition, VRAM1, V
The output of the RAM2 is the changeover switch elements 13c1 and 1
It is switched by 3c2. Then, it is output to the D / A conversion circuit 12 and the above two screens are displayed.

The reset values for the horizontal starting points x1 and y1 can be specified in three ways, L, S and R, on the 8th and 9th lines on the monitor screen G7 in FIG. This L, S,
The position of R is the left and right screens G3a ', G of the screen G3' in FIG.
As shown in 3b ', they correspond to the left, center, and right screen displays, respectively. However, the modified example is not limited to these three types, and may be any number or may be specified by a numerical value.

In step S82B, the subroutine "x1 reset" in FIG. 13 is called, and in steps S163 and 164 of the routine, it is determined whether the value x1 is designated as R, L or S. . In the case of L, x0 is given to the value x1 in step S165, and only the left side of the screen is displayed. If S, the value x1 in step S166
Is given (x0 + x2) / 2, and only the center of the screen is displayed. In the case of R, x2 is given to the value x1 in step S167, and only the right side of the screen is displayed. The above values x0 and x2
Is a value indicating the screen left end position and the screen center position on the VRAM 1 for the x screen on the image memory of FIG. 32, as described above.

In step S82C, the subroutine "y1 reset" in FIG. 14 is called, and in steps S170 and 171 of the routine, it is determined whether the value y1 is designated as R, L or S. . In the case of L, y0 is given to the value y1 in step S172, and only the left side of the screen is displayed. In the case of S, the value y1 is obtained in step S173.

EFT SW process "is called.

The above subroutine "RIGHT S
The "W process" and the "LEFT SW process" are the partial display areas designated by the display area designating means, x in FIG.
This is a process based on a means for executing a process for scrolling an image displayed in the partial display region with respect to an image signal generated so as to correspond to the region or the y region.

The subroutine "RIGHT SW process" is a process for moving the display screen to the right.
It is shown in the flowchart of FIG. Step S187
Check the mode 1 and 2 of COMP2 for two-screen display. The mode 1 of COMP2 is a mode in which only one side of the screen in the x, y display area is scrolled, and the mode 2 is a mode in which both screens in the x, y display area are scrolled. The selection of the mode 2 of COMP2 is
It can be selected on the 10th line of the monitor screen G7 in FIG.

If the mode is checked in step S187, the process proceeds to steps S191 and 192.
The values x1 and y1 are incremented. The maximum value is up to x2 and y2. In the case of mode 1, the process proceeds to step S188. In step S188, the flag R0 is checked. If the value is 1, the process jumps to step S189, and if the value is 0, the process jumps to step S190. In step S189, the value y1 of the horizontal starting point coordinate of the y display area is incremented. Further, in step S190, the value x1 of the horizontal starting point coordinate of the x display area is incremented. After the above increment processing, this routine is ended.

By turning on / off the TSW 16t, it is possible to scroll either the left or right screen independently or to scroll both left and right screens in the original size in any part of one screen that is divided and displayed. It is possible to easily compare the neighborhood and the edge of the screen. Further, although the screen of the present apparatus is divided into the left and the right, the present display processing is not limited to this, and the present display processing can be applied to a multi-screen display of upper and lower divisions or a divided display of two or more screens.

The connecting portion "B7" in the flow chart of FIG.
8 ”, the process proceeds to a recording process based on the operation of the FOOT SW6 in step S101 and subsequent steps shown in the flowchart of FIG. Then, in step S101, FO
Whether the OT SW6 is on or off is checked, and if it is on, in step S102, one-frame recording is executed by a subroutine "recording" process described later. After that, when the switch SW6 is turned off, the process proceeds to the all erasing process (ALL ERASE) shown in FIG.

In step S111, ALL
Check ON / OFF of ERASE SW16e.
In the case of OFF, it will be described later with reference to FIG.
If it is on, the process jumps to step S112 to erase all, and one-screen reproduction is performed. In step S113, the message "ALLER
ASE ”is displayed.

In step S114, START
Check ON / OFF of SW16h. If it is off, it is further checked whether or not the SW in the other mode is operated. If the SW is operated, the stop mode process is performed in step S117, and the process of the flowchart of FIG. 10 is performed via the connecting portion "B9". . If the START SW 16h is on, the process proceeds to step S115 to check whether the current all erase mode is mode 1 or mode 2.

The all-erasure mode 1 is a mode for erasing all the recorded data, and the all-erasure mode 2 is a mode for erasing only the data file having the extension "J6I". This mode is the monitor screen G7 in FIG.
It can be specified in the fourth line above.

If the mode 1 is determined in the check in step S115, the process jumps to step S119, and if the mode 2 is determined, the step S1 is performed.
Proceed to 16. In steps S116 and 119, the data file with the extension "J6I" or all data files are deleted. In step S117, the stop mode process is performed, and then the multi-screen display process shown in FIG. 10 is performed via the connection section "B9".

In the flow chart shown in FIG. 10, it is checked at step S121 whether the MULTI16SW16p is on or off. If it is off, the process returns to the main routine of FIG. 3 through the connecting portion "B10". If on, 1
In order to execute the multi-screen processing of 6 screens, step S1
Go to 22 and below.

In step S122, the subroutine "16 screen display" processing is called. This process is a process for displaying the 16-frame display screen G5 of FIG.
The flowchart is shown in FIG. First, step S
In step 221, first, the designated frame number NO. give. Further, in step S222, 1 is given to the variable m16 indicating each display position of the 16 screens.
These variables n16 and m16 are incremented when the 16 screens are displayed one screen after another, and the corresponding frame numbers NO. And 16 display positions are given. .

In step S223, it is checked whether or not there is image data in the frame corresponding to the variable n16. If there is no image data, the corresponding display screen is displayed in blue in step S224. If image data exists, in step S229, the frame No. given to n16 is assigned to the division position corresponding to m16. The screen of is reduced and displayed. In step S225, the variables n16 and m16 are incremented.

Then, in step S226, MULTI
16 SW 16p ON / OFF is checked. In order to temporarily stop the 16-screen display operation, when the SW 16p is operated and turned on, the process jumps to step S230. On the other hand, if the SW 16p is not operated, the process directly proceeds to step S227, and the STOP SW1
Check that 6i is on. Therefore, the STOPSW1
When the operation of 6i is performed, the 16-screen display operation is interrupted, but if the STOPSW 16i is not operated, the process returns to step S223 until the value of the variable m16 exceeds 16 in step S228. Also, the value of the variable m16 reaches 16,
When the display of 16 screens is completed, this subroutine is completed. Then, the process returns to step S123 in FIG.

When jumping to step S230, the 16-screen display operation is suspended. Then, the next switch operation is awaited. That is, in step S231 or step S232, START is performed.
When SW16h and STOP SW16i are operated and turned on, the 16-screen display operation is interrupted and the process returns to step S123 in FIG. In addition, once again, MULTI16 S
When W16p is operated and turned on, step S227
Then, the 16-screen display is resumed.

When the process returns to step S123 of FIG. 10, the start LED is made to blink. In addition, FIG.
The first display frame No. is displayed on screen G5 of 16-screen display. Blink. In step S124, START SW1
Check 6h on. However, this check is performed by START SW1 in step S231 of FIG.
A flag is set by operating 6h, and the flag is checked in parallel. If the check operation is on, the process proceeds to step S130, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S125.

When the process proceeds to step S125, the turning on of the direction indicating SWs 16s to 16v for moving the selected frame is checked, and if it is on, the corresponding frame number NO. Is displayed in red. Then MUL
Check that TI16 SW16p is on. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S129, and the next 16 screens, for example,
When the current 16 screens are displayed from the first frame to the 16th frame, the 16-screen display operation from the 17th frame to the 32nd frame is started. Then, in step S127, another mode S
Check if W is turned on and if it is off,
Returning to step S124, if turned on, this processing is interrupted. If the MULTI16 SW16p remains off, the process proceeds to step S127.

On the other hand, when jumping to step S130, in the subsequent processing, the frame N is displayed by the displayed 16 screens.
O. Is specified to copy and delete. That is,
In step S130, ERASE LED, COPY L
Flash ED. In step S131, the subroutine "frame No. selection" is called.

A flowchart of the above-mentioned subroutine "frame No. selection" is shown in FIG.
SW16 for indicating the direction for moving the selected frame at 35
It is checked if the s to 16v is turned on, and if it is turned on, in step S239, the corresponding frame number NO. Is displayed in red on 16 screens. Then, in step S236, START is started.
Check that SW16h is on. If it is on, the process proceeds to steps S240 and 241 to specify the designated frame number. Is fixed in red and blinked, and the above frame No. Is registered in RAM. Then, in step S237, the COPY SW1
6a or ERASE SW 16d is turned on. If it is on, this routine ends.

The frame No. of step S131. After the selection is completed, in steps S132 and 134 of FIG.
Check whether PY SW16a or ERASE SW16d is on. If the COPY SW 16a is on, the subroutine "copy" is called at step S133, and if the ERASE SW 16d is on, the subroutine "erase" is called at step S135.

The above subroutine "copy" processing is shown in FIG.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. This file is copied, and this process ends. The subroutine "erase" processing is performed by the RAM registered frame No. as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Only the file data of is deleted and this routine ends.

After the processing of the subroutine of steps S133 and 135, STO is performed at step S136 of FIG.
The P mode processing is performed, and the process returns to step S2 of the main routine of FIG. 3 via the connecting portion "B10".

Next, the subroutine "INT" in FIG.
FIG. 24 shows a flow chart of FIG. 24 regarding the "REC operation" step S152, the step S74 during the copying process below the connection portion "B5" in FIG. 6, and the subroutine "record" process called during the normal recording operation. explain. In the subroutine "record" processing,
The recorded directory is automatically selected. That is,
There are first and second recording modes as recording modes.
The recording mode is a recording mode in which unrecorded directories are searched, including directories that have been deleted so far, and the directory with the smallest directory number is specified, and the directories can be used without waste. The second recording mode is a recording mode in which a directory after the directory number of a directory in which image data has been recorded or erased so far is designated, and the erased directory becomes useless, but in the sequence of recording progress. This is a process capable of performing the compliant recording.

The flag R1 is applied as a means for selecting the first and second recording modes. For example, the value of the flag R1 is stored in the recording medium, and the recording mode is specified by reading the value. As a modification of the designation of the recording mode, following the menu screen G1 of FIG. 29, the display screen for selecting the recording mode is used as a monitor screen, and while observing the screen, the flag R1 of the flag R1 is operated by a switch operation. The recording mode may be designated by changing the value.

The subroutine "record" processing will be described in detail. First, in step S218 of FIG. 24, a subroutine "search for empty directory number" for searching in which directory of the recording medium to record is called. . In this subroutine, as shown in FIG. 25, the flag R1 is checked in step S246,
If the value is 1, the process proceeds to step S247, and the subroutine "vacant directory search 1" for searching a directory to be recorded is called in the first recording mode. If the value of the flag R1 is 0, the flow advances to step S248 to call a subroutine "vacant directory search 2" for searching a directory to be recorded in the second recording mode.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 26, the above-mentioned subroutine "vacant directory search 1" is executed in step S251, in which the designated directory NO. (RN) is set to the value 1. Then, step S252
Check whether it is recorded in the (RN) th directory. Then, if it is determined that the data is not recorded, the process proceeds to step S253, and the empty directory No. Is set to (RN) and this routine is finished. If the directory is recorded in the (RN) th directory in the check in step S252, the process jumps to step S254.

In step S254, the value of (RN) is incremented, and the flow advances to step S255 to match the value of (RN) with the maximum recordable frame number of the recording medium, that is, the maximum directory entry number RNmax. I will check. If they do not match, step S252
Return to. If they match, the process proceeds to steps S256 and 257, it is determined that there is no empty directory, and "CARD F
"ULL" is displayed and this routine ends.

Further, the above-mentioned subroutine "vacant directory search 2" is executed as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
In step S261, the designated directory NO. (RN) is set to the maximum directory number RNmax. Then, in step S262, it is checked whether or not it is recorded in the (RN) th directory. If it is determined that it is recorded, steps S263 and S26
Go to step 4 and judge that there is no free directory,
"FULL" is displayed and this routine ends. If it is determined in step S262 that the file is not recorded in the (RN) th directory, step S2
Proceed to 65.

In step S265, the value of (RN) is incremented, the process proceeds to step S266, and the above (R
N) Check if recorded in the th directory. If it is determined that the recording has been performed, it is determined that the (RN) th directory has been recorded, and the process jumps to step S267. Then, (RN) +1 is designated as the free directory number, and this routine is ended.

If it is determined in step S266 that there is no recording, the process proceeds to step S268, where (R
Check if the value of N) is 1. If the value is 1, all directories are checked, but it is determined that all are not recorded, and the directory number (RN)
Is set to 1 and the present routine ends. If the value of (RN) is not 1, the process returns to step S265.

Following step S218 of the subroutine "record" processing of FIG. 24, step S219 is executed, and the subroutine "file name automatic generation" is called. FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the subroutine "automatic file name generation". This routine is a routine that is processed by the means for assigning a file name built in the recording / reproducing control unit 14, and makes it impossible to arbitrarily set a part of the file name and automatically set that part. , File name generation processing that allows other parts to be arbitrarily set.

In step S282 of FIG. 28, the first digit from the left of the file name is designated by a character set by the device, for example, A. This character setting can also be set on the monitor screen G7 shown in FIG. That is,
In this case, the first line is displayed in red on the monitor screen G7,
The first digit is set by changing the portion A to B, C or the like.

In step S283, the value of the file serial number (RM) stored in the EEPROM 14e, for example, 0063, is set at the second to fifth digits from the left. In step S284, the file serial number (R
Increment the value of M). Step S284
In step S285, the sixth digit from the left-
The number of the recording directory automatically designated, for example, 036 is set in the eighth digit. Then, step S2
At 86, the characters designated at steps S282-S285 are combined and set in the file name. For example, the file name in the above case is A0063036. It will be J6I. The J6I is a subordinate name which is an extension of the file name, and in the apparatus of this embodiment, the image data file has the subordinate name J6I.

As described above, in the subroutine "automatic file name generation 1", a part of the file name includes a directory number, which is a directory to which the file itself corresponds. Add the directory number to part of the file name. Therefore, the operator does not need to rename the file, and the problem that the file with the same name is deleted is eliminated.

Further, according to the above-mentioned subroutine "automatic file name generation 1", even if there are a plurality of devices of the same type, each device is distinguished by the character of the first digit, and therefore confusion occurs between the devices. Absent. Further, since the file serial number corresponds to a part of the file name and is stored and managed in the EEPROM 14e and includes the file serial number, duplication of the number does not occur within a range of 4 digits even if the medium is exchanged. Therefore, there is no need to rename the file name when copying the image data, files with the same name do not overlap, and the image data with the same file name is erased.

Incidentally, for the file serial number (RM), data obtained by processing the value of year / month / day / hour / minute / second may be used separately. The file serial number is the same as that shown in FIG.
In the display state of the monitor screen G7 of No. 6, it is possible to set the second line to the red display state and reset to the value 0.

The data of the EEPROM 14e used in step S283 of the flow chart of FIG. 28 is duplicated with the number already recorded in the medium by checking the file name of the medium at power-on or when the medium is loaded. You may confirm not to do it. In this case, when it is confirmed that there is duplication, the increment of this part is continued until a value that does not overlap. By processing in this way, duplication can be avoided even if the file name is changed in another device.

Further, the data of the EEPROM 14e and the directory number are not necessarily limited to the numbers 0 to 9, and may be characters such as A to Z or other symbols. Alternatively, a combination of two or more numbers may be used.

Next, the display of the remaining capacity of the recording medium will be described. The remaining capacity is displayed on the monitor by operating the DISP SW 16w. FIG. 37 shows the recorded
Also, the remaining capacity is indicated by the number of screens (PIC) and the number of kilobytes (K
This is the monitor screen G8 shown in B). In the figure, "USE
“D” indicates the recorded amount, and “REST” indicates the remaining capacity. As the PIC number of “REST”, the smaller value of (remaining capacity / capacity per sheet for each mode) and the remaining number of directory entries is applied. In addition, all capacities are set in cluster units, and those used even in a part of the cluster are treated as unusable. When the compression mode is variable length, the PIC number of "REST" is not displayed.

Next, the setting of the compression mode will be described. When setting the compression mode, the monitor screen G7 of FIG. 36 is displayed and the third line "COMPRESS MODE" is displayed.
"E" is selected and designated from the four modes shown in FIG. That is, the normal size of fixed mode 1 (NORMAL
SIZE), fixed mode 2 economy size (ECON
OMY SIZE), uncompressed mode (NO COMP
RESS. ), Variable mode (CONSTANT QUA
LITY) 4 modes are specified. When the above 4 modes are specified, LED17 is selected according to each mode.
a, 17b, 17c and 17d are turned on.

Next, the power supply section of this apparatus will be described.
In the power supply unit, as the applicable battery 25, six manganese batteries having a rated voltage of 1.5 V are normally connected in series in the battery housing unit to form a DC 9 V power supply unit on the regulator input side. As the battery for substitution, for example, five lithium batteries having a rated voltage of 1.8 V can be used. In this case, one of the battery-like conductors 27 shown in FIG. 39 is used as a dummy battery. A power supply unit that can be installed. Also in this case, since five 1.8V batteries are connected in series, the regulator input side becomes a DC9V power supply unit.

The battery-like conductor 27 includes a first conductor portion 27a corresponding to the positive electrode terminal of the battery and a second conductor portion 27a corresponding to the negative electrode terminal of the battery substantially brought into conduction with the first conductor portion. And a conductor part of. Therefore, when a battery of other specifications is applied, for example, when a lithium battery is applied, by connecting five lithium batteries and one battery-like conductor 27 in series, the supply voltage is 6 It becomes almost equal to the supply voltage in the state where the pieces are connected in series,
Malfunctions due to excess or deficiency of voltage and damage to circuits and the like are prevented.

As described above, in the information handling apparatus of the present invention, when the information handling apparatus is switched to the operating state, at that time, the recording medium loading section in which the recording medium is currently loaded is present. In this case, the recording medium loading unit is preferentially selected to be in an operable state, and if there is no loading unit loaded with the recording medium, the recording medium loading unit stored in the operation history storage unit of the loading unit. Is set to the operable state, the recording medium mounting portion, which is considered to be most used, is activated, and it is possible to reduce the troublesome operation of the user to select the mounting portion.
