Reference numeral 02 is an optical code reading means for reading the reproduction control information.

The reproduction control means 110 stores the reproduction control information received by the reproduction control information receiving means 111 in the reproduction control information storage means 113, and records it by the reading means 112 based on the reproduction procedure described in the reproduction control information. One piece of photograph data (hereinafter referred to as a reproduction element) is sequentially read from the medium 115 and displayed on the display unit 114.

In this way, the user edits the reproduction procedure of the photographic data recorded on the information recording medium by using the remote controller in advance and records it in the reproduction control information storage means of the remote controller even in a place where there is no reproducing apparatus. You can When it is necessary to perform the same reproduction procedure many times, automatic reproduction can be performed by using the reproduction procedure information recorded in the remote controller, so that the labor of inputting the same procedure many times can be saved.

FIG. 2 shows the content of the reproduction control information 107. The reproduction control information includes a "data reproduction command" that indicates the start address where the data to be reproduced is recorded, and a "reproduction procedure control command" that defines the flow of the reproduction procedure such as "repeat" and "display time". . "Data playback command",
A procedure of a reproduction procedure such as a "reproduction procedure control instruction" is referred to as a reproduction control instruction (hereinafter referred to as a step), and reproduction procedure information including at least one reproduction control instruction is referred to as a sequence hereinafter.

FIG. 2 (1) illustrates the numerical structure of the bar code indicating the reproduction control command 1 step. The reproduction control command is composed of a header composed of two-digit numerical information and a parameter having a different number of digits depending on the contents of the header.

FIG. 2 (1) (a) is a "reproduction procedure control command" indicating a sequence identifier. The two-digit bar code header "00", the two-digit bar code sequence number, and the sequence name within 8 characters. Composed of. In this embodiment, only katakana characters are used as input characters. A single character can be indicated by a 2-digit barcode. Therefore, the sequence is composed of a 2-digit bar code header, a 2-digit sequence number, a 16-digit (8-character) sequence name, and a total barcode of 20 digits.

2 (1) (b) shows a "data reproduction command".
The barcode consists of a 2-digit header "01", a start address where the data to be reproduced is recorded at 6 digits, and a playback element name within 8 characters (16 digits at the barcode), for a total of 24 digits. It

FIG. 2 (1) (c) is a "reproduction procedure control command" indicating "display time", which is composed of a header "02" and a 6-digit display time (unit: second) for a total of 8 digits. .

2 (1) (d) is a "reproduction procedure control command" indicating "repetition", which includes a header "03", a 2-digit start step number, a 2-digit end step number, and a 2-digit repetition. It consists of 8 digits in total. Setting "0" to the number of repetitions indicates that the repetition is infinite. In this case, the "stop" button 505 (see FIG.
Press () to stop playback.

FIG. 2 (1) (e) shows "EOSequence (E
nd Of Sequence (end of sequence) ", which is composed of a header" 04 ". In the case of the header "04", there is no parameter following this.

FIG. 2 (2) shows an example of a sequence named "Spring Garden" edited by combining the steps of FIG. 2 (1). Step 1 indicates that the header is "00", which is a sequence identifier, and the parameter is "01 Harnoniwa", which is a sequence number 1 and is a sequence named "Spring Garden". Step 2 is a step showing repetition because the header is "03", and shows that steps 3 to 5 are repeated twice. Step 3 is
Since the header is "02", it indicates that the subsequent reproduction data is displayed at 3 second intervals in the step of indicating the display time. Steps 4 and 5 show the reproduction data because the header is "01", and indicate that the picture data of "Agehacho" recorded at the address 100 and the picture data of "tulip" recorded at the address 400 are reproduced. . Step 6 is also a step for indicating the display time because the header is "02", and indicates that the photo data of "Clover" recorded at the subsequent address 700 is reproduced for 2 seconds.

Therefore, when the sequence "Spring garden" is reproduced, "Agehacho" and "Tulip" are reproduced twice at 3 second intervals, and then "Clover" is reproduced for 2 seconds.

FIG. 2C is a diagram for explaining the data amount of the reproduction control information. It has a 4-bit data amount indicating the numerical value of one digit of the barcode 0-9. In this embodiment, the maximum number of steps per sequence is 50. In this case, since the maximum barcode is 24 digits per step, the maximum is 600 bytes per sequence.

The reproducing apparatus identifies in the header whether the received reproduction control command is a "data reproduction command" or a "reproduction procedure control command". In the case of "data playback command",
The reproduction element recorded at the subsequent address is read out, and in the case of the "reproduction procedure control command", reproduction control based on the subsequent numerical value is performed.

By using only Katakana syllabary as the input characters, the number of characters is within 2 digits, and one character can be represented by 2 digits of the barcode.

When the user sets the number of repetitions to "0", the reproducing device repeats sequence reproduction indefinitely. Therefore, for example, at a store demonstration or exhibition, the reproducing device does not have to be operated by the reproducing device. It can be displayed automatically.

FIG. 3 shows the stored contents of the edited contents storage means 103.

The edit content storage means is composed of two blocks. FIG. 3 (1) is a sequence edit block, and FIG. 3 (2).
Indicates a sequence storage block. The sequence that has been edited in the sequence edit block is assigned a sequence number and stored in the sequence storage block.

FIG. 3 (2) (a) shows a format of a sequence storage block, which starts with sequence reference information and a sequence identifier, and is followed by a series of reproduction control commands, "EOSeque".
The sequence reference information stores the date and time of the last reference. The sequence number indicates the serial number of the stored edited sequence.

FIGS. 3B and 3B show an example of storing the sequence storage block. In step 1 of the first sequence,
The sequence identifier indicating the sequence name "Spring garden" is stored in step 1 of the second sequence, and the sequence identifier indicating the sequence name "Autumn garden" is stored. "April 1, 1994
The date when the "Sun" and "Autumn Garden" were last edited was "1993".
It is understood that it is "November 21,".

As the editing content storage means, for example, SRA
A recording means, such as M or EEPROM, that retains the recorded contents even when the power is turned off is used.

As shown in the explanation of FIG. 2 (3), since one sequence has a maximum of 600 Byte, for example, 16K
Using B SRAM, 25 sequences, 64 KB S
The RAM can store 100 sequences of data. If there is not enough space to store the edit data, the sequence stored in the edit content storage means is determined by the user to be unnecessary, or the edit device selects it by referring to the sequence selection flag. The reproduced sequence is output to the reproduction control information output means 10
In step 4, it is output as the reproduction control information 108 to open the storage capacity of the editing content storage means. The remaining capacity of the data for storing the edited contents is the number of recorded sequences and the SR to be used.
The maximum number of sequential recordings, which depends on the capacity of the AM, is checked against the judgment.

The reproduction control information output means 104 outputs the stored content of the edited content storage means 103. In some cases, a list of sequence names of the sequences stored in the edited content storage means is output, and in other cases, a list of reproduction control commands included in one sequence is output. When the output data becomes necessary again, it is input by the reproduction control information input means 107 and used.

In order to reduce the storage capacity of the edited content storage means by recording the sequence reference information, the LR
Using the U (Least Recent Unreferenced) method,
It is used as a reference when executing the sequence selection for preferential erasing.

By using the recording means for retaining the recorded contents even when the power is turned off, such as SRAM, as the edited contents storing means, the input data is not lost every time the power of the editing apparatus is turned off Can be used.

Further, by recording the sequence identifier, it becomes easy to identify the sequence name when printing the sequence name list.

Next, the recorded contents of the CD-ROM and the enclosed materials will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 (1) is a diagram showing the correspondence between the reproduction element, which is the recorded content of the CD-ROM, and the start address in which the reproduction element is recorded. For example, the drawing shows a state in which "tulip", "agehacho", and "clover" are recorded at addresses "100", "400", and "700", respectively.
