Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily retrieve the picture of a recording medium by respectively reducing the plural pictures recorded on the recording medium, disposing to form content pictures, recording on the recording medium, and reproducing and displaying the content picture on a picture displaying means. CONSTITUTION:When a recording button R is pressed, the picture is written on a DRAW type optical disk 5 through an optical disk controller 6. At the same time, the reduced picture is written in a content memory 7. For instance, when the contents of the 25 pictures are stored in the one screen, an address controller 8 is made incremental once of five times both in a main scanning direction and in a sun-scanning direction. The start address in the main scanning and the sun-scanning is shifted according to the sequence of the picture to be written in content memory 7. This content picture is shifted to a video RAM 3, thereby, the content picture can be recognized from a CRT4. This picture is written in the DRAW type optical disk 5 through the optical disk controller 6.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a recorded image reproducing device.

(Prior Art) As a conventional device of this kind, for example, there is one that displays an image taken with an electronic still camera on a CRT or the like.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in this device, the electronic still camera records images one by one on the 709 Beezi Nozuku, so even when playing back, the images must be transferred one by one onto the CRT. For this reason, it was difficult to find where the image I wanted to see was taken, or to confirm when and where it was taken, so I ended up having to take all the pictures. Furthermore, when storing all images on an optical disk or the like, it is necessary to give a name to each image, and in order to call up the images by name, it is necessary to remember the name.

This invention was made to eliminate these conventional drawbacks, and makes it easy to search for information such as when and where an image on a recording medium was taken, and which image is in which position. The object of the present invention is to obtain a recorded image reproducing device.

[Means for solving problems]

The recorded image reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes a table of contents image forming means for forming a table of contents image by reducing and arranging a plurality of images recorded on a recording medium, and recording the table of contents image on the recording medium;
and an image display means for displaying the table of contents image.

(Operation) The table of contents image forming means in the present invention reduces and arranges a plurality of images recorded on a recording medium to form a table of contents image, and records this on the recording medium. If the image is reproduced and displayed on the image display means, it is possible to easily know when and where the image on the recording medium was taken, and where it is located, just by reading the image.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a recorded image reproducing apparatus which is an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a floppy disk that is a recording medium containing images taken with an electronic still camera, 2 is a floppy disk controller that reads and writes to the floppy disk, 3 is a video RAM for temporarily storing images, and 4 5 is a DRAW type optical disk for permanently storing a large amount of video signals, and 6 is a light beam for reading image signals from the optical disk 5 and writing them. A disk controller 7 is a table of contents memory that arranges and stores images obtained by reducing a plurality of images in the video RAM 3, and a numeral 8 is an address controller that gives an address to the table of contents memory 7. Note that the arrows in the figure indicate the flow of image signals.

Next, the operation will be explained. - The image signals sequentially taken out by the floppy disk controller 2 from the floppy disk 1 are sent to the video RA.
It is stored in M3 and displayed as an image through CRT4. When the user wishes to permanently save this image, he presses the record button R on the front of the device shown in FIG. 2, and the image is written to the DRAW type optical disk 5 through the optical disk controller 6. At the same time, the reduced image is written into the table of contents memory 7. At this time, for example, if a table of contents for 25 images is to be stored on one screen, the address controller 8 increments once every five times in both the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction. Then, the start addresses of main scanning and sub-scanning are shifted depending on the number of sheets of the image to be written in the table of contents memory 7. For example, if the image to be written is the second image, it is shifted by one image only in the main scanning direction. If it is the 6th sheet, it is shifted by 1 sheet in the sub-scanning direction, and if it is the 25th sheet, it is shifted by 4 sheets in both the main and sub-scanning directions.
0 In this way, a table of contents image is formed in the table of contents memory 7. By moving this table of contents image to video RAM3,
The table of contents image can be confirmed from the CRT 4 as shown in FIG. This image is displayed in DRAW mode through the optical disk controller 6.
type optical disc 5.

The area for the table of contents image on the floppy disk 1 changes depending on the number of images recorded on the floppy disk 1 and how many of them are reduced and arranged in one image area, but usually , it is convenient during playback if it is placed in the image area of the first image or the first image and the second image.

As described above, in this embodiment, a plurality of images recorded on the floppy disk 1 are reduced and arranged to form at least one table of contents image, and this is recorded on the DRAW type optical disk 5. It can be played back and displayed on CRT4 if necessary. Therefore, just by reading the reproduced table of contents image, you can determine when the image on floppy disk 1 is displayed.
You can easily find out where the photo was taken and where it is located.

In the above embodiment, the CRT 4 was used as the image display means, but a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or a printer such as an LBP may also be used.

Furthermore, a floppy disk may be used instead of the optical disk 5.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily search for information such as when and where an image on a recording medium was taken, and which image is in which position. Effects can be obtained.
