Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A still picture filing apparatus comprising: a) still picture preparation means for preparing a plurality of still pictures and adding identification data to each of such still pictures; b) still picture memory means for storing the plural still pictures with the identification data added thereto respectively; c) still-picture transmission data preparation means for preparing, still-picture transmission data indicative of a still picture transmission sequence in accordance with the identification data; d) transmission command signal generation means for generating a transmission command signal to instruct transmission of the still pictures; and e) control means responsive to the transmission command signal outputted from said transmission command signal generation means and reading out the still pictures from said still picture memory means in conformity to the transmission sequence indicated by the still-picture transmission data obtained from said still-picture transmission data preparation means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
A still picture filing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said still picture memory means and said control means mutually transfer the video signal there-between in a signal form based on the D-1 format of a digital video tape recorder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A still picture filing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said still picture memory means comprises a plurality of cascade-connected magneto-optical disk units and a disk controller for controlling said magneto-optical disk units; and said disk controller reads out the still picture from the magneto-optical disk unit conforming with the read signal supplied from said control means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
167 words
A still picture filing apparatus according to claim 1, 2 or 3, further comprising: a) second still picture preparation means for preparing a plurality of still pictures and adding identification data to each of such still pictures; b) second still picture memory means for storing the plural still pictures with the identification data added thereto respectively; c) second still-picture transmission data preparation means for preparing still-picture transmission data indicative of a still picture transmission sequence in accordance with the identification data; d) second transmission command signal generation means for generating a transmission command signal to instruct transmission of the still pictures; and e) second control means connected to said control means in a manner to respond to the transmission command signal outputted from said second transmission command signal generation means, and reading out the still picture from said first or second still picture memory means in conformity to the transmission sequence indicated by the still picture transmission data obtained from said second still-picture transmission data preparation means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A still picture filing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising transfer control means for mutually connecting said control means and said second control means via a wire network.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
