Abstract
Abstract In a programmed reproduction system provided for a still picture recording/reproduction device in accordance with the present invention, a plurality of groups of data are recorded on a recording disk by a disk recording/reproduction means; a program indicating the sequence of reproduction of the plurality of groups of data is recorded in a prescribed recording position on the recording disk by the disk recording/reproduction means; the program recorded in the prescribed recording position is read by the disk recording/reproduction means in response to a command; and still pictures are reproduced from the plurality of groups of data in the sequence of reproduction indicated by the read program. For that reason, a manual operation for inputting the program does not need to be performed after the program is recorded on the disk. The operating property of the still picture recording/reproduction device is thus improved.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A programmed reproduction system for producing still pictures from picture data on a recorded disk, said system comprising: disk means for storing picture data and program data to be used in producing still pictures, said program data indicating a sequence of reproduction of said picture data; recording/reading means for recording said picture data and program data on said disk means, and for reading said picture data and program data on said disk means, said picture data being read out in accordance with said program data; and picture reproduction means for reproducing still pictures from picture data which is read out from said disk means in accordance with said program data to provide said sequence of reproduction of said picture data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A programmed reproduction system for producing still pictures from picture data on a recorded disk, said system comprising: disk means for storing picture data and program data to be used in producing still pictures, said program data indicating a sequence of reproduction of said picture data; recording/reading means for recording said picture data and program data on said disk means, and for reading said picture data and program data on said disk means, said picture data being read out in accordance with said program data; and picture reproduction means for reproducing still pictures from picture data which is read out from said disk means in accordance with said program data to provide said sequence of reproduction of said picture data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A programmed reproduction system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said picture data is recorded on first predetermined portions of said disk means, and said program data is recorded in second predetermined portions of said disk means.
