Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 176 words
A reproducing system in a still picture recording and reproduction device, comprising: disk recording and reproducing means for selectively recording and reproducing data onto or from a designated recording position of a recording disk; a video memory for storing data including video information, so that data reproduced from said recording disk by said disk recording and reproducing means are written into said memory and then repeatedly read out of said memory so as to be output to perform still picture reproducing in accordance with a user request; means for selecting one of a first quantity and a second, different quantity of data in accordance with said user selection, from the data reproduced from said recording disk by said disk recording and reproducing means so as to be written into said video memory; and means for repeatedly reading out of said video memory said data of the selected quantity in accordance with said user selection, wherein read-out speed and resolution achieved by reading out said first quantity differs from that achieved by reading out said second quantity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 176 words
A reproducing system in a still picture recording and reproduction device, comprising: disk recording and reproducing means for selectively recording and reproducing data onto or from a designated recording position of a recording disk; a video memory for storing data including video information, so that data reproduced from said recording disk by said disk recording and reproducing means are written into said memory and then repeatedly read out of said memory so as to be output to perform still picture reproducing in accordance with a user request; means for selecting one of a first quantity and a second, different quantity of data in accordance with said user selection, from the data reproduced from said recording disk by said disk recording and reproducing means so as to be written into said video memory; and means for repeatedly reading out of said video memory said data of the selected quantity in accordance with said user selection, wherein read-out speed and resolution achieved by reading out said first quantity differs from that achieved by reading out said second quantity.
