Abstract

Abstract An image reproducing apparatus includes: an image pick up device which picks up an image recorded on a recording medium; a reproduction designator which designates a reproduction area of the picked up image and sets a reproduction manner of reproducing an image in the reproduction area; a control change amount setter which calculates a change amount of reproduction state of the image every a predetermined period based on the set reproduction manner and sets a control change amount based on the calculated change amount; and a controller which controls the reproduction in such a way that the reproduction state changes at the set control change amount.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
An image reproducing apparatus comprising: a reproducing address area designator which designates a reproducing address area of an image data stored in a memory; and a controller which calculates change differences of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image, sets the calculated change differences to a constant value, and controls the reproducing address area designator so that a reproducing address of the image changes at the constant value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 74 words
An image reproducing apparatus comprising: a reproducing address area designator which designates a reproducing address area of an image data stored in a memory; and a controller which calculates change differences of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image, sets the calculated change differences to a constant value, and controls the reproducing address area designator so that a reproducing address of the image changes at the constant value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the reproducing address area designator to move the reproducing address area of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the reproducing address area designator to change the size of the reproducing address area of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller calculates an address change amount of the reproducing address area in the memory.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image reproducing apparatus outputs an image data to be using a display device.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 74 words
An image reproducing apparatus comprising: a reproducing address area designator for designating a reproducing address area of an image data stored in memory; and a control means for calculating change differences of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image, setting the calculated change differences to a constant value, and controlling the reproducing address area designator so that a reproducing address of the image changes at the constant value.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 74 words
An image reproducing apparatus comprising: a reproducing address area designator for designating a reproducing address area of an image data stored in memory; and a control means for calculating change differences of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image, setting the calculated change differences to a constant value, and controlling the reproducing address area designator so that a reproducing address of the image changes at the constant value.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 32 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the control means controls the reproducing address area designating means to move the reproducing address area of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 35 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the control means controls the reproducing address area designating means to change the size of the reproducing address area of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 26 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the control means calculates an address change amount of the reproducing address area in the memory.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 25 words
The image reproducing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the image reproducing apparatus outputs an image data to be reproduced using a display device.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 68 words
An image processing method for an image reproducing apparatus, comprising the steps of: designating a reproducing address area of an image data stored in a memory; calculating a change difference of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image; setting the calculated change difference to a constant value; and controlling the reproducing address of the image in accordance with the set constant value.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 68 words
An image processing method for an image reproducing apparatus, comprising the steps of: designating a reproducing address area of an image data stored in a memory; calculating a change difference of the address bearing the image per unit time during reproduction of the image; setting the calculated change difference to a constant value; and controlling the reproducing address of the image in accordance with the set constant value.
