Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A recording control apparatus for controlling recording of images in a recording medium, the apparatus including a recording medium accessing unit that can access the recording medium, the recording medium storing a plurality of reproducible images and a reproduction instruction file containing instruction information including a plurality of file names specifying images to be reproduced, the reproduction instruction file being separate from the plurality of images, the apparatus comprising: an indication section for indicating deletion of an image in accordance with a manual operation whether the indicated image is instructed to be reproduced by said reproduction instruction file or not; and a control section for deleting of the instruction information in the reproduction instruction file corresponding to the image indicated by said indication section to be deleted if the instruction information corresponding to the image is stored in the reproduction instruction file, and for retaining the instruction information corresponding to images that have not been indicated for deletion, wherein said recording medium accessing unit accesses the recording medium in accordance with a manual operation, the recording medium being accessed so as to specify an image to be reproduced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
A recording control apparatus for controlling recording of images in a recording medium, the apparatus including a recording medium accessing unit that can access the recording medium, the recording medium storing a plurality of reproducible images and a reproduction instruction file containing instruction information including a plurality of file names specifying images to be reproduced, the reproduction instruction file being separate from the plurality of images, the apparatus comprising: an indication section for indicating deletion of an image in accordance with a manual operation whether the indicated image is instructed to be reproduced by said reproduction instruction file or not; and a control section for deleting of the instruction information in the reproduction instruction file corresponding to the image indicated by said indication section to be deleted if the instruction information corresponding to the image is stored in the reproduction instruction file, and for retaining the instruction information corresponding to images that have not been indicated for deletion, wherein said recording medium accessing unit accesses the recording medium in accordance with a manual operation, the recording medium being accessed so as to specify an image to be reproduced.
