The camera includes a controller that, prior to image data transmission, receives remaining capacity data of the image data memory in a receiver side camera and displays an image number corresponding to the remaining capacity of the receiver side camera. When plural receiver side cameras are available, the controller, prior to image data transmission, receives the remaining capacity data of the image data memory in the plurality of receiver side cameras and displays a number of sendable images corresponding to the remaining capacity for each of the plurality of receiver side cameras. | 08-11-2011 |
20120288256 | IMAGE REPRODUCTION APPARATUS - An image reproduction apparatus sequences and reproduces multiple moving pictures while eliminating linking and editing operations. A list display unit lists on a screen thumbnails corresponding to each of multiple moving pictures recorded on recording media. A selection unit selects and orders, according to selection operations, multiple thumbnails displayed by the list display unit. Based on the multiple thumbnails selected and ordered by the selection unit, a reproduction unit reproduces the moving pictures corresponding to each of the thumbnails by reproducing them in that order. A display displays moving pictures sequenced in order by the reproduction unit on a screen. | 11-15-2012 |

20120159051 | MEMORY SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory, a resource managing unit that reclaims resources associated with the non-volatile memory and increases the resources, when the usage of the resources associated with the non-volatile memory reaches the predetermined amount, a transmission rate setting unit that calculates a setting value of the transmission rate to receive the write data from a host device, and a transmission control unit that receives the write data from the host device and transmits the received write data to the non-volatile memory. The transmission rate setting unit calculates a small setting value when the usage of the resources associated with the non-volatile memory increases. The transmission control unit executes the reception of the write data from the host device at the transmission rate of the setting value, while the resource managing unit reclaims the resources. | 06-21-2012 |
20120159072 | MEMORY SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a chip including a cell array and first and second caches configured to hold data read out from the cell array; an interface configured to manage a first and a second addresses; a controller configured to issue a readout request to the interface; and a buffer configured to hold the data from the chip. The interface transfers the data in the first cache to the buffer without reading out the data from the cell array if the readout address matches the first address, transfers the data in the second cache to the buffer without reading out the data from the cell array if the readout address matches the second address, and reads out the data from the cell array and transfers the data to the buffer if the readout address does not match either one of the first or second address. | 06-21-2012 |
20120278664 | MEMORY SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a memory system has a data transfer device which includes a first command generating unit, a second command generating unit, a first storage unit, a second storage unit, and a nonvolatile memory managing unit. The first command generator generates a first command for reading out data from a nonvolatile memory to a host apparatus. The second command generator generates a second command for internal processing of the memory system associated with a temporary memory and the nonvolatile memory. The first memory has a queue structure configured to store the first command. The second memory has a queue structure configured to store the second command. The memory manager is configured to read out the first command stored in the first memory in priority to the second command stored in the second memory and to transmit read-out command to the nonvolatile memory. | 11-01-2012 |
20130212319 | MEMORY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MEMORY SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a controller reads out the non-volatile address management information required to execute one of the read commands into an address information cache and retrieves data from the nonvolatile memory according to the volatile address management information stored in the address information cache. In addition, the controller among the read commands stored in the command queue, preferentially executes the read command whose logical addresses are all found in the volatile address management information. | 08-15-2013 |
20150026509 | STORAGE DEVICE HAVING A DATA STREAM CONVERTER - According to one embodiment, a storage device has a plurality of memory modules and a memory controller. The memory controller has a first unit configured to receive data to be stored in the memory modules from a host device as a write data stream and transmit data read from the memory modules to the host device as a read data stream, a second unit having a plurality of subunits, each of which is configured to write data in one of the memory modules corresponding to the subunit and read data from one of the memory modules corresponding to the subunit, and a data stream converter configured to parallelize the write data stream into a plurality of data blocks each of which is to be stored in one of the memory modules and to serialize a plurality of data blocks read from the memory modules into the read data stream. | 01-22-2015 |
