20080239886 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION - An information processing apparatus for recording data onto a recording medium, includes an access controller for outputting, to a medium-specific controller, record data input from an application and directed to the recording medium. The access controller performs a read-modify-write (RMW) operation by verifying whether one of a record start position and a record end position of the record data input by a logical sector unit from the application is different from a delimitation position of a physical sector as an access unit of the recording medium, acquiring the record data by the physical sector unit and storing the record data onto a memory if one of the record start position and the record end position is different from the delimitation position, updating logical sector data as part of stored physical sector data with the input record data, and outputting the updated physical sector data to the medium-specific controller. | 10-02-2008 |
20090109303 | DATA RECORDING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A data recording apparatus for recording data on a recording medium includes an acceleration detector configured to detect an acceleration which the apparatus is undergoing; a use mode detector configured to detect which one of fixed and non-fixed modes the apparatus is used in; a fall state determination unit configured to determine a fall state of the apparatus by switching fall detection algorithms for detecting a fall of the apparatus on the basis of an acceleration detected by the acceleration detector and the history of acceleration changes in accordance with the detection result by the use mode detector; and a preventive operation controller configured to cause an operation for preventing damage to the recording medium to be performed in accordance with the determination result of the fall state of the apparatus by the fall state determination unit. | 04-30-2009 |
20090198889 | RECORDING APPARATUS, RECORDING METHOD, PROGRAM FOR RECORDING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM THAT STORES PROGRAM FOR RECORDING METHOD - A recording apparatus includes: a type detecting section that detects a type of storage medium; an erase-block size detecting section that detects an erase-block size of the storage medium; a recording section that records desired data to a data area in the storage medium and records management information of the data area to a management area in the storage medium; and a control section that controls the recording section by issuing a command to the recording section, on the basis of results of the detection. Each time a certain amount of data is recorded to the data area, the control section updates the management information in accordance with the recording, and when the storage medium is a storage medium in which recorded data is updated for each erase-block size, the control section increases the certain amount of data according to an increase in the erase-block size. | 08-06-2009 |
20090279874 | Recording device and driving state controlling method - A recording device including: a medium drive section configured to rotation-drive a disk recording medium, and write data to the disk recording medium through a head section; a determining section configured to determine whether the recording device is in a falling state when the medium drive section is in an idle state in which state the disk recording medium is rotation-driven and the head section is off a track; and a controlling section configured to make determination as to the falling state by the determining section when the determining section determines that the recording device is in the falling state, and when the determining section determines that the recording device is not in the falling state, controlling the medium drive section so as to set the medium drive section in an active state in which state the disk recording medium is rotation-driven to be in an accessible state and the head section is on track. | 11-12-2009 |
20090316007 | RECORDING MEDIA CONTROL APPARATUS, RECORDING MEDIA CONTROLLING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A recording media control apparatus is disclosed which includes: a host interface configured to connect recording media to a recording media unit, the recording media being subject to the writing and reading of data thereto and therefrom, the recording media unit incorporating an internal temperature sensor; an access request section configured to make either a data write request or a data read request to the recording media unit; a temperature status determination section configured to request temperature acquisition from the recording media unit in a predetermined cycle and, based on the acquired temperature, to determine temperature status of the recording media; and an access control section configured to transmit a command to the recording media unit via the host interface in response to an access request from the access request section and the temperature acquisition request from the temperature status determination section. | 12-24-2009 |
20100165146 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PICK-UP DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A structure is provided that prevents damage to an HDD and loss of recorded data by prohibiting the hard disk from being shifted to the active state in a state in which there is a problem with an environment. On the basis of detection information of each of sensors such as a fall sensor and a temperature sensor, it is determined whether or not data recording or a playback process utilizing the hard disk can be executed safely. The hard disk is caused to be shifted from being in a suspended state to being in an active state on condition that it is determined that safe data recording or playback is possible, and a data recording and playback process utilizing the hard disk is executed. By using this structure, the hard disk is prevented from being shifted to being in the active state in a state in which there is a problem with the environment, for example, in the case of falling, the case of high temperature or high humidity, or the like, and damage to the HDD and loss of recorded data can be prevented. | 07-01-2010 |
20150077593 | LENS CONTROL APPARATUS, LENS CONTROL METHOD, IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A lens control apparatus includes an operation input unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The operation input unit is configured to accept a user operation. The communication unit is configured to perform communication with an external apparatus. The control unit is configured to perform driving control of a zoom lens in response to a zoom operation accepted by the operation input unit or a zoom control signal received by the communication unit. The control unit is also configured to selectively set a zoom position changing speed for driving control performed in response to the zoom operation and a zoom position changing speed for driving control performed in response to the zoom control signal, the zoom position changing speeds being different from each other. | 03-19-2015 |
20150078138 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, TIME SETTING METHOD, TIME SETTING SYSTEM AND PROGRAM - An electronic device includes a communication unit that performs communication with an external apparatus; a timekeeping unit that performs timekeeping of time; and a control unit, after completion of a connection with the external apparatus using the communication unit, updates time of the timekeeping unit using time information when being in a state where time can be set by obtaining the time information from the external apparatus. | 03-19-2015 |
