Recording apparatus, imaging and recording apparatus, recording method, and program
Disclosed herein is a recording apparatus including: an input section configured to input or generate main data and added data thereof; and a recording control section configured such that when the main data and the added data input or generated by the input section have each reached a predetermined data amount, the recording control section temporarily stores the main data and the added data in units of the predetermined data amount, that when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, the recording control section transfers the temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto, and that when the amount of the temporarily stored data is less than that of the specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, the recording control section transfers the temporarily stored data to the recording media for recording thereto.
1. A recording apparatus comprising:
an input section configured to input or generate main data and added data thereof; and
a recording control section configured such that when said main data and said added data input or generated by said input section have each reached a predetermined data amount, said recording control section temporarily stores said main data and said added data in units of said predetermined data amount, that when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, said recording control section transfers said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto, and that when the amount of said temporarily stored data is less than that of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, said recording control section also transfers said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
2. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when recording less than said specific write data unit of said temporarily stored data, said recording control section additionally writes to said recording media identification data identifying the number of times less than said specific write data unit of data has been written for an update.
3. The recording apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, when less than said specific write data unit of data is written continuously a plurality of times, said recording control section uses at least two recording regions alternately for the write operations on said recording media.
4. The recording apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, when the writing of said specific write, data unit of data is completed, said recording control section deletes the recorded data less than the amount of said specific write data unit.
5. An imaging and recording apparatus comprising:
an imaging section configured to acquire video data through imaging; and
a recording control section configured such that when said video data and added data thereof have each reached a predetermined data amount, said recording control section temporarily stores said video data and said added data in units of said predetermined data amount; that when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, said recording control section transfers said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto; and that when said temporarily stored data is less than the amount of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, said recording control section also transfers said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
6. The imaging and recording apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, when recording less than said specific write data unit of said temporarily stored data, said recording control section additionally writes to said recording media identification data identifying the number of times less than said specific write data unit of data has been written for an update.
7. The imaging and recording apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, when less than said specific write data unit of data is written continuously a plurality of times, said recording control section uses at least two recording regions alternately for the write operations on said recording media.
8. The imaging and recording apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, when the writing of said specific write data unit of data is completed, said recording control section deletes the recorded data less than the amount of said specific write data unit.
9. A recording method comprising the steps of:
when input or generated main data and added data thereof have each reached a predetermined data amount, temporarily storing the main data and the added data in units of said predetermined data amount;
when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, transferring said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto; and
when said temporarily stored data is less than the amount of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, also transferring said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program executable by an information processing apparatus to perform the steps of:
when input or generated main data and added data thereof have each reached a predetermined data amount, temporarily storing the main data and the added data in units of said predetermined data amount;
when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, transferring said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto; and
when said temporarily stored data is less than the amount of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, also transferring said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
11. A recording apparatus comprising:
input means for inputting or generate main data and added data thereof; and
recording control means configured such that when said main data and said added data input or generated by said input means have each reached a predetermined data amount, said recording control means temporarily stores said main data and said added data in units of said predetermined data amount, that when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, said recording control means transfers said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto, and that when the amount of said temporarily stored data is less than that of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, said recording control means also transfers said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
12. An imaging and recording apparatus comprising:
imaging means for acquiring video data through imaging; and
recording control means configured such that when said video data and added data thereof have each reached a predetermined data amount, said recording control means temporarily stores said video data and said added data in units of said predetermined data amount; that when the sum of the temporarily stored data has reached a specific write data unit, said recording control means transfers said temporarily stored data to recording media for recording thereto; and that when said temporarily stored data is less than the amount of said specific write data unit upon elapse of a predetermined time period since the most recent recording, said recording control means also transfers said temporarily stored data to said recording media for recording thereto.
