Abstract

Provided is a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus recording moving image data being input to a recording medium in a moving image photographing mode. The method includes creating a moving image file in the recording medium and storing the moving image data being input in the moving image file when a first signal is generated by a first button of the digital photographing apparatus pressed, stopping storing of the moving image data being input when the first signal is generated by a second button of the digital photographing apparatus pressed by the user, continuing to store the moving image data being input in the moving image file when a second signal is generated by the second button pressed by the user, and stopping storing of the moving image data being input and completing the moving image file when the second signal is generated by the first button pressed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a microphone unit to generate an audio electrical signal; and
one or more processors configured to:
generate audio data from the audio electrical signal;
create an audio file; and
store the generated audio data in the audio file by:
if a first input is detected, starting recording the audio data;
if a second input is detected while the audio data is being recorded, pausing the recording of the audio data;
if a third input is detected while the recording of the audio data is paused, continuing the recording of the audio data;
if a fourth input is detected while the audio data is being recorded by the first input or the third input, completing the audio file; and
if the fourth input is detected while the recording of the audio data is paused by the second input, completing the audio file;

wherein the fourth input corresponds to a single button press.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second input and the fourth input are generated by separate input units.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein each of the input units are buttons.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the third input and the fourth input are generated by separate input units.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein each of the input units are buttons.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor and algorithms consecutively reproduce the audio data in the audio file which has been stored including sounds recorded in at least two different time frames.

7. An electronic device, comprising:
a microphone unit to generate an audio electrical signal;
one or more processors configured to:
generate audio data from the audio electrical signal; and
store the generated audio data in an audio file by:
if a first input is detected while the audio data is not being recorded, start recording the audio data;
if a second input is detected while the audio data is being recorded, pause the recording of the audio data;
if a third input is detected while the recording of the audio data is paused, continue the recording of the audio data;
if only one time of a fourth input is detected while the audio data is being recorded by the first input or the third input comprising
if the fourth input has not previously been input to the device and the fourth input corresponds to a single button press, then stop the recording of the audio data, and complete the audio file; and
if only one time of the fourth input is detected while the recording of the audio data is paused by the second input but before the audio file has been completed, complete the audio file.
