Abstract

A recording control apparatus includes a recording unit to record a moving image, a stop instruction unit to instruct the recording unit to stop, and a control unit. Based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to automatically stop recording of a moving image and display a receiving screen that receives an instruction for a moving image recorded most recently on a display. When a stop instruction is issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for the predetermined time, the control unit performs control to stop the recording of the moving image and shift to a recording standby screen without displaying the receiving screen on the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A recording control apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor to perform operations of the following:
a recording unit configured to perform control to record a moving image,
a stop instruction unit configured to instruct the recording unit to stop, and
a control unit configured to perform control,
wherein, based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to automatically stop recording of a moving image and display a receiving screen that receives an instruction for a moving image recorded most recently on a display, and
wherein, when a stop instruction is issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for the predetermined time, the control unit performs control to stop the recording of the moving image and shift to a recording standby screen without displaying the receiving screen on the display.

2. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when the control unit stops the recording of the moving image according to the stop instruction issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to record the moving image, whose recording is stopped, as an independent moving image file.

3. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when the stop instruction is issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to stop the recording of the moving image regardless of a boundary between GOP units.

4. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one processor further is to perform operations of a recording instruction unit configured to instruct the recording unit to start recording of a moving image, and
wherein the stop instruction unit is the same operation member as the recording instruction unit.

5. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when the control unit automatically stops the recording of the moving image based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to additionally write the moving image recorded most recently into an additionally writable moving image file.

6. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when the control unit automatically stops the recording of the moving image based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control not to additionally write the moving image recorded most recently into a moving image file that is created according to a stop instruction issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time.

7. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further is to perform operations of a display setting unit configured to set whether or not to display the receiving screen when the recording of the moving image is automatically stopped based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time.

8. The recording control apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, when the display setting unit performs setting not to display the receiving screen when the recording of the moving image is automatically stopped, the control unit performs control to additionally write the moving image recorded most recently into an additionally writable moving image file without displaying the receiving screen.

9. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further is to perform operations of a time setting unit configured to set the predetermine time.

10. The recording control apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the time setting unit sets the predetermined time to time selected by a user or time inputted by the user.

11. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to perform processing selected by a user on the receiving screen.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a recording control apparatus to perform the method according to claim 11 .

13. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when a user instructs deletion of a moving image on the receiving screen, the control unit performs control to delete the moving image recorded most recently.

14. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when a user instructs reproduction of a moving image on the receiving screen, the control unit performs control to reproduce the moving image recorded most recently.

15. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when a user instructs additional write to a moving image file on the receiving screen, the control unit performs control to additionally write the moving image recorded most recently into an additionally writable moving image file.

16. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when a user instructs recording as an independent moving image file on the receiving screen, the control unit performs control to record the moving image recorded most recently as an independent moving image file.

17. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit performs control to receive at least any one of the following: instructions of deletion of the moving image recorded most recently, reproduction of the moving image recorded most recently, additional write to an additionally writable moving image file, and recording as an independent moving image file on the receiving screen.

18. The recording control apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an image sensor configured to capture an image of an object,
wherein the recording unit is configured to perform control to record a moving image captured by the image sensor.

19. A method for a recording control apparatus, the method comprising:
performing control to record a moving image;
instructing stop of the recording of a moving image; and
performing control,
wherein, based on that the recording of the moving image continues for a predetermined time, performing control includes performing control to automatically stop recording of a moving image and display a receiving screen that receives an instruction for a moving image recorded most recently on a display, and
wherein, when a stop instruction is issued before the recording of the moving image continues for the predetermined time, performing control includes performing control to stop the recording of the moving image and shift to a recording standby screen without displaying the receiving screen on the display.
