Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to realize an imaging device and recording control system in which the usability thereof can be improved dramatically. In an imaging device configured to output imaging data that is obtained as a result of imaging of an object, and a recording control system, the imaging device comprises a control means for recognizing a controlled state of an external recording device when a communication is enabled with the recording device through a communication means conforming to a predetermined transmission method and an input means for allowing the recording device to execute an application needed for a recording operation obtained by controlling the recording device, and the recording device records the imaging data obtained through the communication means when the application is executed by means of the input means.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An imaging device configured to output imaging data that is obtained by imaging of an object, the imaging device comprising: control means for recognizing a controlled state of an external recording device when a communication is enabled with the recording device through communication means conforming to a predetermined transmission method; and input means for allowing the recording device to execute an application needed for a recording operation obtained by controlling the recording device, wherein the recording device records the imaging data that has been obtained through the communication means based on the application executed by means of the input means.
