The user can select " the importing automatically " or " manually importing " on " introduction method selection picture ".When having selected " importing automatically " (being among the step S13), file imports unit 41 files of accumulation in the file in the external device (ED) and the multimedia server 11 is compared, and selects as yet the not multimedia file (step S14) of importing automatically.On the other hand, when having selected " manually importing " (among the step S13 not), file imports the tabulation (step S15) that unit 41 shows the multimedia file in the external device (ED)s, so the user can freely select the file (step S16) of hope importing.
When having selected the importing file destination thus, display reproduction imports and selects picture in order.Importing on the model selection picture, the user both can select wherein to carry out when reproducing content and import " the reproducing the importing pattern " of handling, and also can select wherein only to carry out when not reproducing content to import " conventional importing pattern " (the step S17 to S19) that handles.Begin to import multimedia file then.In reproducing the importing pattern, in the multimedia rendering file, carry out to import and handle (step S18).In routine importing pattern, do not reproduce file, only carry out to import and handle (step S19), and show that on display expression imports the progress bar of progress status.
When having finished the importing of multimedia file, create new file (step S20) then, and show " file is provided with picture " (the step S21) that is used to be provided with file.The user can be pressed from both sides " Folder Name " and " icon image " (the step S22 to S25) that is provided with on the picture by select File
Fig. 9 shows the synoptic diagram that file in first embodiment is provided with an example of picture.
As shown in Figure 9, file is provided with picture demonstration " original title " 91, " according to the Folder List in month " 92, " tabulation of All Files folder " 93 and " icon image " 94." original title " 91 is default Folder Name.For default Folder Name, adopt file name whole or a part of of multimedia file, and, when having a plurality of multimedia file, adopt the header file title.Usually, externally device is created the moment (when taking pictures) of multimedia file, and the predetermined code that will comprise date created usually is as file name.With this code former state be set to default file folder title.Should be appreciated that in Fig. 9 the date created that imports file is on July 29th, 2008.
When the user wishes to change into Folder Name more directly perceived and during the title that is more readily understood, the user can be pressed from both sides title (step S23) by select File from " according to the Folder List in month " 92 or from " tabulation of All Files folder " 93, perhaps click " character input " button 96, calling software keyboard, thereby can pass through the direct import folders title of software keyboard (step S24).Describe modification below in detail to Folder Name.
Can from " according to the Folder List in month " 92, press from both sides title by select File.Provide Folder List 92 based on database shown in Figure 7 according to month.On Folder List 92, show the glue file folder title that is associated with " month " of the date created that imports file according to month.In Fig. 9, the date created that imports file is " on July 29th, 2008 ", therefore shows activity and the incident that is associated with July, that is, and and " summer vacation ", " sea ", " swimming pool " and " mountain ".The user can be from selecting glue file folder title here.In Fig. 9, cursor 95 was arranged on " summer vacation ".Yet,, can select glue file folder title arbitrarily when user's remote controller 26 during with moving cursor 95.
Also can from " tabulation of All Files folder " 93, press from both sides title by select File.Provide All Files folder tabulation 93 based on database shown in Figure 6.In All Files folder tabulation 93, with the date created that imports file irrespectively, for example the order according to the Japanese syllabary shows all glue files folder titles that are registered in the database.In Fig. 9, show activity (for example " athletic meeting " and " New Year ") that belongs to the season that is different from July and the activity (for example " rural area " and " hot spring ") that has nothing to do with season.The user can be from wherein selecting glue file folder title.May be difficult to Folder List 92 and All Files folder tabulation 93 according to month are included on the picture.Therefore, preparation scroll bar 97 shows suitable tabulation when mobile scroll bar 97.
The icon image 94 of the glue file folder title that shows current selection on the picture 90 is set at file.Provide icon image 94 from database shown in Figure 6.In Fig. 9, selected " summer vacation ", therefore show the icon image (straw hat and butterfly net) that can recall summer vacation.Under this situation, when remote controller changed glue file folder title, icon image changed thereupon together.
As mentioned above, the relation between glue file folder title and the icon image is also nonessential to be one to one, has such situation: a plurality of icon images are associated with a glue file folder title.In these cases, in the time of the clickable icon image, icon image changes in order, can select another icon image then.
User oneself also can come the import folders title by software keyboard, rather than selects from " according to Folder List in month " 92 or " tabulation of All Files folder " 93.For example, when will " summer vacation " be chosen as glue file folder title and show clicked " character input " button 96 under the state of its icon image in, the software for display keyboard.When the user had imported any Folder Name, the Folder Name of input became the Folder Name of the destination folder that imports file, and the icon image (straw hat and butterfly net) (step S25) identical with the icon image in " summer vacation " is set.
Therefore, after the setting of having finished " Folder Name " and " icon image ", a plurality of multimedia files are divided into groups.The destination folder that imports file is associated with " Folder Name " and " icon image ", and therefore, when later user wished to reproduce this multimedia file, the user can be used as key word to find the file of wanting fast with this information.
