In order to reduce the labor and processing load required during list production and list verification without requiring a specialized reading apparatus, and achieve sufficient identification performance, this management system includes a list storage means that stores a list of objects to be managed, an identification image generating means that detects, from an input image, an identifying part of the objects to be managed and generates the identification image in which the identifying part detected is depicted at a predetermined orientation and size in an image region, an identification image recording means that, when a first image capturing the identifying part of an object to be managed is inputted, records an identification image generated from the first image in the list of objects to be managed as the identification image of a designated identification unit and an identification image verification means that, when a second image capturing the identifying part of an object to be managed is inputted, uses an identification image generated from the second image as a key image, and verifies the key image against respective identification images recorded in the list of objects to be managed.

The present technology relates to a playing apparatus, a playing method, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and a recording medium that allow playing of appropriate HDR videos. A playing apparatus in an aspect of the present technology has a storage unit that has regions for storing a plurality of units of information indicating the state of the playing apparatus including preference information indicating the type of an HDR video to be preferentially played, out of a first HDR video that is essential in including in a content an HDR video as a video in a wider brightness range than a standard brightness range and a second HDR video that is capable of being included in the content. The playing apparatus acquires encoded data of the HDR video to be preferentially played indicated by the preference information, out of encoded data of the first HDR video and encoded data of the second HDR video, and decodes the acquired encoded data. The present technology is applicable to Blu-ray disc players.

An image recording apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a recording unit configured to record one of still image data and video image data captured by the image capturing unit on a storage medium in the form of an image file, a generating unit configured to generate a management file used for managing the image file recorded on the storage medium, and a registering unit configured to register an identifier of the image file recorded on the storage medium in the management file on a capture date basis in the order of capture time.

A video recording apparatus with a pre-event circulation recording function is provided. A limitation on memory capacity may be removed by recording a pre-event video directly on a nonvolatile storage medium, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), without using a buffer according to a circulation recording method during pre-event recording performed to record videos before and after an event occurs.

The present technology relates to a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a recording medium, which are capable of displaying closed captions having a wide dynamic range of luminance at appropriate brightness. HDR closed captions serving as closed captions of a second luminance range that is different from and larger than a first luminance range, tone_mapping_info including HDR information indicating characteristics of luminance of the HDR closed captions, and tone_mapping_info serving as tone mapping definition information used when luminance conversion from the HDR closed captions to STD closed captions serving as closed captions of the first luminance range are recorded on an optical disc. The present technology can be applied to a recording medium on which closed captions are recorded.

A write-once type information recording medium according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one recording layer. In the information recording medium, the at least one recording layer has a spiral shape in which a land track and a groove track are alternately arranged as a recording track, the recording track is divided into blocks each of which being minimum unit in which recording is performed, and the information recording medium includes a management information area where management information is recorded and a user data area where user data is recorded. Each of the management information areas of both the land track and the groove track on each recording layer of the at least one recording layer is disposed at a same distance from the center of the information recording medium.

A recording apparatus including: a recording unit configured to record on a recording medium a file that includes sequentially obtained data; a repair unit configured to repair a predetermined file that needs to be repaired out of files recorded on the recording medium; and a control unit configured to control the recording unit so that recording of data is stopped in response to a drop of a free capacity of the recording medium to a predetermined capacity during recording of the data, the control unit being configured to determine the predetermined capacity based on a data amount necessary to repair the predetermined file that is recorded on the recording medium, to thereby control the recording unit so that the recording of the data is stopped in response to a drop of the free capacity of the recording medium to the predetermined capacity during the recording of the data.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for enabling an application to cooperate with the running of a program. According to the invention, the playing control information of a program and the linking information of an application corresponding to the program are edited into a program playing control file. Through executing said playing control file, guided by the linking information and based on the running control information of the application, the application can download, run or stop to run cooperating with the playing of the optical disc program. The Solution of combining an application and a program into a playing control file will effectively cause the downloading and running of the application to cooperate with the playing of the program so as to ensure normal realization of corresponding functions.

The present technology relates to a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a recording medium capable of displaying graphics with a broader dynamic range of luminance and appropriate brightness. An optical disc records STN_table associating HDR graphics, which are graphics having a second luminance range different from and broader than a first luminance range, with tone_mapping_info including HDR information indicating a luminance characteristic of the HDR graphics and tone_mapping_info, which is tone mapping definition information used when luminance conversion from the HDR graphics to STD graphics which are graphics having the first luminance range is performed, the HDR graphics, and the tone_mapping_info. The present technology is applicable to a recording medium recording graphics.

The present technology relates to a reproducing device, a reproducing method, an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and a recording medium, which are capable of reproducing an appropriate HDR video. The reproducing device of the present technology acquires reproduction management information in which a first flag indicating whether or not encoded data of a first HDR video which is mandatory when a video of a luminance range wider than a standard luminance range is included in content is included in the content and a second flag indicating whether or not encoded data of a second HDR video that is likely to be included in the content is included in the content are described. Further, the reproducing device reproduces the encoded data of the first HDR video or the encoded data of the second HDR video on the basis of the details of the first flag and the second flag and performance of a display serving as an output destination. The present technology can be applied to a Blu-ray disc player.
