A system and method provide an enhanced listening experience for a user of a radio receiver or other device that receives broadcast or streamed content having a plurality of program channels. Thu method and system buffer designated channels at the receiver and, when switching among channels, play back the buffered designated channels during reception from a selected point therein depending on the channel or other criteria. When switching to a different channel during reception, a user is able to hear content in a buffered program channel with music from the start of a song, for example, whereas content in a channel with news, talk radio, or live sports is played back from live reception, even though the content segments are transmitted at different start times relative to their selected times for playback following a channel change. User controls allow navigation among buffered designated channels during reception.

An imaging device includes an imaging sensor that outputs an imaging signal representing a sequence of frame images of a photographic subject. A buffer memory temporarily stores data of the sequence of frame images from the imaging signal. A release switch is actuated by a user to output an image-taking signal. A controller, upon receipt of the image-taking signal from the release switch: (i) generates moving image data from at least some of the plurality of frame images stored in the buffer memory, (ii) generates at least one piece of still image data based on at least one frame image of the plurality of frame images stored in the buffer memory, and (iii) associates the moving image data with the still image data and records the moving image data and the still image data in a recording medium.

An information processing apparatus comprises a mounting unit to which a device is detachable, and which is configured to enable communication with the mounted device in accordance with a predetermined standard; a transmission unit configured to transmit a processing instruction to the device mounted via the mounting unit; and a control unit configured to control transmission of the processing instruction by the transmission unit. If transmitting a first processing instruction to a first processing unit of the device and transmitting a second processing instruction to a second processing unit of the device, the control unit at least controls to transmit the first processing instruction during execution of processing by the second processing unit or controls to transmit the second processing instruction during execution of processing by the first processing unit.

There is provided a control device including a display control unit configured to cause display of a display unit to shift between a first display mode in which a first kind of image having a predetermined relation with an electric-to-electric (EE) image acquired by an imaging unit and a second kind of image different from the first kind of image are displayed and a second display mode in which the first kind of image is not displayed and the second kind of image is displayed, and a power control unit configured to control power supply to the imaging unit in the shift between the first and second display modes.

An image capturing apparatus including a mounting part capable of attaching/detaching a device capable of at least storing a captured image, is provided. The image capturing apparatus obtains, if a device mounted in the mounting part has a function of executing image analysis processing for an image captured by the image capturing apparatus, first information representing image analysis processing executable by the device, and output information based on the obtained first information and second information representing image analysis processing executable by the image capturing apparatus.
