Abstract:
1. An adapter apparatus, which connects an image sensing apparatus that comprises a disk recording unit for recording data on a disk recording medium which requires finalize processing, and distributes data recorded on the disk recording medium which requires finalize processing of the image sensing apparatus to a data receiving terminal on a network, said apparatus comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with the data receiving terminal on the network; a detection unit configured detect connection of the image sensing apparatus; a reception unit configured to receive media data, from the image sensing apparatus detected by said detection unit, wherein said media data includes an image file recorded on the disk recording medium which requires finalize processing, of the image sensing apparatus, and management information of the image file; a virtual finalize processing unit configured to execute virtual finalize processing by generating a disk image comprising the media data received by said reception unit, a file management system by a computer and a file management system of a DVD-Video format on a memory of the adapter apparatus so that said data receiving terminal can access the disk image, and storing the generated disk image on a memory; a transmission unit configured to transmit the media data of the disk image on said memory to the data receiving terminal via said communication unit in response to a request from the data receiving terminal; a transmission request reception unit configured to receive a transmission request of an execution instruction of finalize processing of the disk recording medium which requires finalize processing, of the image sensing apparatus, from said data receiving terminal, and an execution instruction transmission unit configured to, when the transmission request is received by said transmission request reception unit from said data receiving terminal, transmit the execution instruction of finalize processing of the disk recording medium which requires finalize processing, of the image sensing apparatus, to the image sensing apparatus.
