Abstract:
In a recording and reproducing apparatus and a recording and reproducing method for the recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing image information on a scene obtained through photographing, relative to a predetermined first recording medium and being capable of setting one or more chapters to each scene, a face recognizing process is executed for a photographed image based on the image information, an importance level of each chapter is set in accordance with a result of the face recognizing process for a very important person (VIP) set by a user, and each chapter having a relevant importance level among importance levels of respective chapters is selectively reproduced. A user can therefore find an object chapter and scene quickly and easily.

Claim (Index 1):
A recording and reproducing method for recording and reproducing video information, comprising:\n photographing, by a photographing unit, an object and generating video information; recording, by a recording unit, the video information having been generated by the photographing unit into a recording medium; executing, by a face-recognition processing unit, a face-recognizing process on the video information to recognize a face; reproducing, by a reproducing unit, the video information having been recorded by the recording unit from the recording medium; setting, by a specific person setting unit, one of a first setting mode and a second setting mode and executing a process of specifying a person with a face according to the set one of the first setting mode and the second setting mode, wherein, when the first setting mode is set, a person is specified with a face recognized by the face-recognition processing unit after the first setting mode is set and before the recording of the video information by the recording unit, and, when the second setting mode is set, a person is specified with a face in the video information in the recording medium that has previously been recorded and previously recognized by the face-recognition processing unit before the specific person setting unit sets the first setting mode or the second setting mode; and controlling, by a control unit, the reproducing unit so as to selectively reproduce the video information from the recording medium which includes the specific person set by the specific person setting unit according to a result of the face-recognition processing unit.
