Abstract

The invention provides a portable image pickup device which is capable of solving the lengthening of an activation time caused in accordance with a structure of a file system. When an operating system is activated, unused cluster information corresponding to real data stored in a hard disc drive ( 105 ) is acquired from an FSINFO region ( 103 ). Hence, it is possible to omit a work for retrieving an FAT region ( 124 ) in processing for initializing a file system, and thus it is possible to shorten a time required to initialize the file system. As a result, it is possible to shorten a time required for processing for activating the operating system, and it is possible to enhance mobility from a phase in which a power source of a portable image pickup device ( 1 ) is turned ON to a phase in which the portable image pickup device ( 1 ) becomes available.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-031239, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a portable image pickup device capable of solving the problem of prolonged activation time due to file system structure. Background technique [0003] Some conventional image capture devices include a camera unit for obtaining a moving image or a still image of a subject to output image information of the moving image or the still image of the subject, respectively. As for such image pickup devices, image pickup devices including a semiconductor memory such as a flash memory as a storage section in which image information is stored have been widely known. [0004] In addition, an image pickup device employing a hard disk drive as another storage section has been proposed. This image pickup device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Public...
