  Next, when the shooting plan image of the process number corresponding to the shooting process number N is acquired from the storage unit 26 (step B4), the check display mode when checking the shooting status is the shooting plan display for displaying the shooting plan image. It is determined whether the mode or the process number display mode for displaying only the photographing process number is set (step B5). It is assumed that the check display mode is set in advance to either the shooting plan display mode or the process number display mode by the user's initial setting.

  When the shooting plan display mode is set (step B5; shooting plan display mode), as shown in FIG. 11A, the acquired shooting plan image is the shooting image p1 displayed on the display unit 23. The check screen d41 displayed on the entire screen is switched to and displayed (step B6). On the check screen d41, various shooting plan information for specifying the shooting process category, work type, type, item, and timing is displayed, and the shooting process number N is displayed on the upper right of the screen.

  The check screen d41 may be displayed on the entire display screen as shown in FIG. 11 (a) to make it easy to visually check the shooting plan, or as shown in FIG. 11 (b). By reducing the plan image so that it is about ¼ the size of the display screen and switching to the check screen d5 displayed on the shot image p1, both the shot image and the shot plan image can be confirmed at once. It is also possible to make it.

  On the other hand, when the process number display mode is set (step B5; process number display mode), as shown in FIG. 11A, the imaging process acquired on the captured image p1 displayed on the display unit 23. A check screen d42 on which the number N is displayed is displayed (step B7).

  When a check screen corresponding to each check display mode is displayed, the key input is then waited (step B8). When any key is operated, it is determined whether the key input is a key input by the SET key k5. (Step B9). If the key input is not by the SET key k5 (step B9; N), the process proceeds to a process corresponding to the key. If the key input is by the SET key k5 (step B9; Y), the process returns to the PLAY mode. The captured image p1 displayed before the check screen is displayed is displayed again on the display unit 23 (step B10). After displaying the photographed image p1, the process returns to step B1.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, a process check process for displaying the shooting situation in the shooting planned process will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the process check process, and FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a screen transition displayed on the display unit 23 in the process check process.

  As a premise of the description, a process check mode is set from the operation menu, and a shooting plan screen d7 on which a shooting plan image of a specific process specified by the user is displayed on the display unit 23 as shown in FIG. Suppose that it is done.

  In the process check process shown in FIG. 12, key input is waited (step C1), and when any key is operated, it is determined whether or not the key input is a key input by the DISP key k6 (step C2). . If it is not input by the DISP key k6 (step C2; N), the process proceeds to processing according to the input key. If it is input by the DISP key k6 (step C2; Y), as shown in FIG. A notification screen d8 on which a message notifying that processing is in progress is superimposed on d7 is displayed (step C3).

  Next, the count table 251 is initialized, and the count of the captured image that has been counted for each process is reset to 0 (step C4). Next, the image file group stored in the storage unit 26 is sequentially read (step C5), and the photographing process number N recorded in the image file is read (step C6). Then, the count number of the process number N is incremented by +1 in the count table 251 (step C7).

  Next, it is determined whether or not all image files have been read (step C8). If there is an image file that has not been read yet (step C8; Y), the process number N is sequentially read from the image file again after returning to the process of step C5, and the captured image is counted. On the other hand, when all the image files are read and the count number of each process in the count table 251 is written (step C8; Y), the count number of each process in the count table 251 is sequentially searched and the count number is 1. The number of the above processes, that is, the number M of photographed processes is counted (step C9).

  Next, when the total number of steps S planned for photographing is acquired from the count table 251 or the photographing plan table 261 (step C10), it corresponds to the step number of the photographing plan screen displayed when the DISP key k6 is pressed from the count table 251. The count number to be read is read out and set as the number G of photographed images in that process (step C11).

  When the number of photographed processes M, the number of all processes S, and the number of photographed images G in the process of the photographed plan image displayed when the DISP key k6 is pressed are acquired, as shown in FIG. A status notification screen d9 showing the ratio M / S of the number M of photographed processes to the number of photographed images G and the number of all processes S is displayed (step C12).

  Next, key input is waited (step C13), and it is determined which key operation is the key input (step C14). If the key input is by the left cursor key k3 (step C14; left cursor key), as shown in FIG. 13, the shooting plan displaying the shooting plan image in the previous step of the currently displayed shooting plan screen d9 is displayed. The screen d10 is displayed, and the number G of photographed images in the process is read from the count table 251 and displayed on the photographing plan screen d10 together with the ratio M / S (step C15). After the display, the process returns to step C11.

  If the key input is performed using the right cursor key k3 (step C14; right cursor key), the shooting plan screen d11 on which the shooting plan image in the next step of the currently displayed shooting plan screen d9 is displayed is displayed. At the same time, the number G of photographed images in the process is read from the count table 251 and displayed on the photography plan screen d11 together with the ratio M / S (step C16). After the display, the process returns to step C11.

  On the other hand, if it is a key input by the SET key k5 (step C14; SET key), the process shifts to the photographing mode.

  In this way, after checking the shooting situation, the shooting is completed in a series of steps, so that the shot image is transferred to the PC 10, or when shooting is in progress but the shot image is once transferred to the PC 10, the digital camera 20 is used. Mount on the cradle 30. In the digital camera 20, the image file group of the captured image stored in the storage unit 26 is transferred to the PC 10, and the image file group of the transferred captured image is stored in the PC 10. After that, it is possible to create a construction photo album using the photographed image in the PC 10.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the digital camera 20 creates a shooting plan image based on the shooting plan information created by the PC 10, and displays a shooting plan image that can be selected before shooting. Then, the process number of the process selected by this shooting plan image is recorded in the shooting image file after shooting and is associated with shooting plan information.

  Then, during shooting image display, if a shooting process number N is recorded in the shooting image file in response to an instruction by pressing the SET key k5, a shooting plan image corresponding to the shooting process number N is displayed. The operator can confirm that the captured image has already been captured in any one of a series of steps. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the shooting situation with respect to the shot image, and to prevent shooting omissions in a series of steps.

  In addition, while the shooting plan image of each process is displayed, the number of shot images in each process is counted according to an instruction by pressing the DISP key k6, and the ratio of the shot process in all the processes is based on the counted number of shot images. Is displayed, the operator can confirm the presence or absence of an unphotographed process in all processes.

  Furthermore, since the number of photographed images in each process is displayed together with the photographed plan image of the process based on the counted number of photographed images, the operator can easily confirm the number of photographed images in each process, and the predetermined number It is possible to determine omissions such as whether or not only shooting has been performed.

  Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the photographing situation for the process planned for photographing, and to prevent photographing omission.

<Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the shooting status display in the shot image and the shooting status display in the planned shooting process are performed from each operation menu. In the second embodiment, the specific key is pressed. A description will be given of an example in which the display of the shooting status in the shot image and the display of the shooting status in the process can be switched.

  First, the configuration will be described. The configuration of the digital camera as the imaging system, the PC, and the imaging apparatus in the second embodiment is the same as that of the imaging system 100, the PC 10, and the digital camera 20 in the first embodiment. Therefore, illustration is omitted here, and only different functional parts will be described.

  That is, the imaging system 100 according to the second embodiment includes a PC 10 and a digital camera 20 and is connected to the cradle 30 so as to be able to perform data communication with each other. The digital camera 20 includes a CPU 21, an input unit 22, a display unit 23, an I / F 24, a RAM 25, a storage unit 26, a photographing unit 27, and an image memory 28.

  In the second embodiment, when the DISP key k6 is pressed during an image check process (see FIG. 14) described later, the CPU 21 of the digital camera 20 proceeds to a process check process (see FIG. 15) and performs a process check. When the SET key k5 is pressed while the shooting plan screen is displayed in the processing, or when the DISP key k6 is pressed while the check screen is displayed, the flow proceeds to the image check processing.

Next, the operation in the second embodiment will be described.
In the first embodiment, an image check process (see FIG. 10) for displaying a shooting situation for a shot image is executed in the PLAY mode, and a process check process (see FIG. 12) for displaying the shooting situation for a process in the process check mode. In the second embodiment, each process is independently executed as a separate task. However, in the second embodiment, a specific key is used during the image check process in the PLAY mode. An example will be described in which, when an instruction is input, the process check process is executed by interruption and the mode can be shifted to a shooting mode.

  The overall flow in the shooting system 100 is the same as that described in the first embodiment. First, shooting plan information is created in the PC 10 and the shooting plan information is transferred to the digital camera 20. In the digital camera 20, shooting plan information is stored, and at the time of recording a shot image, the process number of the shooting process is recorded in the image file of the shot image based on the shooting plan information. When the shooting is completed, the image file group of each shot image is transferred to the PC 10, and it becomes possible to create a construction photo album in a series of steps in the PC 10.

  Since the process until the shooting plan information is transferred from the PC 10 to the digital camera 20 and the shooting process in the digital camera 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted, and FIG. The image check process and the process check process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the image check process in the second embodiment, FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the process check process in the second embodiment, and FIG. 16 shows the image check process and the process check. It is a figure which shows the screen transition displayed on the display part 23 in a process.

  In the image check process shown in FIG. 14, the process from step B1 to step B8 is the same as the process from step B1 to step B8 of the image check process (see FIG. 10) in the first embodiment. Then, explanation is omitted.

  That is, when the SET key k5 is pressed while displaying the photographed image p1 as shown in FIG. 16 in the PLAY mode, the photographing process number N of the photographed image p1 is acquired from the image file, and a preset check display is displayed. Depending on the mode, a check screen d41 on which a shooting plan image corresponding to the shooting process number N is displayed or a check screen on which the shooting process number N is displayed is displayed. After the display, key input is waited.

Next, the process from step B91 shown in FIG. 14 will be described.
In step B91, the key input by the key operation is determined. If the key input is through the SET key k5 (step B91; SET key), the mode returns to the PLAY mode, the captured image p1 is displayed again (step B10), and the processing returns to step B1. On the other hand, when the key input is by the DISP key k6 (step B91; DISP key), the process proceeds to step C3 shown in FIG.

  Next, the process check process shown in FIG. 15 will be described. As a premise for explanation, it is assumed that the process check mode is set and the photographing plan screen d41 shown in FIG.

  First, in step C1, key input is waited. When a key operation is performed, the input key is determined (step C21). In the case of key input by the SET key k5 (step C21; SET key), the mode is shifted to the PLAY mode, and when the photographed image p1 is displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (step C22), the image check process shown in FIG. The process proceeds to step B3, and the shooting status for the shot image is displayed. On the other hand, if the key input is by the DISP key k6 (step C21; DISP key), the process proceeds to step C3.

  The process from step C3 to step C13 in the process check process shown in FIG. 15 is the same as the process from step C3 to step C13 in the process check process (see FIG. 12) in the first embodiment. Description is omitted.

  That is, the shooting process number N is read out from the image file group of each shot image, and the number of shot images is counted in the count table 251. As shown in FIG. 16, the shot image in the process of the currently displayed shooting plan screen is displayed. A status notification screen d9 on which the number G and the ratio M / S of the number M of photographed processes to the number S of all processes is displayed is displayed.

  Next, key input is waited (step 13), and it is determined whether or not the key input by the key operation is the cursor key k3 (step C141). When the input is performed using the left cursor key k3 (step C141; left cursor key), a status notification screen d10 is displayed on which the shooting plan image of the process number immediately before the currently displayed shooting plan image is displayed (step S10). C15). Then, returning to the processing of step C11, the number G of the captured images of the newly displayed process number is acquired and displayed on the status notification screen d10 as shown in FIG.

  When the input is performed using the right cursor key k3 (step C141; right cursor key), the shooting plan image of the process number immediately after the currently displayed shooting plan image is displayed (step C16). Then, returning to the processing of step C11, the number G of captured images of the displayed process number is acquired and displayed on the status notification screen d11 as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the key input is not the cursor key k3 (step C141; N), it is determined whether the key input is input by the SET key k5 or the DISP key k6 (step C17). When the input is made by the SET key k5 (step C17; SET key), the mode is shifted to the photographing mode. When the input is made by the DISP key k6 (step C17; the DISP key), the mode is shifted to the PLAY mode and shown in FIG. As described above, the captured image p1 is displayed (step C18), and the process proceeds to step B3 in the image check process shown in FIG. 14 to display the captured state of the captured image.

  In this way, after checking the shooting state, when transferring the shot image recorded by the digital camera 20 to the PC 10, the digital camera 20 is attached to the cradle 30. In the digital camera 20, the image file group of the captured image stored in the storage unit 26 is transferred to the PC 10, and the image file group of the transferred captured image is stored in the PC 10. After that, it is possible to create a construction photo album using the photographed image in the PC 10.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, in the digital camera 20, a shooting plan image is created based on the shooting plan information created by the PC 10, and a shooting plan image showing a step of shooting in advance before shooting is shown. By selecting, the shooting plan information in the process of the selected shooting plan image after the shooting is stored in the image file in association with each other.

  Then, during shooting image display, if shooting plan information is associated with the shot image according to an instruction by pressing the SET key k5, shooting plan information indicating the shot process is displayed. It can be confirmed that the captured image has already been captured in any one of a series of steps. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the shooting situation with respect to the shot image, and to prevent shooting omissions in a series of steps.

  In the process check mode, the number of photographed images in each process is counted according to an instruction by pressing the DISP key k6, and the ratio M / S of photographed processes in all processes is displayed based on the counted photographed image number. Thus, the operator can confirm the presence or absence of unphotographed processes in all processes.

  Further, since the number G of photographic images in each process is displayed together with the photographic plan image of that process based on the counted number of photographic images, the operator can easily confirm the number of photographic images in each process. It is possible to determine omissions such as whether the number of images has been taken.

  Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the photographing situation for the process planned for photographing, and to prevent photographing omission.

  In the second embodiment, when the DISP key k6 is pressed while the shooting plan information corresponding to the shooting process number of the shot image is displayed as the shooting status of the shot image in the image check process, the process is performed. Since the number of captured images in each process and the ratio of the number of uncaptured processes to all processes are displayed as the shooting status for each process after shifting to the check process, the shooting status for the captured image and the process planned for shooting are displayed with a simple operation. The shooting situation can be easily checked, which is convenient.

  Furthermore, when the process shifts from the image check process started in the PLAY mode to the process check process, it is possible to shift to the photographing mode as it is by a key operation, so that an operation for switching the mode becomes unnecessary, which is highly convenient.

<Third Embodiment>
In the third embodiment, when a specific key is pressed in the process check mode, the number of captured images in each process planned for shooting is counted, and whether there is an unphotographed process among all processes is specified. An example will be described in which it is determined whether or not photographing has been performed in the step and displayed as a photographing state corresponding to the step.

  First, the configuration will be described. The configuration of the digital camera as the imaging system, the PC, and the imaging apparatus in the third embodiment is the same as that of the imaging system 100, the PC 10, and the digital camera 20 in the first embodiment. Therefore, illustration is omitted here, and only different functional parts will be described.

  In the third embodiment, the CPU 21 of the digital camera 20 reads the entire process check processing program (see FIG. 17) and the current process check processing program (see FIG. 19) from the storage unit 26, and cooperates with these programs. Controls the overall processing operation.

  In the all process check process, the image file group of photographed images is read, the number of photographed images in each process is counted, and the count number is written in the count table 251. Then, if one or more captured images are counted in all the steps, a message notifying that shooting has been completed in all steps is created and displayed on the display unit 23. On the other hand, if one or more photographed images are not counted, that is, if there is a process in which the number of photographed images is 0, a message notifying that there is an unphotographed process is created and displayed on the display unit 23. The total number of processes and their process numbers are displayed.

  On the other hand, in the current process check process, the image file group of the photographed images is read, the number of photographed images corresponding to the process number of the photographed plan image currently being displayed is counted, and the count number is written in the count table 251. If one or more photographed images are counted in the process, a message notifying that the photograph has been taken in the process is created and displayed on the display unit 23 together with the counted number of photographed images. On the other hand, if one or more photographed images are not counted in the process, that is, if the number of photographed images is 0, a message notifying that photographing has not been performed is created and displayed on the display unit 23.

  That is, the control means can be realized by the cooperation of the CPU 21 with the all process check process program and the current process check process.

  The storage unit 26 stores an all process check process program and a current process check process program.

Next, the operation in the third embodiment will be described.
The overall flow in the photographing system 100 is the same as that described in the first embodiment. First, a photographing plan is created in the PC 10 and the photographing plan information is transferred to the digital camera 20. In the digital camera 20, shooting plan information is stored, and at the time of recording a shot image, the process number of the shooting process is recorded in the image file of the shot image based on the shooting plan information. When shooting is completed, the image file of the shot image is transferred to the PC 10, and it is possible to create a construction photo album in a series of steps in the PC 10.

  Since the processing until the shooting plan information is transferred from the PC 10 to the digital camera 20 and the shooting processing in the digital camera 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted, and FIG. With reference to FIGS. 20A to 20C, a description will be given of the all process check process and the current process check process which are characteristic in the third embodiment.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the all process check process, and shows a screen transition displayed on the display unit 23 in the all process check process of FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the current process check process, and FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a screen transition displayed on the display unit 23 in the current process check process.

  First, as shown in FIG. 18, in the process selection menu, when the user presses the DISP key k6 while confirming the photographing plan on the photographing plan screen d31 on which the photographing plan image of each step planned for photographing is displayed, the digital camera In 20, the process shifts to a process check mode for checking the shooting status, and a check menu selection screen d 32 is displayed on the display unit 23. On the selection screen d32, an all process check menu for checking the shooting status for all the processes and a current process check menu for checking the shooting status for the shooting plan image process displayed when the DISP key k6 is pressed are displayed. .

  When the all process check menu is selected on the selection screen d32, the all process check process shown in FIG. 17 is executed, and when the current process check menu is selected, the current process check process shown in FIG. 19 is executed. .

First, the entire process check process will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the all process check process shown in FIG. 17, first, the count table 251 is initialized, and the count of the photographed image counted for each process is reset to 0 (step D1). Next, the image file group stored in the storage unit 26 is sequentially read (step D2). If the process number of the photographing process is recorded in the image file, the process number N is read (step D3). Then, the count number of the process number N is incremented by +1 in the count table 251 (step D4).

  Next, it is determined whether or not all image files have been read (step D5). If there is an image file that has not been read yet (step D5; N), the process number N is sequentially read from the image file after returning to the process of step C5, and the number of captured images is counted. On the other hand, when all the image files are read and the count number of each process in the count table 251 is written (step D5; Y), the count number of each process in the count table 251 is sequentially searched and the count number is 0. The process number H of the process is extracted (step D6).

  Next, whether or not all the processes have been photographed is determined based on the presence or absence of the process having the count number 0 in the count table 251 (step D7). If there is no process having the count number 0 (step D7; Y), all the processes are determined. As shown in FIG. 18, a status notification screen d33 displaying a message m1 for notifying that shooting has been performed is displayed (step D8), and this processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, when there is a process with a count number of 0 in the count table 251 (step D7; N), it is assumed that there is an unphotographed process, as shown in FIG. A status notification screen d34 displaying the unphotographed process, that is, the total process number m3 of count number 0 extracted in step D6 and the process number H (for example, 005, 009, 014...) Is displayed. (Step D9). After the display, this process ends. When the process number H or the like cannot be displayed beyond the display area on the status notification screen d34, the screen configuration is such that the process number H or the like can be confirmed by scroll display.

Next, the current process check process will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the current process check process shown in FIG. 19, first, the process number J of the shooting plan image displayed on the shooting plan screen d31 when the DISP key k6 is pressed is acquired (step E1). Next, the count table 251 is initialized, and the count of the captured image that has been counted for each process is reset to 0 (step E2). Next, the image file group stored in the storage unit 26 is sequentially read (step E3). If the process number of the photographing process is recorded in the image file, the process number N is read (step E4).

  Next, the process number J read in step E1 is compared with the photographing process number N read in step E4, and it is determined whether or not they match (step E5). When the process number J and the photographing process number N match (step E5; Y), the count number of the process number J is incremented by +1 in the count table 251 (step E6).

  Next, it is determined whether or not all image files have been read (step E7). If there is an image file that has not yet been read (step E7; N), the process returns to the process of step C5 to sequentially read out the shooting process number N from the image file, and the number of shot images of the process number J is counted. Is done. On the other hand, when all the image files are read and the count of the process number J in the count table 251 is completed (step E7; Y), the current process, that is, the count number of the process number J is read from the count table 251. Whether or not the process having the process number J has been photographed is determined based on whether or not the count number is 1 or more (step E8).

  When the count number of process number J is 1 or more (step E8; Y), it is assumed that the process of process number J has been photographed, and the current process has been photographed as shown in FIG. A status notification screen d35 displaying a message m4 for notifying the number as the number of shots is displayed on the display unit 23 (step E9). After the display, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the count number of the process number J is 0 (step E8; N), it is assumed that the process of the process number J has not been shot, and as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display unit 23 (step E10). After the display, this process ends.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, when the DISP key k6 is pressed in the process check mode, the all process check menu for checking the shooting status for all processes and the display when the DISP key k6 is pressed are displayed. A current process check menu for checking the shooting status for the current process is displayed in a selectable manner.

  When the all process check menu is selected, the image file group of the photographed images is read in order, and the number of photographed images photographed in each process is counted in the count table 251. If there is a shooting process, the total number of unphotographed processes and the process number are displayed.If there is no unphotographed process among all processes, it is displayed that all the processes have been photographed. It is possible to easily check shooting conditions for all processes with simple key operations, and to prevent omissions in a series of processes.

  When the current process check menu is selected, the image file group of the photographed images is read in order, and the number of photographed images photographed in the current process is counted in the count table 251. If there is a photographed image in the current process, The number of captured images is displayed, and if there is no captured image, it is displayed that the current process has not been captured, so the operator can easily check the shooting status for a specific process with a simple key operation. Shooting omissions in the process can be prevented.
