(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an imaging / recording apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a two-dimensional code used in the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes a camera which converts an image incident from a subject into an electrical signal by an image sensor such as a CCD image sensor. Reference numeral 3 denotes a camera signal processing circuit which performs noise removal processing on the signal from the camera 2 and then performs signal processing related to photoelectric conversion such as gamma correction and knee correction processing and outputs it as a video signal. The camera 2 and the camera signal processing circuit 3 constitute an imaging unit. Reference numeral 40 denotes a recording / reproducing circuit which is a recording / reproducing means, which performs a recording / reproducing process for a recording medium. Reference numeral 50 denotes a medium, which is a recording medium for recording an image, and represents a non-volatile recording medium such as a semiconductor memory card, an optical disk, a hard disk, or a magnetic tape. Reference numeral 6 denotes a two-dimensional code decoding circuit which decodes a recorded code when a two-dimensional code is recognized from an image and holds necessary information in a memory 7 which will be described later. Reference numeral 7 denotes a memory, which represents a temporary volatile memory that appropriately outputs stored information in response to a request from the control circuit 8 described later. A control circuit 8 adds character data or image data held in the memory 7 to the image and outputs it to the recording / playback processing circuit 40 for recording. Output. Reference numeral 9 denotes a display unit, which is a display unit, and is a video display unit such as an EVF, an LCD, or a television monitor attached to the apparatus main body. When the photographer images the subject, the camera image is monitored by EVF or LCD. The EVF is also composed of a small liquid crystal panel. The LCD is a medium-sized liquid crystal panel that can be opened and closed or fixed to the camera body. A television monitor represents a normal monitor in a general household. These display devices 9 can be displayed both when recording video on the recording medium 50 and when reproducing it.

  The operation of the imaging and recording apparatus of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

  In this configuration, the configuration excluding the two-dimensional code decoding circuit 6 and the memory 7 shows a block configuration of an imaging recording apparatus having a still camera function typified by conventional general still cameras and video cameras. The recorded image is recorded and reproduced on a recording medium, and the recorded / reproduced image represents a basic configuration that can be displayed on a display device. In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code decoding circuit 6 and a memory 7 are newly added to the conventional configuration. The two-dimensional code decoding circuit 6 adds a two-dimensional code for an image from the recording / playback processing circuit 40. The presence or absence is discriminated, and when a two-dimensional code is recognized, code decoding is performed, information usable for this purpose is selected and stored in the memory 7. If it is a two-dimensional code other than this application, the information shall be discarded.

  Information that can be used for this purpose includes information related to the shooting point, such as point name, facility name, latitude / longitude information, text information such as tourist explanations, frame frames for the purpose of image composition, one-point images, etc. Intended for image data.

  When the control circuit 8 records an image as a text as it is, or when performing image composition such as a title or a one-point image, the control circuit 8 appropriately requests information stored in the memory 7 for recording. The image received from the reprocessing circuit 40 is subjected to processing such as image composition, and the recorded image is output again to the recording / reprocessing circuit 40 and recorded on the medium 50. Alternatively, when the image is displayed on the monitor as it is, or when image synthesis is performed on the displayed image, the image after the image synthesis processing is output to the monitor. In this way, if the shooting point name is recorded in the code, for example, the point name is inserted as a title in one corner of the image, or if a one-point image associated with the shooting point is recorded, The image can be synthesized and recorded.

  Or, even if it is recorded, it is possible to record not as an image itself but as incidental data other than an image. There is what is called the Exif standard as a generalized image file format such as a digital still camera. This is a standard that has been standardized by the Japan Electronics Industry Promotion Association (JEIDA) and has been adopted by each company's digital cameras. It can record additional information such as shooting date and time, image title, and user comments as information about the image. It is a standard that can also record images (thumbnail). If information that can be recorded as these additional information can be obtained at the shooting location by a two-dimensional code, the name of the shooting location can be recorded as an image title, and an explanation text can be recorded as a user comment from the decoded data. While it is common to store and manage image files on a personal computer, it is effective to provide image data as incidental data without processing the image itself.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a two-dimensional code used in the present invention.

  In recent years, two-dimensional codes having information in both vertical and horizontal directions are becoming popular. The two-dimensional code is a two-dimensional arrangement of black and white cells, and can express much larger information than a bar code having information only in one direction. FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating an example of a symbol of a QR code which is a kind of two-dimensional code, and FIG. 2B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the feature.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the symbol of the QR code is configured by arranging square cells in a two-dimensional square shape. Each cell is displayed in white or black, and has a function pattern area including a function pattern in which the cell is arranged in a specific pattern, and a code word area arranged in a pattern corresponding to data to be expressed by the cell. The code word area is composed of cells as a predetermined aggregate and is called a module. The functional pattern area is composed of position detection patterns 11, 12, and 13, a format pattern 14, an alignment pattern 15, a timing pattern 16, and a separator 17 in FIG.

  The position detection patterns 11, 12, and 13 are arranged at three corners at the upper left, upper right, and lower left of the symbol. Each module has a structure in which a black square module, a white square module, and a black square module of different sizes are regularly stacked, and when crossing the vicinity of the center, black, white, black, white The black width ratio is “1: 1: 3: 1: 1”. In the decoding process, first, the position and orientation of each symbol in the image data is recognized by detecting the position of each position detection pattern using such a black and white ratio.

  The alignment pattern 15 has a configuration in which a black square module, a white square module, and a black square module each having a different size are regularly stacked. The width ratio of white, black, white and black is configured to be “1: 1: 1: 1: 1”. In the decoding process, when a symbol on image data has a distortion, it is used to correct the distortion.

  The timing pattern 16 is configured by alternately arranging one white module and one black module on a straight line connecting the innermost modules of adjacent position detection patterns, and determines the module coordinates in the symbol. Used for

  The format pattern 14 is an area representing information on the error correction level used for the symbol and the mask pattern reference at the time of masking. The lower side and the right side of the upper left position detection pattern 12, the lower side of the upper right position detection pattern 11, A separator region 17 is disposed along the right side of the lower left position detection pattern 13. The separator area is an area composed of white modules around the position detection pattern so that the position detection pattern can be easily recognized. The error correction level has four correction levels up to a restoration rate of 7 to 30%, and is information indicating which of these levels. The mask pattern reference represents the type of mask pattern used in the masking cancellation process. In order to appropriately disperse the black and white modules so that the same “1: 1: 3: 1: 1” pattern as the position detection pattern does not appear in the code word area in the symbol when creating the QR code, A masking process for performing an XOR operation with any of the types of mask patterns is performed. The masking canceling process cancels masking by performing an inverse operation of such a masking process. A mask pattern data table necessary for this is prepared in advance, and masking is canceled using a data table designated by the mask pattern reference from these.

  The QR code configured in this way can code up to 4296 alphanumeric characters and 1817 Kanji characters, and can be read from all directions at 360 ° by the position detection pattern, resulting in data loss of up to 30%. On the other hand, it is possible to provide a large amount of data in a space-saving manner capable of restoring the data. In addition, since a two-dimensional code such as a QR code is displayed in a square shape, when a large amount of information is recorded, the area of the code itself increases, but it is divided into a plurality of QR codes. It is also possible to record the contents. In that case, the division information is also included in the code. Further, the QR code itself has a password function, and it is possible to set only a 6-digit password so that only devices registered with the same password can be decrypted.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of use in the imaging / recording apparatus of the present application using this QR code, and (a) to (c) are text information or image information relating to a shooting point recorded in the QR code, respectively. An example of the image effect using is shown. FIG. 3 (a) detects title information relating to a shooting point name or a facility name, and combines the title as a title 31 in one corner of the image to be captured. In FIG. 3B, for example, an explanatory guideline such as a famous place / historic site that becomes a photographing point is directly taken as a two-dimensional code so that the monitor can be confirmed later. In FIG. 3C, for example, information such as a frame frame including a unique shooting point name related to the shooting point, a one-point image such as a hot spring mark, etc. can be obtained locally and combined and recorded for shooting at that point. It is to make.

  Of these, it is assumed that the user can arbitrarily set the insertion position of the image and the title or whether or not to insert.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, an image recording apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the imaging / recording apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. 4, the recording / playback processing circuit 40 is changed to the first recording / playback processing circuit 41, the medium 50 is used as the first media 51, and the second recording / playback processing circuit 42 and the second media 52 are added to the configuration shown in FIG. It is characterized by that. At present, there are imaging and recording apparatuses having a medium for still images, a medium for moving images, and a plurality of media. In the present embodiment, the first medium 51 is mainly intended for still image use, and the second medium 52 is mainly intended for moving image use. The main meaning is that moving images can be recorded on the first medium 51 and still images can be recorded on the second medium 52 if image quality is not taken into consideration.

  The first recording / reproducing circuit 41 performs a recording / reproducing process on the first recording medium 51 for the captured image from the camera signal processing circuit 3.

  The medium 51 is a recording medium that mainly records still images, and represents a non-volatile recording medium such as a semiconductor memory card, an optical disk, and a hard disk.

  The second recording / reproducing circuit 42 performs a recording / reproducing process on the second recording medium 52 for the captured image from the camera signal processing circuit 3.

  The medium 52 is a recording medium that mainly performs moving image recording, and represents a non-volatile recording medium such as a semiconductor memory card, an optical disk, a hard disk, and a magnetic tape.

  As in the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code decoding circuit 6 determines the presence or absence of a two-dimensional code included in the image from the first recording / reprocessing circuit 41, and if the two-dimensional code is recognized, After decryption, information usable for this purpose is selected and stored in the memory 7. If it is a two-dimensional code other than the intended use, the information shall be discarded.

  The memory 7 represents a temporary volatile memory that appropriately outputs stored information according to a request from the control circuit 8 described later.

  The control circuit 8 adds character data, image data, etc. held in the memory 7 to the image, and outputs the image data to the first recording / reprocessing circuit 41 or the second recording / reprocessing circuit 42 when recording on any of the media. However, when it is used for monitor display, it is output to the display device 9 described later. In any media, when a recorded image is recorded as an Exif file, information that can be recorded is determined from the recorded information, and control is performed so as to record the incidental data other than the image.

  With respect to the present embodiment configured as described above, the operation in FIG. 4 will be described below.

  This configuration represents an imaging recording apparatus that can record a moving image and a still image on different recording media from one imaging unit. For example, the first recording medium 51 is a semiconductor memory card, and the second recording medium 52 is magnetic. It shall consist of tape. The two-dimensional code seen at the shooting location is recorded as a still image on the first medium 51, and the two-dimensional code decoding circuit 6 performs decoding of the two-dimensional code from the image to determine usable data. It is stored in the memory 7 in which title information and composite image information are recorded, and can be read out appropriately by the control circuit 8 to insert a title or combine images and record it on the first medium 51 and the second medium 52. To. Further, guidance explanations and the like are recorded on the first medium 51 as they are, and can be reproduced and visually confirmed later on a monitor or a television monitor of this apparatus.

  Further, when the DV format is used for recording the second recording medium 52 on the magnetic tape, various auxiliary data can be recorded in addition to the digitized image data recorded on the magnetic tape. In the DV format, which is currently popular as a moving image recording format using magnetic tape media, recording of incidental data called system data in addition to image and audio data is finely defined. For example, in addition to a lot of information such as recording date and time, title, cue ID, and camera settings at the time of recording, there are also recorded contents that can be set as manufacturer options. If recording contents of two-dimensional data are recorded as system data in addition to these images, they can be used for editing at a later date.

  Furthermore, there is a type of magnetic tape in which a DV cassette tape has a semiconductor memory called MIC attached to the cassette tape, and the recorded contents are also specified in the system data standard. This semiconductor memory called MIC is content information recorded on the magnetic tape, and since recording start / end points, table of contents information for each recording, program playback information, etc., recording contents that can be set as options are also prepared. This part is used to record the title of the shooting location, an explanation guide, etc., and can be used for editing at a later date as well as the data recorded on the magnetic tape. However, the recording on the MIC can be performed at a timing different from the recording on the magnetic tape, and the MIC information can be edited later using the contents recorded in the two-dimensional code. It will be a thing.

  When the two-dimensional code used this time is divided and recorded in a plurality of QR codes, by reproducing and decoding one of the divided QR codes, the lack of recorded contents can be understood so that the user can It is assumed that the reproduction of the two-dimensional code is requested or the control is performed so that the preceding and following still images are automatically reproduced.

  In addition, when a password is set in the QR code to be decrypted, the password is automatically checked against the password set in the decryption circuit, or the user is requested to input the password. . Further, the use may be specified using a password. For example, the password for the two-dimensional code reading function of the imaging / recording apparatus is preliminarily passworded, and the two-dimensional code that can be decrypted with this password becomes the code for the imaging / recording apparatus of the present application.

  As described above, the imaging recording apparatus according to the present invention is configured so as to obtain information related to the object to be photographed from the provided two-dimensional code. If the provided two-dimensional code does not exist at the photographing location, this function can be used. The following is an example of providing a two-dimensional code for this purpose.
