Description

  The present disclosure relates to an electronic device including a monitor capable of changing an angle of a display surface.

  2. Description of the Related Art Electronic devices such as digital still cameras and movies are known that can change the angle of a monitor for displaying captured image data or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Conventional electronic devices equipped with such a monitor can often be directed toward the subject by rotating the display surface of the monitor by 180 degrees.

JP 2003-51970 A

  In such a conventional electronic device, when the display surface of the monitor is rotated 180 degrees, the convenience of the monitor may be lowered depending on the positional relationship between the main body and the monitor.

However, since the upper surface of the camera body is located immediately in front of the display surface, depending on the shape of the upper surface and the arrangement of buttons and dials, the visibility of the monitor from the front and the operability for the touch panel on the display surface are reduced. However, convenience may be reduced.

  The present disclosure has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an electronic device with improved convenience when a monitor is rotated.

  An electronic device disclosed herein includes a main body, a display unit that can be arranged in a plurality of directions including a first direction and a second direction with respect to the main body, a detection unit that detects the direction of the display unit, and a detection A display control unit that changes the position of the object relative to the background screen displayed on the display unit based on the orientation of the display unit detected by the unit.

It is shielded by 203.

  FIG. 3 is an electrical configuration diagram of the digital camera 100. Each component shown in FIG. 3 is provided in the main body 101 or on the surface thereof. The digital camera 100 captures a subject image formed via the optical system 110 with the CMOS image sensor 120. The CMOS image sensor 120 generates image data based on the captured subject image. The image data generated by the imaging is subjected to various processes in an AFE (Analog Front End) 121 and an image processing unit 122. The generated image data is recorded on a recording medium such as the flash memory 142 or the memory card 140. In the present embodiment, an example using a memory card 140 is shown as an example of a recording medium. The image data recorded on the memory card 140 is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 based on the operation of the operation unit 150 (an example of an input unit) by the user. Details of the components shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described below.

  The optical system 110 includes a focus lens 111, a zoom lens 112, a diaphragm 113, a shutter 114, and the like. Although not shown, the optical system 110 may include an optical image stabilizer (OIS) lens. The various lenses constituting the optical system 110 may be composed of any number of lenses or groups.

  The focus lens 111 is used to adjust the focus state of the subject. The zoom lens 112 is used to adjust the angle of view of the subject. The diaphragm 113 is used to adjust the amount of light incident on the CMOS image sensor 120. The shutter 114 adjusts the exposure time of light incident on the CMOS image sensor 120. The focus lens 111, the zoom lens 112, the diaphragm 113, and the shutter 114 are driven according to control signals notified from the controller 130 by driving means such as a DC motor and a stepping motor corresponding to each of the focus lens 111, the zoom lens 112, the diaphragm 113, and the shutter 114.

  The CMOS image sensor 120 captures a subject image formed through the optical system 110 and generates image data. When the digital camera 100 is in the shooting mode, the CMOS image sensor 120 generates image data of a new frame every predetermined time.

  In the AFE 121, various processes are performed on the image data read from the CMOS image sensor 120. Various processes include noise suppression by correlated double sampling, amplification to the input range width of the A / D converter by an analog gain controller, and A / D conversion by the A / D converter. Thereafter, the AFE 121 outputs the image data to the image processing unit 122.

  The image processing unit 122 performs various processes on the image data output from the AFE 121. Various types of processing include smear correction, white balance correction, gamma correction, YC conversion processing, electronic zoom processing, compression processing, expansion processing, and the like. Various processes may include processes other than these processes. The image processing unit 122 stores the image information subjected to various processes in the buffer memory 124. The image processing unit 122 may be configured with a hard-wired electronic circuit. The image processing unit 122 may be configured by a microcomputer using a program. Further, the image processing unit 122 may be configured with one semiconductor chip together with the controller 130 and the like.

  The liquid crystal monitor 123 is provided on the back surface of the main body 101 of the digital camera 100. The liquid crystal monitor 123 is a monitor having a touch panel in a tilt method. The liquid crystal monitor 123 is configured so that the orientation of the display surface 123A can be changed by a tilt method. The liquid crystal monitor 123 can be rotated about the horizontal axis about the display surface 123A with respect to the main body 101 by the hinge 123B. Thereby, the display surface 123 </ b> A of the liquid crystal monitor 123 can be directed to the back side and / or the front side of the digital camera 100. For example, FIGS. 2A and 2B show a state in which the display surface 123A is opened 180 degrees from the main body about the rotation axis in the left-right direction. At that time, the display surface 123A faces the front side.

  The liquid crystal monitor 123 displays an image based on the image data processed by the image processing unit 122. The image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 includes a through image and a recorded image. The through image (an example of a background screen) corresponds to a series of images that continuously display image data of new frames generated at regular intervals by the CMOS image sensor 120. Normally, when the digital camera 100 is in the shooting mode, the image processing unit 122 generates a through image from the image data generated by the CMOS image sensor 120. The user can take a picture while confirming the composition of the subject by referring to the through image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123. A recorded image (an example of a background screen) corresponds to an image that has been reduced to low pixels in order to display high-pixel image data recorded on the memory card 140 on the liquid crystal monitor 123 when the digital camera 100 is in the playback mode. doing. The high-pixel image data recorded on the memory card 140 is generated by the image processing unit 122 based on the image data generated by the CMOS image sensor 120 after accepting the operation of the release button by the user.

  The liquid crystal monitor 123 can display an icon or the like (an example of an object) on the through image or the recorded image.

  The liquid crystal rotation detection unit 125 (an example of a detection unit) detects the rotation angle (rotation state) of the liquid crystal monitor 123 and notifies the controller 130 of the detection result. The controller 130 acquires the rotation angle of the liquid crystal monitor as a detection result from the liquid crystal rotation detection unit 125 and stores it in the buffer memory 124. In the present embodiment, the controller 130 performs display processing based on the recognition of the acquired detection result so that the display state of the liquid crystal monitor 123 is easy to see and / or operate.

  The controller 130 controls the overall operation of the digital camera 100. Further, the controller 130 records the image data stored in the buffer memory 124 in the memory card 140 after the processing of the image processing unit 122 is completed. The controller 130 includes a ROM that stores a program, a CPU that processes various types of information by executing the program, and the like. The ROM stores programs for controlling the entire operation of the digital camera 100 in addition to programs related to file control, autofocus control (AF control), automatic exposure control (AE control), and flash 160 light emission control. Yes.

  The controller 130 has a display control unit 132. The display control unit 132 superimposes and displays a through image or a recorded image (hereinafter referred to as a through image) displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 and an icon or the like. This is realized by drawing a through image or the like on an image plane, drawing an icon or the like on an OSD (On Screen Display) plane, and then overlaying and displaying them. The image plane and the OSD plane are prepared in the buffer memory 124.

  In addition, the display control unit 132 controls whether the content displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 is reversed up and down or left and right according to the detection result of the liquid crystal rotation detection unit 125. For example, the controller 130 performs display processing based on the detection result obtained by the liquid crystal rotation detection unit 125 so that the display state of the liquid crystal monitor 123 is easy to see and / or operate. The inversion control can be realized by controlling the display direction on the liquid crystal monitor 123 after drawing a through image or an icon on the image plane or OSD plane described above (details will be described later).

  The controller 130 may be configured with a hard-wired electronic circuit or a microcomputer. Further, it may be constituted by one semiconductor chip together with the image processing unit 122 and the like. The ROM does not have to be an internal configuration of the controller 130 and may be provided outside the controller 130.

  The buffer memory 124 is a storage unit that functions as a work memory for the image processing unit 122 and the controller 130. The buffer memory 124 can be realized by a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or the like. The flash memory 142 functions as an internal memory for recording image data, setting information of the digital camera 100, and the like.

  The card slot 141 is a connection means that allows the memory card 140 to be attached and detached. The card slot 141 can connect the memory card 140 electrically and mechanically. The card slot 141 may have a function of controlling the memory card 140.

  The memory card 140 is an external memory provided with a recording unit such as a flash memory. The memory card 140 can record image data processed by the image processing unit 122.

  The operation unit 150 is a general term for operation buttons and operation dials provided on the exterior of the digital camera 100, and accepts an operation by a user. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a still image release button 201, a movie release button 206, a zoom lever 202, a power button 203, a center button 204, a cross button 205, a mode switch 207, and a scene switch dial 209 This corresponds to the operation unit 150. When the operation unit 150 receives an operation by the user, the operation unit 150 notifies the controller 130 of various operation instruction signals.

  The still image release button 201 is a two-stage push button that is half pressed and fully pressed. When the still image release button 201 is half-pressed by the user, the controller 130 executes AF (Auto Focus) control or AE (Auto Exposure) control to determine the shooting condition. Subsequently, when the still image release button 201 is fully pressed by the user, the controller 130 performs a photographing process. The controller 130 records the image data captured at the timing of full depression on the memory card 140 or the like as a still image. Hereinafter, when it is described that the still image release button 201 is simply pressed, it indicates full press.

  The movie release button 206 is a push button for instructing start / end of movie recording. When the moving image release button 206 is pressed by the user, the controller 130 converts the image data generated by the image processing unit 122 based on the image data generated by the CMOS image sensor 120 as a moving image to the memory card 140 or the like. Records continuously on a recording medium. When the moving image release button 206 is pressed again, recording of the moving image ends.

  The zoom lever 202 is a center-position self-returning lever for adjusting the angle of view between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end. When operated by the user, the zoom lever 202 notifies the controller 130 of an operation instruction signal for driving the zoom lens 112. In other words, when the zoom lever 202 is operated to the wide angle end side, the controller 130 drives the zoom lens 112 so that the subject can be captured at a wide angle. Similarly, when the zoom lever 202 is operated to the telephoto end side, the controller 130 drives the zoom lens 112 so that the subject can be captured at telephoto.

  The power button 203 is a push-type button for the user to instruct power supply to each unit constituting the digital camera 100. When the power button 203 is pressed by the user when the power is turned off, the controller 130 supplies power to each unit constituting the digital camera 100 and activates it. When the power button 203 is pressed by the user when the power is turned on, the controller 130 stops the power supply to each unit.

  The center button 204 is a push button. When the center button 204 is pressed by the user while the digital camera 100 is in the shooting mode or the playback mode, the controller 130 displays a menu screen on the liquid crystal monitor 123. The menu screen is a screen for setting various conditions for shooting / playback. Information set on the menu screen is recorded in the flash memory 142. When pressed when a setting item for various conditions is selected, the center button 204 also functions as an enter button.

  The cross button 205 is a push-type button provided in the vertical and horizontal directions. The user can select various condition items displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 by pressing any direction of the cross button 205.

  The mode changeover switch 207 is a push button provided in the vertical direction. The user can switch the state of the digital camera 100 to the shooting mode and the playback mode by pressing any direction of the mode switch 207.

  The scene switching dial 209 is a dial for switching scene modes. The scene mode is a generic name for modes set according to the shooting situation. By switching the scene switching dial 209, one of the plurality of scene modes is set. The plurality of scene modes include, for example, a landscape mode, a portrait mode, a night view mode, a backlight mode, a macro mode, and a scene automatic discrimination mode. In the automatic scene determination mode, for example, any one of a landscape mode, a portrait mode, a night scene mode, a backlight mode, and a macro mode is automatically set based on image data.

[2. Operation)
[2-1. Shooting operation of digital camera 100]
The shooting control of the digital camera 100 will be described. By recognizing the rotation state of the liquid crystal monitor 123, the digital camera 100 performs display processing and displays an image so that the user can easily see and / or operate. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of shooting control when the digital camera 100 is in shooting mode. The digital camera 100 can shoot moving images and still images in the shooting mode. Here, as an example, shooting of a still image will be described.

  When the shooting mode is set by the user operating the mode changeover switch 207, the controller 130 performs an initialization process necessary for still image recording (S401).

  After the initialization is completed, if the mode changeover switch 207 is in the shooting mode, the controller 130 acquires the rotation information of the liquid crystal monitor 123 from the rotation detection unit 125 and determines the presence or absence of rotation (S405). Here, for example, the state in which the display surface of the liquid crystal monitor 123 faces the back side (the state in which the liquid crystal monitor 123 is closed) is set to a rotation angle of 0 degree. In this case, on the basis of this state, when the rotation of the liquid crystal monitor 123 is equal to or greater than a predetermined angle (for example, 180 degrees, the state where the liquid crystal monitor 123 is opened) (Yes in S405), the controller 130 determines that there is a rotation. .

  On the basis of this state, when the rotation of the liquid crystal monitor 123 is less than a predetermined angle (No in S405), it is determined that there is no rotation.

  If it is determined in step S405 that the liquid crystal monitor 123 is not rotating (No in S405), the display control unit 132 performs display processing in the normal mode (FIG. 5) while maintaining the orientation of the image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123. (S406). In the display process in the normal mode, the display control unit 132 displays the through image and various icons in a normal direction. The icon is displayed over the through image. In other words, the display control unit 132 displays the image plane on which the through image is drawn and the OSD plane on which the icon is drawn on the liquid crystal monitor 123 in a normal orientation. In FIG. 5A, when the display control unit 132 operates an icon 501 (here, “continuous shooting number” icon) displayed at the bottom of the screen as the UI in the normal mode, the display control unit 132 displays the icon 501 in the center of the screen. A corresponding operation UI 502 is displayed (FIG. 5B). For example, if the icon 501 is an icon for setting the number of continuous shots, the display control unit 132 sets a plurality of icons for setting the number of continuous shots in the center of the screen in response to the user touching the icon 501. Is displayed as the operation UI 502.

  If it is determined in step S405 that the liquid crystal monitor 123 is rotating (Yes in S405), the display control unit 132 inverts the orientation of the image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 123 (S407). In this case, the digital camera 100 further enters the self-shooting mode, and the display control unit 132 performs display processing (S408) of a dedicated user interface (UI) (FIG. 6A). In the display processing in the self-portrait mode, the display control unit 132 displays an icon that is vertically and horizontally reversed on a through image that is vertically reversed. That is, the display control unit 132 displays the image plane on which the through image is drawn upside down and the OSD plane on which the icon is drawn upside down on the liquid crystal monitor 123 in a superimposed manner.

  When the UI is displayed, as an operation for changing the setting, since the still image release button 201 is on the left hand side when viewed from the front of the digital camera 100, the user holds the main body 101 with the left hand and the still image release button. Put your finger on 201. The user touches the setting screen with the right hand.

  Therefore, when an operation icon is displayed at the lower part or the left part of the screen when viewed from the front, the lens barrel of the optical system 110 or the buttons and dials on the upper surface of the camera may interfere with the touch operation on the screen. Therefore, in the digital camera 100 of the present embodiment, the display control unit 132 displays the operation UI in the self-portrait mode in the region 603A on the right side of the screen and the region 603B on the upper side when viewed from the front (FIG. )). Here, the right part of the screen refers to an area within a predetermined distance from the right edge of the screen. The upper part of the screen refers to an area within a predetermined distance from the upper end of the screen. In other words, the right part of the screen refers to an area within a predetermined distance from the right edge of the OSD plane. The upper part of the screen refers to an area within a predetermined distance from the upper end of the OSD plane. The right part of the screen refers to an area on the display surface 123A of the liquid crystal monitor 123 on the opposite side to the side on which the still image release button 201 is disposed on the main body 101. The upper part of the screen refers to a region on the display surface 123 </ b> A of the liquid crystal monitor 123 that is far from (on the opposite side of) the main body 101 or the hinge 123 </ b> B connected to the main body 101.

  In FIG. 6A, when the display control unit 132 operates an icon 601 (here, “Continuous Shooting Number” icon) displayed on the right side of the screen as the UI for the self-portrait mode, the display control unit 132 does not interfere with the operation. An operation UI 602 corresponding to the icon 601 is displayed at the top of the screen (above the display position in the normal mode) (FIG. 6B). For example, if the icon 601 is an icon for setting the number of continuous shots, the display control unit 132 displays a plurality of icons for setting the number of continuous shots at the top of the screen in response to the user touching the icon 601. Displayed as an operation UI 602.

  As described above, when the liquid crystal monitor 123 is opened, the screen is displayed in the area 603A on the right side of the screen and the area 603B on the upper side of the screen in order to improve the operability with respect to the touch panel on the liquid crystal monitor 123. By doing so, the user can easily operate the touch panel, and the convenience when the liquid crystal monitor 123 is rotated can be improved.

  The controller 130 includes confirmation of the state of the mode changeover switch 207 (S404), display of the self-portrait mode (S408), display of the normal mode (S406), and monitoring of pressing of the still image release button 201 (S409). Input confirmation processing and display processing from the user are repeatedly executed. Note that in step S404, if the state of the mode switch 207 is not the shooting mode, the shooting mode processing is terminated.

  After the display process of the self-portrait mode in step S408 and the display process of the normal mode in step S406, when it is detected in step S409 that the still image release button 201 is pressed, the controller 130 performs a still image shooting process ( S411).

  With this configuration, when the liquid crystal monitor 123 is opened (ie, rotated 180 degrees), UIs such as icons are displayed in the area 603A on the right side of the screen and the area 603B on the upper side of the screen. By doing so, the user can easily operate the touch panel even when the liquid crystal monitor 123 is opened, and the convenience when the liquid crystal monitor 123 is rotated can be improved.
