【００５２】
以下、図１２のフローチャートを参照して、第３の実施例による画像記録のシーケンスを説明する。パトローネを電子アルバムシステムに装填すると、フィルムがフィルム給送回路９により空送りされ、フィルムカウンタＦＣに“１”がストアされる（ステップＳ２０１〜Ｓ２０３）。
【００５３】
続いて、フィルム２４を給送し、イメージスキャナ８を動作させてフィルム画像を電気信号に変換しフレームメモリ１２に記憶する。このとき、フィルム２４の給送に伴って磁気情報も読取られる。こうしてフィルム２４の給送が停止され、画像情報及び磁気情報がモニタ２２に表示される（ステップＳ２０４〜Ｓ２０９）。このモニタ２２に表示された画像を記憶しない場合には（ステップＳ２０９）、フィルムカンタＦＣをインクリメントした後、フィルムエンドであればフィルムを巻き戻し動作を終了し、フィルムエンドでなければ、上記ステップＳ２０４に移行して上記動作を繰り返す（ステップＳ２１５〜Ｓ２１８）。
【００５４】
一方、モニタ２２に表示された画像を記憶する場合には（ステップＳ２０９）、重要度を指定する場合には指定し（ステップＳ２１０，Ｓ２１１）、画像圧縮動作を行った後、フレームメモリ１４に画像データを記憶し、検索データと画像データを光ディスク１５に記憶した後、ステップＳ２１５に移行する（ステップＳ２１２〜Ｓ２１４）。
【００５５】
このように、第３の実施例では、インデックスプリント１を使用せずに、毎駒フィルム２４から画像情報をイメージスキャナ８で読み取ってモニタ２２に表示を行い、該画像情報を光ディスクメモリ１５に記憶しておくかどうかを決める。

[0018]
In such a configuration, the index print 1 is configured in detail as shown in FIG. 2, and an image for one film is printed with each frame being made smaller. The bar code 1a attached to the index print 1 is printed with the same content as the code indicating the film number magnetically recorded on the lead portion of the film by the camera at the end of shooting. In each frame, the frame number recorded on the magnetic recording layer outside the film screen and the shooting date information are encoded and printed for each frame by the magnetic recording circuit of the camera.
[0019]
When the bar code 1a, 1b attached to the index print 1 is read by the bar code reader 2, the information is output to the control circuit 23, and predetermined information is input by the key input device 3. Then, the information is output to the control circuit 23. Further, the search information creation device 4 creates search information, film number, title, frame number, shooting date, importance rank, keyword, image length, etc. when storing image information. Then, the editing information creation device 5 selects and edits the stored image information of the enormous number of frames so that it can be screened in a predetermined time, and the editing information creation device 5 creates the editing information creation device 5 with the magnetic disk memory 6. Screening information is stored.
[0020]
On the other hand, when the developed film 24 is irradiated with light by the light source device 7, the image on the film 24 is converted into an electrical signal by the image scanner 8. At this time, the film 24 is fed at a constant speed by the film feeding circuit 9 while the film feeding amount is detected by the film encoder 10. The electrical signal of the image scanner 8 is temporarily stored in the frame memory 12, and the image information is compressed by JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) by the compression circuit 13, and then temporarily stored in the frame memory 14 and stored in the optical disk memory 15. The Since the optical disk memory 15 has a large capacity, a plurality of pieces of image information can be stored.
[0021]
When the image information stored in the optical disk memory 15 is read out, the frame memory 16 reads out and stores the image information for one designated screen from the optical disk memory 15, and the decompression circuit 17 The compressed image information is decompressed and restored. The decompressed image information is temporarily stored in the frame memories 18 and 19 and synthesized with the character information and the like created by the character information creation circuit 21 by the synthesis circuit 20, and then the image and characters etc. are displayed on the monitor 22.

[0024]
Here, details of information stored in the magnetic disk memory 6 and the optical disk memory 15 are as shown in FIG.
That is, FIG. 3A shows the stored contents of the optical disk memory 15. In the optical disk memory 15, as search data, “image serial number”, “film number / title”, “frame number”, “shooting date”, “importance rank”, “keyword”, “image length” are stored. Is stored, followed by actual image data. The “image serial number” is a serial number not related to the film, and the “film number / title” is magnetically recorded by the camera on the film reader. The “frame number” and “shooting date” are also magnetically recorded on the magnetic recording layer outside the screen of each frame by the camera. The “importance rank” is an index indicating how important the photograph is for the user, and is specified by the user together with the “keyword”. The “image length” refers to the length of an image after image compression. The length of the image data differs depending on each scene. The optical disc memory 15 has a capacity for storing several hundred pieces of image information data configured as described above.
[0025]
On the other hand, FIG. 3B shows the storage contents of the magnetic disk memory 6. In this magnetic disk memory 6, the number of frames necessary for one screening (usually several tens of frames) is edited out of several hundred frames of image information stored in the optical disk memory 15, and the image information is stored in the magnetic disk memory 6. Address data on the stored optical disk memory 15 are recorded in order. At the time of screening, the address data is referred to and the image information is sequentially read from the optical disk memory 15 and displayed, so that it can be automatically viewed on the monitor 22 as an electronic album. The above address data has been edited in advance, and in addition to the address data, “screening title”, “edit date”, “edit film number condition”, “edit shooting date condition”, “edit importance rank condition”, Information on “edit keyword condition”, “number of screened frames”, and “screening time” is also stored.
[0026]
The image recording sequence according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the index print 1 shown in FIG. 2 and the developed film 24 corresponding thereto are prepared. The developed film 24 is stored in the cartridge again after development and baking.
[0027]
When this cartridge is loaded into the electronic album system, the film feeding circuit 9 automatically performs blank feeding, and the film number and magnetic data of the reader section of the film 24 are read by the magnetic information reading circuit 11 to control the information. It is output to the circuit 23 and displayed on the monitor 22 (steps S1 to S4).
[0028]
Further, when the bar code reader 2 reads the information of the bar code 1a on which the film number of the index print 1 is printed, the information is output to the control circuit 23, and the control circuit 23 outputs the information on the index print 1 and the film. It is determined whether the types match (steps S5 and S6). Here, when the two do not match, for example, after displaying a warning on the monitor 22, after replacing the index print 1, etc., when reading the barcode again, the above operation is repeated. If not, the film 24 is rewound and all operations are terminated (steps S7 to S10). Subsequently, when it is desired to input a film title, a film title such as “summer vacation” is input by the key input device 3 (steps S11 and S12).
[0029]
When the barcode 1b relating to the frame to be stored in the optical disk memory 15 is read by the barcode reading device 2 and inputted to the control circuit 23, the film number corresponding to the barcode information is recognized by the control circuit 23. Then, the film 24 is automatically fed to the corresponding frame by the film feeding circuit 9, the image scanner 8 operates to store the image information in the frame memory 12, the film 24 is stopped, and then the image is displayed on the monitor 22. Is displayed (steps S13 to S20). While viewing the display on the monitor 22, the user determines and inputs how important the photograph is from the five steps of the key input device 3. This situation is as shown in FIG. 5, and in this example, the three star signs are important (steps S22 and S23).
[0030]
Subsequently, an image compression operation is performed by the compression circuit 13, the compressed image is temporarily stored in the frame memory 14, and then the search data and the image data are stored in the optical disk memory 15 according to the format of FIG. 3 (steps S24 to S26). In this way, when the image recording is continued, the process returns to step S13 and the above operation is repeated. When the operation is ended, the film 24 is rewound and then all the operations are ended (steps S27 to S29).
[0031]
Next, the editing information (screening information) creation sequence according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, since it takes too much time to display all the hundreds of pieces of image information stored in the optical disc memory 15 on the monitor 22 as shown in FIG. Select.
[0032]
In addition to the conventional film number (for example, No. 10 to 30), shooting date (for example, 1990.1-1 to 1993.12.31), keywords (for example, school events and kindergarten events) as search conditions for image information Has a new importance rank. This is equivalent to the number of stars in FIG. 5, and an input of three or more stars or two or more stars is set. Based on these conditions, a subroutine “search” is executed.
[0033]
That is, as shown in FIG. 7, “image serial number”, “film number / title”, “frame number”, “shooting date”, “importance rank”, “keyword”, “image” of the optical disk memory 15 "Long" information is read out, and the film number, film number, and address data are stored in the magnetic disk memory 6 when the film number, shooting date, importance rank, and keywords meet the above conditions, and this is stored in all the images. It repeats about data and returns to a main routine (Steps S50-S61).
[0034]
Thus, as a result of searching the optical disk memory 15, the number of frames satisfying the condition is displayed as the number of screened frames. In addition, when the screening time is determined such as 10 seconds per frame, the screening time is also displayed (steps S30 to S41).
[0035]
If the screening time is not what is desired, the conditions including the importance are reviewed. That is, if the screening time per frame is not changed, the process returns to step S30 to repeat the above operation and review the above conditions. If the screening time is changed, the screening time per frame is input (step S42). To S44).
[0036]
Thus, an editing information file is created in accordance with the format of the magnetic disk memory 6 shown in FIG. If the editing is continued, the process returns to step S30 and the above operation is repeated. If the editing is not continued, all the operations are ended (steps S47 and S48).
[0037]
Next, a screening sequence for sequentially displaying designated image information in the optical disk memory 15 on the monitor 22 based on the editing information file in the magnetic disk memory 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. After the magnetic disk memory 6 is loaded and the optical disk memory 15 is loaded, when a screening title is input by the key input device 3, the editing information file is read from the magnetic disk memory 6, and the search condition, screening frame, screening time It is displayed on the monitor 22 (steps S70 to S75).
[0038]
Then, the image serial number address Ad of the magnetic disk memory 6 is sequentially read, the image data is read from the corresponding address on the optical disk memory 15, the image is decompressed by the decompression circuit 17, and is alternately stored in the frame memories 18 and 19. Screening is performed for a predetermined time (steps S76 to S92).
[0039]
As described above, in the first embodiment, an element of “importance” is included in the search condition, and the screening time can be controlled by the element.
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Since the configuration of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted here.
[0040]
The image recording sequence of the present invention will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the cartridge is loaded in the electronic album system, the film 24 is automatically fed by the film feeding circuit 9, and the film number and magnetic data are read and displayed on the monitor 22 (steps S100 to S103).
[0041]
Subsequently, the bar code 1a on which the film number of the index print 1 is recorded is read by the bar code reader 2, and it is determined whether or not the film number matches that of the already loaded film 24. In this case, a warning is displayed on the monitor 22, and when the bar code 1a is read again, the index print 1 is replaced, and then the process proceeds to step S105. If the barcode 1a is not read again, the film is rewound and all operations are terminated (steps S106 to S109).
[0042]
When inputting the film title, the film title is input and 1 is stored in the variable i (steps S110 to S112). Next, when the bar code of the input frame is designated, the input frame number and the shooting date are displayed on the monitor 22, and the film 24 is fed by the film feeding circuit 9 until the film counter FC becomes equal to the input frame (step) S113 to S116).
[0043]
When the film 24 is fed and set up to the frame designated by the bar code in this way, the light is irradiated onto the film 24 by the light source device 7, and the image on the film 24 is converted into an electrical signal by the image scanner 8, and the frame It is temporarily stored in the memory 12. The stored image information is compressed by the compression circuit 13 and then subjected to index display data processing and temporarily stored in the frame memory 14. The image information stored in the frame memory 14 is decompressed and displayed on the monitor 22 (steps S117 to S124). To continue reading and displaying the image, the variable i is incremented, and the process returns to step S113 (steps S125 and S126).
[0044]
When the reading and display of the image are not continued, the priority ranking operation is performed while viewing the index display on the monitor 22 by the key input device 3 (steps S127 and S128). Thus, after ranking the importance levels, the images of the film 24 are taken into the optical disk memory 15 according to the ranking (steps S129 to S140). When the loading is completed, the film 24 is rewound and all operations are finished (steps). S142, S142).
[0045]
As described above, in the second embodiment, when the bar code of the frame to be recorded is designated from the index print 1, the image data of the film is read by the scanner and data processing is performed for index display. That is, the index display is performed on the monitor for only the designated frame. Then, a ranking operation is performed among them, and the optical disc memory 15 is stored according to this ranking.
[0046]
The index display on the monitor 22 is as shown in FIG. 10. The frame number is displayed at the upper left of each frame, the shooting date is specified at the lower left of the image, and the important date is designated at the lower right. Each rank is displayed.
[0047]
Next, the editing information creation sequence according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When a desired one of the film number, shooting date, and keyword is input, the condition is displayed on the monitor 22. In accordance with this condition, the subroutine “search” is executed (steps S150 to S157). Then, the number of screen frames and the screen time are displayed on the monitor 22. If this condition is acceptable (step S169), the screening title is input, the editing information file is stored in the magnetic disk memory 6, and the operation is terminated (steps S168 to S170).
[0048]
On the other hand, if the above condition is not preferable, the target screening time is input, the editing coefficient H is calculated, and the number of frames in the group having the same film number is counted (steps S161 to S163). Then, the number of frames in each group is multiplied by a variable coefficient, the frame data exceeding the calculated value is erased, the newly determined number of screen frames and the screen time are displayed on the monitor 22, and the process returns to step S160 (step S164). ~ S167).
[0049]
In this way, when the screening time is long in the search excluding the first importance level, the editing coefficient H (= target screening time / current screening time) is determined by setting the target screening time, and the same file number is set. Multiply the number of recorded images having H by this H, and display that number of images. For example, when H = 0.5, it is as follows.
[0050]
[Table 1]

[0051]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Since the configuration of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.
In the third embodiment, the index print 1 is not used, and image information is read from the frame film 24 by the image scanner 8 and displayed on the monitor 22, and the image information is stored in the optical disk memory 15. Decide what to do.
[0052]
The image recording sequence according to the third embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the cartridge is loaded into the electronic album system, the film is fed by the film feeding circuit 9 and "1" is stored in the film counter FC (steps S201 to S203).
[0053]
Subsequently, the film 24 is fed, and the image scanner 8 is operated to convert the film image into an electrical signal and store it in the frame memory 12. At this time, magnetic information is also read as the film 24 is fed. Thus, the feeding of the film 24 is stopped, and image information and magnetic information are displayed on the monitor 22 (steps S204 to S209). If the image displayed on the monitor 22 is not stored (step S209), after the film counter FC is incremented, if the film end is reached, the film rewinding operation is terminated. And the above operation is repeated (steps S215 to S218).
[0054]
On the other hand, when the image displayed on the monitor 22 is stored (step S209), the importance level is specified (steps S210 and S211). After the image compression operation, the image is stored in the frame memory 14. After storing the data and storing the search data and image data on the optical disc 15, the process proceeds to step S215 (steps S212 to S214).
[0055]
As described above, in the third embodiment, without using the index print 1, image information is read from the frame film 24 by the image scanner 8 and displayed on the monitor 22, and the image information is stored in the optical disk memory 15. Decide whether you want to keep.
[0056]
