Description

CAMERA CAPABLE OF SPECIFYING THE FUNCTION OF A BUTTON}

The present invention relates to a camera that can arbitrarily set a button function, and more specifically, to a camera that can arbitrarily set a button function for setting a function of a user-operated operating device.

As the cameras become more advanced, they are designed not only to improve the quality of shooting but also to realize various functions. Therefore, the user can operate the attached operation key in a set state so that a photographing operation can be performed according to a desired function.

However, it is necessary to select and execute various functions with limited operation keys. Therefore, it is difficult to remember the exact order because the user needs to execute a plurality of operation operations in order to select a desired function.

In addition, even in the case of a user's favorite function, it is necessary to find and set a desired function according to the operation sequence which is set up one by one, and thus, a lot of time and inconvenience occurs according to this, and there is a case of being confused with operation operation of other functions. .

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. 0 The user can arbitrarily set the operation to select the corresponding function, and thus can easily execute the desired function through the operation operation directly designated by the user. It is to provide a camera that can arbitrarily set a button function to make a button.

The constitution of this invention for achieving the above object,

A switch unit for outputting a control signal for executing various functions;

A function setting mode switching unit for converting an operation mode of the camera to input a function operation operation to a switch selected from the switch units;

An operation control unit connected to the switch unit and a function setting mode switching unit, the operation control unit controlling an operation operation to execute a setting function on a switch selected by a user among the switch units according to an operation state of the function setting mode switching unit;

The memory unit is connected to the operation control unit and stores a set function operation operation in a set switch according to a user's operation order.

If the state of the switch selected from the switch unit is a switch that can not give the user's operation function arbitrarily, the operation control unit executes the corresponding function of the selected switch, and a switch that can give the user a function arbitrarily among the switch unit is selected and the camera If the operation mode is not the function setting mode, it is determined whether the function is already set, and if the set function exists, the corresponding function input is performed using the data stored in the memory unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the most preferred embodiment that can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

1 is a block diagram of a control device capable of arbitrarily setting a button function according to an embodiment of the present invention;

2 is an operational flowchart of a control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

With reference to the accompanying Figure 1 describes a structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, a switch unit 1 for outputting a control signal for executing various functions, and

A function setting mode switch SW1 for converting an operation mode of the camera to set a function to a corresponding switch of the switch unit 1,

The function connected to the switch unit 1 and the function setting mode switch SW1 so that a function can be set on the switch of the switch unit 1 selected by the user according to the operation state of the function setting mode switch SW1. The control unit 2,

A memory unit 3 connected to the operation control unit 2 and storing a function set in a switch of the selected switch unit 1;

A menu display device 4 is connected to the operation control unit 2 and displays an operation menu of a camera so that a setting function can be input to a set switch.

The menu display device 4 consists of a liquid crystal display device.

The operation of the present invention consisting of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when power required for the operation of each device is supplied, operation starts (S10).

Therefore, the operation control unit 2 reads the signal input from the switch unit 1 (S11), and determines whether there is a switch selected by the user (S12).

Therefore, when the state of any one switch of the switch unit 1 is selected by the user, the operation control unit 2 determines whether the selected switch is a switch capable of executing the corresponding function by inputting the function operation sequence arbitrarily (S13). ).

That is, in the case of the photographing switch for the photographing operation or the power switch for supplying the power required for the operation, it is a special switch which cannot execute the function setting operation by the user, and thus the function setting cannot be executed.

Therefore, when the switch of the switch unit 1 selected by the user is a switch which cannot be arbitrarily assigned by the user, the function of the selected switch is executed (S14). However, in the case where the selected switch is a switch capable of granting a function setting arbitrarily, the signal input from the function setting mode switch SW1 is read (S15), and the function setting mode switch SW1 is turned on by the user. It is determined whether the operation mode of the camera is an operation mode for giving a function setting to a user's setting switch arbitrarily (S16).

Therefore, when the determined operation mode of the camera is a function setting mode by the ON operation of the function setting mode switch SW1, the operation control unit 2 may select and assign a process capable of executing a function corresponding to the set switch. The menu is output to the menu display device 4 (17). Therefore, the user sequentially selects the execution order of the functions to be executed according to the output menu, and the order according to the selection operation is sequentially stored in the memory unit 3 (S18).

Accordingly, when the operation operation for executing the corresponding function is completed, the memory unit 3 stores the selected switch and the sequential operation order for executing the selected operation in the order in which the user operates.

Therefore, when only the selected switch of the switch unit 1 is operated, the user can automatically execute a desired function using the data stored in the memory unit 3 according to the input operation sequence without a separate operation sequence.

However, in the step S16, when the state of the function setting mode switch SW1 is in the off state and the operation mode of the camera is a user and cannot set the function, the operation control unit 2 switches the selected switch unit 1. In step S19, it is determined whether the function has already been set.

Therefore, when the selected switch of the switch unit 1 is a switch that has already been given a function by the user, the function set according to the data already stored in the memory unit 3 is executed (S20).

Therefore, the user can execute the desired function immediately without going through complicated operation steps with only one switch operation.

Therefore, the effect of the present invention, which operates as described above, can easily execute an operation capable of executing a desired function through many operation processes with only one switch operation, thereby improving user convenience and shortening operation time.

In addition, since an operation sequence of a desired function or a frequently used function is already input, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation due to confusion of the operation sequence each time it is executed.
