Description

  The present invention relates to a technique particularly suitable for reproducing and displaying an image automatically captured by a function of a camera.

  In recent years, wearable cameras equipped with a plurality of sensors have appeared, and a technique for automatically capturing images according to the measurement results of the sensors is known.

  For example, as a technique on the photographing side, as described in JP-A-2006-119624, acceleration, various speeds, and atmospheric pressures related to a bicycle driver in order to photograph a landscape while traveling by bicycle more appropriately. A technique has been proposed in which a physical quantity such as the above is measured, the driver's state is evaluated based on the measured physical quantity, and automatic photographing is controlled according to the evaluation result.

  Further, as a technique on the reproduction side, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-259028, an image automatically captured by a drive recorder is arranged in a window for a plurality of frames, and an opportunity for capturing the image is taken as a frame image. There has been proposed a technique for displaying in association with each other. The opportunity for taking a picture indicates, for example, that the picture is taken when the acceleration sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold, and the mark “G” indicating acceleration and the acceleration value are reproduced in association with the frame image. There are many shooting opportunities in addition to acceleration, such as when an instruction is received from an external device or when an emergency switch is pressed. The user can play back thumbnail images by narrowing down these conditions. Since the mark “G” indicating the shooting opportunity and the acceleration value are displayed in the plurality of reproduced frame images, it is possible to know in what state the image was shot.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-117998 proposes a technique for displaying a violation or dangerous driving mark on a map in a drive recorder. That is, an image in a case where a predetermined trigger condition is satisfied is recorded on a memory card from a moving image that is continuously photographed. The trigger conditions are gravity acceleration information detected from an acceleration sensor, speed information detected from a vehicle speed sensor, and the like, and values corresponding to traffic violations and dangerous driving are used as trigger conditions. Therefore, the value is displayed together with the mark so that it can be easily understood where the speed has been exceeded, sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, etc. on the map.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating one screen when an application program dedicated to the digital camera 10 installed in the smartphone 50 in advance is activated. The figure shows a state in which a screen for setting shooting conditions for automatic shooting with the digital camera 10 is opened.

  Here, shooting conditions when a user who uses the digital camera 10 in cycling wears the camera unit 10A on an upper body, for example, a cycle helmet, are set. Specific items include “ride posture”, “acceleration” He cited “change”, “cadence”, “heart rate”, “up”, “down”, “approach to others”, and “cornering”.

  “Riding posture” indicates that the vehicle is in a dancing state, and the state is determined from the detection outputs of the three-axis acceleration sensor 14 and the gyro sensor 15, and the initial state when the state becomes that state. Automatic shooting at the timing.

  The “acceleration change” is to determine sudden acceleration or sudden deceleration from the detection output of the triaxial acceleration sensor 14, and set a threshold value for acceleration and perform automatic photographing at a timing exceeding the threshold value.

  “Cadence” indicates the number of revolutions per minute of the pedal crank of the bicycle, and is determined from detection outputs of the triaxial acceleration sensor 14 and the gyro sensor 15, and at a timing exceeding a preset number of revolutions. Perform automatic shooting.

  “Heart rate” is a value obtained by receiving a signal from an electrocardiogram chest belt worn by the user by the short-range wireless communication unit 17 via the short-range communication antenna 21 and counting a heart rate. Automatic shooting is performed when the threshold is exceeded.

  “Climb” and “Descent” are calculated from the degree of change in altitude information over time of the current position obtained by the GPS antenna 20 and the GPS receiver 12, respectively. Then, automatic shooting is performed at the timing when the inclination becomes higher than that.

  The “approach to other person” is a person recognition process for the monitor-state image obtained by the photographing unit 55. When a person is reflected in the image, the approach distance is closer than a preset distance. Automatic shooting is performed at the timing. In addition, “approaching with another person” can be performed wirelessly. Specifically, by using the Bluetooth (registered trademark) LE technology and exchanging the electric field strength information without prior pairing, it is possible to determine that a certain value has been approached.

  “Cornering” is determined from the detection output of the three-axis acceleration sensor 14, and a threshold value for acceleration is set, and automatic shooting is performed at a timing exceeding the threshold value in directions other than the direction in which gravitational acceleration is obtained. “Cornering” can also be detected by using an angular velocity based on the output of the gyro sensor 15.

  FIG. 3 shows an example in which “boarding posture”, “heart rate”, and “descent” are set as automatic photographing conditions.

  The user can arbitrarily select which condition is set to ON, that is, which sensor is activated.

  As the “heart rate”, for example, 110 [bpm] (110 beats per minute) can be set, and as “downward”, for example, a downward slope can be set as 10 [%]. As for other conditions, it is assumed that the threshold value can be appropriately varied as well as simply turned on / off.

  Further, the on / off of the automatic photographing condition does not simply correspond to the on / off of the sensor on a one-to-one basis. A plurality of sensing information can be extracted from one sensor, and one imaging condition can be obtained by calculating sensing information of the plurality of sensors. For example, brightness measurement information can be extracted from a solid-state imaging device, and color measurement information can be extracted.

  In addition to the above items, for example, every time the altitude information (elevation) in the current position obtained by the GPS antenna 20 and the GPS receiver 12 becomes a preset good unit, for example, 100 [m], automatic shooting is performed. May be performed.

The shooting conditions set by the smartphone 50 in this manner are transmitted to the camera unit 10A via the main body unit 10B and set, so that the camera unit 10A automatically takes a picture when the set shooting conditions are met. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the contents of the automatic shooting process executed under the control of the shooting control unit 16 in the camera unit 10A of the digital camera 10.

  At the beginning, the shooting control unit 16 determines whether or not at least one of one or a plurality of shooting conditions set by the smartphone 50 is satisfied based on detection outputs of the set various sensors. (Step S101). If it is determined that the shooting condition is not satisfied (No in step S101), the shooting control unit 16 returns to the process of step S101 again. In this step S101, the shooting conditions that are set to OFF in FIG. 3 are not determined.

  By repeatedly executing the determination in step S101 in this manner, the imaging control unit 16 waits for the set imaging condition to be satisfied.

  Next, when it is determined that the set shooting condition is satisfied (Yes in Step S101), the shooting control unit 16 determines whether continuous or overlapping automatic shooting is not performed in the same state ( Step S102). In other words, the shooting control unit 16 determines whether or not a predetermined time, for example, 30 [seconds] has elapsed since the previous automatic shooting when the same shooting condition was satisfied.

  The determination as to whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed may be made on the smartphone 50 side and a shooting instruction may be sent to the shooting control unit 16.

  Here, after executing automatic shooting from the same shooting conditions, if it is determined that the above-mentioned fixed time has not yet elapsed and continuous or overlapping automatic shooting is performed in the same state (No in step S102), the shooting control unit Step 16 returns to the processing from step S101 again without performing the photographing operation.

  In step S102, after executing the automatic shooting from the same shooting condition, if the predetermined time has elapsed and it is determined that the automatic shooting is not continuous or overlapping in the same state (Yes in step S102), The imaging control unit 16 again executes an automatic imaging operation by the imaging unit 11 (step S103).

  Further, the shooting control unit 16 performs the above automatic shooting on the prescribed metadata based on the Exif (Exchangeable image file format) standard, for example, in an image data file in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format obtained by automatic shooting. The imaging conditions and the detected values (sensor output values) at the time of execution are embedded together with the detected values of other various sensors obtained at that time (step S104). In addition to the detection value, detection values of other various sensors obtained at that time may be included.

  Here, when there are a plurality of shooting conditions when performing the above automatic shooting, the established shooting conditions and detection values thereof are embedded together with detection values of other various sensors.

  Incidentally, the above-mentioned metadata includes the shooting date and time, the manufacturer name of the shooting device, the model name of the shooting device, the resolution of the entire image (image size), the resolution per unit in the horizontal and vertical directions, the shooting direction (azimuth), and the shutter speed. , Aperture F value, ISO sensitivity, photometry mode, presence / absence of flash, exposure correction step value, focal length, color space (color space), GPS information, and thumbnail image (160 × 120 pixels) (.bmp).

  As imaging conditions and detection values thereof, for example, when heart rate is 110 [bpm] with a threshold of 126 [bpm], cadence with 100 [rpm] as a threshold and 115 [rpm] is obtained, etc. There can be.

  The imaging control unit 16 embeds the imaging conditions in the image data file along with the Exif metadata, and then transmits the image data file to the main body unit 10B to be recorded in the recording unit 34 of the main body unit 10B ( Step S105).

  In this way, when the predetermined shooting conditions are satisfied and the series of processing from automatic shooting to recording is completed, the shooting control unit 16 proceeds to the processing from step S101 to prepare for the next automatic shooting. Return.

  The photographing control unit 16 executes automatic photographing based on the processing of FIG. 4 described above, and an image data file obtained by photographing is accumulated and recorded in the recording unit 34 as needed.

  Further, when the user holds the smartphone 50 in which the application program dedicated to the digital camera 10 is installed in the vicinity of the main body 10B of the digital camera 10, the image data file recorded in the recording unit 34 is automatically The data is transferred and recorded in a predetermined data folder on the smartphone 50 side, for example, an image data folder dedicated to the digital camera 10 of a memory card inserted in the memory card slot 69. An application program dedicated to the digital camera 10 is installed in the smartphone 50. The image data file recorded in the recording unit 34 is automatically transferred to and recorded on a predetermined data folder on the smartphone 50 side, for example, the image data folder on a memory card installed in the memory card slot 69.

  Next, processing contents when the album image is played back by the smartphone 50 in accordance with the application program dedicated to the digital camera 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The application program is read out from the program memory 53 by the CPU 51, developed on the work memory 52, and executed.

  When the application program is started up, the CPU 51 reads the image file data stored in the predetermined image data folder of the memory card mounted in the memory card slot 69 in order from the latest shooting date / time data, so that the album A top list image is created and displayed on the display unit 56 (step S301).

  FIG. 6 illustrates a state in which the album top list image is displayed. Here, an example of a screen when the setting for collecting and displaying images in units of dates is selected is shown. Each image is displayed as a list using thumbnail images in the metadata of each recorded image. When each image was shot by automatic shooting, the shooting conditions were set at the lower end of the image. Factors are displayed with specific numerical values.

  For example, the image in the upper left corner indicates that the heart rate value has been automatically taken by detecting that the heart rate value has exceeded the threshold value, and displays the heart symbol symbol and the heart rate value “110 [bpm]”. .

  In addition, the image in the center of the top, located to the right of the above, was taken automatically by detecting that the cadence exceeded the threshold value and the heart rate value also exceeded the threshold value. The numerical value of “110 [rpm]” and the heart-shaped symbol symbol and the numerical value of heart rate “115 [bpm]”.

  As described above, if the imaging condition is “altitude information (elevation)”, the symbol symbol and altitude value ([m]) of the mountain are displayed. [Km / h]) is added to the lower end of each corresponding image and displayed, and under what shooting conditions the images were automatically shot, and values exceeding the shooting conditions at that time It is possible to display how many were there at a glance.

  From a state in which the album top image group is displayed as a list, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the screen has been scrolled based on a detection signal from the touch input unit 57 (step S302).

  If it is determined that the screen has not been scrolled (No in step S302), the CPU 51 further determines whether a menu item for shifting to the map display mode for designating the date / time range has been designated (step S303).

  The map display mode for specifying the date and time range can be selected by touching a symbol “「 ”for displaying various menus to the right of“ Album Top ”at the top of FIG.

  If it is determined that there is no menu item for shifting to the map display mode for specifying the date and time range (No in step S303), the CPU 51 returns to the processing from step S302.

  Thus, the CPU 51 waits until the screen is scrolled or the map display mode for specifying the date and time range is specified by repeatedly executing the processes of steps S302 and S303.

  If it is determined in step S302 that the screen has been scrolled (Yes in step S302), the CPU 51 determines the scroll amount based on the detection signal from the touch input unit 57 and then displays a list image for the scroll amount. The range to be moved is moved (step S304), and the process returns to step S302.

  In addition, although FIG. 6 demonstrated the case where the thumbnail image of the some picked-up image was displayed as a list in the display part 56 of the smart phone 50, this invention is not limited to this, For example, in apparatuses with limited display capacity, such as a list terminal Alternatively, thumbnail images may be displayed one by one together with symbols and the like that have become shooting shutter triggers, and images to be sequentially displayed may be changed and updated by scrolling the screen.

  If it is determined in step S303 that the menu item for shifting to the map display mode for specifying the date / time range has been specified (Yes in step S303), the CPU 51 displays the start date / time and end date / time of the range on the display unit 56. This is accepted by the display and touch operation on the touch input unit 57 (step S305).

  In accordance with the received map range designation, the CPU 51 reads out all the images corresponding to the shooting date and time in the range from the corresponding image folder in the memory card inserted in the memory card slot 69, and also combines the Exif. Depending on the GPS information included in the metadata of the map, the required map range, specifically the latitude and longitude, the difference between the minimum and maximum values of each, the map that needs to be larger The range is calculated (step S306).

  Next, the CPU 51 acquires necessary map information from a server device registered in advance via the communication interface 59, develops and creates a map image, and displays it on the display unit 56 (step S307).

  Furthermore, the CPU 51 sets each image at a corresponding position on the image displayed on the display unit 56 based on the GPS information and the shooting condition information in the Exif metadata added to the image data in step S306. The symbols of the shooting conditions are superimposed and displayed (step S308).

  Then, the CPU 51 determines whether or not an operation for canceling the map display mode has been performed (step S309). This is determined, for example, by displaying an arrow “←” in the left direction on the left side of the upper end of the screen and operating the arrow.

  If it is determined that the operation for canceling the map display mode has not been performed (No in step S309), the CPU 51 further determines whether one of the symbol symbols of arbitrary shooting conditions on the map image has been designated. (Step S310).

  If it is determined that the symbol symbol of the shooting condition on the map image has not been designated (No in step S310), the CPU 51 returns to the processing from step S309.

  In this way, the CPU 51 waits for an operation for canceling the map display mode or for designating the symbol symbol of the shooting condition on the map image while repeatedly executing the processes of steps S309 and S310.

  If it is determined in step S310 that one of the symbol symbols of any shooting condition on the map image has been designated (Yes in step S310), the CPU 51 displays the shot image corresponding to the symbol symbol immediately below the map image. (Step S311), the process returns to step S309.

  FIG. 7 illustrates an image displayed on the display unit 56 by the process of step S311. Here, an example is shown in which the designated and operated image is arranged and displayed immediately below the map image MI. That is, the symbol symbol HC of “Climbing slope” and the numerical value “(Climbing slope) 10.5 [%]” are attached to the image and displayed together with the detection values of other various sensors obtained at that time. It is possible to present in an extremely easy-to-understand manner what photographing conditions the image was automatically photographed and what other conditions were.

  If it is determined in step S309 that an operation for canceling the map display mode has been performed (Yes in step S309), the CPU 51 returns to the process from step S301.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where a user who uses the digital camera 10 in cycling is used as an example. However, the usage of the digital camera 10 and how to set the conditions for the shutter trigger for shooting in automatic shooting are described. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in diving, it is conceivable to perform automatic photographing by detecting a change in water pressure, a rapid decrease in exposure amount, a stop of the posture of the camera housing, and the like.

  Further, the number of conditions for the shutter trigger is not limited to one, and may be when all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied (AND) or when any of the plurality of conditions is satisfied (OR).

  Furthermore, in the case of the camera 10 in which the camera unit 10A and the main unit 10B are separated as shown in FIG. 1, the conditions for the shutter trigger may be set by the camera unit 10A, or set by the main unit 10B. You may transmit to the part 10A.

  Further, the map image may be created every time the captured image information is displayed, or a map image may be prepared in advance and information indicating the captured position may be superimposed and displayed.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which the symbol symbol of the condition that has become the shutter trigger is displayed at the same time along the edge of the image. However, the present invention does not limit the display mode, and for example, the display is performed. It is possible to add a leader line to the image and display the symbol symbol of the condition that caused the shutter trigger at a distant position, or to display the symbol symbol of the condition that caused the shutter trigger as an index display for a plurality of images. It may be displayed collectively.

  In addition, at first glance, the symbol symbol or the like of the condition that caused the shutter trigger is not displayed, but a click operation is performed on an arbitrary image, or the cursor is moved over the image to become a shutter trigger. It is also conceivable to adopt a configuration in which a symbol symbol or the like of the specified condition appears and is displayed.

  The shutter trigger information associated with the image can be displayed in association with a plurality of conditions as long as the conditions are satisfied within a certain time period related to shooting.

  When browsing the individual images selected by the images, it is possible to display other information in addition to the information on the critical first photographing condition that has led to the automatic photographing. In this case, it is preferable that the information on the critical photographing condition is distinguishable from other symbol symbols, such as a highlight color.

  In addition, about the functional structure of the electronic circuit of the smart phone used in combination with the said digital camera 90, it is the same as that of the smart phone 50 demonstrated in FIG. 2 of the said 1st Embodiment, and the same part uses the same code | symbol The illustration and description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

By sending and setting the shooting conditions set by the smartphone 50 to the digital camera 90, the digital camera 90 can automatically take a picture when the set shooting conditions are met. 6 is a flowchart showing processing contents of automatic shooting executed under the control of the shooting / recording control unit 94 in the digital camera 90.

  At the beginning, the photographing / recording control unit 94 performs photographing at a predetermined frame rate, for example, 30 [frames / second], for monitor display (step S501). In this case, in order to maintain the frame rate, the shutter speed at the time of shooting is set to a speed faster than 1/60 [second], for example, and an aperture value corresponding to the shutter speed is set by automatic exposure processing, and shooting is performed. Is executed.

  In conjunction with the monitor image capturing, the recording / recording control unit 94 receives each sensor output from the sensor terminal 70 side (step S502).

  The imaging / recording control unit 94 executes subject extraction processing by image processing including contour extraction processing, face recognition processing, and person extraction processing from the image data acquired in the immediately preceding step S501 (step S503).

  When a plurality of persons are extracted from the image, the imaging / recording control unit 94 refers to changes with time of the person wearing the sensor terminal 70 based on various sensor outputs acquired in step S502, and A person wearing the terminal 70 is selected and recognized as a subject. Here, the change includes, for example, the magnitude of the amount of movement of the body, the direction of movement in the three-dimensional space, and the like.

  Furthermore, the shooting / recording control unit 94 determines whether or not at least one of the one to a plurality of shooting conditions set by the smartphone 50 is satisfied based on the set sensor outputs (step). S504). Note that it may be determined that the shooting condition is satisfied in the sensor terminal 70 or the smartphone 50 and an automatic shooting instruction signal may be sent to the digital camera 90. In that case, Yes is determined in step S504.

  If it is determined that the shooting condition is not satisfied (No in step S504), the shooting / recording control unit 94 returns to the process from step S501 again. In this step S504, the photographing conditions that are set to OFF are not determined.

  By repeatedly executing the processing in steps S501 to S504 in this way, the shooting / recording control unit 94 waits for the set shooting condition to be satisfied while tracking the subject in the monitor image.

  When it is determined that the set shooting condition is satisfied (Yes in step S504), the shooting record control unit 94 is set in advance from the time when the same shooting condition is satisfied and the previous automatic shooting is performed. It is determined whether or not continuous or overlapping automatic photographing in the same state has been performed depending on whether or not a time, for example, 30 [seconds] has elapsed (step S505).

  The determination as to whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed may be made on the smartphone 50 side and a shooting instruction may be sent to the shooting / recording control unit 94.

  Here, after executing automatic shooting from the same shooting conditions, if it is determined that the above-mentioned fixed time has not yet elapsed and continuous or overlapping automatic shooting is performed in the same state (No in step S504), shooting and recording control is performed. The unit 94 returns to the process from step S501 again without performing the photographing operation.

  In step S504, after the automatic shooting is performed from the same shooting condition, the fixed time has elapsed and it is determined that the automatic shooting is not continuous or overlapping in the same state (Yes in step S504). The shooting control unit 16 determines whether or not the subject is within the shooting angle of view, that is, whether or not the person wearing the sensor terminal 70 can be specified as the subject in the process of step S503 immediately above. Judgment is made (step S506).

  Here, in the immediately preceding step S503, when the person is not recognized at all, or when the person who is the subject cannot be specified from a plurality of persons, the subject is not within the shooting angle of view. When the determination is made (No in step S506), the photographing / recording control unit 94 returns to the processing from step S501 in order to avoid useless photographing operations.

  If it is determined in step S506 that the person who is the subject has been identified (Yes in step S506), the photographing / recording control unit 94 performs a necessary zooming process (step S507).

  In this case, zooming processing according to the prior zoom setting is performed. For example, when the subject is located at the center of the shooting range and the shooting unit 91 has a zoom lens capable of continuously changing the focal length, the shot distance is increased by the optical zoom function. Set the subject inside larger.

  Conversely, when the subject is located at the end of the shooting range, the body or face is only partially captured, and the shooting unit 91 has a zoom lens that can continuously change the focal length. In such a case, the focal length is reduced (the shooting angle of view is increased) by the optical zoom function so that the subject is surely included in the shot image.

  Further, even when the photographing unit 91 is a single focus lens that cannot perform optical zoom, the image size of the photographed image set at that time is compared with the configuration of the number of pixels of the solid-state imaging device that the photographing unit 91 has. If it is sufficiently small, an effect similar to that of the optical zoom can be achieved by executing a so-called digital zoom process in which the range of an image to be cut out from the image data obtained by the photographing unit 91 is changed.

  The optical zoom and the digital zoom may be executed in combination.

  Furthermore, in combination with a scene program function that sets multiple image compositions in advance, it is possible to set not only the subject at the center of the image but also zoom processing that takes into account the positional relationship with the background. Good.

  In step S507, after appropriately performing the zooming process based on the preset content, the shooting / recording control unit 94 again causes the shooting unit 91 to execute an automatic shooting operation (step S508).

  Further, the shooting / recording control unit 94 adds, for example, a JPEG format image data file obtained by automatic shooting, along with specified metadata based on the Exif standard, and shooting conditions and detection thereof when the automatic shooting is performed. A value (sensor output value) is embedded (step S509). The detection values of other various sensors obtained at that time may be included together with the detection values.

  Here, when there are a plurality of shooting conditions when performing the above automatic shooting, the established shooting conditions and detection values thereof are embedded together with detection values of other various sensors.

  Incidentally, the above-mentioned metadata includes the shooting date and time, the manufacturer name of the shooting device, the model name of the shooting device, the resolution of the entire image (image size), the resolution per unit in the horizontal and vertical directions, the shooting direction (azimuth), and the shutter speed. , Aperture F value, ISO sensitivity, photometry mode, presence / absence of flash, exposure correction step value, focal length, color space (color space), GPS information, and thumbnail image (160 × 120 pixels) (.bmp).

  The shooting / recording control unit 94 that embeds the shooting conditions in the image data file accompanying the Exif metadata transmits the image data file to the external smartphone 50 and also records it in the recording unit 95 in the digital camera 90. (Step S510).

  In this way, when a series of processing from when automatic shooting is performed after the predetermined shooting conditions are satisfied and recording is completed, the shooting / recording control unit 94 performs the processing from step S501 to prepare for the next automatic shooting. Return.

  In this way, automatic shooting is executed based on the processing of FIG. 9, and an image data file obtained by shooting is transmitted to the smartphone 50 and is also accumulated and recorded in the recording unit 95 as needed.

  When the user of the digital camera 90 holds the smartphone 50 installed with the application program dedicated to the digital camera 90 in the vicinity of the digital camera 90, the image data file transmitted from the digital camera 90 is stored on the smartphone 50 side. The data is recorded in a predetermined data folder, for example, an image data folder dedicated to the digital camera 90 of the memory card inserted in the memory card slot 69.

  Next, referring to FIG. 10, when the album image is played back on the smartphone 50 in accordance with the application program dedicated to the digital camera 90, a process for creating a list image that initially becomes the album top and displaying it on the display unit 56 is performed. Will be explained.

  This application program is read out from the program memory 53 by the CPU 51 and executed after being expanded and held on the work memory 52. The application program corresponds to a subroutine showing further detailed processing in step S301 in FIG. To do.

  At the start of the application program, the CPU 51 has not yet selected the shooting date / time data in the new order in the image file data stored in the predetermined image data folder of the memory card inserted in the memory card slot 69. One of them is selected (step S701).

  The CPU 51 determines whether or not selection of all image data has been completed depending on whether or not there is no unselected image data due to this selection (step S702).

  When there is image data to be selected (No in step S702), the CPU 51 determines whether there is the selected image data and other image data (step S703). The other image data is already set as a part of the album top image in the same time zone, the same shooting condition, and the same composition.

  Here, when it is determined that there is other image data that has already been set for display in which the selected image data matches the same time zone, shooting conditions, and the same composition (Yes in step S703), the album top A similar image already exists as an image to be displayed.

  For this purpose, the CPU 51 sets incidental information so that a symbol mark indicating that there is a related image is displayed in a part of the image data that has already been set for display, and the image data selected immediately before is displayed. On the other hand, a non-display setting is performed to avoid displaying duplicate images in the album top (step S704).

  If it is determined in step S703 that there is no other image data that has already been set for display, the selected image data matches the same time zone, shooting conditions, and the same composition (No in step S703). A similar image in the album top is not yet set to be displayed.

  For this purpose, the CPU 51 sets the image data selected immediately before to be displayed (step S705).

  After the processing of step S704 or S705, the CPU 51 performs the setting that has been set for the display / non-display for the selected image data (step S706), and sets other image data that has not been selected yet. In order to be prepared, the processing returns to step S701.

  In this manner, the CPU 51 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S701 to S706 to set display / non-display of all image data recorded on the memory card inserted in the memory card slot 69.

  The CPU 51 performs display / non-display setting and selected setting for the last image data with the oldest shooting date / time data, and then there is no image data to be selected in step S702 through the processing in step S701. (Yes in step S702), a list image that is the album top as shown in FIG. 6 is created and displayed on the display unit 56 (step S707). In this case, the CPU 51 uses the thumbnail image data of each of the image data selected to be displayed to create a list image that becomes the album top and displays it on the display unit 56. As described above, the CPU 51 ends the processing of the subroutine shown in FIG. 10 and shifts to the processing of step S302 shown in FIG. 5 in order to accept the operation on the album top image.

  As described above in detail, in the present embodiment, a person wearing a sensor terminal 70 having a plurality of sensors is used as a subject, and automatic shooting is surely performed by the digital camera 90 so that the subject falls within the shooting angle of view. be able to.

  Since the image data obtained by photographing with the digital camera 90 and the sensor output and other sensor output data as photographing conditions are all transferred to the smartphone 50 and post-processing such as image reproduction is performed by the smartphone 50, the digital camera 90 can reduce the processing load by focusing only on the shooting operation.

  Although not shown in the above embodiment, in the digital camera 90, the captured image data and various sensor output data including shooting conditions are transferred to the external smartphone 50 in a state where the data is not converted into a data file and received. The processing load on the digital camera 90 can be further reduced by executing a process for creating a data file such as creation of Exif data again on the smartphone 50 side.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in automatic shooting, the person wearing the sensor terminal 70 is taken as a subject, and image shooting is performed with zooming processing according to the position of the subject. In addition to setting to position the subject, automatic shooting is performed according to the preset intention, such as setting the subject to be small so that it corresponds to one of several pre-selected compositions It becomes possible to make it.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the sensor terminal 70 is provided with the GPS receiving unit 71 and the GPS antenna 80 has been described. Therefore, as one of the shooting conditions, a point where automatic shooting is performed is set as a pinpoint or a range. Can do.

  Therefore, automatic shooting can be surely performed by setting in advance accurate position information of a point where shooting is desired.

  In addition, by limiting the number of times of automatic shooting to one so that the automatic shooting when the subject exists within a predetermined range and other shooting conditions are satisfied from the position information is not repeated, the same It is possible to avoid a situation where a similar image is automatically shot in the area.

  In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that various shooting conditions are arbitrarily set based on an application installed in advance by the smartphone 50. However, a similar application program is used for the type of subject to be shot (person / person (Pet, etc.) and shooting environment and usage (for example, mountain climbing, trekking, cycling, fishing, diving, golf, etc.), multiple application programs can be selected by selecting one of these application programs. It is also conceivable that the shooting conditions corresponding to are fixed to some extent.

  In this way, it is possible to efficiently set the conditions for automatic shooting, saving time and effort, in the same way as shooting selection by the scene program.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, the embodiments may be implemented in combination as appropriate, and in that case, the combined effect can be obtained. Furthermore, the present invention includes various inventions, and various inventions can be extracted by combinations selected from a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if several constituent requirements are deleted from all the constituent requirements shown in the embodiment, if the problem can be solved and an effect can be obtained, the configuration from which the constituent requirements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
