Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of schematic configuration of literal input mechanism of the mobile terminal device of the expression embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 is the stereoscopic figure of this mobile terminal device.This mobile terminal device 1 (Fig. 2) is the mobile phone of band camera function, and literal input mechanism 2 (Fig. 1) has image pickup part 3, motion-vector test section 4, key operation portion 5, literal input determination portion 6 and display part 7.
Image pickup part 3 is parts of taking still frame and animation, is made of image sensors such as optical lens, CCD or CMOS, drive circuit etc., and its image output is by various forms such as boil down to JPEG of compressor circuit portion (not shown) or MPEG.
Motion-vector test section 4 is to export the parts that detect motion-vector according to the image of image pickup part 3, and particularly, the relativeness of the image of interframe is calculated and moved to which direction at front and back interframe image before and after utilizing.In this motion-vector test section 4, a part is also used as the addressable part that is used for the animation compression when sending animation and the motion-vector testing circuit (detecting the motion-vector of each macro block unit of picture) prepared.
Here, use block diagram shown in Figure 3, the structure example of motion-vector test section 4 is described.
Carry out the A/D conversion from the picture intelligence of image pickup part 3 outputs by A/D converter 41, these signals store in the preceding frame block storage 42 by each macro block unit of picture.Parallel therewith, pixel walking circuit 43 is taken into the picture intelligence that pixel location (address) from each macro block moves to the pixel of moving direction each position different with amount of movement, these signals is input in the absolute value summing circuit 44 of next stage.In absolute value summing circuit 44, by each macro block unit, obtain the former frame that frame block storage 42 in the past reads each macro block the pixel absolute value and make the summation of pixel absolute value of each macro block of the next frame that pixel location moves with pixel shifter 43.
In each piece minimum detection circuit 45 of next stage, after the minimum value of the absolute value summation of obtaining each macro block, detect motion-vector.Then, in the averaging circuit 46 of next stage, by in picture the motion-vector value equalization of each macro block, and as the motion-vector of whole image.
In motion-vector test section 4, the part from A/D converter 41 to absolute value summing circuit 44 is as the addressable part that is used for animation compression and holds a concurrent post the circuit part of the circuit that mobile phone had that drives the picture function.In view of the above, can simplify the structure of motion-vector test section 4, can reduce cost.
In addition, use block diagram shown in Figure 4, other structure example of motion-vector test section 4 are described.It should be noted that more specific description is carried out in No. the 2641599th, patent, so be only limited to simple declaration following.
In the present example, by the representative point matching method that in manual correction, uses, detect the motion-vector of whole image.Be that the representative point matching method is to set a plurality of representative points in picture, the signal value of the representative point of storage former frame, and obtain absolute value with the difference of the signal value of the representative point that is positioned at present frame pixel on every side, according to this absolute value, detect the method for motion-vector.
More specifically, as shown in Figure 4, carry out the A/D conversion from the picture intelligence of image pickup part 3 output by A/D converter 41 after, frame representative point memory 42A and absolute value circuit 44A before offering.
The signal value of the representative point of the former frame in preceding frame representative point memory 42A before storage 1 frame, use absolute value circuit 44A, obtain absolute value of each difference of the representative point of each pixel that is positioned at the address space identical distance and former frame according to the representative point that behind 1 frame is present frame with the table 47 that adds up.
Then, on the corresponding address of table 47 that adds up, the add up some fractional part of representative point of this absolute value, in the table comparison circuit 48 of next stage, calculate lowest address with accumulated value, in 1 frame position of image how much to which direction moved be the motion-vector value.
By adopting such structure, the higher motion-vector of precision is detected becomes possibility.In addition, when having the manual correction function in the mobile phone that drives the picture function, can simplify the structure of motion-vector test section 4, reduce cost by the part of dual-purpose circuit.
Here, get back to the explanation of Fig. 2.Key operation portion 5 is the input blocks that use in the input such as literal, is made of a plurality of keys, has " 1 "~" 0 " key and other function keys that constitute numerical key, behind the key input coding that the user is pressed, is input to literal input determination portion 6.
Literal input determination portion 6 is according to the expectant control program, and according to from the output of key operation portion 5 with from the output of motion-vector test section 4, selection, conversion and definite parts of the literal of control input are made of control part 61 and storage part 62.Control part 61 is according to the input from key operation portion 5 and motion-vector test section 4, carries out the selection, conversion of literal input pattern, each definite step.In storage part 62,, store the pre-prepd table information (key being imported and detected the matrix that motion-vector and literal are associated) that literal is selected that is used for according to a plurality of literal input patterns.
Display part 7 is to be presented at the parts that carry out by the absent Chinese character that should select in 6 selections of literal input determination portion, conversion, definite each stage etc., in view of the above, carries out interactive literal input operation.It should be noted that the position that image pickup part 3 (Fig. 1) is set can be the operating surface 1a that key operation portion 5 and display part 7 are set, or the back side of operating surface 1a on the main body of mobile terminal device 1.
Below, the literal input operation of mobile terminal device 1 is described with reference to Fig. 2.
At first, make image pickup part 3 work, become shooting and be taken arbitrarily after the pattern of body M, obtain picture intelligence.It should be noted that, in Fig. 2, show the body M that is taken that takes at display part 7, but its purpose is to show literal or its map function of input, so need not show the body M that is taken.This body M that is taken can be arbitrarily basically, has the independent specific body that is taken that moves respectively with personage etc. and compares, and more wishes to move the landscape of almost fixing.In addition, because the dependency relation of the image of interframe before and after in motion-vector detects, utilizing, so can not carry out the adjustment of focal length etc.
Here, in Fig. 2, arrow a~d represents to act on the physics moving direction of mobile terminal device 1, and image representation mobile terminal device 1 (A)~(D) moves (motion-vector) from the image of the body M that is taken that is taken by image pickup part 3 of inactive state when arrow a~d tilts like that.Arrow a represents that the top of mobile terminal device 1 is to the back side one survey inclination, arrow b represents that the right side of mobile terminal device 1 is to the back side one survey inclination, arrow c represents the bottom of mobile terminal device 1 to the back side one survey inclination, and arrow d represents that the left side of mobile terminal device 1 is to the back side one survey inclination.
With mobile corresponding (A) image of arrow a in, move (motion-vector) of image becomes upwards, with mobile corresponding (B) image of arrow b in, motion-vector becomes to the right, with mobile corresponding (C) image of arrow c in, motion-vector becomes downwards, with mobile corresponding (D) image of arrow d in, motion-vector becomes left.Motion-vector test section 4 detects these motion-vectors.
Therefore, when with the motion-vector value of motion-vector test section 4 detected left and right directions and above-below direction during at preset range, for example motion-vector to the right is bigger than predetermined value, the motion-vector of above-below direction is than predetermined value hour, and the literal input determination portion 6 that receives the output of motion-vector test section 4 judges that users have carried out the input of arrow b posture to mobile terminal device 1.
Equally, when at left and right directions and above-below direction, all than predetermined value hour, literal input determination portion 6 judges that mobile terminal devices 1 are " static " to motion-vector.If is the situation of this " static " situation of (O) as motion-vector, by (A), (B), (C), (D) are added this motion-vector (O), can suppose 5 kinds of posture inputs, export these 5 kinds of information to literal input determination portion 6 from motion-vector test section 4.
Below, with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, concrete character input method is described.
Fig. 5, Fig. 6 are the concrete examples of the expression table information corresponding with the literal input pattern.
Matrix table shown in Figure 5 is the example that constitutes according to the alphabet input of using in the universal telephone in the world.For example " J ", " K ", " L " distribute to " 5 " key, thus these three literal distribute to the key input of " 5 " key and (A), the posture input of (B), (C).This literal input pattern is called " map table 1 " pattern.Matrix table shown in Figure 6 is the example that the alphabet input of " 2 touch input " of use in importing according to the literal of the pocket beeper of Japan constitutes.The i.e. input that touches for the second time is transformed to moving of (O), (A), (B), (C), (D), and this literal input pattern is called " map table 2 " pattern.It should be noted that according to carry out the definite of literal input pattern from the input of key operation portion 5, this input pattern shows on display part 7.
In literal input determination portion 6, at first as the input pattern switch step of first step, control part 61 is determined the literal input pattern according to the input from key operation portion 5, shows its input pattern on display part 7.Select in the step at the input characters of conduct second step of following, the table information (matrix) that control part 61 is read this input pattern from storage part 62 is selected literal according to this matrix.Then, in the shift step of following as third step, control part 61 is the text transform of selecting a Chinese character, in the definite step as the 4th step, selects, determines required Chinese character from conversion Chinese character candidate.
Like this, by the processing of literal input determination portion 6 action is divided into the multistage, by carrying out 1 key input and 1 posture input, or carry out the two simultaneously, can select the literal imported, can further improve the operability that literal is imported.
Below, illustrate as situation concrete example, when importing Chinese character " hello ".At first, the function key with key operation portion 5 is set at the literal input pattern " map table 1 ".In " map table 1 " pattern, read the matrix of Fig. 5 from storage part 62 after, become the input holding state.Under this state, if according to the matrix of Fig. 5, select " n " with " 6 " key and the input of posture (B), select " i " with " 4 " key and the input of posture (C), just demonstration " ni " on display part 7.In this case, from the output of key operation portion 5 and independently of one another, so can import simultaneously from the output of motion-vector test section 4.It is 2 times that the key that uses in the input of this " ni " is pressed number of times.
Then, carry out map function with function key (general " to Down Arrow ").Like this, because except " you ", " you " the undesired Chinese characters such as Chinese character in addition with " ni " expression enter candidate sometimes, so for the Chinese character of selecting to determine to want, determine operation (general, as, to determine) with function key with " determining key " with " up-down arrow " selection.
If select " h " with " 4 " key and posture input (B), select " a " with " 2 " key and posture input (A), select " o " with " 6 " key and posture input (C), just on display part 7, show " hao ".It is 3 times that the key that uses in the input of this " hao " is pressed number of times.
Then, carry out map function with function key.Like this, " good " in addition, " good " the undesired Chinese characters such as Chinese character in addition with " hao " expression enter candidate sometimes, so the Chinese character in order to select to determine to want is determined to operate with function key.
Below, the situation when input characters " Hello " is described.At this moment, at first be set at " map table 1 " pattern, matrix according to Fig. 5, select " H " with " 4 " key and the input of posture (B), change to the small letter input pattern with " 8 " key and the input of posture (D), select " e ", select " l " with " 5 " key and the input of posture (C) with " 3 " key and the input of posture (B), select " l " with " 5 " key and the input of posture (C), select " o " with " 6 " key and the input of posture (C).At this moment, just can import " Hello " by 6 buttons.
It should be noted that, when map table 2 patterns, according to the matrix input of Fig. 6.At this moment, can switch capitalization input and small letter input by the function of use bond energy.
If conclude above action, then can be by changing the angle of mobile terminal device 1 with respect to the body that is taken, change the camera angle of the body 1 that is taken, the variation of camera angle is considered as the mobile of body M that be taken, detect motion-vector, can be that posture replaces key operation with respect to the angle of the body that is taken with changing mobile terminal device 1, can carry out reliable literal input, can improve the operability of literal input with minimal key operation number of times.
It should be noted that in the above description, posture is input as 5 kinds, but this is the result who simplifies in order to reduce flase drop to survey, except static, about, up and down, can comprise moving of incline direction etc. wherein, to increase the kind of posture input as a kind of of posture input.
In addition, in the above description, the situation of carrying out the operation of key operation and posture simultaneously is described, but also can for example behind key operation, carries out the posture operation not simultaneously.Which at this moment, also consider to append: behind key operation, on display part 7, show with posture operation then to select literal; Or set when being used for not having posture to import during certain, it is judged to be the time-out time of (O) posture.
In addition, in mobile terminal device shown in Figure 21, the back side one side that is illustrated in the operating surface 1a that key operation portion 5 and display part 7 are set is provided with the example of image pickup part 3, but also can be arranged on operating surface 1a one side to image pickup part 3.At this moment, can even mobile terminal device itself is motionless, also can carry out the literal input operation operator self as the body M that is taken with body actions such as shaking the head of operator.
Embodiment 2
Below, in this enforcement side, illustrate that the seasonal effect in time series that detects motion-vector changes after, improve the method for the accuracy of detection of motion-vector.
As described in example 1 above,, compare, more wish to have only the scene of the fixedly landscape that does not almost move with the scene that has mobile objects such as the personage that is moved respectively or animal as the body M that is taken that takes with image pickup part 3.Its reason is: if mobile object is present in the image pickup scope, detect the motion-vector corresponding with this mobile object sometimes.As a result, the flase drop of motion-vector is surveyed to be increased, and accuracy of detection descends., even select to have only the body that is taken of landscape, because human or animal etc. cross image pickup scope, the flase drop of the vector that is moved is sometimes surveyed.
Fig. 7 is the figure that changes the time of expression motion-vector, and the longitudinal axis is a motion-vector, and transverse axis is the time.For example when selecting landscape when being taken body, perhaps when mobile terminal device 1 self is static, suppose the situation that mobile object such as people's grade crosses the image pickup scope of image pickup part 3.At this moment, the detected state of motion-vector is shown in Fig. 7 (A), and at (a) regularly, mobile object enters the image pickup scope of image pickup part 3, leaves image pickup scope constantly at (b).When crossing before the landscape that mobile object is not almost having to move like this, detected motion-vector becomes and has only a direction.
And Fig. 7 (B) expression selects landscape as being taken body, for the user carries out the literal input operation, makes mobile terminal device 1 resemble among Fig. 2 the detected state of the motion-vector when mobile arrow a~d.After the user for example resembled mobile terminal device 1 to move the arrow b, the display part 7 for the state of confirming display text input or conversion action made mobile terminal device 1 move to the direction opposite with arrow b again.Promptly regularly, begin to make portable terminal 1 to move, finish this action constantly at (d) to the direction of arrow b at (c).Then, portable terminal 1 beginning is moved to the direction opposite with arrow b, at (f) constantly, finish this action at (e).Like this, when carrying out the literal input, at first detect the motion-vector of certain direction, then, detect opposite motion-vector.
Therefore, handle, can differentiate flase drop survey that interference causes and user's literal input operation by the detection of carrying out motion-vector with flow process shown in Figure 8.
At first, detect the motion-vector of scheduled volume in step 1.Then in step 2, set the timer of scheduled period, during timer in, judge whether detect and the reverse motion-vector (step S3, S4) of motion-vector that in step 1, detects.When detecting reverse motion-vector, be judged as user's literal input operation (step S5).
By such after detecting a motion-vector on the direction, the situation that detects reverse motion-vector in the scheduled period is judged as user's literal input operation, can reduce the flase drop of motion-vector and survey, and can improve the precision of detection.
In handling process shown in Figure 8, after the motion-vector of step 1 detects, in step 2, set timer., with the input of posture that mobile terminal device 1 is moved simultaneously, or before the posture input, have input, from the input of the numerical key corresponding with matrix shown in Figure 5 from the function key that is used for determining the literal input pattern.Therefore, also can carry out the setting of timer these key inputs as triggering.
The storage part 62 that the cell-phone terminal device of present embodiment for example makes literal shown in Figure 1 import determination portion 6 has the function at the detected motion-vector of scheduled period stored.Promptly according to handling process shown in Figure 8, the motion-vector that use is detected by motion-vector test section 4, be stored in the motion-vector of table information in the storage part 62, storage, from the input of key operation portion 5, by control part 62 carry out literal input pattern, selection, conversion, each step such as determine.It should be noted that, except storage part 62, also can be provided for storage part (not shown) at the detected motion-vector of scheduled period stored.
Embodiment 3
In the present embodiment, illustrate frame is divided into a plurality of zones,, improve the method for the accuracy of detection of motion-vector by using the frequency distribution of the detected motion-vector in ground, region-by-region.
At first, frame is divided into a plurality of zones, Fig. 9 (A) represents entire frame, and Fig. 9 (B) expression is divided into for example state of 16 parts to the frame of Fig. 9 (A).It should be noted that the number of cutting apart of frame also can be beyond 16, the regional shape of each that cut apart also can be the shape beyond the rectangle in addition.
Then, cut zone ground detects motion-vector one by one.When Figure 10 (A) is illustrated in the posture input, the detected state of the motion-vector when mobile object crosses image pickup scope.In addition, during the input of Figure 10 (B) expression posture, the detected state of the motion-vector when not having mobile object in the image pickup scope.In Figure 10 (A), mobile object occupies 9 upper left zones, and other 7 remaining zones are backgrounds.It is the ratio background height that mobile object accounts for entire frame.Therefore, at this moment detect in the method for peak-peak, detect the motion-vector corresponding with mobile object in frequency distribution according to motion-vector.
, when the situation shown in Figure 10 (A), detect two motion-vectors of existence in this frame, these two motion-vectors are as the candidate of two motion-vectors representing this frame.And, if be present in frame before or after the frame shown in Figure 10 (A) in time if the frame shown in Figure 10 (B), then by relatively both, the motion-vector that can detect the frame of representing Figure 10 (A) is a motion-vector to the right.Promptly in each frame, detect two peak values of the frequency distribution of motion-vector,, judge which is the motion-vector of this frame of representative in two motion-vectors by comparing with the frame that is positioned at front and back in time.By this processing, even there is mobile object etc., also can reduces the flase drop of motion-vector and survey, improve accuracy of detection.
Figure 11 represents the handling process of detection method of the motion-vector of present embodiment.At first, in step 11, detect motion-vector in each zone after frame is cut apart.Then use the motion-vector that in each zone, detects to detect the frequency distribution (step 12) of motion-vector.Whether the frequency distribution peak value that detects motion-vector is 1, and (step 13) when being one, judges that detected peak value is a motion-vector (step 14) of representing this frame.At this moment, diminish owing to move the confusion that causes, the peak value that can judge detection is the motion-vector corresponding with background.
And in step 13, when the frequency distribution peak value of judging motion-vector was not one, whether detection peak was two (step S15).When peak value is two, with liken in time for the frame of process object forward or lean on after frame relatively, judge which peak value is the motion-vector (step 16) of representative frame.When there are two in peak value, can consider that one is the motion-vector corresponding with background, another is the motion-vector corresponding with mobile object.Therefore, both during as candidate, by be positioned in time before and after frame relatively, carry out the judgement of motion-vector, even for for the frame of process object, the ratio that background accounts for is less, also can detect the motion-vector corresponding with background.Handle by this, the flase drop of motion-vector is surveyed and is reduced, and accuracy of detection improves.
, when the frequency distribution peak value that detects motion-vector in step 15 is 2 when above, the image that is judged as in the frame is disorderly, is judged to be the motion-vector (step 16) that does not detect representative frame.
It should be noted that, in step 16, illustrated and used the picture that is positioned in time as the front and back of the present frame of process object as the frame that is used for comparison, but also can be only with forward in time former frame relatively, in addition, also can be only with lean in time after a back frame relatively.Frame relatively is not limited to as the former frame of the present frame of process object or back one frame, also can be frame before the scheduled time or frame afterwards, or the mean value of the frame of predetermined number.In addition, the motion-vector that can compare representative frame each other, the motion-vector that also comprises of candidate each other or the frequency distribution of motion-vector self.
