Image processing part 24 receives the picture signal of exporting to system bus from image pickup device 10 sides, and implements iso sensitivity setting, Automatic white balance, brightness/chrominance signal generation, gamma processing etc., generates the color picture signal of prescribed form.Color picture signal is converted into and is suitable for showing the form of output and supplies with image displaying part 25, be presented in real time in the display frame shown in Figure 16 as monitoring picture, and be converted into the form that is suitable for writing down, promptly carry out compressed encoding, be recorded in the image recording media 26 as photographed images.The photographed images that is recorded in this image recording media 26 is read by image processing part 24 under image reproduction mode, after implementing the decompression decoding processing, is presented in the display frame 6 by image displaying part 25.
For the effective photographs of search records in this image recording media 26, in this digital camera 100, for example prepare to have two kinds of searching pictures, that is the picture that can utilize unified operation to handle that can use flexibly, according to having or not situations such as grasping total picture number and photography date.And this digital camera 100 has speciality at this searching picture of contact aspect the user interface that provides, below will be elaborated to this.
The 1st method of retrieving images in this digital camera 100 at first, is described.When utilizing the 1st method retrieving images, pattern operating portion 3 is operated, pattern is set at reproduction mode.More particularly, the mark a1 on the pattern operating portion 3 shown in Figure 1 is rotated to aim at chosen position.Notified the view data of CPU21 playback record in image recording media 26 of this operation by main body operating unit 23, and, shown at image displaying part 25 in image processing part 24 reproductions.Fig. 3 is that expression utilizes the 1st method to be presented at the figure of the migration of the searching picture in the display frame 6.
After being set at reproduction mode, CPU21 control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 show display frame 6 as initial picture each image are carried out full frame picture displayed b1.Under this state, by operation XY action button 4, Yi Bian Yi Bian can switch image searched targets image in order one by one.Then, under this state, when (W: when wide-angle direction) zoom operation portion 2 being operated, CPU21 control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 make display frame 6 show the many pictures b2 that 4 images is arranged in 2 rows * 2 row in wide-angle direction by main body operating unit 23 notices.Consequently, by operation XY action button 4, can per four switching images one side searched targets images on one side.
In addition, under this state, when being notified when wide-angle direction is operated zoom operation portion 2 by main body operating unit 23, CPU21 control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 make display frame 6 show the many pictures b3 that 9 images are arranged in 3 rows * 3 row.Consequently, by operation XY action button 4, can per nine switching images one side searched targets images on one side.Equally, when continuing when wide-angle direction is carried out the operation of zoom operation portion 2, CPU21 increases to 16,25 (many pictures b4, b5) with the amount of images of 4 rows * 4 row, 5 rows * 5 row.
On the contrary, under arbitrary state of many pictures b2~b5, when notify the distant place that is visible by main body operating unit 23 to (T: when tele direction) zoom operation portion 2 being operated, CPU21 reduces the picture number that will show according to the order of many pictures b5 → b4 → b3 → b2 → b1.And, in arbitrary many pictures b2~b5, shown target image after, utilize XY action button 4 to make choice box move to this image, and press OK button 5, can directly change the picture b1 that full frame shows this image over to.
That is, the 1st method can change the many pictures total demonstration quantity in showing arbitrarily, is under the situation of total image quantity or forgets the inferior method that relatively is fit to of situation on the photography date of target image.
Below, the 2nd method of retrieving images in this digital camera 100 is described.When utilizing the 2nd method retrieving images, pattern operating portion 3 is operated, pattern is set at calendar mode.More particularly, the sign a2 on the pattern operating portion 3 shown in Figure 1 is rotated to aim at chosen position.The CPU21 that has notified this operation by main body operating unit 23 is the view data of playback record in image recording media 26 at first, and reproduce at image processing part 24, shows at image displaying part 25.Fig. 4 is that expression utilizes the 2nd method to be presented at the figure of the migration of the searching picture in the display frame 6.
When being set to calendar mode, at first, CPU21 control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 as initial picture, make display frame 6 show the calendar picture c2 (being in January, 2004 in this example) of a month unit that comprises the date of carrying out this operation.Be used for showing the view data of this calendar picture and being used to show that the view data of mark described later all is stored in ROM22.When showing this calendar image c2, CPU21 is the representative image of every day, be added on separately position as the downscaled images of the image of typically taking at first the same day.Then, CPU21 moves choice box according to the operation of XY action button 4 in this calendar picture c2.And, date (on January 1~7) the position continuation of the top when operation XY action button 4, switches in December, 2003 upward in picture, and is opposite, when continuing downward direction operation XY action button 4 in date (on January 25~31) position bottom, switch in February, 2004.
Under this state, when being notified when wide-angle direction is operated zoom operation portion 2 by main body operating unit 23, CPU21 control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 make display frame 6 show the calendar picture c3 of the 1 year unit that comprises this month.That is, in the 1st method the operation that increases the amount of images of many pictures, be to increase the chronomere that shows as calendar in the 2nd method.In arbitrary method of the 1st method and the 2nd method, utilize same operation to enlarge range of search, so sensuously also seeing clearly easily.Further, though in the relation of doubly adjusting with the change of lens 11 also corresponding to the operation that enlarges image pickup scope, so say from this point and sensuously also to see clearly easily.
If operated XY action button 4, then CPU21 switched this calendar picture c3 with 1 year before and after the unit, and, when continuing when wide-angle direction is operated zoom operation portion 2, control image processing part 24 and image displaying part 25 make display frame 6 show the calendar picture c4 of several years (being 3 years) comprising this year herein.
On the contrary, under arbitrary state of calendar picture c2~c4, when the distant place that is visible by main body operating unit 23 notice to (T: when tele direction) zoom operation portion 2 being operated, CPU21 reduces the chronomere that will show according to the order of calendar picture c4 → c3 → c2 → c1.And, after arbitrary calendar picture c2~c4 has shown the target representative image, utilize XY action button 4 to make choice box move to this image, and press OK button 5, can directly change the picture c1 that full frame shows this image over to.
After changing this picture c1 over to, if operation XY action button 4 can one by one be switched image in front and back.And, in this picture c1, show that at upper left bight display list current pattern is set to the mark d of calendar mode.
That is, the 2nd method is under the more situation of total amount of images, remembers the inferior method that relatively is fit to of situation on the photography date of target image.And the operation of the operation of the 2nd method and the 1st method is united, so use very facility.
Below, with reference to Fig. 5~Fig. 7, the action step when carrying out image retrieval in this digital camera 100 is described.Basic procedure when Fig. 5 is this image retrieval.
When having notified the operation of pattern operating portion 3 by main body operating unit 23 (steps A 1), CPU21 verifies it and whether is set to calendar mode (steps A 2), if be set at calendar mode (steps A 2 is "Yes"), then the calendar picture of its detailed process of expression is handled (steps A 3) in the execution graph 6.On the other hand, if be not set to calendar mode (steps A 2 is "No"), then CPU21 continues to verify whether be set at reproduction mode (steps A 4), if reproduction mode (steps A 4 is a "Yes"), then many pictures of its detailed process of expression are handled (steps A 5) in the execution graph 7.
Fig. 6 is the 2nd flow chart (detailed process that the calendar picture is handled) of the action step of expression when carrying out image retrieval.When the implementation calendar picture was handled, CPU21 made image displaying part 25 show that the calendar picture of a month unit is as initial picture (step B1).Then, if (step B2 is a "Yes") operated by zoom operation portion 2, then whether be wide-angle direction (step B3) to CPU21 if verifying it, if wide-angle direction (step B3 is a "Yes"), then switch to the picture of wideer chronomere, the calendar picture (step B4) that for example shows to 1 year unit from month unit, on the other hand, if not wide-angle direction, the direction of promptly looking in the distance (step B3 is a "No") is then switched to the picture of narrower chronomere, the calendar picture (step B5) that for example shows to month unit from 1 year unit.
And, carrying out arbitrary calendar picture when showing, if press OK button 5 (step B6 is a "Yes"), then CPU21 full frame on this calendar picture shows the image (step B7) of having chosen choice box, if dial by operation (step B8 is a "Yes") beyond calendar mode, then finishes this picture and handles.
Fig. 7 is the 3rd flow chart (detailed process that many pictures are handled) of the action step of expression when carrying out image retrieval.
On the other hand, when the many pictures of execution were handled, CPU21 made image displaying part 25 show that full frames show that the picture of an image is as initial picture (step C1).Then, if (step C2 is a "Yes") operated by zoom operation portion 2, then whether be wide-angle direction (step C3) to CPU21 if verifying it, if wide-angle direction (step C3 is a "Yes"), then switch to the picture of greater number unit, for example switch to many pictures (step C4) that the pictures of 9 images having gathered 3 rows * 3 row show from the pictures of 4 images having gathered 2 rows * 2 row, on the other hand, if not wide-angle direction, the direction of promptly looking in the distance (step C3 is a "No"), then switch to the picture of smaller amounts unit, for example switch to many pictures (step C5) that the pictures of 4 images having gathered 2 rows * 2 row show from the pictures of 9 images having gathered 3 rows * 3 row.
And, carrying out arbitrary many picture when showing, if press OK button 5 (step C6 is a "Yes"), then CPU21 full frame on these many pictures shows the image (step C7) of having chosen choice box, if dial by operation (step C8 is a "Yes") beyond reproduction mode, then finishes this picture and handles.
Like this, this digital camera 100 according to circumstances uses multiple searching picture flexibly, and can utilize unified operation to handle.
Below, illustrate in the method for carrying out determining rapidly when the calendar picture shows display image.
When carrying out the demonstration of calendar picture, on the calendar picture, show the image of selecting according to the photography date.Be used to select the information on the photography date of this display image to be recorded in two positions of image recording media 26.Fig. 8 is the figure that simple expression is recorded in the data structure of the view data in the image recording media 26.This figure (A) represents the data structure of each image file, the data structure of the form management information (DOS filesystem information) of this figure (B) presentation video recording medium integral body.
At first, as one of them, shown in this figure (A), the photography date and time information m of image is recorded in the image file with image data main body and image header.Its another shown in this figure (B), as the making date and time information n of file, be recorded in the form management information (DOS filesystem information) of each file with its filename.The making date and time information n of file is same date mutually with photography date and time information m in fact.
Fig. 9 is the table of the concrete example of the filename of each image of expression and the date and time information m that photographs (making date and time information n).Filename (0001,0002 ...) the right side be the photography date and time information of this document.For example, the image of the graphical representation photography in 13: 56 on the 10th May calendar year 2001 of file by name 0001.And the right side of photography date and time information is the partial information that only extracts the photography date of year information from each photography date and time information.The photography date partial information as year information stores in RAM.Below, describe the partial information (year information) on this photography date in detail.
Figure 10, Figure 11 are the flow charts that the action step of calendar picture demonstration is carried out in expression, all are mainly to carry out by the control and treatment of CPU21.
Figure 10 is that expression shows in order to carry out the calendar picture, the flow chart of the handle year step of information stores in RAM27 when initial setting.When the power supply of camera was switched on, CPU carried out various initial settings (step D1).As one in the initial setting, read the date and time information (step D2) of all images file the image recording media 26 on being installed in camera.And, only the year information in the date and time information of being read is recorded in (step D3) among the RAM27 as the year information of file with filename.That is, in RAM27, store the above-mentioned filename shown in Figure 9 and the year information of its right-hand member accordingly.
Figure 11 is illustrated in the flow chart that carries out using when the calendar picture shows the step of the definite image that will show of year information.At first, judge whether display format is the demonstration (c4 of Fig. 4) (step e 1) of several years units.And, if year information (step e 2) is then read in the demonstration of several years units (step e 1 is a "Yes") from described RAM27, according to the definite filename of being read (step e 3) that will show of year information.
On the other hand, if not the demonstration (step e 1 is a "No") of several years units owing to be the demonstration of year unit or month unit, thus at first from described RAM27, read year information, according to this year Information Compression become the file (step e 4) of show candidate.Then, from image recording media 26, read the relevant detailed photography date and time information (step e 5) that becomes candidate's file, determine the filename (step e 6) that will show according to the photography date and time information of being read.
Then, read the thumbnail image data (step e 7) of determined filename from image recording media 26.And, the thumbnail image data resizing and generate video data, carry out the calendar picture at image displaying part 25 and show (step e 8).
The reason of using year information by the above in the calendar picture shows is described.
When carrying out the demonstration of calendar picture, must select display image according to the photography date and time information.And, as the photography date and time information, may not often need " year, month, day etc. " total data of all images data, when switching demonstration, mostly need from image recording media, read the date and time information of All Files again, have the problem that shows that switching is time-consuming.It is believed that in this case,, will shorten retrieval time, but can produce the other problems that needs capacity to expand of RAM if make the photography date and time information that all has All Files on the RAM of camera inside.
Therefore, as described above, at first from image recording media, only read " year " information of all images data, and be stored among the RAM of camera inside.If only be " year " information, can reduce the RAM capacity of camera inside.And, be the demonstration of several years units if calendar shows, then only utilize this information can determine display image.On the other hand, when carrying out the demonstration of year and month unit, can determine so from image recording media, only change the photography date and time information of reading this document, can determine display image corresponding to the file of specifying year at once.Compare with the photography date and time information of reading All Files from image recording media, the time shortens.
In addition, supply with to carry out the program of the software of above-mentioned functions to CPU21, this CPU21 is also included within the category of the present invention by carrying out the situation that above-mentioned action realizes the function of above-mentioned execution mode according to the program of being supplied with.That is, realize the function of above-mentioned execution mode by the program self that makes above-mentioned software, this program self constitutes the present invention.
