The digital camera 100 of present embodiment has communication line and guarantees photograph mode, and it guarantees communication line before photography or in the photography, sends obtained view data when photography finishes.Under the situation of operating portion (photo knob is guaranteed in the communication) 102a of the execution indication usefulness that the communication line of pressing the back side that for example is arranged on digital camera shown in Figure 2 100 is guaranteed to photograph, forward this communication line to and guarantee photograph mode.Under this state, when pressing the release-push 102b of the end face that is arranged on digital camera 100, after implementing, photography automatically carries out the transmission of image.For example, inferior in the situation that promptly runs into the high situation of news, when wanting to share view data in real time, utilize this communication to guarantee photography with other people.In addition, if do not guarantee to press release-push 102b under the state of photo knob 102a pressing communication, then carry out common photography.The automatic transmission of the view data after in this case, photography is implemented is not performed.
Communication guarantees that the transmission destination of the image under the photograph mode is server 300 basically.Also can send view data to mobile phone 500.Here, because be to be sent as prerequisite under image pickup mode is guaranteed in communication, so communication relies on radio communication to carry out basically to carry out real-time image.
Here, how high no matter be news image, the general user can show at that time that the image of situation just can satisfy as long as only see.Therefore, on the blog that can browse by PC400 from server 300, can show image (image of in Fig. 2 (a), the representing) situation at that time of showing, that select by the cameraman who photographs with digital camera 100 with reference marks 100a.Demonstration on the monitor of PC400 in this case becomes the content that reference marks 400a for example represents.
In addition, browse for needs and to comprise the validated user of image 100a, in server 300, also made the webpage that is used to show all images that sends by digital camera 100 at interior realtime graphic.Need to confirm that the user of realtime graphic, just can the real-time confirmation image as long as for example confirm image from the corresponding page or leaf of PC400 access server successively 300.Demonstration on the monitor of PC400 in this case becomes the content that reference marks 400b for example represents.At this moment, the result of digital camera 100 sequence photographies all is shown.Here,, preferably can know image update for the real-time confirmation image at once, so, also can when obtaining upgrading, webpage send RSS (RDF site summary: the information file of having recorded and narrated the summary of page refreshment content) to PC400.But, in this case, need make PC400 have the function that reads RSS information.Thus, user 700 can recognize the renewal of webpage and carry out image in real time and confirm.
In addition, only the view data that obtains in the digital camera 100 is uploaded onto the server 300, if access server 300 just can not seen image, so, when photograph mode is guaranteed in communication, also can not only send view data to server 300, also send view data to mobile phone 500.That is, the cameraman for example sends the annex of view data as Email immediately to the people who wants very much to see.Demonstration on the monitor of mobile phone 500 in this case becomes the content that reference marks 500a for example represents.Have again,, represented only to send the example of the view data 100a that selects by the cameraman here.Inferior in the situation that communication line is not congested, also can send many images.In addition, also can only send the message of impelling the people to see the image that is recorded in server 300 that reference marks 500b represents, send data thereby reduce.
Here, in order to realize the affirmation of realtime graphic, it is very important not sending view data protractedly.For this reason, in the present embodiment, before digital camera 100 sends image, data volume and number according to the view data that will send, estimation is the required time till digital camera 100 sends all images data, under the above at the fixed time situation of this time, promptly, reach under the situation that hinders the degree that sends important view data (view data 100a shown in Figure 2) in real time, adjust the transmission of carrying out view data after size is handled, to reduce the less data volume of important images data.
Fig. 2 (b) is the digital camera 100 when having represented that communication is guaranteed to photograph sends figure from the situation of view data to server 300.For example, the T0 after the significance map that can show situation at that time finishes as the shooting of F regularly, when the view data that does not send had 5 view data A～E, the required time was made as T1 till sending important view data F.In the present embodiment, when judge more than time T 1 at the fixed time, when the real-time transmission of important view data F is had any problem, in order to shorten time T 1, dwindle the view data A～E that before view data F, will send, data volume is reduced afterwards to be sent to server 300, and, only send last view data F to server 300 with common size.Can under the prerequisite that keeps image quality, use the time T 2 shorter to send view data F thus than T1.That is, in the present embodiment, consider by cameraman's image data specified F it is to show the important view data of situation at that time, this view data F is sent to server 300 as quickly as possible with high image quality.And, about the image beyond the view data F, only under situation about having, do not dwindle and send from the re-send request may of server 300.
Below, describe with regard to the image sending method of the 1st execution mode of the present invention.Fig. 3 is the flow chart of control of the digital camera 100 of expression the 1st execution mode.
At first, MPU101 judges that whether by the cameraman communication having been carried out in the operation of operating portion 102 guarantees photography indication (pressing operation of photo knob 102a is guaranteed in communication) (step S1).In the judgement of step S1, do not communicating under the situation of indicating of guaranteeing to photograph, MPU101 carries out common photography control.At this moment, MPU101 judges whether by the cameraman photography indication (step S2) has been carried out in the operation of operating portion 102.In the judgement of step S2, under the situation of having carried out the photography indication, MPU101 carries out photography action (step S3).And the Imagery Data Recording that will obtain by photography action is in recording medium 115 (step S4).Thereafter, MPU101 finishes the processing of Fig. 3.
In addition, in the judgement of step S2, under the situation of indication of photographing, MPU101 judges whether the operation of operating portion 102 has been carried out the playback indication (step S5) of view data by the cameraman.In the judgement of step S5, under the situation of having carried out the playback indication, MPU101 waits for that the cameraman selects view data.After by the cameraman view data having been selected in the operation of operating portion 102, MPU101 reads the view data of its selection and shows (step S6) in display floater 111 playbacks from recording medium 115.Thereafter, MPU101 judges whether the operation of operating portion 102 has been carried out the transmission indication (step S7) of view data by the cameraman.In the judgement of step S7, under the situation of the transmission indication of not carrying out view data, MPU101 finishes the processing of Fig. 3.On the other hand, in the judgement of step S7, under the situation of the transmission indication of having carried out view data, wait for that the cameraman sets the transmission destination.By the cameraman to the operating and setting of operating portion 102 after the transmission destination, the view data during MPU101 will reset by telecommunication circuit 116 sends to the transmission destination (step S8) of appointment.Here, in step S8, when server 300 sends view data, for Fig. 2 (a) thus reference marks 400a represent that this view data can for example preestablish predetermined sign in appreciation in the blog etc. on the view data that will send.Have again, also can before the transmission of step S8, specify in which position display image of the page of blog etc.If can consider the layout of the image that in blog etc., shows in this wise, then can become the display packing that more people like.And, also can be on the view data that will send additional annotations, make it to be presented on the page of blog etc.
In addition, in the judgement of step S5, under the situation of the playback indication of not carrying out view data, MPU101 judges the re-send request may (step S9) that whether has from the view data of server 300.Here, from the re-send request may of the view data of server 300, be the re-send request may indication of the view data sent the reception user 700 who receives by the image of having confirmed to be uploaded to server 300 and forming.In the judgement of step S9, under the situation of the re-send request may that does not have view data, MPU101 finishes the processing of Fig. 3.On the other hand, in the judgement of step S9, under the situation of the re-send request may that view data is arranged, MPU101 retransmits the view data (step S10) of server 300 requests by telecommunication circuit 116.Like this, MPU101 has the function of selection portion.
In addition, in the judgement of step S1, guarantee to photograph under the situation of indication having carried out communication, MPU101 waits for that the cameraman sets and sends the destination, according to the operation of cameraman to operating portion 102, sets the transmission destination (step S11) of view data.Like this, because pre-determined the transmission destination, so the cameraman can be absorbed in the photography of good chance.
After sending destination setting, MPU101 judges whether by the cameraman photography indication (step S12) has been carried out in the operation of operating portion 102, and standby always is carried out to the photography indication.In the judgement of step S12, under the situation of having carried out the photography indication, the MPU101 action of photographing will be stored in the not shown storage part (step S13) in the MPU101 by the view data of photography action acquisition temporarily.After this, MPU101 judges that whether by the cameraman communication having been carried out in the operation of operating portion 102 guarantees photography indication (step S14).In the judgement of step S14, guarantee to photograph under the situation of indication having carried out communication, MPU101 returns step S12, judges whether carried out the photography indication once more.That is, in the judgement of step S14, guarantee to photograph between prescribed phase at ongoing communication, according to cameraman's photography indication, carry out the photography action repeatedly, a plurality of view data that obtain by photographing repeatedly are stored in the not shown storage part of MPU101 successively temporarily.
In addition, in the judgement of step S14, guarantee to photograph and finish photography under the situation of indication having removed communication, the view data of carrying out obtaining constantly up to this sends to the processing of server 300.For this reason, MPU101 is according to current data volume and the sum that is stored in the view data of storage part, obtain the required time till being sent completely the view data that temporarily is stored in storage part, judge the transmission (step S15) that to finish the view data that is stored in storage part in the given time from this time by telecommunication circuit 116.In the judgement of step S15, in the time can not finishing the transmission of view data in the given time, MPU101 adjusts size (dwindling) (step S16) with the view data beyond the view data of storage at last by image processing circuit 109 in the view data that temporarily is stored in not shown storage part.And MPU101 sends to server 300 (step S17) by telecommunication circuit 116 with the view data after the adjustment size.Afterwards, forward step S19 to.On the other hand, in the judgement of step S15, in the time of finishing the transmission of view data in the given time, MPU101 is in the view data that is stored in not shown storage part, the view data beyond the view data of last storage is not adjusted size, and send to server 300 (step S18) by telecommunication circuit 116.
After the view data beyond the last view data was sent to server 300, MPU101 did not adjust last view data size and sends to server 300 (step S19) by telecommunication circuit 116.That is, in the present embodiment, carrying out repeatedly under the situation of image taking, considering in the image beyond the last image has some unsatisfied situation, these images is adjusted size, about last image, because be important images, thus size do not adjusted, so that do not reduce image quality.
In step S18 and S19, when view data is sent to server 300, for example, on view data, preestablish predetermined sign, make with Fig. 2 (a) thus reference marks 400b represent that those view data can appreciate with the mode of all images demonstration.About the view data of last transmission, also can indicate setting, so that in blog etc., also can publish.
After last view data sent, MPU101 sent the Email (step S20) that the presentation video data have been sent to server 300 to mobile phone 500.Have, the transmission destination of Email etc. is set by the cameraman in the processing of step S11 again.Under the situation that this setting is not carried out as yet, also can omit the processing of step S20.According to the processing of step S20, receive the other side of Email, for example watch the picture shown in the reference marks 500b of Fig. 2 (a) of mobile phone 500, can know that view data has been uploaded to server 300.In addition, also can on Email, add last view data.
As described above, according to present embodiment, consider that the image appreciator also needs the final satisfied view data of cameraman, transmission in this view data needs under the situation of time, other view data is adjusted size (dwindling), to shorten the transmitting time of this view data, so can the high image of Real-Time Sharing news.
In addition, about the image of adjusted size, have the user who need to feel this image under the situation of request and retransmit, so can not send the image that the image appreciator needs with omitting.
The 2nd execution mode
Below, describe about the 2nd execution mode of the present invention.In the above-described first embodiment, when communication is guaranteed to photograph, only use the situation of digital camera 100 sides to judge and to send view data in the given time.But in fact, even can send view data at a high speed in digital camera 100, under the congested situation of communication line 600, consequently transmitting time is delayed.The 2nd execution mode is not only considered the situation of digital camera 100 sides, also considers the situation of communication line 600 and carries out the transmission of view data.In addition, the structure of digital camera 100 is identical with Fig. 1, and the structure of server 300 is identical with Fig. 2 (a).But in the 2nd execution mode, it is different to obtain this point of congestion situation information (for example communication speed) that circuit 117 obtains communication line from server 300 by the transmission situation of digital camera 100.
