The camera arrangement function mode of the recording odor of most preferred embodiment of the present invention below is described, when the user uses the digital camera of the camera arrangement with recording odor of the present invention to take pictures, camera unit 14 will be operated with the present sight spot of taking pictures, the present sight spot of taking pictures will see through camera unit 14 and form the action of photographing of at least one optical image 10, camera unit 14 and can convert optical image 10 at least one digital image data afterwards with optical mode.When taking pictures, smell detecting unit 16 also can be operated simultaneously, to detect at least one smell 12 of the sight spot context of taking pictures at present, sees through the smell transducer 160 that smell detecting unit 16 includes, and smell 12 is converted at least one smell data.
Then, controller (not shown) in the digital camera will above-mentioned digital image data and the smell data be sent to combining unit 18 and carry out combination and move, to be combined at least one image archives, wherein can reach through the firmware or the hardware of digital camera inside in conjunction with action with smell data.The image archives that then will have the smell data are stored to record cell 20.
Please also refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the photographic method flow chart of the recording odor of most preferred embodiment of the present invention, at first, the camera unit 14 that the user the sees through digital camera sight spot of taking pictures, the sight spot of being taken pictures will see through camera unit 14 and form the action of photographing of at least one optical image 10 with optical mode, and be converted to a digital image data (S200) via camera unit 14, when the user takes pictures, digital camera will see through a smell detecting unit 16 with take pictures at least one smell 12 of context of detecting, and those smells 12 are converted at least one smell data (S202), the tough cognition in the controller of digital camera (not shown) according to the concentration power of those smells 12 with those smell data (S204) that sort.
After ordering is finished, firmware will further judge whether to carry out one and quantize action (S206), its step S206 is when implementing, can be after ordering is finished, the selection window that bounces out is selected to the user, when the user clicked the quantification action on selecting window, then the firmware of digital camera will first initialization one be detected a numerical value and a count value (S208), then carries out a quantification program (S210) again.The substep (from step S2100 to step S2104) that comprises some among the step S210, as from the smell data after the ordering, taking out the pairing smell data of count value (S2100), the plural smell data that the smell data of taking out and a smell database 200 is stored compare (S2101), be with the foundation of waveform in step S2101, judge whether to compare similar smell data (S2102) then as comparison.In step S2102, if find similar smell data, then setting one equals these smell data that find than logarithm value it is stored in numbering (S2103) in the smell database 200, to be stored in the specific region (S2104) of digital image data than logarithm value, the specific region is the above-mentioned mentioned EXIF information that arrives, and will detect the numerical value action (S212) that adds up then.
In step S2102, if do not find similar smell data, then jump out of the quantification program, directly enter and judge whether detecting numerical value has equaled maximum smell quantity that digital camera can store or the count value quantity (S214) of smell data afterwards that equaled to sort, and the maximum smell quantitative value that digital camera can store is to be stored in total amount setting apparatus 202.In step S214, if judged result all do not meet, the then firmware action (S216) that count value will be added up is got back to step S2100 then and is continued following program.Otherwise, as long as if judged result meets wherein condition among the step S214, then firmware will store detecting numerical value and whether carry out quantize action information in the specific region of digital image data (S220).
In this result who gives one example description of step S210 quantification program to carry out, the maximum number value of supposing the smell data that digital camera can store is 10, the quantitative value of the smell data after the ordering is 15, and smell database 200 stored smell data amount values are 20.At first, first initialization detecting numerical value of tough cognition and count value, this moment detect setting value be 0 and count value be 1, smell data after firmware sorts with correspondence according to count value then, to take out the smell data, the smell data of taking out and smell database 200 stored smell data are compared one by one, if find corresponding smell data after the comparison, then firmware will than logarithm value equal find corresponding smell data in the numbering of smell database, will be stored in the specific region of digital image data than logarithm value.Then, detecting numerical value will become 1 by zero, and firmware can judge at this whether detecting numerical value has equaled maximum smell quantity that digital camera can store or the count value quantity of smell data afterwards that equaled to sort.
If can't find corresponding smell data after the comparison, then firmware will judge directly whether detecting numerical value has equaled maximum smell quantity that digital camera can store or the count value quantity of smell data afterwards that equaled to sort, and detects numerical value at this moment and keeps original numerical value and can't increase.The action that then count value added up, so count value will become 2 by 1.Firmware will be by that analogy, up to detecting numerical value whether equaled maximum smell quantity that digital camera can store or count value equaled to sort the condition of the back quantity of smell data satisfied till.
At step S206, when the user clicks non-quantification action on selecting window, then the firmware of digital camera will carry out a non-quantification program (S218), the substep that in step S218, comprises some, whether the maximum number value that can store as the tough cognition determination number word camera of digital camera is greater than the quantitative value (S2180) of the smell data after the ordering, at step S2180, if judged result is for being, then set the quantitative value (S2181) of detecting numerical value for the smell data after sorting, otherwise, if judged result for not, is then set detecting numerical value and is the maximum number value (S2182) of the smell data that digital camera can store.Then, according to the detecting quantity that numerical value write down, the firmware of digital camera will take out corresponding smell data bulk from the smell data after the ordering, then it is stored in the specific region (S2183) of digital image data.
In this result who gives one example description of step S218 to carry out, the maximum number value of supposing the smell data that digital camera can store is 10, and the quantitative value of the smell data after the ordering is 5.Because the maximum number value of the smell data that digital camera can store is greater than the quantitative value of the smell data after sorting, so detecting numerical value will be set to 5, then, the firmware of digital camera will take out 5 smell data in the smell data after the ordering and come out, and with these 5 smell data storing in the specific region of digital image data.Otherwise if the maximum number value of the smell data that digital camera can store is 5, and the quantitative value of the smell data after the ordering is 10.Because the maximum number value of the smell data that digital camera can store is less than the quantitative value of the smell data after sorting, so detecting numerical value will be set to 5, then, the firmware of digital camera will be with the smell data storing after the ordering in the specific region of digital image data.
No matter arrive this, be the quantification program of step S210 or the non-quantification program of step S218, digital camera all can store detecting numerical value and whether carry out quantize action information in the specific region of digital image data (S220).In step S220, be will detecting numerical value but not smell data storing in the specific region of digital image data, with above-mentioned example, be the specific region that numerical value 5 is stored in digital image data.
When adopting the resulting effect of the present invention to be that the user utilizes digital camera to take pictures the sight spot, also can write down the smell arround the sight spot of taking pictures simultaneously, so can increase the recreational of digital camera, moreover, the present invention also can allow the user see through the odor dispersion device of the computer that is connected in the user on using, and the photo playout software that can recognize the smell information format is installed in computer, make when the user utilizes the photo playout software to browse to the photo that contains scent of information, the photo playout software can send the smell information that is stored in photo EXIF information to aforesaid odor dispersion device, and odor dispersion be installed on receive smell information after, just can give out corresponding taste.If the user be will print the photo that contains scent of information the time, then can see through to have the printer that smell prints the digital image data with smell data that the present invention finished is printed, with the usefulness as preservation.
But above-mentioned disclosed graphic, explanation only be embodiments of the invention, allly is skillful in this skill person when can doing other all improvement according to above-mentioned explanation, and these change and still belong in the spiritual and claim that defines of invention of the present invention.
