Below, with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the action of the execution mode formed like this is described.Fig. 6 is the flow chart of the action for illustration of execution mode.Fig. 6 illustrates that camera controls.
In step s in fig. 6, associate control part 14 and determine whether photograph mode.Now, assuming that indicate photograph mode.In this case, association control part 14 in step s 2, controls image pickup part 11 and starts shooting, be taken into the photographs from image pickup part 11.Association control part 14 carries out the judgement of the subject in be taken into photographed images.
Association control part 14, in next step S3, determines whether association mode.When not being association mode, association control part 14 carries out the photographing actions of normal mode.That is, associate control part 14 and show live view image in step s 4 which, determine whether in step s 5 to photograph.When user presses shutter release button 22a, association control part 14 is photographed in step s 6, the photographed images from image pickup part 11 is implemented to the signal transacting of regulation, photographed images is recorded in recording unit 16 afterwards by record-playback control part 12.
Now, assuming that specify association mode by user operation.In this case, in step s 11, judgement specifies the photography of master image or specifies the photography of subgraph association control part 14.In the present embodiment, first can photograph to master image, also can first photograph to subgraph.
Namely, in the present embodiment, following pattern can realize: photographic recording has master image, by each relative position or each affiliated partner thing, subgraph and the master image recorded associatedly is carried out the pattern (hereinafter referred to as master-sub-association mode) recorded; And photographic recording has subgraph, recorded subgraph is associatedly carried out the pattern (hereinafter referred to as son-main association mode) recorded by each relative position of photographed master image or each affiliated partner thing.Step S23 ~ the S30 of Fig. 6 represents the action of master-sub-association mode, and step S12 ~ S20, S31 ~ S37 represents the action of son-main association mode.
Now, assuming that user specifies boss's association mode.That is, suppose photographic recording master image, user specifies the photography of subgraph, associate with recorded master image to make subgraph.In this case, association control part 14 make process transfer to step S21 from step S11, read the master image recorded from recording unit 16, be supplied to display and operating portion 17 carry out the stipulated time thumbnail show.Association control part 14, in next step S22, determines whether that selection operates master image.
Even if association control part 14 is when through the stipulated time also non-selected master image, be judged to be that photography, the i.e. user of the subgraph that will carry out in son-main association mode do not associate with master image and carry out the photography of subgraph, make process move to step S31 from step S22.
Now, because user will make subgraph associate with the master image recorded, thus user carries out the selection operation of master image.Association control part 14 accepts the assigned operation of touch location in step S23.Such as, user touches the display position of the image 25 of Fig. 2.Thus, such as picture lower-left is set as relative position by position and object detection unit 13.Then, associate control part 14 makes the photographed images in current shooting be presented in the display frame of display and operating portion 17 (step S24) in live view image mode in image pickup part 11.User is received in mode within the vision to make the relative position in master image or affiliated partner thing, carries out camera positions or zoom operation, photographs.
Association control part 14 determines whether to have carried out the shooting operation of subgraph in step s 25.When having carried out shooting operation, association control part 14 controls image pickup part 11 to have carried out photograph (step S26).This also can be expressed as works photography, and naturalness, toning, expressing gradation etc. are important.In son photography described later, when photographing to word etc. when Information Photographic, it is important for can read word etc., but here, it is important for firmly skipping exposure or changing color, reflect the photography of user preferences.Certainly, in order to carry out Text region etc., when can be arranged on live view image or after just having photographed, judge which part is distinctive step.Not only when recording, and when the live view image of S24, can be subgraph described later by such control break.Then, associate control part 14 to determine whether in step s 27 to identify the word in the relative position of photographed images.When identifying, in order to this word is recorded as sub-information, association control part 14 carries out the reading (step S28) of Word message, makes read word carry out son information-based (step S29).
Then, associate control part 14 and the sub-information be made up of with read word photographed subgraph is recorded in (step S30) in the image file of selected master image together with the information of relative position, affiliated partner thing.Can not be only record the side in relative position and affiliated partner thing, but judge the affiliated partner thing of relative position and its position, the both sides of record relative position and affiliated partner thing.Such as, setting screen central authorities are as relative position, and the object being recorded as this position is face in kind.Like this, in recording unit 16, the image file shown in Fig. 4 B is recorded.
The photograph processing of the subgraph in son-main association mode is carried out in step S31 ~ S37.The process of step S31 ~ S36 is except non-specified associations position or affiliated partner thing, identical with step S24 ~ S29.Photographed subgraph, in step S37, is recorded in related information storage part 15 by association control part 14.
Then, assuming that in son-main association mode, carry out the photography of master image.In this case, associating control part 14 makes process transfer to step S12 from step S11.User, in order to photograph to master image, photographs after performing angle of visual field setting.Such as, when the stone tablet 33 of Fig. 3 having been carried out photographing as subgraph, such as, as shown in Figure 2, with the angle of visual field comprising this stone tablet 33, master image has been photographed.
Association control part 14 determines whether to have carried out the shooting operation of master image in step s 13.When having carried out shooting operation, association control part 14 controls image pickup part 11 to have carried out photograph (step S14).The naturalness, toning, expressing gradation etc. important when main photography (works photography) are compared in this photography, and easy reading characters etc., easily detection face etc. are important, can be black and white, also can improve contrast.Although comprise spectrum assignment or the control of diaphragm etc. and carry out photography control, however different when can make itself and main photography, easy reading characters can be become or suppress fuzzy photography.Further, black and white or edge enhancing etc. are image procossing, can carry out either party in photography control and image procossing or both sides, make the performance as supplementary become master image.Certainly, can not only when recording, but also when the live view image of S12, be all master image by such control break.Then, association control part 14, in step S15, makes photographed image confirming display (record is browsed) be presented in display frame 23, accepts the appointment (step S16) of relative position or affiliated partner thing.Now, as mentioned above, enhancing display can be carried out to the part of the image with special characteristic.That is, the face identification be developed as detection technique and Text region are the representatives of the identification that user pays close attention to, and display determined such part, as the candidate that photographs again, surround with frame, or change color, or with arrow instruction, suggestion display is carried out to user.Further, when range data can be obtained, also can detection background, judge sky and mountain etc., obtaining mountain in conversational mode is the information such as mountain where.Now, except road sign, destination display panel, hand-held map etc. can also be photographed, also can photograph to guiding book etc., information displaying can be carried out to only this place.User sometimes can not remember and photographs etc. to guiding book, can show suggestion: " photographing to hand-held map or guiding book " etc.Such display information can be recorded in recording unit 16.User can specify the subgraph associated with now captured master image is clapped which position in master image.Such as, when subgraph is image 43 of the stone tablet 33 of Fig. 3, when having carried out the master image shown in Fig. 2 making a video recording, user has touched the lower left position of picture.Thus, the appointment that control part 14 carries out relative position or affiliated partner thing is associated.

Association control part 14, in step S18, determines whether to specify sub-information.When specifying, associate control part 14 in step S19, to the sub-information of image file addition record of master image.Further, when not specifying sub-information at the appointed time, only record has carried out the master image (step S20) of specifying of relative position or affiliated partner thing.
Fig. 7 is the flow chart for illustration of the action in reproduction mode.
Association control part 14, in the step S41 of Fig. 7, determines whether to specify reproduction mode.Association control part 14 when specifying reproduction mode, in step S42, read the master image recorded from recording unit 16, be supplied to display and operating portion 17 carry out the stipulated time guide look show.Association control part 14, in next step S43, determines whether to have carried out selecting operation to image.When having carried out image and having selected, selected image, in step S44, has been presented on whole picture and (has amplified display) by association control part 14.
In the present embodiment, association control part 14, in step S45, determines whether to change to association photography.In the present embodiment, even if when reproduction mode, the photography of subgraph also can be carried out.When being indicated association photography by user, association control part 14 makes process transfer to step S46, determines whether the appointment of touch location.The judgement of step S46 is the judgement identical with the judgement of the step S23 of Fig. 6, after, the step S24 of Fig. 6 is transferred in process.
Like this, in the present embodiment, even if when the reproduction mode of master image, also can specified associations position or affiliated partner thing, subgraph is photographed again and preserves.
When not indicating to association photography change, association control part 14 makes process transfer to step S51 from step S45, judges whether user has carried out the process getting back to other patterns from reproduction mode.
Then, if do not carry out the change to association photography when reproduction mode, then associate control part 14 in step S52, determine whether the touch operation having carried out specified associations position or affiliated partner thing.When having carried out touch operation, from related information storage part 15 read with by the relative position specified by this touch operation or the relevant sub-information of affiliated partner thing, be supplied to and show and operating portion 17 shows.
Like this, user can display and operating portion 17 display frame 23 on, show sub-information for the relative position in master image or affiliated partner thing.Further, as shown in the example of figure 5, sometimes multiple sub-information is recorded about the relative position specified or affiliated partner thing.In this case, user can delete and be judged as unwanted sub-information.Association control part 14, in step S54, accepts the selection of the sub-information that will delete.When specifying the sub-information that will delete, association control part 14 deletes the sub-information corresponding with this deletion action from related information storage part 15.
So in the present embodiment, can specify the relative position in master image or affiliated partner thing, point gamete information carries out record.As sub-information, can records photographing to photographed images or the information that obtains from photographed images, the information that the mode further user can expected with user in master image is expected carries out record.
