The liquid crystal display driver 58 drives the liquid crystal panel 16, and the subject image is continuously displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16.

The system controller 59, including the image data processing circuit 55, generally manages the electrical operation of this digital camera. The system controller 59 exchanges data with each of the EEPROM 60, the built-in memory 61, the feature extraction unit 62, the user information memory 63, and the image synthesis unit 64. In the EEPROM 60,
In addition to various sequence programs, various correction data,
Control data has been written.

As shown in FIG. 3, the built-in memory 61 is provided with an image data folder 71 and a fortune telling result folder 72 under the route 70. The image data folder 71 stores one screen of image data D101, D102, ... Obtained from the image data processing circuit 55 each time an image is taken by operating the shutter button 6, and stores, for example, 50 screens of image data. Memorize In the present embodiment, the image data D101 is the face of the subject,
The image data D102 is the subject's hand.

The fortune-telling judgment result folder 72 stores each judgment result when the fortune-telling is executed. The determination result is stored in a file name corresponding to the corresponding image data and the type of fortune-telling. That is, the image data D101,
The determination result by the human face (Facial Feature) fortune-telling corresponding to D102, ... is F101-D101, F102-D.
Fortune-telling judgment result folder 7 with file names 102, ...
It is stored in 2. For example, the file name F101-D
The determination result of 101 is, for example, “intelligent, quick,
・ ・ 」

The judgment result by palm fortune telling is P10.
The files are stored in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 with file names 1-D101, P102-D102, .... Compatibility (Co
mpatibility) The judgment result by fortune telling is that there are a plurality of corresponding image data, so C101- (D101 + D10
2), C102- (D103 + DI), ... And stored in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72. In addition,
DI is personal data of the owner of the digital camera, and original data is stored in the user information memory 63.

The user information memory 63 stores the personal data of the owner of the digital camera, his / her family, close friends, etc. input from the personal computer connected to the USB connector 10 or the memory card 8. This personal data includes the image data of the face and hands of the owner, the name of the owner, date of birth, blood type, and the like.

The feature extraction unit 62 analyzes the face or hand image data stored in the built-in memory 61 or the user information memory 63 and extracts the feature. System controller 5
A reference numeral 9 refers to the personality data or the personality data stored in the EEPROM 60 in advance to compare the personality data or the personality data extracted by the characteristic extraction unit 62 with each other to make a determination, and the determination result is stored in the internal memory 61. Judgment result folder 72
To store.

In the case of the fortune telling mode, the feature extraction unit 62
Represents the contour of the face, eyebrows, from the specified image data D101.
Identify the positions and shapes of the eyes, nose, and mouth and create a portrait. The EEPROM 60 stores a large number of image data of a face having a typical pattern based on anthropology as anthropological data, and the system controller 59 is closest to the created caricature (the matching characteristic portion is the most. (Often) face image data is extracted, and a fortune-telling determination result attached to the image data, for example, a personality or a fate is read, and a file name of a person's face associated with the image data D101,
For example, in F101-D101, it is stored in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 of the internal memory 61.

The same is true in the palm reading mode.
The PROM 60 stores, as palm data, a large number of palm patterns including lengths, thicknesses, inclinations of life lines, intelligence lines, emotion lines, fate lines, marriage lines, etc., and combinations thereof. The palm pattern closest to the palm of the subject extracted by the feature extraction unit 62 is selected, and the fortune-telling determination result attached to the palm pattern is the palm image data D1.
File name of the palm associated with 03, eg P10
It is stored in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 of the internal memory 61 at 1-D103.

In the compatibility fortune-telling mode, there are a case A for determining the compatibility between the subject and the owner of the digital camera, and a case B for determining the compatibility between the subject and a third party other than the owner. In case A, the personal data DI of the owner himself stored in the user information memory 63 in advance is used. As described above, the system controller 59 outputs the fortune-telling judgment result such as the personality and fate based on the image data D103 of the subject stored in the built-in memory 61, and the ownership obtained based on the personal data of the owner himself. Compare with the fortune-telling judgment result of the person himself. In this comparison, a comparison pattern stored in the EEPROM 60 in advance is applied, and a comparison result corresponding to the corresponding comparison pattern is used as a fortune-telling determination result, for example, a file name of compatibility fortune telling, for example, C101- (D103 + D).
In I), it is stored in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 of the internal memory 61.

In the case B, the personal data of a third party other than the owner is stored in the user information memory 63 in advance, or both of them use image data obtained by photographing with a digital camera. In addition, it is possible to judge the degree of friendship as a whole in a group of three or more people instead of only two people. In this case,
Those that match in the fortune-telling judgment results such as personality and fate of each person,
For example, if there are 5 or more items, it is very close and it is easy to act together as a group. With 3 items, it will work if you make an effort. If 1 item or less, it is better not to act together as a group.

The image synthesizing unit 64 synthesizes the determination result (text data) of each fortune-telling and the corresponding image data to create synthetic image data. This composite image data is created using a markup language such as HTML, SGML, or XML, is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16 via the image data processing circuit 55, and is stored in the built-in memory 61. Since the composite image data is created using the markup language, the composite image data can be easily displayed, printed, and searched using a general-purpose browser. This allows
The composite image data can be easily printed out by an external printer connected via the I / O port 65 and the USB connector 10 or can be easily loaded into a personal computer for secondary use.

Further, the system controller 59 uses the I / O
Multi-operation button 1 via O port 65
7. Monitor signals from the power switch 18, shutter button 6, etc., perform signal processing according to the input signal,
Writing to and reading from the memory card 8 are performed.

When a memory card 8 having a writing capacity is attached to the slot 9, it is possible to select which of the memory card 8 and the built-in memory 61 to store the image data of the subject image by operating the multi-operation button 17. .

The operation of the digital camera thus constructed will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. When the power switch 18 is turned on, the mode is confirmed and the ring portion 17 of the multi-operation button 17 is checked.
Depending on the set position of b, the process branches to one of the shooting mode / playback mode / personal horoscope mode / manual fortune-telling mode / compatibility fortune-telling mode.

In the photographing mode, the solid-state image pickup device 50 continuously photographs the subject image, and the image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16 functioning as an electronic viewfinder. The photographer performs framing while observing the liquid crystal panel 16 or looking in the optical viewfinder 15, and presses down the shutter button 6. At that moment, the image data of the subject image is stored in the built-in memory 61. By repeating this, the image data of the subject is stored in the built-in memory 61. Further, the memory card 8 can be designated as the save destination.

In this photographing, when the subject image is used for human figure or compatibility fortune telling, it is preferable to carry out framing so that the face of the subject is enlarged in advance. When performing palm reading, the subject's palm is enlarged to fill the screen (see D102 shown in FIG. 3). Also,
In order to obtain a more accurate fortune-telling determination result, it is preferable to adjust shooting conditions so that the face can be clearly captured. It should be noted that when the shooting condition is bad and the shadow of the face is uneven, the fortune-telling determination result varies, but if it is also interesting, it is not necessary to worry about the shooting condition.

After the subject is photographed, each fortune-telling mode can be selected. For example, when the ring portion 17b is turned to select the compatibility fortune telling mode, thumbnail images of the face of the subject photographed so far are displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16. The compatibility fortune-telling of the present embodiment uses the human-fortune-telling determination result.
If not displayed at once, all images can be viewed by scrolling. When the image of the other person for whom the compatibility is fortune-telling is found, the image is selected and the OK button 20 is pressed.

The image data D101 of the other party is the internal memory 6
1 is read by the feature extraction unit 62, the features of the human appearance are extracted, and a portrait is created. System controller 59
Shows the closest human face pattern to this caricature in EEPROM
The selection is made from 60 and the fortune-telling determination result attached to this personality pattern is read. Then, the system controller 59 compares the result with the owner's fortune-telling determination result obtained based on the owner's personal data DI stored in advance in the user information memory 63.

Since this comparison pattern is also stored in the EEPROM 60, it is selected from the EEPROM 60 and the comparison result, for example, "the compatibility of the two people is the highest.
. "And reads, for example, the file name C101- (D101 + D) in the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 of the internal memory 61.
Store in I). At the same time, the comparison result, the image data D101 of the other party, and the personal data DI of the owner, particularly the image data, are sent to the image synthesizing unit 64, and are applied to a predetermined pattern to be synthesized. The combined image data is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16 and stored in the built-in memory 61 through the image data processing circuit 55 as shown in FIG. In addition, this composite image data is US
It can be printed out by a printer connected via the B code 11. Further, it can be transferred to the memory card 8 and taken into an external personal computer or the like for secondary use.

In this compatibility fortune-telling mode, the compatibility between the subject and the owner is foreseen. However, if the personal data of a third party who is not the owner, such as a friend, is entered in the user information memory 63 in advance, the subject and the friend You can also tell the compatibility with. It is also possible to photograph two different persons and to know the compatibility between the two persons from the photographed data. Furthermore, it is also possible to tell the degree of friendship as a group from the shooting data of three or more people. Further, in the compatibility fortune-telling, the compatibility was fortuned based on the determination result of the human-fortune telling, but it may be based on the determination result of the palm-fortune-telling, or even if the compatibility is obtained by combining both the determination results of the fortune-telling. Good.

In the human phase fortune-telling mode, the comparison with the owner's fortune-telling judgment result is not performed in the compatibility fortune-telling mode, and the description thereof will be omitted. Further, in the palm reading mode, only the palm pattern, not the human pattern, is referred to for making the determination, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the determination result of the human figure fortune telling mode can be printed together with the subject image. In this case, the subject image 8 of the print 80
A fortune-telling judgment result 82, for example, "bright, easy, ..." Is printed below 1, but this printing position can be set arbitrarily. Also, in the palm reading mode, printing can be performed similarly (not shown). In addition, as a specially made business card, it is possible to print the results of the individual's fortune-telling determination and the compatibility fortune-telling determination results of multiple persons.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a star-shaped mark 87 may be printed at the corner of the subject image 86 of the print 85. This mark 87 indicates that there is a fortune-telling determination result for the subject image 86 in the built-in memory 61 or the memory card 8 in which the image data of the subject image 86 is stored. The image with this mark 87 is displayed in the internal memory 61.
Alternatively, when the file is retrieved from the memory card 8 and displayed on the liquid crystal panel 16, the file name is displayed together with the image. The fortune-telling determination result can be retrieved from the fortune-telling determination result folder 72 and displayed by this file name. Although the mark 87 is a star mark in this embodiment, any illustration or character may be used.

In the embodiment described above, the fortune-telling determination result is stored in a folder separate from the image data. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the image data D10 in the image data folder 71 is stored.
You may make it write in the tag 89 of 1, D102, .... In this case, the image data D101, D102, ...
.. is an XML (extensiblema
rkup language) format. Note that HTML or SGML may be used as this data format.

The owner, etc. (owner or a friend of the owner)
As fortune-telling judgment results such as personality and fate, we used the fortune-telling judgment results obtained based on the image data of the face and hands of the owner, but not the image data of the face and hands, but the name of the owner, etc. Fortune-telling judgment results based on the date of birth and blood type may be used.
Alternatively, the owner or the like may store the result of the fortune-telling judgment such as his / her personality and fate in the user information memory and use it for the compatibility judgment with the opponent. In this case, there is an advantage that the owner or the like can perform the intended judgment. Further, in this case, it is preferable to display a selection menu on the liquid crystal panel and select the one that seems to be one's personality or destiny from the selection menu.

Further, in the above embodiment, only the image data obtained by photographing the face or hand of the subject is used in order to tell the character or fate of the subject, but as the auxiliary fortune-telling data, the name of the subject, Date of birth, blood type, hobby, height, weight,
It is also possible to use profile data such as tastes and image data of faces and hands of subjects photographed in the past. The profile data and the like are taken into a dedicated memory, a built-in memory or the like of the digital camera using the memory card or the USB connector. Alternatively, if only profile data that does not include image data is displayed, a selection screen may be displayed on the liquid crystal panel and selected and input by key operation or the like. As a result, it is possible to perform more accurate compatibility diagnosis by using fortune-telling based on the year of birth and blood type in addition to the compatibility fortune-telling based on the personal appearance and the hand appearance. If the past image data of the subject is captured, the result of the human horoscope determination based on the image data of the face of the subject just photographed is compared with the result of the human horoscope determination based on the past image data. Then, it is possible to see the change in the fortune-telling judgment result due to the passage of time.

The composite image data of the determination result (text data) of each fortune-telling and the corresponding image data is HT.
It was created using a markup language such as ML, SGML, or XML. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, text data may be converted into bitmap data and the entire image data may be narrowly defined. The present invention can also be applied to a digital camera with a printer that incorporates a small printer. In this case, since the fortune-telling determination result can be printed immediately after shooting, it is suitable as a prop for encouraging a party or the like.

[0047]

As described above, according to the digital camera of the present invention, since the human and fortune telling are performed from the image data obtained by photographing the subject, the subject is photographed in the same manner as the ordinary photographing. Only by doing so, you can very easily tell the character and fortune of the subject. In addition, since the determination result is stored in association with or associated with the corresponding image data, even if a large number of determinations are performed, the relation between the determination result and the image data will not be lost. Moreover, since the determination result by the determination means is combined with the corresponding image data,
The image and the determination result can always be managed together, and the image and the determination result can be easily printed out together.

Further, since the judgment result based on the personal data of the owner or the like is compared with the judgment result based on the image data obtained by photographing the subject, the subject is photographed in the same manner as the normal photographing. Just by doing, it is possible to very easily understand the compatibility between the subject and the owner. Further, since the owner's personal data can be used for the determination, compatibility with many people can be easily determined, which is useful as a means of communication. In addition, since the compatibility determination result and the image data are combined, the image and the determination result can be always managed together, and the image and the determination result can be easily printed out together.

Further, since the determination results of a plurality of different subjects are compared, the compatibility between the subjects can be easily understood. Further, since the display means for displaying the composite image data is provided, the image and the result of the fortune-telling related thereto can be displayed together in an easy-to-understand manner. Moreover, since the compatibility determination result is text data, the composite image data obtained by combining the text data with the image data can be easily displayed, printed, and searched, and can be easily used for secondary use.

Further, since the subject data input means for inputting profile data such as the date of birth and blood type of the subject or / and image data such as a face is provided, it is possible to perform a fortune telling or a hand telling depending on the year of birth and the blood type. A more accurate fortune-telling judgment can be performed by using fortune-telling together, and by capturing the past image data of the subject, the fortune-telling result based on the image data of the current subject and the fortune-telling based on the past image data By comparing with the judgment result, it is possible to see the change in the fortune-telling judgment result due to the flow of years.
