[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a reproduction information file generating program for generating a reproduction information file for reproducing a slide show on a computer device such as a personal computer or an image reproducing device such as a DVD player or a DVD recorder.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, various services related to photographic images have been provided. For example, in the case of a photographic image taken with a film camera, when a user brings in a negative film taken by a user to a photo service store such as a lab or an order store such as a convenience store, the photo service store develops the negative film and then scans the image. For example, a service is provided for reading a photographic image, writing the read still image file on a recording medium such as a CD-R, and providing the file to a user. Also, in the case of a photographic image taken by a digital camera, a service of backing up a still image file recorded on a digital camera or a recording medium for a digital camera to a recording medium such as a CD-R is provided (for example, JP-A-5-182373, etc.).
[0003]
By using such a service, a user can reproduce a photographic image with a computer device such as a personal computer. Further, by writing still image files and moving image files on a recording medium, various processes such as displaying these data as a slide show using slide show software can be performed.

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When using a slide show software recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-R to execute a slide show by mixing a still image file and a moving image file, the display size of the image based on the still image file and the image based on the moving image file Is not unified, and the appearance of the slideshow is poor, especially when a movie file with a small display size is played after a still image file with a large display size. There is a problem that can not be reproduced.
[0006]
In recent years, devices such as DVD players and DVD recorders (hereinafter, devices using a DVD or the like as a recording medium are referred to as image reproducing devices) have been sold, and image reproducing devices are as simple as general home appliances. It is widely used because images and sounds can be reproduced by simple operations and images can be reproduced with high definition. Therefore, a slideshow can be reproduced on an image reproducing device by converting a still image file or a moving image file for an image reproducing device and writing the converted file on a recording medium. However, even in this case, if the display of the image file is not controlled, the display size is increased. When different image files are reproduced one after another and a moving image file with a smaller display size is reproduced, a blank portion where no image is displayed becomes conspicuous, and a slide show with a sense of unity cannot be reproduced.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a connection to a display image in a computer device such as a personal computer and an image reproducing device such as a DVD player and a DVD recorder. It is an object of the present invention to provide a reproduction information file generation program for generating a reproduction information file capable of reproducing a slide show with a sensation.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the reproduction information file generation program of the present invention displays an image on a display unit that displays a predetermined number of frame images per unit time based on an input still image file or moving image file. In a reproduction information file generating program functioning as a means for generating a reproduction information file for causing the image data to be generated from a still image file or a moving image file which is the basis of an image displayed earlier on the display means, Based on the still image file or the data of the subsequent frame image generated from the moving image file that is the basis of the image to be displayed later, based on the synthesized frame image obtained by superimposing the rear frame image on the previous frame image Generate data.
[0009]
Further, the reproduction information file generation program according to the present invention is a reproduction information file generation program for causing a computer to function as a means for generating a reproduction information file for displaying an image on a display unit based on an input still image file or moving image file. In the program, reproduction is performed so that a combined image in which an image of a still image file or a moving image file to be displayed later is superimposed on an image of a still image file or a moving image file displayed earlier on the display means and displayed. An information file is generated.
[0010]
In the present invention, the image resolution of a still image file or a moving image file displayed first on the display unit and the image resolution of a still image file or a moving image file displayed later are obtained, and the image resolution is referred to. The display size or the display position of the image to be superimposed and synthesized can be calculated.
[0011]
As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, in the computer device, the image of the previously displayed still image file or moving image file is superimposed on the image of the previously displayed still image file or moving image file by the reproduction information file. The application is controlled so that the synthesized image synthesized by the display is displayed, and the image reproduction device uses the reproduction information file to display the composite image on the previous frame image generated from the previously displayed still image file or moving image file. Since a composite frame image that is obtained by superimposing and synthesizing a subsequent frame image generated from a still image file or a moving image file is recorded and displayed, there is a sense of unity with a connection to the display image using any device. A slide show can be played.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
As shown in the prior art, when a still image file is recorded using a service for recording image data taken by a film camera or digital camera on a recording medium such as a CD-R, a moving image file is recorded, and a slide show software is used. , The user can play back the slide show on the personal computer. Also, by recording these data in a format that can be played back by the image playback device, a similar slide show can be played back on the image playback device.
[0013]
However, since images based on still image files and images based on moving image files are simply displayed in order, for example, when a slide show is played in a state where still image files and moving image files having different display sizes are mixed, the appearance is poor, In particular, when a moving image file having a small display size is reproduced after a still image file having a large display size, a blank portion in which no image is displayed becomes conspicuous, resulting in a slide show with no connection to the image.
[0014]
Therefore, in the present invention, the reproduction information file generation program causes the computer device to superimpose the image of the still image file or the moving image file displayed later on the image of the previously displayed still image file or moving image file. The application is controlled so that the synthesized image is displayed, and in the image reproducing device, the still image file or the moving image file to be displayed later is displayed on the previous frame image generated from the still image file or the moving image file displayed earlier. By creating a playback information file for creating a composite frame image in which the subsequent frame images generated from are superimposed and synthesized, it is possible to play a slide show with a sense of unity by connecting the display images .

[0016]
As used herein, a “still image file” refers to a single piece of independent image data, such as data in which all pixel data is written as it is, or data compressed without redundancy. Includes those that are written, those that include song audio files, and those that include link information for song audio files. For example, a format that can be displayed on a computer device such as a personal computer is generally compressed by the JPEG method, and a format that can be reproduced on an image reproducing device such as a DVD player is a Video-CD format, a DVD-Video format, or the like. However, the file may be a file compressed by another method or an uncompressed file.
[0017]
The “moving image file” means data for switching and displaying an image at a certain time interval, and includes a file created based on still image data. For example, in a file such as MPEG, the data of the reference image is written as independent data, and thereafter only the difference from the reference image is recorded. If data is recorded, a moving image file is created from a still image file.
[0018]
In addition, the “slide show” generally refers to a slide in which slides (still image files) are continuously displayed. However, in this specification, a slide show in which a moving image file is displayed mixedly with a slide display of a still image file. Also, a file in which a plurality of moving image files including a moving image file created based on a still image file are continuously played back is also referred to as a slide show.

A synthesizing information creating means 9d for creating information.
[0022]
Although FIG. 1 illustrates the table-type input data recording device 1, the input data recording device 1 may have any form, for example, a kiosk-type input device that can be installed in a convenience store as shown in FIG. It may be a device. In this embodiment, the input data recording device 1 is described as a device that operates alone. For example, the input data recording device 1 is combined with a device that develops a negative film or a device that scans a developed photographic film to read image information. It is good also as a device which did.
[0023]
A procedure from input of data to recording of data on the output recording medium 17 using the input data recording apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0024]
First, in step S101, an input recording medium 14 such as an input medium 13 or a CD-R in which data has been written is loaded into the input medium loading section 2a or the input recording medium loading section 2b of the input data recording apparatus 1. Various methods such as connecting a photographing device such as a digital camera 15 or a camera-equipped mobile phone 16 to the device connection unit 3 or connecting to another computer device or the server 18 via the communication network 19 using the network connection unit. Desired data is input using the data input means 7.
[0025]
Here, the input data includes a still image file, a music sound file to be played when the still image file is displayed as a slide show, and a moving image file. A music sound file is not necessarily required. Further, when the still image file includes the music sound information or when the music sound file stored in the data storage unit 12 is used in advance, the music sound file may be omitted. When only a moving image file created from a still image file is used as the moving image file, the moving image file can be omitted.
[0026]
Next, in step S102, various settings for reproducing the input data as a slide show with music are performed using the data editing means 8. Specifically, a slide show editing screen 22 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 5 and set using the operation unit 6. The slide show editing screen 22 includes an image display column 22a for displaying thumbnail images 23 and 24 obtained by reducing the reference image of the still image file or the moving image file taken in by the data input unit 7, and a slide show for setting the image display of the slide show. A slide column provided with a setting column 22b, a BGM setting column 22c for setting a music sound file to be played back together with the still image file, and a button for confirming the set slide show and instructing writing to the computer device 20 or the image reproducing device 21 A recording instruction column 22d is provided.
[0027]
Then, the user selects data to be displayed as a slide show from the data displayed in the image display column 22a by using the operation unit 6, and sets a slide switching effect (for example, whether to display randomly or in a selected order) in the slide show setting column 22b. Setting of display, etc.), selection of whether to end or repeat the slide show after displaying a series of data, setting of the slide display interval, etc., and playing back when displaying a still image file in the BGM setting field 22c. The user selects a music sound file to be played and whether to play the music sound file only once or repeatedly. Then, the user selects and sorts the data selected in the slide show recording instruction field 22d, inputs sound to the selected image as necessary, plays back the edited slide show, checks the contents, and writes a PC write button. Alternatively, the user clicks the DVD player write button to instruct recording of data for each device.
[0028]
Next, when creating data for the computer device 20, the image resolution of each still image file or moving image file is checked by using the image resolution checking means 9c in step S103, and in step S104, the synthesis information creating means is checked. Using 9d, referring to the image resolution of the still image file or the moving image file displayed earlier and the image resolution of the still image file or the moving image file displayed later, the display size and display of the image file displayed later The position is calculated, and synthesis information for overlapping and synthesizing the images is created.
[0029]
Regarding the display size, for example, the display size can be calculated based on the ratio of the image resolution of each image file, or the display resolution of the display unit 6 can be recognized, and the display size can be calculated according to the display resolution. Regarding the display position, for example, the display image of the subsequent image file is displayed at a fixed position in the center or corner of the display image of the previous image file, the display position is changed according to a predetermined rule, Can be set to a position suitable for image synthesis (for example, a background position in the case of an image including a person and a background). Further, the display image of the subsequent image file does not need to be included in the display image of the previous image file, and it is sufficient that the display image is synthesized so that at least a part thereof overlaps.
[0030]
Then, in step S107, the slide display order, slide interval, slide effect, music sound file designation information, and the still image file or moving image file displayed later on the image of the previously displayed still image file or moving image file A reproduction information file including information for synthesizing a music file is created, and in step S108, a file group for the computer device 20 including a still image file, a moving image file, a reproduction information file, and a music sound file as necessary is generated. I do.
[0031]
The operation of the slide show with music is controlled in the computer device 20 by the playback information file as shown in FIG. For example, when the slide show with music is started, first, the first still image file (Still 1) is displayed, and the selected music sound file (BGM 1) is reproduced. Next, after a lapse of time specified by the slide interval, the first moving image file (Movie 1) is displayed, and the music sound file included in the moving image file is reproduced. At this time, in the present embodiment, instead of deleting the image of the first still image file, the image of the still image file is stored in the data storage unit 11, and the moving image is stored in a predetermined display position of the still image file. The application is controlled so that the images of the file are superimposed and synthesized. When the playback of Movie 1 is completed, the second still image file (Still 2) is displayed and BGM 1 is sounded again. In this case as well, the application is controlled so that the image of the first moving image file is stored in the data storage unit 11 and the image of the second still image file is superimposed on the image and synthesized. If the display size of the second still image file is larger than that of the moving image file, only the second still image file is displayed as shown in the figure. Hereinafter, the still image file, the music sound file, and the moving image file are reproduced in the same manner. Although FIG. 6 shows a case where the image of the moving image file is smaller than the image of the still image file, the display size may be reversed, and another still image file is reproduced after the still image file Also, when another moving image file is reproduced after the moving image file, the image may be similarly synthesized.
[0032]
When creating data for the image reproducing device 21, similarly, in step S103, the image resolution of each still image file or moving image file is checked using the image resolution checking means 9c, and in step S104, the synthesis information The display size of an image file to be displayed later by referring to the image resolution of a still image file or moving image file displayed earlier and the image resolution of a still image file or moving image file displayed later by using the creating means 9d And a display position is calculated to generate synthesis information (synthesis frame information) for synthesizing an image.
[0033]
Here, as for the display size, for example, the display size is calculated based on the ratio of the image resolution of each image file, or the display resolution of the display unit 6 is recognized, and the display size is calculated according to the display resolution. As for the display position, for example, the display image of the subsequent image file is displayed at a fixed position in the center or corner of the display image of the previous image file, the display position is changed according to a predetermined rule, The display image of the image file can be analyzed and set to a position suitable for image synthesis. Further, the display image of the subsequent image file does not need to be included in the display image of the previous image file, and it is sufficient that the display image is synthesized so that at least a part thereof overlaps.
[0034]
Thereafter, in step S106, a moving image file is created from the still image file using the moving image creating means 9a with reference to the created composite frame information. The method of creating a moving image file from a still image file is not particularly limited. For example, an image of an image file to be displayed first and an image of an image file to be displayed later are synthesized at a predetermined position on a synthesis frame. The obtained still image file may be reduced to a size of about 720 pixels × 480 pixels, and a still image file of about 30 frames per second may be overlapped for a time specified by a slide interval. In some cases, a still image file such as jpeg can be displayed depending on the image reproducing device 21, and in such a case, a moving image file need not be created from the reproduced image file.
[0035]
In step S107, a reproduction information file including a slide display order, a slide interval, a slide effect, music sound file designation information, and the like is created. In step S108, a moving image file (or a still image) created from a still image file in which images are combined is created. An image file), a reproduction information file, and a music / sound file as required are generated to generate a file group for the image reproduction device 21.
[0036]
With this slide show playback information file, the image playback device 21 plays back a slide show with music as shown in FIG. For example, first, a moving image file (same as Still1 in FIG. 6) based on the first still image file is displayed, and the selected music sound file (BGM1) is played, and after a time specified by the slide interval has elapsed, The first moving image file (Movie 1) synthesized on the image of the first still image file is displayed, and the music sound file included in the moving image file is reproduced. When the playback of Movie1 is completed, a moving image file (same as Still2 in FIG. 6) based on the second still image file synthesized on the image of the first moving image file is displayed, and BGM1 is sounded again. In this case, if the display size of the image of the moving image file based on the second still image file is larger than that of the image of the first moving image file, only the image based on the second still image file is displayed as shown in the figure. Is done. Similarly, a moving image file created from a still image file, a music sound file, and a previously input moving image file are reproduced.
[0037]
In the above description, a moving image file created using a still image file or a previously input moving image file is made a separate file, and these are associated with each other in a reproduction information file to be reproduced as a slide show with music. In the case of a device having a function of playing back a still image file, a similar slide show with music may be played back by controlling the display of a still image file with a playback information file.
[0038]
Next, the data for the computer device and the data for the image reproduction device are written. In the computer device 20, the data can be read even if the data is written in any area of the output recording medium 17. In the case of the device 21, the data seek order (that is, the order in which data is read) is set, and the image reproducing device 21 cannot read the data depending on the area in which the data is recorded. Therefore, the recording order is controlled so that data for an image reproducing device is recorded in a predetermined area (generally, in the case of a disk-type recording medium).
[0039]
More specifically, in step S109, the data transfer unit 10 creates a moving image file, a music / sound file, a playback information file, various applications, and the like for the image playback device 21 created by the data creation unit 9 (hereinafter, collectively referred to as these). (Referred to as a file group for an image reproducing device) is transferred to a predetermined folder for writing provided in the storage means 12 in advance. Then, the data recording unit 10 reads out the file group for the image reproducing device from the folder and, as shown in FIG. 9, outputs the CD-R, DVD-R or the like loaded in the output recording medium loading unit 4. The image is recorded inside the recording medium 17 (the image reproduction device file group recording area 17a). Here, if the video file is recorded on a CD-R using MPEG1 as the image format, the output recording medium 17 in the Video-CD format can be created. In this case, the output recording medium 17 in the DVD-Video format can be created, and the user can select which type of data is to be converted and what type of output recording medium 17 is to be recorded. Is also good.
[0040]
Next, in step S110, before recording data for the computer device 20, the data recording unit 10 temporarily closes the session in order to divide a data area usable by the image reproducing device 21.
[0041]
Next, in step S111, the data transfer unit 10 displays the still image file, moving image file, music audio file, playback information file, and still image file for the computer device 20 input by the data input unit 7 as a slide show with music. (Hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as a computer device file group) are transferred to a predetermined writing folder provided in the storage unit 12 in advance. Then, the data recording means 10 reads out the computer device file group from the folder, and as shown in FIG. 9, outside the image reproduction device file group previously recorded on the output recording medium 17 (computer device file). Recording is performed in the group recording area 17b).
[0042]
The output recording medium 17 in which the data and the program are written in the above-described procedure has, for example, a file tree structure as shown in FIG. 8, and is an image reproducing device in which data and applications to be reproduced by the image reproducing device 21 are stored. And a computer device file group storage unit that stores data and applications to be played back by the computer device.
[0043]
The image reproduction device file group storage unit includes, for example, a folder (CDI) for storing various applications such as an application for displaying still image data on a TV screen, and a folder (MPEGAV) for storing moving image files. A folder (SEGMENT) for storing still image files and music sound files, and a folder (VCD) for storing files for associating data as data for Video-CD format and the like and a reproduction information file are included.
[0044]
The computer device file storage unit includes, for example, a folder (PSD) for collectively managing various data, an application storage unit (APPL) for storing applications such as a slide show program and a reproduction information file, and the like. A dedicated content storage unit (CONTENTS) for storing dedicated content such as a design is included. Subfolders (such as PRD00012003203001) for storing data for each lot are formed in a lower hierarchy of the PSD, and the subfolders are static. An image file (Still1.jpg, Still2.jpg, etc.), a moving image file (Movie1.jpg, etc.), a music sound file (BGM1.wav) reproduced at the time of displaying a still image file, and the like are stored.
[0045]
Note that the file tree configuration in FIG. 8 is an example, and applications and dedicated contents are not necessarily required. If a slide show program is installed in the computer device 20 in advance, the slide show program is unnecessary. Also, an information file and an execution file for recognizing and automatically reproducing the data recorded on the output recording medium 17 by a personal computer are included, and thumbnail data corresponding to a still image file is stored in a folder for storing data for each lot. May be included.
[0046]
As described above, in the input data recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the reproduction information file generating program creates a reproduction information file of a slide show for connecting the displayed images and reproducing them integrally, and In consideration of the data seek order, a still image file, a moving image file, a music sound file, and a reproduction information file are recorded on the output recording medium 17. A slide show with a sense of unity can be reproduced on either the computer 21 or the computer device 20.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a slide show in which display images are connected and played back can be played back by an image playback device such as a DVD player or a DVD recorder or a computer device such as a personal computer.
[0048]
The reason is that the display order and slide interval of the still image file and the moving image file, slide show setting information such as a slide effect, the image of the still image file or the moving image file displayed first on the display means, and the still image file displayed later Alternatively, a reproduction information file including synthesis information and the like with the image of the moving image file is generated, and by the reproduction information file, an application is controlled so that the synthesized image is displayed in the computer device, and the image is synthesized in the image reproduction device. This is because an image file in which an image is displayed is created, and a set of a still image file or a moving image file and a reproduction information file are recorded on a recording medium so that both the computer device and the image reproduction device can read the image file.
