Description

  The present invention relates to an imaging function control device and a control method thereof, and more particularly to an imaging function control device and a control method thereof that control an imaging function of a mobile terminal, a digital camera, and a video camera.

  In recent years, mobile phones equipped with a camera function are rapidly spreading. In such a mobile phone with a camera function, an image of the object to be imaged can be easily captured just by pressing the shutter button, as in a normal camera.

  However, since it is possible to easily pick up images in this way, mobile phone users who use mobile phones with camera functions maliciously appear and damages such as voyeurism are increasing.

  Therefore, in order to prevent damage such as voyeurism, there is a mobile terminal that prohibits imaging when the mobile terminal body is tilted at an unnatural angle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, by performing shutter sound generation processing in response to the pressing operation of the shutter button of a camera-equipped mobile phone, it becomes difficult to perform voyeurism without being noticed by the subject, and the privacy of the subject is protected to some extent. There is an open / close type communication terminal device (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
