It has to be decided, and it is not easy to print a photo corresponding to a specific subject, and it takes time and effort.

  On the other hand, a camera is set up at an amusement park or attraction venue, and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is handed over to the user who wants the video from the camera, and when the user enters the shooting area of the camera, it is automatically shot. There has been proposed a method in which an image and user identification information from an RFID are stored in an image server in association with each other (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  The user can acquire the video data taken in the hall from the image server by accessing the image server from the terminal using the given user identification information, and the video data can be printed as a photo. Is possible.

  For RFID, frequencies of 135 KHz, 13.56 MHz, and 2.45 GHz are used, and it is used as a non-contact IC (integrated circuit) tag. However, the battery built-in type can read up to a distance of several meters, and has straightness.

  Also, a method has been proposed in which an image of a photographed article and identification information read from a wireless ID tag attached to the article are stored in association with each other when the article to be registered is photographed (for example, Patent Document 3). reference). In the case of this method, the directivity of the antenna is adjusted according to the focal length of the camera so that the identification information is not read from the wireless ID tag attached to the article other than the object to be photographed.
