Description

  The present invention relates to a control program and a control apparatus that execute processing according to the state of a recording medium.

  In recent years, various services related to photography have been provided. For example, if you bring a digital camera or digital camera media that took a picture to a photo shop such as a minilab, it was recorded on a digital camera or media using an unattended terminal (kiosk) or store terminal in the store. Image data can be written on a recording medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R (for example, JP-A-5-182373).

  Also, based on image data read from a digital camera or media, image data in a format that can be played back by a DVD player, DVD recorder, HDD recorder, game machine, etc. is generated, and the original image data and the generated image data are It can also be written on a recording medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R.

  There is also a service that provides an application for writing image data to a recording medium. By installing the application on a computer device such as a personal computer at home, a digital camera or The image data read from the medium can be written on the recording medium, or the data for the image reproducing device can be generated based on the read image data and written on the recording medium.

JP-A-5-182373 (page 4-6, Fig. 3)

  Here, when writing image data read from a digital camera or media or generated image reproduction device data, a blank recording medium without image data is loaded into the terminal or computer device, and recording is performed. When displaying the recorded image data, the recording medium on which the image data is recorded by the above method is loaded into the terminal or computer device. However, in the computer device in which the terminal or the application is installed, the recording medium is loaded. If it is not determined whether the recording medium is a specific recording medium or whether image data is recorded on the recording medium, data is further written to the recording medium on which the image data is recorded. There is also. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the user himself is a specific recording medium or whether image data is recorded on the recording medium, and there is a problem that the operation becomes complicated.

  In addition, when writing image data using the above services, the directory structure and file format of image data, the rules for data and applications recorded together with image data vary depending on the service provider, and a specific application is used. When displaying the image data, the image data needs to be recorded according to a rule suitable for reproduction by the application. However, in the computer device in which the terminal or the application is installed, the display is performed without determining whether the image data is recorded in accordance with a predetermined rule. Therefore, the image data cannot be effectively displayed. Further, since the user does not know whether the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule, there is a problem that the user cannot perform processing such as re-recording the image data.

  Such problems occur not only in still image data based on photographic images, but also in moving image data obtained by photographing with a digital camera, music data acquired via the Internet, content data, and the like. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a main object thereof is to provide a control program and a control apparatus capable of executing processing according to the state of a recording medium.

  In the present invention, the computer is further caused to function as third determination means for determining whether the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule when the image data is already recorded on the recording medium, The control means may be configured to display an image based on the image data on the display means on condition that the image data is recorded according to the predetermined rule.

  Further, in the present invention, the control means is configured to display on the display means that the image data is not recorded according to the predetermined rule on condition that the image data is not recorded according to the predetermined rule. You can also.

  In the present invention, the predetermined rule includes a rule for recording the image data in a predetermined directory structure, a rule for recording the image data as data in a predetermined file format, and the recording medium. One of a rule for recording a specific information file for managing the image data together with the image data, or a rule for recording a specific application for processing the image data together with the image data on the recording medium It is preferable to contain.

  In the present invention, the first determination means determines that the recording medium is a specific recording medium when specific identification information is recorded outside the logical address area of the recording medium. You can also.

  In addition, the control device of the present invention includes a first determination unit that determines whether or not the loaded recording medium is a specific recording medium, and when the recording medium is a specific recording medium, Second determination means for determining whether image data is recorded; and when the image data has already been recorded, the image data is read from the recording medium and an image based on the image data is displayed on the display means. When the image data is not recorded, the image data is read from other recording means, and the recording means is provided with at least control means for recording the image data on the recording medium.

  In the present invention, there is further provided a third determining means for determining whether the image data is recorded in accordance with a predetermined rule when the image data is already recorded on the recording medium. The display unit can display an image based on the image data on condition that the image data is recorded according to the predetermined rule.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, whether the loaded recording medium is a specific recording medium, whether image data is already recorded on the recording medium, or the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule. Depending on whether or not the image data is written, the image data is displayed, and a warning that the data is not recorded according to a predetermined rule is issued, the user himself or herself determines whether the loaded recording medium is a specific recording medium. Even if it is not necessary to check whether image data has already been recorded on the medium or whether the image data has been recorded in accordance with a predetermined rule, it is possible to execute processing suitable for the recording medium. Can be improved.

  According to the present invention, a user simply loads a recording medium, and whether the recording medium is a specific recording medium, whether image data is recorded on the recording medium, or the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule. It is possible to execute a process suitable for the recording medium without checking whether or not the recording medium is in check, so that the operability can be remarkably improved.

  The reason is that the control program determines whether or not the loaded recording medium is a specific recording medium based on the identification information recorded in the predetermined area. It is determined whether the image data has already been recorded on the medium. If the image data is not recorded, the image data is written. If the image data is recorded, the image data is Control is performed to determine whether the image is recorded in accordance with a predetermined rule. If the image data is recorded in accordance with the predetermined rule, display of the image data is performed. If the image data is not recorded in accordance with the predetermined rule, the user is warned to that effect. Because it does.

Which shows a touch panel having both a display unit 5 and the operating unit 6) and a.

  Further, the main means provided in the control device 1 is shown in a block diagram as shown in FIG. 6, and the recording medium 9 is specified based on whether specific identification information is recorded in a predetermined area of the recording medium 9. A first determination unit 12a for determining whether the image data is recorded, a second determination unit 12b for determining whether image data is recorded on the recording medium 9, and whether the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule Image data (still image data, moving image data, image data) using the determination means 12 such as the third determination means 12c and the media loading unit 2, the device connection unit 3, the network connection unit, the recording medium loading unit 4 and the like. Data including information, etc. are collectively referred to as image data.) Data input means 13 for inputting) and, if necessary, thumbnail image data or screen data with the data size reduced. Video-CD format, DVD-Video format, HDTV format that can generate reduced image data such as nail image data, and can be read by an image playback device such as a DVD player, DVD recorder, HDD recorder, or game machine based on the image data The data generation means 14 for generating image data, the recording control means 15 for controlling the recording of these image data on the recording medium 9, and the control for causing the display means 5 to display the image data recorded on the recording medium 9 Display control means 16 for performing image data, and operation means 6 for selecting image data.

  Each of the above units may be configured as hardware in the control device 1, but the computer is configured as a control program that causes at least the determination unit 12, the recording control unit 15, and the display control unit 16 to function. The program may be installed in the control device 1 and executed. In FIG. 1, a computer device such as a personal computer is shown as the control device 1. However, the control device 1 can be of any form, for example, installed in a store such as a photo shop or a convenience store as shown in FIG. 2. An unmanned terminal (kiosk), a dedicated set-top box as shown in FIG. 3, a portable writer as shown in FIG. 4, an HDD recorder equipped with an arithmetic processing function as shown in FIG. A DVD recorder, a game machine, or the like, or a car navigation device having an arithmetic processing function can be used.

  A procedure for executing various processes using the control device 1 (control program) having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, in step S101, a recording medium 9 such as a CD-R / RW, a DVD ± R / RW, a DVD-RAM, or a Blu-ray disc is loaded into the recording medium loading unit 4 of the control device 1.

  Next, in step S102, the first determination unit 12a reads specific identification information from a predetermined area of the recording medium 9. At that time, if the recording location and contents of the identification information are easily known, the identification information itself is also copied, and it becomes impossible to prevent unauthorized duplication of the recording medium 9. Some of the information is preferably information that cannot be controlled by the OS of the computer, specifically information in the program memory area, information by guide groove modulation (ATIP) given at the time of CD-R molding, and the like.

  Here, the structure of a general recording medium will be described with reference to FIG. 12. The CD-R is formed on a polycarbonate substrate 100 with an organic dye layer 101 such as cyanine, phthalocyanine, or azo and a reflective layer 102 such as silver. And a protective layer 103 are laminated to form a pit by applying a laser beam of a predetermined power to the organic dye layer 101 to decompose the dye and deform the substrate to record information. The laser power has an optimum value depending on the type of the laser head that irradiates the laser light and the type of the organic dye layer 101 to be used. Therefore, in order to reliably write information, the CD-R type or laser It is necessary for the drive side to recognize the recommended recording power. Therefore, information such as the disc application code and recommended laser recording power is written as guide groove modulation (ATIP) information at the manufacturing stage of the recording medium, and the information is read by the drive firmware. The laser power is adjusted by control. Since such guide groove modulation (ATIP) can only be created at the time of manufacture, copying at the user level can be prevented.

  The specific configuration of this identification information is arbitrary, and it can be used as identification information by appropriately setting lead-in start time, maximum lead-out start possible time, etc., other than guide groove modulation (ATIP). It is possible to easily and reliably identify whether the recording medium is properly created.

  Next, when specific identification information is recorded in a predetermined area, it is determined in step S103 whether image data is recorded in advance on the recording medium 9 using the second determination unit 12b. Here, instead of determining whether or not the recording medium 9 is a blank recording medium (that is, a recording medium on which no data is recorded), it is determined whether or not image data is recorded. This is because even if specific data (for example, the identification information) or application (for example, an application for displaying image data) is recorded in the recording medium 9 in advance, the image data can be recorded. This is because it is not necessary to use a recording medium that is not recorded. As a result of the determination, if no image data is recorded on the recording medium 9, a writing flow to be described later is executed. Even if image data is recorded, it is possible to add more image data if the capacity of the written image data is small. In that case, the image data is temporarily displayed. The write flow is not executed immediately for recording later.

  Further, when image data is recorded, the image data may be displayed immediately. However, if necessary, in step S104, the third determination means 12c is used to store the image data. Judge whether it is recorded according to the rules. Specifically, whether the image data is recorded in a directory structure as shown in FIG. 10 (for example, a folder with a predetermined name (PS_Roll, ROYYMMDDyyy_XXXXXXAABxxx, etc.), or whether the image data is data in a predetermined file format (for example, , Jpg, etc.) and a specific information file (for example, an information file in which information for managing the image data recorded on the recording medium 9 is recorded) is recorded on the recording medium 9 And whether a predetermined application (for example, a slide show program, an editing program, a writing program, etc.) is recorded on the recording medium 9 is determined, and if applicable, it is determined that the recording is performed according to a predetermined rule. In this case, it is determined that the predetermined rule is not followed.

  Note that this step may be omitted if the display flow is immediately started when image data has already been recorded on the recording medium 9 in step S103. Further, here, as the predetermined rule, the directory structure, the file format, the presence / absence of a specific information file, and the presence / absence of a specific program are exemplified, but the predetermined rule displays image data recorded on the recording medium 9 or the like. As long as it is a rule useful for storage and management, rules other than those described above may be used. As a result of the determination, if the image data is recorded according to a predetermined rule, a display flow to be described later is executed.

  If it is not recorded according to the predetermined rule, a warning screen indicating that the image data is not recorded according to the predetermined rule is displayed at step S105. The configuration of this warning screen is arbitrary, as long as it can notify the user that the image data is not recorded according to a predetermined rule. For example, a specific application (slide show program) is not recorded on the recording medium 9. In this case, a warning screen 21 as shown in FIG. 14 can be displayed on the display means 5.

  Here, when the image data is not recorded according to a predetermined rule, the display flow is not executed, for example, when the image data is not recorded in a predetermined directory structure or when a specific information file is not recorded. Cannot specify the image data to be displayed by the application, and if the image data is not recorded in a predetermined file format, the application may not be able to use the image data. This is because image data cannot be effectively displayed when no application is recorded. Here, the processing is terminated after the warning screen is displayed, but the image data may be displayed even when the image data is not recorded according to a predetermined rule (for example, a specific application Although not recorded in the recording medium 9 (for example, when the application is already installed in the control device 1), the display flow may be executed after the warning display.

  Hereinafter, specific examples of the process of recording the image data on the recording medium 9 and the process of displaying the image data recorded on the recording medium 9 will be described. However, these processes are not limited to the following descriptions, and at least the image data May be recorded on the recording medium 9 or image data may be displayed on the display means 5.

  First, the procedure for recording image data on a specific recording medium 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S201, the media 8 is loaded into the media loading unit 2 of the control device 1, or the digital camera 7 or the camera-equipped mobile phone 7a is connected to the device connection unit 3, or the network connection unit is connected to the communication network 10. To do.

  Next, in step S202, the data input means 13 is used to read the image data recorded in the digital camera 7 or the medium 8 or the image data recorded in the server 11, and the display means 5 or the operation means as required. 6 is used to select image data to be recorded on the recording medium 9.

  Next, in step S203, reduced image data such as thumbnail image data or screen nail image data obtained by reducing the data size of the read image data is created as necessary. The reduced image data only needs to have a data size smaller than the input image data. For example, the reduced image data may be image data with a reduced number of pixels, color data, or image data with a reduced color reproduction range.

  Next, in step S204, if necessary, moving image data is generated based on the read image data, and the moving image data can be read by an image reproducing device such as a DVD player, a DVD recorder, an HDD recorder, or a game machine. (Data in Video-CD format, DVD-Video format, HDTV format, etc.). The method for generating the moving image data from the image data is not particularly limited. For example, when still image data is displayed like a slide show, data with a difference 0 corresponding to the slide display time is added to the still image data. The moving image data may be generated by generating moving image data or adding difference data based on the slide effect set by the slide show program to the still image data.

  Next, the read image data and the generated data are recorded on the recording medium 9. At that time, since the recording area where the data can be read is limited in the image reproducing device, the recording control means 15 is set in step S205. Using this, the generated moving image data, association files, and the like (hereinafter collectively referred to as image reproduction device data group) are recorded inside the logical address area of the recording medium 9.

  Next, after closing the session as necessary, in step S206, using the recording control means 15, the read original image data, reduced image data such as thumbnail image data and screen nail image data as necessary, An application such as a slide show program, a slide show setting file, and the like (hereinafter collectively referred to as a computer device data group) are recorded outside the image reproduction device data group previously recorded on the recording medium 9. A series of writing processes is completed.

  Various types of information are recorded on the recording medium 9 created in the above procedure, as shown in FIG. 11, and a predetermined format (preferably data not in a file format) is located outside the innermost logical address area of the disk type recording medium 9. Format) identification information is recorded, a data group for image reproduction equipment is recorded inside the logical address area outside it, and a computer equipment data group is recorded further outside that area.

  Further, the directory structure of the recording medium 9 created by the above procedure is as shown in FIG. 10, for example. Original image data, thumbnail image data, screen nail image data, a specific information file (“PS_Roll” folder) info.txt), a slide show program in the “APPL” folder, a slide show setting file, an auto-startup file (Autorun.inf), etc., constitute a computer data group, and the image data in the “VCD” folder is converted to Video-CD. Format, DVD-Video format, files associated with HDTV format data, image data to be displayed on the TV screen in the “SEGMENT” folder, video data in the “MPEGAV” folder, still images on the TV screen in the “DAT” folder Data groups for image playback devices such as applications for displaying data Is configured.

  Although the directory structure of the image data is arbitrary, in order to facilitate management when the image data is backed up to the computer device 10 or the like, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a folder indicating the storage location of the image data Folder indicating the storage location of image data for each media 8, device, and film in the lower hierarchy of (PS_Roll) (ROYYMMDDyyy_XXXXXXAABxxx, YYMMDD: Number specifying the date of writing, yyy: Sequential number for each day, XXXXXX: Random ID number, AA: Manufacturer code (00 to ZZ), B: Software, device product category (0 to Z), xxx: Sequential number), etc., and each image data is CCYYMMDDxxxxxx (CC: Image data) Type, YYMMDD: number that specifies the date of writing, xxxxxx: sequential number), etc.

  Further, in FIG. 10, a text format file is shown as a specific information file in which information for managing image data is described. However, the format of the information file is arbitrary, and is recommended in the photographic industry, for example. A dedicated file (for example, a file having an extension of pvm) may be used. The file in this format includes playback instruction information (for example, playback order, slide interval, slide effect, image rotation, BGM, etc.) and image search information (information input manually or information automatically recognized by an application). , Image header information recorded at the time of shooting, etc.), data history information (information relating to copying and migration, image data storage path information, etc.), ID information (disc ID, shop ID, shop URL, etc.) are recorded, Management of image data can be facilitated.

  Next, a procedure for displaying image data recorded on a specific recording medium 9 according to a predetermined rule will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S <b> 301, image data is read from the recording medium 9 loaded in the recording medium loading unit 4 using the data input unit 13. At that time, all the image data may be read, or only the image data selected using the display means 5 or the operation means 6 may be read.

  In step S <b> 302, the read image data is displayed on the display unit 5 using the display control unit 16. The screen displayed on the display unit 5 by the display control unit 16 is arbitrary. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the image data supply source (for example, the recording medium 9, the HDD of the computer device, the digital camera 7, An image including a tag display field 18 indicating the media 8), an album display field 19 for displaying a list of reduced images (thumbnail images) of the image data, and a work menu field 20 for selecting processing using the image data. The display screen 17 can be displayed.

  Then, the user browses the images displayed in the album display field 19, selects a desired image from them in step S303, and then selects a desired work (for example, print order from the shop) from the work menu field 20 in step S304. ) Is displayed, a screen corresponding to the selected work is displayed, and the selected work is executed by operating according to this screen in step S305.

  As described above, based on whether specific identification information is recorded in a predetermined area (preferably outside the logical address area) of the recording medium 9 using the first determination unit 12a, the loaded recording medium 9 is It is determined whether the recording medium is a specific recording medium, the second determination unit 12b is used to determine whether image data has already been recorded on the specific recording medium 9, and the third determination unit 12c is used to determine whether the image data is already recorded. It is determined whether the data is recorded according to a predetermined rule, and according to the determination result, whether the image data is recorded on the recording medium 9, the image data already recorded on the recording medium 9 is displayed, or a warning screen is displayed. Since it is determined whether or not to display, it is not necessary for the user himself / herself to check or determine the presence / absence of identification information and image data, and a predetermined rule, and operability can be greatly improved.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the image data is written or displayed by the control program is described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the subsequent processing is performed according to the state of the recording medium 9. Any configuration other than writing or display may be used as long as the configuration is automatically selected (for example, when image data is recorded in accordance with a predetermined rule, backup of the image data is performed instead of displaying the image data) ) May be executed.

  Further, the data recorded on the recording medium 9 is not limited to image data, and other types of data such as music data can be used. In this case, writing or reproduction of music data is automatically performed by a control program. The configuration can be selected.
