Description

  The present invention relates to a sound-provided image providing system for providing a sound-added image via a printed material.

  In recent years, digital cameras have built-in microphones and speakers in the camera body, and have recorded sound when shooting still images and moving images, and played back still images and moving images with sound. In general, it is possible to shoot video with sound. However, for example, when a still image recorded by still image shooting with sound is printed out as a photograph and given to another person, the sound by the sound data recorded accompanying the image data is cut off.

As a technology that can solve this problem, for example, in Patent Document 1 below, when a photographed image is printed out, the audio data accompanying the image data is converted into a barcode, and the barcode is printed together with the photographed image. How to out is described. That is, on the side receiving the printed matter on which the barcode image is printed, if the barcode image is converted into sound data using a predetermined device, the sound accompanying the photographed image can be reproduced. This still image can be distributed or distributed without losing sound.

The printer 3 is an arbitrary type of color printer or monochrome printer such as an inkjet method, a laser method, or a thermal transfer sublimation type.

  The digital camera 2 converts an image signal of a subject captured by the CCD or the like into a digital signal, compresses the image data into a predetermined format, and then stores the image file in a memory card 2a that is detachably incorporated in the main body. As well as a normal still image capturing function and a still image capturing function with sound. Note that the audio data recording method is, for example, a method of embedding audio data in image data (image file) or a method of creating an audio file separately from the image file and storing both files in association with each other.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment according to the above configuration will be described. Here, description will be made assuming that all still images recorded on the memory card 2a of the digital camera 2 are distributed to a third party. It is assumed that the still image with sound is recorded as an image file in which sound data is embedded.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation contents of the personal computer 1 and the audio data storage server 5 in the above case. The personal computer 1 starts operating when the above-described image distribution program is started by the user in a state where the digital camera 2 is connected and the digital camera 2 is powered as shown in FIG. In the following description, it is assumed that the personal computer 1 is already connected to the Internet.

  When the image distribution program is activated, the personal computer 1 individually loads image files recorded on the memory card 2a of the digital camera 2 and stores them in a predetermined area of the auxiliary storage device 24 (step SA1). Based on the header information of the image file, it is confirmed whether or not there is audio data, that is, whether or not audio data is embedded (step SA2). If no audio data is embedded (NO in step SA2), the image data of the loaded image file is output to the printer 3 (step SA8). If audio data is embedded in the loaded and saved image file (YES in step SA2), the embedded audio data is uploaded to the audio data storage server 5 (step SA3).

  On the other hand, the voice data storage server 5 confirms whether or not voice data has been received (uploaded) during operation. When voice data is received (YES in step SB1), the received data is stored in the voice database 34. (Step SB2). Then, an access path indicating the storage location and the data name (data name at the time of upload) of the stored audio data, that is, a URL (HTTP://WWW.XXXXX.CO.JP/ONESILIST/YYYYY/ ZZZZZZ /...) Is transmitted to the audio data transmission source (step SB3).

  When the personal computer 1 receives the access path from the voice data storage server 5 (YES in step SA4), the personal computer 1 converts the received access path into two-dimensional code data (step SA5). Subsequently, new image data is created by overwriting a predetermined portion of the image data of the image file in which the uploaded audio data is embedded (loaded and saved in step SA1) with the converted two-dimensional code, and the created image data Is stored in the auxiliary storage device 24 as a new image file (step SA6), and the created new image data is output to the printer 3 (step SA7). As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, a printed matter 100 in a state where the two-dimensional code 102 is printed on a part of the recorded image 101 is created. In the figure, the two-dimensional code 102 is a two-dimensional code composed of geometric dot pattern set information called a QR code (registered trademark), and the two-dimensional code 102 is a lower right corner of the recorded image 101. This is an example of overwriting.

  Thereafter, until the printing of all the still images is completed (NO in step SA9), the personal computer 1 returns to step SA1 and repeats the above-described processing. Then, when the processing for all the still image files (still image files) is completed (YES in step SA9), the processing according to the image distribution program ends.

  As a result of the above operation, audio data associated with all still images with sound recorded by still image shooting with sound in the image file recorded on the memory card 2a is automatically transmitted to the sound data storage server 5. The still images (recorded images 101) are automatically printed as photographs with the two-dimensional code 102 added thereto. A normal still image is printed as a photograph as it is.

  Then, a person who has received the printed matter 100 (photo with the two-dimensional code 102 added) printed as described above reads the two-dimensional code 102 using the cellular phone terminal 7 or the like, thereby storing the audio data. Audio data associated with the recorded image 101 can be acquired from the server 5 and reproduced. That is, while viewing the recorded image 101 printed on the printed material 100, it is possible to listen to the sound recorded when the photographed image is taken.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation content of the mobile phone terminal 7 at that time. In accordance with the program stored in the ROM 47 by the user setting a predetermined mode by the user, the mobile phone terminal 7 captures the image by the image capturing unit 50 and the area of the two-dimensional code in the captured image. Is confirmed (step SC1). When the two-dimensional code region confirmation is completed (YES in step SC2), the confirmed two-dimensional code is decoded and converted into the access path described above (step SC3). After the conversion is completed, according to the download instruction from the user (YES in step SC4), the wireless communication unit 41 accesses the audio data storage server 5 indicated by the access path, and the audio data corresponding to the access path. Is downloaded (steps SC5 and SC6). Thereafter, in response to a playback instruction from the user (step SC7), the downloaded voice is played back by the voice processing unit 43 (step SC8).

  Here, when the mobile phone terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code 102, the region portion of the two-dimensional code 102 is once confirmed with respect to the captured image, and the two-dimensional code is decoded for the region portion. Although the case has been described, depending on the type of the mobile phone terminal 7 and the prepared application program, a shooting frame indicating the position of the two-dimensional code 102 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 46, and within the shooting frame There is a case where the user images the printed matter 100 so that the two-dimensional code 102 can be accommodated, and the two-dimensional code is decoded for the image data in the photographing frame.

  As is clear from the above, in the personal computer 1 in which the image distribution program is installed as described above, a still image with sound captured and recorded by the digital camera 2 is used as a printed matter as described above. It becomes possible to provide it to a third party via 100. Moreover, since the area required for printing the two-dimensional code 102 on the printed material 100 is small and constant regardless of the playback time of the provided sound, even when the playback time of the sound provided with the still image is long, It can correspond to it.

  In the present embodiment, among still images recorded in the digital camera 2 (memory card 2a), only an image file of a still image with sound is automatically loaded, and a sound data storage server for sound data is also loaded. Since uploading to 5 and printing of the printed material 100 based on the two-dimensional code and the image data are performed continuously, all the still images with sound recorded in the digital camera 2 are transmitted via the printed material 100. When providing it to a third party, it is possible to easily prepare the printed material 100.

  Further, when the sound is printed out as a barcode image together with the photographed image as in the prior art, it is necessary for the personal computer 1 to have a function of converting the sound data into the barcode data, and the cellular phone terminal 7 Although it is necessary to provide a function of converting code data into sound, according to the present embodiment, the printed matter 100 as described above is used for a still image with sound without providing the above function in the personal computer 1 or the mobile phone terminal 7. Can be provided to third parties. Therefore, when the audio-provided image providing system of the present invention is realized by the personal computer 1 as in the present embodiment, the image distribution program required for it can be a simple program. At the same time, even in the mobile phone terminal 7 or the like that reproduces the sound corresponding to the printed image, the processing program (application program) for performing the process of reproducing the sound in the above-described procedure may be a simple program. In addition, the burden on the apparatus required for data processing when reproducing sound can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, in the processing shown in FIG. 5, the personal computer 1 creates new image data by overwriting a predetermined portion of the image data acquired from the digital camera 2 by overwriting a two-dimensional code, 3 is described, but without overwriting the two-dimensional code on the image data, for example, as in the other printed matter 200 shown in FIG. The two-dimensional code may be output to the printer 3 separately from the image data so as to be printed in an independent state.

  In addition, one printed material 100 is created for each recorded image, but a plurality of recorded images may be printed side by side on one printed material 100. Even in that case, the recorded image 101 and the two-dimensional code 102 may be printed independently as described above. In this case, however, a plurality of recorded images 101 and a plurality of two-dimensional codes 102 are arranged in association with each other so that the correspondence between the recorded images 101 and the two-dimensional codes 102 can be understood. It is necessary to indicate the correspondence relationship by assigning the same number or the like to the code 102.

  In addition, while loading all still image files from the digital camera 2, the audio data upload process included in the still image file with sound and the print process of the printed matter 100 are automatically performed continuously. Although the case has been described, the user may select a still image with sound to be processed. For example, if audio data is embedded in the loaded image file, at that time, processing from uploading the audio data to printing of the printed material 100 (steps SA3 to SA7) or normal printing is performed. May be selected by the user. In addition, when the still image (one or a plurality) is printed in a state where the image file of the still image loaded from the digital camera 2 is stored in the auxiliary storage device 24, the printed matter is printed from the above-described audio data upload process. Processing up to 100 printing (steps SA3 to SA7) may be performed.

  Further, an access path (URL) including a storage location of the voice data uploaded to the voice data storage server 5 and a data name at the time of saving the stored voice data is represented by a two-dimensional code 102 (QR code) as shown in FIG. However, the character data of the access path (URL) and other code data such as a barcode may be printed together with the recorded image as a reception code in the present invention. However, in that case, in order to download and reproduce the audio data from the audio data storage server 5, a character recognition function for reading an access path that is character data from a photographed image, a bar code or the like is used as the access path. It is necessary to use a mobile phone terminal 7 or the like having a function for conversion.

  In the present embodiment, new image data overwritten with the above-described two-dimensional code 102 is created, stored, output to the printer 3, and printed. However, the following may be used. . For example, a new image file in which the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) is embedded as additional information of the image data is created and stored, and new image data in which the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) is overwritten at the time of printing. It may be created and output to the printer 3 for printing, or the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) and image data may be printed independently as shown in FIG. 6B. . Further, the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) is simply associated with the image file and stored as individual data, and new image data overwriting the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) is created at the time of printing. The two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) and the image data may be printed in an independent state as shown in FIG. 6B.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the personal computer 1 uploads audio data to the audio data storage server 5 and receives an access path (URL) of the audio data from the audio data storage server 5 has been described. When the storage location in the data storage server 5 is determined in advance, for example, when the storage location is secured for each user, the personal computer 1 may create an access path (URL). In other words, by adding the data name of each piece of voice data uploaded to the storage location name, the access path that is identification information for identifying the voice data on the network may be created.

  Also, the upload process of the voice data to the voice data storage server 5 and the print process of the printed matter 100 described above can be independent processes instead of a series of processes. For example, when the audio data upload process is performed, the received access path (URL) is simply stored in association with the image file, and then the access path is associated at any time according to a user instruction. Creation of new image data in which the two-dimensional code 102 (or access path) is overwritten and creation of a printed matter 100 or the like based on the image data may be performed for the image file that is stored. Furthermore, when the personal computer 1 creates an access path (URL), the print processing of the printed matter 100 is performed first, and then the upload processing of the sound data to the sound data storage server 5 is performed as necessary. Good.

  In the present embodiment, by installing the image distribution program in the personal computer 1 to realize the image providing system with sound of the present invention, that is, the camera means, the printing means, the reading means, the sound output means of the present invention, The audio-provided image providing system having no audio receiving unit has been described. However, if the audio data storage server 5 has a configuration capable of uploading audio data, the camera unit and / or the printing unit, Furthermore, the present invention can also be realized in an apparatus provided with reading means, sound output means, and sound receiving means. For example, a digital camera having a printer function or a data communication function, a digital copying machine having a data communication function with an external device, or the like is added with the function of printing the printed matter 100 described above, or the mobile phone terminal 7 ( The image providing system with sound of the present invention can also be realized by adding a function for processing the personal computer 1 shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the still image with sound provided to the third party via the printed material 100 is an image recorded at the time of photographing by the digital camera 2 has been described. However, the sound provided to the third party is described. The attached image may be, for example, a sound recorded with a still image at the time of shooting changed to another sound after shooting, or a still image that has already been recorded with sound added after shooting. Good. Further, the image is not limited to an image recorded by still image shooting, and may be an image of any moving image frame extracted from a moving image recorded by moving image shooting.
