Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-8817 (page 3-4, FIG. 1)

  Image data read from digital cameras and media can be played back as a slideshow with music by using a recording medium created using the above service, but a slideshow with music gives a sense of unity between music and images. Since the appearance can be improved by generating the slide show, the slide show is created so that the display of the image and the reproduction of the music are synchronized.

  At that time, if the amount of image data recorded on the digital camera or media and the playback time of the music data are in an appropriate relationship, a slide show with a sense of unity can be achieved by synchronizing the image display and music playback. For example, if the amount of image data is small compared to the playback time of music data, the slide display time of one image becomes longer, resulting in a slide show that is extended. There is a problem that looks worse.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and its main purpose is to record a control program and slide show data that can easily create a good-looking slide show on a recording medium. To provide an apparatus.

  The recording apparatus of the present invention includes a data input means for inputting still image data and moving image data used in a slide show, and a time obtained by subtracting the reproduction time of the moving image data from the reproduction time of music data used in the slide show. A slide display time calculation means for calculating a slide display time for each still image data by dividing by the quantity of the still image data, and a predetermined quantity when the slide display time is longer than a predetermined reference time. Based on the image insertion means for executing the processing for inserting the still image data, the input still image data and the inserted still image data, the input moving image data, and the music data Data generation means for generating data in a specific format for playing a slide show with at least the specific format A data recording means for recording over data to the recording medium, the one in which at least comprises.

  In the present invention, the predetermined quantity is obtained by dividing a reproduction time of the music data or a time obtained by subtracting a reproduction time of the moving image data from a reproduction time of the music data by a specific time equal to or less than the reference time. It can be configured to be calculated by subtracting the quantity of the input still image data from the obtained value.

  In the present invention, the still image data to be inserted is still image data created based on the input still image data, still image data selected from the input still image data, Alternatively, it can be any of prestored still image data.

  In the present invention, the created still image data includes still image data obtained by trimming the input still image data, still image data obtained by rotating the input still image data, and the input still image. Still image data obtained by converting the color or density of the data, or still image data obtained by arranging and displaying images based on the input still image data can be included. The slide display order may be set so that the created still image data is displayed after the input still image data of the creation source.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the specific format data is any one of Video-CD format data, DVD-Video format data, or HDTV format data.

  As described above, according to the present invention, calculation is performed using the reproduction time of music data (or the time obtained by subtracting the reproduction time of moving image data from the reproduction time of music data) and the quantity of input still image data. When the slide display time for each still image data to be performed is longer than a predetermined reference time, a predetermined amount of still image data is inserted, so that the image is not displayed in a stretched manner. , You can easily create a slide show with a sense of unity between images and music.

  According to the control program and the recording apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to easily create a slide show having a sense of unity between an image and music without causing the image to be extended and displayed.

  The reason is that the playback time of music data (or the time obtained by subtracting the playback time of the input video data from the playback time of the music data) is divided by the quantity of input still image data, and the slide display for each still image data. When the time is calculated and the calculated slide display time is longer than a predetermined reference time, an image insertion process for inserting a predetermined amount of still image data is executed, and the input still image data (or still image This is because a slide show is created based on the image data and moving image data), the inserted still image data, and music data.

  Each of the above units may be configured as hardware in the recording apparatus 1. However, the computer is configured as a control program that causes at least the slide display time calculating unit 14 and the image inserting unit 15 to function. The recording apparatus 1 can be installed and executed. 1 shows a computer device such as a personal computer as the recording device 1, the form of the recording device 1 is arbitrary. For example, the recording device 1 is installed in a store such as a photo shop or a convenience store as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the recorder may be a portable device in which a terminal having a hard disk and a main body for reading and writing image data can be separated, or a car navigation device having an arithmetic processing function. it can.

  A procedure for generating slide show data (home appliance data) and recording it on the recording medium 9 using the recording apparatus 1 (control program) having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following, the case of generating data for home appliances in the Video-CD format will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to the case of generating data for home appliances in the DVD-Video format or HDTV format.

  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 recording apparatus 1. Although any commercially available recording medium can be used as the recording medium 9, data may be recorded only on a specific recording medium 9. The recording medium 9 can be identified based on whether or not identification information for identifying the recording medium 9 is recorded in this area. The content of the identification information is not limited, but if the contents of the identification information are easily known, the identification information itself is also copied. Therefore, at least a part of the identification information is information that cannot be recorded by the computer OS, Specifically, information in the program memory area, information by guide groove modulation (ATIP: Absolute Time In Pre-groove) given at the time of CD-R molding, and the like are preferable.

  Here, the structure of a general recording medium 9 (CD-R) will be described with reference to FIG. 16. The CD-R is formed on a polycarbonate substrate 100 with an organic dye layer 101 such as cyanine, phthalocyanine, or azo. A reflective layer 102 made of silver or the like 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 form pits. Recording is performed, but the laser power has an optimum value depending on the type of the laser head that irradiates the laser beam and the type of the organic dye layer 101 to be used. -The drive side needs to recognize the recommended type of R type and laser recording power. Therefore, information such as the disc application code and recommended laser recording power is written as information by guide groove modulation (ATIP) at the recording medium manufacturing stage, and this 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. Further, lead-in start time, maximum lead-out startable time, etc., which are guide groove modulation (ATIP) other than the above, can be used as identification information by appropriately setting.

  Then, in step S102, the specific recording medium 9 is identified with reference to the read identification information. If the loaded recording medium 9 is not the specific recording medium, the recording medium 9 is ejected and the process ends. Return to step S101. When the loaded recording medium 9 is a specific recording medium, the display control means 19 displays a menu screen on the display means 5 and the user operates the operation means 6 to create an album from the menu screen. Is displayed, a screen for selecting a reading destination of the image data is displayed on the display means 5. When the user operates the operation unit 6 and selects a desired reading destination, the display control unit 19 loads the display unit 5, for example, loads the medium 8 into the medium loading unit 2, or loads the digital camera 7 into the device connection unit 3. Display a message prompting you to connect.

  Next, in step S103, according to the instruction of the message, for example, when the media 8 is loaded into the media loading unit 2 of the recording apparatus 1 or the digital camera 7 is connected to the device connection unit 3, the data input unit 13 Image data (still image data or still image data and moving image data) is read from the media 8 or the digital camera 7. This image data is not limited to the image data obtained by photographing with the digital camera 7, but image data obtained by scanning a negative film or a photo print, moving image data obtained from a video tape recorder, or a moving image. Still image data obtained by capturing may be used, and the reading destination may be a recording medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R, or the server 10 connected via the communication network 11.

  Then, when the reading of the image data is finished, the display control unit 19 causes the display unit 5 to display an image selection screen 20 as shown in FIG. The image selection screen 20 includes a list display field 21 for displaying a list of images based on the read image data, an enlarged display field 22 for displaying an image selected from the list, an operation menu field 23 for selecting an operation, and the like. After selecting image data as necessary, processing such as changing the order of images, inputting a title, creating a photo frame, and synthesizing characters with an image is performed.

  Next, when a button for selecting music data to be played back as BGM (“Select BGM” button) is selected from the work menu column 23 in step S105, the display control means 19 displays the display means 5 in FIG. A BGM selection screen 24 as shown is displayed. The BGM selection screen 24 includes a reading destination selection column 25 for selecting a reading destination of music data, a list display column 26 for displaying a list of music data recorded at the selected reading destination, and a work menu for selecting an operation. A column 23 and the like are provided, and a desired reading destination is selected from the reading destination selection column 25, and music data to be used as a slide show BGM is selected from the music data recorded in the selected reading destination.

Next, in step S106, the slide display time calculation unit 14 calculates the slide display time of the input still image data or the selected still image data (hereinafter described as input still image data). Specifically, when the input image data is composed only of still image data, the reproduction time of the music data is read from the header information of the selected music data as shown in the following formula 1, The slide display time (T _SLIDE ) for each still image data is calculated by dividing the reproduction time (T _BGM ) of the music data by the quantity (N _PHOTO ) of the still image data. If the input image data is composed of still image data and moving image data, the reproduction time of the moving image data is read from the header information of the moving image data, etc. The slide display time (T _SLIDE ) for each still image data is calculated by subtracting the playback time (T _MOVIE ) of the moving image data from the data playback time (T _BGM ) and dividing it by the number of still image data (N _PHOTO ). To do. For example, when the reproduction time of music data is 2 minutes and the number of still image data is 10, the slide display time of each still image data is 12 seconds from Equation 1.

T _SLIDE = T _BGM / N _PHOTO (1)
T _SLIDE = (T _BGM -T _MOVIE ) / N _PHOTO (2)

  Next, in step S107, the image inserting unit 15 compares the calculated slide display time for each still image data with a predetermined reference time. This reference time is a time that is empirically derived as the maximum allowable time during which still images can be viewed without delay when still image data is played back as a slide show, and should be, for example, about 10 seconds. Can do.

And as a result of the comparison, if the calculated slide display time is shorter than the reference time, the process skips to step S112 to generate data for home appliances, and if the calculated slide display time is longer than the reference time, In S108, the number of image data to be inserted is calculated using the image insertion means 15. Specifically, music data playback time (T _BGM ), still image data quantity (N _PHOTO ), video data playback time (T _MOVIE ) if necessary, and a predetermined recommended slide display time Based on (t _SLIDE ), the quantity (N _INSERT ) of image data to be inserted is calculated according to the following formula 3 or 4. For example, if the music data playback time is 2 minutes, the number of still image data is 10, and the recommended slide display time is 8 seconds, the number of still image data to be inserted is 5. The recommended value of the slide display time may be the same time as the reference time described above, or may be a time shorter than the reference time.

N _INSERT = T _BGM / t _SLIDE -N _PHOTO (3)
N _INSERT = (T _BGM −T _MOVIE ) / t _SLIDE −N _PHOTO (4)

  Next, in step S109, it is selected whether the still image data to be inserted is to be automatically created or manually created by the user himself. If this is to be done automatically, the insertion is performed using the image insertion means 15 in step S110. Create still image data. The still image data to be inserted may be data related to the input still image data or may be unrelated data, and the following three methods can be considered as a method of creating the data.

  The first method is a method of newly creating still image data to be inserted based on input still image data. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, a specific area (for example, an area where a person is displayed) is extracted from input still image data using a known image processing technique, and the area is extracted. Trimming, rotation of the input still image data as shown in FIG. 11B, or conversion and insertion of the color and density of the input still image data as shown in FIG. 11C Still image data to be generated is created, or as shown in FIG. 11D, still image data to be displayed (multi-displayed) by arranging images based on the input still image data is created. One still image data to be inserted may be created for each input still image data, a plurality of still image data may be created, or the number of created still image data may be changed for each input still image data. Also good. Still image data to be inserted may be created for all of the input still image data, or when the amount of still image data calculated in step S108 is smaller than the amount of input still image data. Still image data to be inserted into a part of the input still image data may be created.

  The second method is a method of selecting still image data to be inserted from input still image data. For example, representative still image data (for example, the first input still image data) is selected from the input still image data, or a known image processing technique is selected from the input still image data. The characteristic still image data (for example, still image data on which a person is displayed) is selected. In this case as well, one or a plurality of representative still image data and characteristic still image data may be selected.

  The third method is a method of using still image data stored in advance. For example, still image data or the like obtained by photographing a landscape of the seasons is stored in the storage unit 18, and desired still image data (for example, still image data suitable for the season at that time) is selected from the stored still image data. Any one of the first to third methods may be used, these methods may be combined, or other methods other than the above may be used.

  When the image data to be inserted is manually created in step S109, the user selects the still image data to be inserted by using the image selection screen 20 described above in step S111, or performs trimming, rotation, color, etc. Processing such as conversion and density conversion is performed, and processing such as selecting desired still image data from still image data stored in advance in the storage unit 18 is performed.

  Thereafter, the data generation means 16 is used to generate home appliance data based on the input still image data (or still image data and moving image data), the inserted still image data, and music data. The method will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG.

  First, if necessary, the input still image data or the still image data to be inserted is converted into a YUV format (a format in which colors are represented by three information of luminance, a difference between luminance and red components, and a difference between luminance and blue components). After the conversion, in step S112, the data generation means 16 is used to create moving image data in a predetermined format (here, MPEG1 format). In addition, when moving image data is included in the input image data and the file format of the moving image data is different from a predetermined format, the file format of the moving image data is converted. The method for creating the moving image data from the still image data is not particularly limited. When reproducing the still image data based on the slide effect set by the slide show program, the moving image data is generated by adding the difference data based on the slide effect. What is necessary is just to add the data of the difference 0 for slide display time, and to produce | generate moving image data, when displaying the same image for a fixed time.

  Note that when creating moving image data, the insertion position of still image data to be inserted can be set as appropriate based on the relationship with the input still image data. For example, when still image data to be inserted is created based on input still image data, since the relationship between the original image and the inserted image is high, as shown in FIG. A corresponding insertion image may be inserted, or when still image data to be inserted is selected from the image data stored in the storage means 18, there is no relationship between the original image and the insertion image. As shown in FIG. 10, the inserted images may be inserted at a predetermined position such as after the original image, or the input still image data and the inserted still image data are rearranged in any order. May be.

  Next, in step S113, the music data is synthesized with the moving image data using the data generation means 16. Here, if the input image data does not include moving image data, the music data may be synthesized with the moving image data created from the still image data. However, the input image data includes moving image data. Is included, the still image data slide display is performed for the time obtained by subtracting the video data playback time from the music data playback time, so the music data is stored in advance for the video data playback time. The data is divided into still image music data for the slide display time of the still image data, and the movie data (Stillmovie) created from the still image data and the still image music data (BGM1S) are combined and input The video data (Movie1) and the music data for video (BGM1M) are synthesized.

  Next, in step S114, the data generation means 16 is used to convert the MPEG1 format moving image data combined with the music data into data in a format that can be played back by home appliances (for example, Video-CD format in the case of CD-R). In the case of DVD-R, data is converted into DVD-Video format, and in the case of Blu-ray disc, data is converted into HDTV format). At that time, the moving image data created from the still image data and the input moving image data may be collectively converted into one data, or the moving image data created from the still image data may be converted as one segment. .

  Next, the image data input to the recording medium 9 and the generated home appliance data are recorded. At this time, since the recording area in which the home appliance can read the data is limited, the data is stored in step S115. The recording means 17 writes the home appliance data on the inner peripheral side of the logical address area of the recording medium 9. The logical address area is an area in which user data (program) is recorded, such as a program memory area in which user data arrangement information is recorded, a lead-in / TOC (Table Of Contents) area, and a lead-out area. Does not include the information area, the application code of the disc, the recommended value of laser recording power, and the area of guide groove modulation (ATIP) information in which other information is recorded. Shall be pointed to.

  Next, after closing the session if necessary, in step S116, the data recording means 17 is for home appliances in which the input still image data, moving image data, etc. are recorded at the tip of the recording medium 9 as necessary. Write outside the data and end the series of processing.

  Various types of information are recorded on the recording medium 9 created in the above procedure, as shown in FIG. 15. Identification information is recorded outside the innermost logical address area of the disk type recording medium 9, and on the outside thereof. Home appliance data is recorded on the inner peripheral side of the logical address area, and computer data is recorded on the outer area.

  Further, the directory structure of the recording medium 9 created by the above procedure is as shown in FIG. 14A, for example. The input still image data and moving image data, the inserted still image data, music data, slide show “SEGMENT”, which is an image data for associating image data in the “VCD” folder as a Video-CD format. Data for home appliances is configured by image data to be displayed on the TV screen in the “folder”, moving image data in the “MPEGAV” folder, an application for displaying still image data on the TV screen in the “DAT” folder, and the like. Further, the directory structure of the recording medium 9 (DVD-R) is as shown in FIG. 14B, for example, and the home appliance data includes the video manager (VMG) and the video title set (in the “VIDEO_TS” folder). VTS) constitutes home appliance data (DVD-Video data). More specifically, the VMG is composed of VIDEO_TS.IFO in which information for controlling the entire video is recorded, VIDEO_TS.BUP that is a backup file thereof, and VIDEO_TS.VOB file for a title selection menu. , VTS _ ** _ 0.IFO that describes the information that controls the entire VTS, VTS _ ** _ 0.BUP that is the backup file, VTS _ ** _ *. VOB that is the video data of each VTS title, etc. The

  Although the directory structure of the image data is arbitrary, in order to facilitate management when the image data is backed up to a computer device or the like, for example, as shown in FIG. 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, product category (0 to Z), xxx: Sequential number), etc., and each image data is CCYYMMDDxxxxxx (CC: Image data Type, YYMMDD: Number specifying the date of writing, xxxxxx: Sequential number), etc. can be renamed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the amount of still image data used for creating a slide show and the reproduction time of music data reproduced together with images (or the reproduction time of moving image data are subtracted from the reproduction time of music data). The slide display time for each still image data is calculated according to the formula 1 or 2, and when the calculated slide display time is longer than a predetermined reference time, a predetermined quantity is calculated according to the formula 3 or 4. The still image data insertion process is executed, and a slide show is created based on the input still image data (or still image data and moving image data) and the inserted still image data and music data. It is easy to create a nice-looking slideshow that will not be displayed.

  The present invention is characterized by slide display time calculation processing and image insertion processing (steps S106 to S111), and the order and contents of other processing such as recording medium identification processing may be changed as appropriate. .
