The central control system 312 is configured so that the digital camera 108 is set to be connected to the wireless network by the information processing apparatus 101 wired to the USB interface 305 as the second connection unit.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation procedure and processing flow of both the digital camera 108 and the application according to the present embodiment. In the process illustrated in FIG. 5, generally, the wireless setting application 203 attempts to acquire wireless network information from the information processing apparatus 101 (OS 201 in this case), and registers the acquired information in the digital camera 108. Hereinafter, each step will be described.

  In step S501, there is an existing wireless network as a preparation. When the digital camera 108 is incorporated in the wireless network and the information processing apparatus 101 and the digital camera 108 are wirelessly connected, the information processing apparatus 101 is allowed to participate in the wireless network.

  In step S502, the digital camera 108 and the information processing apparatus 101 are connected by the USB cable 109. As a result, the digital camera 108 enters the information processing apparatus connection mode. In the information processing apparatus 101, the image device management system 207 of the OS 201 detects the connection of the digital camera 108 and activates the event monitoring application 202 registered in advance as an automatic activation application.

  In step S503, the user selects a wireless menu from the menu of the digital camera 108, and selects a wireless information setting from the menu. Specifically, the user operates the menu button 403, the set button 404, and the move button 405 while looking at the liquid crystal screen 309 of the digital camera 108 shown in FIG. Then, a wireless menu 407 is displayed, and wireless information setting 409 is selected from the menu. When connection / disconnection 408 is selected, connection / disconnection to / from the wireless network is performed.

  As a result, the setting start event A in FIG. 5 is notified to the information processing apparatus 101 through the USB interface. On the digital camera 108 side, a screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 309 to notify the user that the information processing apparatus 101 is operated.

  When the setting start event A is notified to the information processing apparatus 101, the event monitoring application 202 recognizes it and activates the wireless setting application 203.

  In step S504, the user operates the wireless setting application 203. The wireless setting application 203 generates wireless information and registers the contents in the digital camera 108 using the wireless information registration command B. When all the processes are completed, a setting end command C is transmitted from the wireless setting application 203 to the digital camera 108.

  When the digital camera 108 receives the setting end command C, the digital camera 108 displays the screen illustrated in FIG. 7 and displays the registered information on the liquid crystal screen 309.

  In step S505, the user confirms the registered contents, designates the OK button shown in FIG. 7 with the set button 404, and ends the series of processes.

  The operation of the digital camera 108 at this time will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  Step S801 is a step representing menu selection by the user, and corresponds to step S503 in FIG. If “setting of wireless information” is selected in step S801, the process proceeds to step S802.

  In step S <b> 802, a wireless setting start event is issued to the information processing apparatus 101. This corresponds to the setting start event A in FIG.

  In step S803, a standby screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 309 of the digital camera. In the following steps S804 and S806, a command from the information processing apparatus 101 is waited for.

  In step S804, it is checked whether or not the wireless information registration command B has been sent. If it has been sent (“Yes” in step S804), the process proceeds to step S805.

  In step S805, the wireless information sent by the wireless information registration command B is stored in the nonvolatile ROM 311 in the digital camera 108.

  In step S806, it is checked whether or not a setting end command has been sent. If it has been sent (“Yes” in step S806), the process proceeds to the next step S807, and if it has not been sent (“No” in step S806), the process returns to step S804.

  In step S807, the information set in step S805 is read from the nonvolatile ROM 311 and displayed on the liquid crystal screen 309 of the digital camera 108 as shown in FIG.

  In step S808, the process waits until the OK button is selected on the screen of FIG. Thereafter, when the OK button is selected on the screen of FIG. 7 (“Yes” in step S808), the process is terminated.

  Next, the operation of the application in the information processing apparatus 101 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the event monitoring application 202. The event monitoring application 202 is registered in the OS 201 as an application that is automatically started when the image device management system 207 detects the connection of the digital camera 108. Therefore, activation is performed by the OS 201.

  When the event monitoring application 202 is activated, first, in step S901, connection with the digital camera 108 is performed. This is to logically connect the event monitoring application 202 to the digital camera 108. Thereby, an event from the digital camera 108 can be acquired.

  In step S902, an event reception from the digital camera 108 is awaited. When an event is received, the process proceeds to step S903 and subsequent steps, and appropriate processes are performed.

  In step S903, it is checked whether or not the received event is a setting start event A. In the case of the setting start event A (“Yes” in step S903), the process proceeds to step S904.

  In step S904, the wireless setting application 203 is activated. Then, it progresses to step S902 and waits for a new event.

  In step S905, it is determined whether the received event is a camera disconnection notification. The camera disconnection notification is notified when the USB connection between the digital camera 108 and the information processing apparatus 101 is physically disconnected or when the digital camera 108 is turned off. Indicates that is no longer possible. If this event is received, the event monitoring application 202 is terminated.

  Next, the operation of the wireless setting application 203 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the wireless setting application 203.

  As described so far, the wireless setting application 203 is activated from the event monitoring application 202.

  When the wireless setting application 203 is activated, first, initial processing is performed in step S1001. Here, logical connection with the digital camera 108 is performed. For the user, a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 11, the wireless setting application 203 in the present embodiment is a wizard-type application, and operates a back button 1101, a next button 1102, a cancel button 1103, and the like to perform screen transition. When the next button 1102 is pressed on the screen of FIG. 11, the process proceeds to step S1002 of FIG.

  In step S1002, the screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed to prompt the user to select a setting method. Three options, “Easy Mode” 1201, “Detail Mode” 1202, and “Change of Information Registered in Camera” 1203, can be selected. In the simple mode 1201, automatic setting (collection) of wireless information is performed as much as possible by automatically acquiring wireless network information from the information processing apparatus 101 (here, the OS 201) on which the application is operating. In the detailed mode 1202, the user inputs all information using the input unit 205. A change of information registered in the digital camera 1203 is a mode for editing information registered in the digital camera 108. If the next button 1102 is pressed on this screen, the process advances to step S1003.

  In step S1003, the result selected by the user in step S1002 is referred to. If it is a change 1203 of information registered in the digital camera 108 (“Yes” in step S1003), the process proceeds to step S1014. In other cases (“No” in step S1003), the process proceeds to step S1004.

  In step S1004, when the user's selection in step S1002 is the detailed mode 1202 (“Yes” in step S1004), the process proceeds to step S1013. If not (“No” in step S1004), the process proceeds to step S1005. This is a case where the simple mode 1201 is selected in step S1002.

  In step S1005, the wireless network management system 209 included in the OS 201 attempts to acquire information on the wireless network in which the information processing apparatus 101 participates. The information is acquired using a command provided by the OS 201, but there is a case where the information cannot be acquired depending on the type of the wireless adapter 106. If it can be obtained (“Yes” in step S1005), the process proceeds to step S1008. If it cannot be obtained (“No” in step S1005), the process proceeds to step S1006.

  In step S1008, the acquired information is checked. If the information is infrastructure mode information (“Yes” in step S1008), the process proceeds to step S1012. In the case of ad hoc mode information (“No” in step S1008), the process proceeds to step S1011.

  Step S1006 is a case where wireless network information could not be acquired in step S1005 (“No” in step S1005), and a screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed to ask the user's usage environment. “Access point is used” 1301 or “There is no access point but the information processing apparatus supports a wireless network” 1302 can be selected. The former is an infrastructure network, and the latter is an ad hoc network. However, rather than using infrastructure or ad hoc options, it is easier for users who are not familiar with wireless to ask whether there is an access point device.

  If the next button 1102 is pressed in a state where “using access point” 1301 is selected (“Yes” in step S1007), the process proceeds to step S1010 in FIG. On the other hand, when the “next access button 1102 is pressed in a state where“ there is no access point but the information processing apparatus supports a wireless network ”1302 is selected (“ No ”in step S1007), the process proceeds to step S1009.

  In step S1009, FIG. 14, which is a screen for registering ad hoc network information in the digital camera 108, is displayed. Here, only the minimum necessary items are displayed. Note that the execution of step S1009 is likely to be a case where a new ad hoc network is constructed. For this reason, the wireless setting application 203 automatically generates default values for the respective items. Since the automatic generation method is not directly related to the present invention, it will be omitted. If there is a problem with the automatically generated information, the user can edit it. Of the automatically generated values, two IP addresses in the range of automatic IP addresses are generated as fixed values. One is used as information registered in the digital camera 108. The other is used when registering also in the information processing apparatus 101 performed in step S1018 described later. The reason why the range value of the automatic IP address is generated is that the environment that cannot be registered in the information processing apparatus 101 is considered in step S1018. Even in such a case, if the value of the automatic IP address is set in the digital camera 108, the information processing apparatus 101 automatically becomes an automatic IP address by the function provided by the OS 201. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 101 and the digital camera 108 are in the same subnet and can communicate.

  In step S1010, FIG. 15 which is a screen for registering infrastructure information in the digital camera 108 is displayed. Again, only the minimum required items are displayed. Since step S1010 is executed when an access point exists, the default value of each item is blank. The user checks the access point and inputs necessary information using the keyboard / mouse control system 205.

  Steps S1011 and S1012 are cases where the network information is acquired from the OS 201 in step S1005 in the simple mode, and the screens of FIGS. 16 and 17 are displayed, respectively. It can be changed if necessary.

  Step S1013 displays the input screen in the detailed mode shown in FIG. In this screen, the user needs to input using the keyboard / mouse control system 205, including the type of network, but more detailed settings are possible.

  Step S1014 displays FIG. 19 which is a screen for editing information registered in the digital camera 108. In step S1014, registered information is acquired from the digital camera 108 and displayed as a default value in FIG. When the next button 1102 is pressed on the screen of FIG. 19, a wireless information registration command is executed, and the set information is registered in the digital camera 108.

  In step 1015, the information registered in the digital camera 108 is acquired. As a result, if there is registered data, the process proceeds to step S1016 to notify the user that the registered data is overwritten. Inform.

  In step S1017, the screen shown in FIG. 20 is displayed. On this screen, the user is allowed to input a registered name using the keyboard / mouse control system 205. The registered name is displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the digital camera 108. The user can also confirm the final information to be registered. When the next button 1102 is pressed on this screen, the wireless information registration command B is executed, and the generated wireless network information is registered in the digital camera 108.

  In step S1018, the screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed to indicate that the registration of wireless information has been successful. In this screen, the registered information can be printed out by pressing a print button 2101. Since the printout method is general and is not directly related to the present invention, the description thereof is omitted. If the “Register in information processing apparatus” check box 2102 is checked and the next button 1102 is pressed, the same information as the wireless network information set in the digital camera 108 is set in the wireless network management system 209 of the OS 201. . However, this check box is valid only when it passes through step S1009.

  In step S1019, a screen as shown in FIG. 22 is displayed to notify the user that the processing has been completed. When the user clicks the completion button 2201 on this screen, a setting completion command C is executed for the digital camera 108, and after the logical connection with the digital camera 108 is disconnected, the wireless setting application 203 ends.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the wireless network setting of the digital camera 108 is performed, the information processing apparatus 101 is once connected via the USB, and the wireless setting application 203 is activated by the menu of the digital camera 108. After the setting with the wireless setting application 203 is completed, the digital camera 108 is notified of the completion from the information processing apparatus 101 and the setting content is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 309 of the digital camera 108. The wireless setting application 203 acquires information from the information processing apparatus 101 and sets it in the digital camera 108. This makes it possible to easily set a complicated wireless network.
