Description

  The present invention relates to an image reproduction device, a control method for the image reproduction device, a program, and a storage medium, and in particular, has a unit that can simultaneously mount a plurality of recording media and connect to a printing device, and is recorded in a distributed manner on each recording medium. The present invention relates to a technique suitable for use in batch printing of a series of existing images.

  When printing a digital image taken with a digital camera or a digital video camera, conventionally, the digital image is once transferred to a computer and then printed on a computer using a printing software or the like with a printer connected to the computer. I was going. Currently, a digital camera having a connection interface with a printer is on the market, and means for printing a digital image by directly connecting the printer to the digital camera without transferring the digital image to a computer is provided.

  At this time, a means is defined in which print settings such as paper size, paper type, and layout are transmitted from the digital camera to the printer for printing. For this reason, many digital cameras provide a user interface for selecting a paper size, a paper type, and a layout.

  In addition to a single print function for printing images one by one while confirming images that the user wants to print, some have a multiple selection print function for printing a plurality of preselected images at once. Further, not only one image can be printed on one sheet of paper, but also an N-side arrangement in which N images are arranged and printed in an index form (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  As a recording medium of a digital camera, a memory card using a nonvolatile memory is mainly used. On the other hand, a digital video camera generally uses a tape for recording moving images and a memory card for recording still images. However, in recent years, the number of disc camcorders that record video on a writable large-capacity disc such as a DVD-R has increased, and products that can record not only moving images but also still images on the disc as image files have been released. .

  On the other hand, in such a disc camcorder, a still image may be recorded separately on a memory card and a disc as a still image file. For this reason, when printing an image from a memory card with a disc camcorder, it is necessary to select a recording medium in which the image to be printed is recorded as an image file in advance. For example, it is conceivable to switch the operation mode of the main body for each recording medium, such as a memory card still image mode and a disc still image mode.

  However, there is a problem in that images relating to a plurality of image files respectively recorded on a memory card and a disc cannot be printed at once, and must be printed separately while performing a mode switching operation. . Therefore, in order to collectively print images related to a plurality of image files, a state in which the image files recorded on one recording medium are copied to the other recording medium and all the image files are recorded on one recording medium. There is a means to make it. Some recording media can be used to freely select and print images related to a plurality of image files.

JP 2004-254296 A

  However, in the conventional example, it is necessary to copy the image file recorded on one recording medium to the other recording medium. For this reason, in order to print with the N-side arrangement, it is necessary to perform an operation for copying to the other recording medium before printing, and the remaining capacity of the recording medium is wasted and the other recording medium is used. When there is no free space on the medium, N-side layout printing cannot be executed. Further, when copying to the other recording medium, the image file is copied following the last image file of the copy destination recording medium, so that the intended printing order may be changed.

  An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily print a series of images distributed and recorded on a plurality of recording media collectively in an intended order.

  The image reproduction apparatus of the present invention includes an image reproduction unit that reproduces an image signal from a plurality of recording media, a print image designation unit that adds print designation information to the image signal reproduced by the image reproduction unit, and the print Print condition setting means for setting the print condition of the image signal to which the print designation information is added by the image designation means, and recording on the plurality of recording media according to the print condition set by the print condition setting means. And print processing means for causing the printing apparatus to print the images related to the existing image signals side by side.

  An image reproduction apparatus control method according to the present invention includes an image reproduction step of reproducing an image signal from a plurality of recording media, and a print image designation step of adding print designation information to the image signal reproduced in the image reproduction step. A printing condition setting step for setting a printing condition of the image signal to which the printing designation information is added in the printing image designation step; and a plurality of recording media according to the printing condition set in the printing condition setting step. And a print processing step of causing the printing apparatus to print the images related to the recorded image signals side by side.

  The program of the present invention includes an image reproduction step for reproducing image signals from a plurality of recording media, a print image designation step for adding print designation information to the image signals reproduced in the image reproduction step, and the print image designation A printing condition setting step for setting printing conditions of the image signal to which the printing designation information is added in the step, and images recorded on the plurality of recording media according to the printing conditions set in the printing condition setting step And a printing processing step of causing the printing apparatus to print the images related to the signals side by side and print the images.

  The storage medium of the present invention stores the above program.

  According to the present invention, print designation information is added to image signals recorded on a plurality of recording media, and the image signals recorded on the plurality of recording media according to the set printing conditions The images were arranged and printed on the printing device. Thereby, it is possible to easily print the images related to a series of image signals distributed and recorded on a plurality of recording media in a batch in the intended order.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of an image reproduction device 100 according to the present embodiment.

Further, the present invention can also be implemented using a personal computer having a function for reproducing a recording medium and equipped with dedicated printing software. Furthermore, the image reproducing apparatus of the present invention may have not only reproducing means but also recording means for recording an image on a recording medium. The image reproduction apparatus 100 in FIG. 1 also has an image recording means, and examples of such an image reproduction apparatus include a digital camera.

  The printing apparatus 101 includes an interface for connecting to the image reproduction apparatus 100 and is connected to the image reproduction apparatus 100 via a connection cable 102. As such an interface, in addition to a wired connection such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), wireless connection such as IEEE 802.11b is also possible.

  The data communication unit 103 transmits a print control signal and an image data signal to the printing apparatus 101 in accordance with an instruction from the print processing unit 112 described later. Further, a signal for notifying that the printing apparatus 101 is connected and a signal for notifying that printing is completed are received from the printing apparatus 101.

  The image reproducing apparatus 100 can simultaneously mount the first recording medium 104a and the second recording medium 104b, and can switch the recording medium from which the image is reproduced according to the operation of the operation panel 109. . In the present embodiment, only two recording media are illustrated, but two or more recording media (104c, 104d,...) May be mounted. Further, the first recording medium 104a and the second recording medium 104b may be different types of recording media. For example, a semiconductor memory card can be used as the first recording medium 104a, and a recording disk such as a DVD-R can be used as the second recording medium 104b.

  Next, the image recording means and the reproduction operation will be described. When a shutter switch (not shown) is pressed, the imaging unit 107 converts a signal sent from the CCD into a digital signal by an A / D converter (not shown), and stores it as image data in the frame memory 108. The first image recording unit 105a (or the second image recording unit 105b) encodes the image data stored in the frame memory 108 into an appropriate format such as JPEG, and the first recording medium 104a (or the second image recording unit 105a). The image file (image signal) is written in the recording medium 104b).

  Further, the first image reproduction unit 106a (or the second image reproduction unit 106b) serving as an image reproduction unit reads out the image file recorded on the first recording medium 104a (or the second recording medium 104b). Then, the image format such as JPEG is decoded and developed in the frame memory 108. The developed image data is displayed as an image on the operation panel 109.

FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation panel 109 in the present embodiment.
The display panel 201 is a display device (for example, a liquid crystal panel) that can display image data and specific bitmap data stored in the frame memory 108 as an image.

  The image return button 202 and the image advance button 203 are used when selecting an image to be displayed on the display panel 201. The upper button 204 and the lower button 205 are mainly used when the cursor is moved when a plurality of selectable items are displayed on the display panel 201. When the setting button 206 is pressed, the item selected with the cursor is executed. In addition, when the menu button 207 is pressed, functions that are currently available are displayed as a menu.

In addition, numerical buttons may be provided on the operation panel 109 so that numerical values can be directly input. Thereafter, when the setting button 206 is pressed, the “image file name” of the selected image and the set “number of prints” are added to the print image list.

  The created print image list is recorded on the selected first recording medium 104a (or second recording medium 104b). Even when the first recording medium 104a (or the second recording medium 104b) is removed, the print image list can be read from the recording medium when the recording medium is next attached.

  Further, DPOF (Direct Print Order Format) is standardized as a format of such a print image list. In this embodiment, by using this standard specification, DPOF information set by another device can be directly read and printing can be executed.

  Next, the printing condition setting unit 111 that is a printing condition setting unit will be described. The print condition setting unit 111 is a means for setting print conditions in order to print an image set in the print image list. When the image reproduction apparatus 100 is connected to the printing apparatus 101, a signal notifying that the printing apparatus 101 is connected is sent from the data communication unit 103 to the printing condition setting unit 111. Then, the printing condition setting unit 111 displays a screen indicating that the printing apparatus 101 is connected on the display panel 201.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed when the printing apparatus 101 is connected. When the menu button 207 is pressed while the printing apparatus 101 is connected, the menu shown in FIG. 4B is displayed. The print condition setting unit 111 reads a print image list recorded on the first recording medium 104a or the second recording medium 104b, and sets a “print execution” item for sequentially printing the designated images on the menu item. indicate.

  FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of a print setting input screen displayed when the “print execution” item is selected from the menu and the setting button 206 is pressed. Print parameter items related to printing are displayed on the print setting input screen, and when the upper button 204 or the lower button 205 is pressed, the cursor moves on the print parameter item so that the print parameter item can be selected. When the cursor is placed on the print parameter item to be set and the setting button 206 is pressed, a screen for selecting the value of the print parameter item is displayed.

  FIG. 4D is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for selecting a layout parameter. As shown in FIG. 4D, selectable parameter values (“Bordered”, “Borderless”, “Two-sided arrangement”, etc.) are displayed. When the up button 204 or the down button 205 is pressed, the cursor moves on the parameter value so that the parameter value can be selected. When the cursor is moved to the parameter value to be set and the setting button 206 is pressed, the selected layout is set and the screen returns to the print setting input screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4E is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for selecting a recording medium on which an image file to be printed is recorded. On the medium selection screen shown in FIG. 4E, “medium 1”, “medium 2”,... “Medium N” are displayed as settable items. When each item is selected and the setting button 206 is pressed, a check mark indicating that a recording medium has been selected is displayed on the left side of the item. In the screen example shown in FIG. 4E, the medium 1 has a check mark and the medium 2 has no check mark. A plurality of recording media can be selected. When the selection of the recording medium is completed, “Next” is selected and the setting button 206 is pressed, a screen for selecting the order of images to be printed is displayed.

  FIG. 4F is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen for selecting the order of images to be printed. In the print order selection screen shown in FIG. 4F, items that can be set include “date order”, “file name order”, “favorite order”, “medium order”, “medium order page break”, and the like. Yes. When the up button 204 or the down button 205 is pressed, the cursor moves on the parameter value so that the parameter value can be selected. When the cursor is placed on the parameter value to be set and the setting button 206 is pressed, the selected printing order is set, and the screen returns to the print setting input screen shown in FIG.

  In the “date order” as an example of the print order, the image files recorded on the selected recording medium are arranged in order of photographing time, imaged, and printed, so that they can be printed in chronological order through the recording medium. In “file name order”, printing is performed in group order when images are grouped by folder name or file name by printing in order of file name.

  Further, in the present embodiment, information indicating the degree of favorite of the image (for example, the number of times the image has been reproduced) can be input in the header information of the image, etc. The item “order” is provided. When this item is selected, it is possible to confirm the printout of his favorite image first.

  Further, in the “medium order”, prints can be easily managed for each recording medium by performing printing in the order of the selected recording medium and in the order of each print image list without rearranging the images. Further, in “page order in medium order”, printing is performed in the same order in the recording medium, but page breaks are performed if necessary at the change of the recording medium. In “Medium order page break”, when a layout that prints multiple images on a single sheet of paper such as a two-sided layout is selected in the layout parameter, images from different recording media are mixed on a single sheet. It is possible to prevent this from occurring, and it is possible to divide the printing paper for each recording medium.

  Also, when the “information printing” item in FIG. 4C is selected and the setting button 206 is pressed, “ON” and “OFF” are switched. When the “information print” item is “ON”, the image file name and image information of the shooting date and time are printed together with the image. Furthermore, when printing images on a plurality of recording media, by printing information (for example, a character string such as “card”, “disc”, etc.) indicating on which recording medium the image file is recorded, The user can specify the recording medium and manage the images more easily.

  The information indicating the recording medium may be printed with a symbol such as an icon. Further, the recording medium may be indicated by changing the print character color of the image information for each recording medium. As a result, the print space can be reduced, and information can be provided even when there is not enough space for printing image information.

  Also, when the “duplicate printing” item in FIG. 4C is selected and the setting button 206 is pressed, “ON” and “OFF” are switched. When the “duplicate print” item is “off”, when the same image file exists in the first recording medium 104a and the second recording medium 104b, one of the image files is imaged and printed. You can avoid it. On the other hand, when the “overlapping print” item is “ON”, both the first and second recording media 104a and 104b print even if the same image file exists. You can

  When “duplicate printing” is set to “off”, it is possible to prevent the same image from being printed, and it is possible to reduce the printing time and waste of consumables. If the “information printing” item is “ON”, information indicating that a copied image exists may be printed together with the original image information. After setting each print parameter to a desired value, when the cursor is set to “print” and the setting button 206 is pressed, printing is executed with the set print parameter.

  Next, the print processing unit 112 serving as a print processing unit will be described. The print processing unit 112 is a unit that generates print information to be transmitted to the printing apparatus 101 from the print image list and print parameters in accordance with an instruction from the print condition setting unit 111. The print information includes a print parameter set in the print condition setting unit 111 and an image information list for instructing an image to be printed.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure by the print processing unit 112 in the present embodiment.
First, the image file name and the image information of the number of printed sheets corresponding to the image file are read from the print image list corresponding to the first recording medium 104a or the second recording medium 104b (step S501). Next, the image information is converted into image information in accordance with a communication method with the printing apparatus 101 (step S502).

  Next, according to the printing order selected by the printing condition setting unit 111, the image information is added to a predetermined position in the image information list (step S503). Then, it is determined whether or not the reading of the image information has been completed up to the end of the print image list (step S504). If the result of this determination is that image information has not been read to the end, the process returns to step S501.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S504 that image information has been read to the end, it is determined whether image information has been read from all recording media (step S505). If the result of this determination is that reading of image information from all recording media has not been completed, the setting is changed to the recording medium to be read next (step S506), and the flow returns to step S501.

  On the other hand, if the image information has been read from all the recording media as a result of the determination in step S505, the data communication unit 103 is instructed to transmit the print information, print job, and image data to the printing apparatus 101. (Step S507). Thereafter, a print completion notice is received from the printing apparatus 101, and the printing process is completed (step S508).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the image information list. In the image information list, information such as a recording medium number, an image file name, the number of copies, a shooting date and time, and a favorite degree are registered. In the process of adding image information to a predetermined position in the image information list (step S503), when the print order is set to “date order”, the image information is created in the order shown in FIG. Specifically, the shooting date and time of the image to be added and the shooting date and time of the image registered in the image information list are compared in size from the top, and the position to be added is determined. The same applies when the print order is set to “file name order” or “favorite order”. In addition to comparing in order from the top, other faster sorting methods may be used.

  FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating a result of registration in the order of media. When the printing order is set to “medium order” or “medium order page break”, it is not necessary to sort in particular, and it is only necessary to add to the end of the image information list.

  When “overlap printing” is set to “off”, the image is not registered if the same image is compared with the image registered in the image information list. At this time, as a comparison method, the comparison time is shortened by judging the identity only from header information such as the original image file name, shooting date and time, and file size, in addition to completely comparing the entire image files. May be.

  An example of the final print result is shown in FIG. FIG. 7A shows a result of printing in a nine-surface layout, which is printed in order of date and time. FIG. 7B similarly shows the result of printing with a nine-plane layout, which are printed in the order of the recording media.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, images recorded on a plurality of recording media can be printed in a desired order, and images recorded on a plurality of recording media are printed on the same sheet in N-side layout. be able to. In addition, since it is not necessary for the user to execute a copy operation before printing, the time required for the print operation can be reduced. Furthermore, printing can be performed without wasting the free capacity of the recording medium, and printing can be performed even when the recording medium has no free capacity. In addition, since the user can arbitrarily set the printing order of images, unintended printing results can be prevented, and time and consumables can be saved.
