And a signal processing circuit that generates digital image data by performing A / D conversion after performing signal processing such as the above.

  The display unit 4 is realized by using a display panel made of liquid crystal, organic EL, or the like, and appropriately displays operation information of the imaging apparatus 1 and information related to photographing in addition to image data.

  The input unit 5 includes a power button of the imaging apparatus 1, a release button for inputting a release signal for giving an imaging instruction, a mode switching button for switching various operation modes that can be set by the imaging apparatus 1, and instructions for reproducing and editing image data. Control buttons including The input unit 5 includes a voice input unit 51 that receives voice input and generates voice data of the voice. Note that a touch panel may be stacked on the display unit 4 as the input unit 5 so that the user can input an operation signal on the display unit 4.

  The storage unit 8 includes an image information storage unit 81 that stores image information of an image captured by the imaging unit 2 and a program storage unit 82 that stores various programs executed by the imaging device 1. The storage unit 8 is realized by using a semiconductor memory such as a flash memory or a DRAM fixedly provided inside the imaging apparatus 1. Note that the storage unit 8 may be provided with a function as a recording medium interface for reading information recorded on a recording medium while recording information on a computer-readable recording medium such as a memory card mounted from the outside. Good.

  The communication unit 9 performs wireless communication such as wireless LAN (Local Area Network) or infrared communication with the display device 21 that displays an image. Note that communication between the communication unit 9 and the display device 21 may be realized by wire.

  The control unit 10 includes an image information generation unit 101 that generates image information using image data and information related to the image data. The information related to the image data here includes audio data generated by the audio input unit 51, data generation date and time of the image data, and the like. The control unit 10 is realized using an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) or the like, and is connected to each component of the imaging device 1 that is a control target via a bus line.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating types of main modes that can be set by the imaging apparatus 1 having the above configuration. The imaging apparatus 1 can set at least a shooting mode for shooting an image and a playback mode for playing back a shot image. Among these, four types of playback modes can be set: normal playback mode, playback image transmission mode, slide show mode, and slide show image transmission mode. The normal reproduction mode is a mode in which an image selected via the input unit 5 among images included in the image information stored in the image information storage unit 81 is reproduced and displayed on the display unit 4. The reproduction image transmission mode is a mode in which the communication unit 9 transmits the image information of the selected image to the display device 21 every time an image is selected via the input unit 5. The slide show mode is a mode in which a predetermined plurality of images among images included in the image information stored in the image information storage unit 81 are automatically and continuously reproduced and displayed on the display unit 4. The slide show image transmission mode is a mode in which image information of images to be displayed as a slide show on the display device 21 is automatically and continuously transmitted to the display device 21.

  Next, the configuration of the display device 21 will be described. The display device 21 is sent from the imaging device 1, a communication unit 22 that transmits and receives various types of information including image information to and from the imaging device 1, an input unit 23 that receives input of various types of information including operation instructions, and the like. A data processing unit 24 that performs predetermined processing on image data and audio data included in image information, an output unit 25 that outputs various types of information including images and audio processed by the data processing unit 24, and a display And a control unit 26 that controls the operation of the device 21.

  The output unit 25 includes a display unit 251 that displays an image and an audio output unit 252 that outputs audio. The display unit 251 is realized using liquid crystal, organic EL, or the like. If the display unit 251 has a large screen, it is suitable for viewing an image with a large number of people.

  The display device 21 having the above configuration can be realized using, for example, a television, a projector, a personal computer, or a digital photo frame. In this case, the display device 21 may be provided with display switching means for switching between displaying an image based on the image data sent from the imaging device 1 and displaying an image based on other functions.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an outline of characteristic processing performed by the imaging device 1, and is a diagram illustrating an overview of processing when the imaging device 1 is set to the slide show image transmission mode. Under the situation shown in FIG. 3, the displayed images are different between the display unit 4 of the imaging device 1 and the display unit 251 of the display device 21. Specifically, the display unit 4 displays an image of a baby crying, while the display unit 251 displays an image of a baby being held by an adult and laughing. Of these two images, the image displayed on the display unit 251 is the image displayed on the display unit 4 one before. This is because the image information of the image to be switched by the communication unit 9 is transmitted to the display device 21 at the timing when the imaging device 1 switches the display on the display unit 4, so that the display switching on the display unit 251 is the display on the display unit 4. This is because it is slightly delayed from the switching. One cause of this delay is that a transmission preparation period necessary for confirming image information to be transmitted and executing a transmission operation is provided.

  When the user u utters a word at the timing shown in FIG. 3, the voice input unit 51 generates voice data based on the word. The audio data generated by the audio input unit 51 is associated with the image information of the image displayed on the display unit 251 by the image information generation unit 101, and new image information is generated. That is, the words ("I was happy at this time") uttered by the user u at the timing shown in FIG. 3 are associated with the image information most recently transmitted by the communication unit 9 by the image information generation unit 101. Therefore, it is recommended for the user u to utter words corresponding to the display content of the display unit 251.

  When the communication unit 9 transmits image information generated by the image information generation unit 101 associating audio data to the display device 21, the display device 251 displays an image included in the image information while the display unit 251 displays the image. The audio output unit 252 outputs audio included in the image information. Therefore, the display device 21 that has received the image information with audio data generated under the situation shown in FIG. 3 displays the same image as that shown in FIG. "I was happy at the time."

  In this way, in the first embodiment, since a slide show with audio data can be performed, the viewer can enjoy the slide show while listening to the additional information by audio. In addition, the photographer (user u in FIG. 3) does not have to repeat the same description every time the slide show is performed. Further, when a slide show is watched with a large number of people at the time of voice input, the response of the viewer is also recorded as voice data, so that the viewer's response can be enjoyed when watching later.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of processing when the imaging apparatus 1 is set to the shooting mode or the playback mode. First, when the imaging device 1 is set to the shooting mode (step S1: shooting mode), the display unit 4 displays an image (through image) captured by the imaging unit 2 (step S2). When a release button that is part of the input unit 5 is pressed and a release signal is input (step S3: Yes), the imaging unit 2 captures an image under the control of the control unit 10 (step S4). . Thereafter, the control unit 10 adds information such as data generation date and time to the image data generated by the imaging unit 2 and subjected to image processing by the image processing unit 3 with reference to the output of the clock 7, and the storage unit 8 is written and recorded (step S5).

  Thereafter, when an end instruction to end shooting is input by the input unit 5 (step S6: Yes), the imaging device 1 ends a series of processes. On the other hand, when the end instruction is not input by the input unit 5 (step S6: No), the imaging device 1 returns to step S1.

  If the release button is not pressed in step S3 (step S3: No), the imaging apparatus 1 proceeds to step S6.

  Next, a case where the imaging device 1 is set to the playback mode (step S1: playback mode) will be described. In this case, the imaging device 1 reproduces and displays the captured image selected by the input from the input unit 5 on the display unit 4 (step S7). When performing step S7, the user can input an instruction for selecting and deleting an image to be reproduced and displayed via the input unit 5.

  The processing following step S7 differs depending on the mode in which the imaging device 1 is set. First, the case where the imaging device 1 is set to the slide show image transmission mode will be described. In this case, since the imaging apparatus 1 performs a slide show (step S8: Yes) and transmits image information (step S9: Yes), the communication unit 9 transmits image information for the slide show (step S10). Thereafter, for example, a message “Do you want to continue?” Is displayed on the display unit 4 to prompt the user to select whether or not to continue the image reproduction. Thereafter, when an instruction to end image reproduction is input by the input unit 5 (step S11: Yes), the imaging device 1 ends a series of processes. On the other hand, when an instruction to end image reproduction is not input by the input unit 5 (step S11: No), the imaging device 1 returns to step S1.

  Next, the case where the imaging device 1 is set to the slide show mode will be described. In this case, since the imaging apparatus 1 performs a slide show (step S8: Yes) and does not transmit image information (step S9: No), the display unit 4 executes a slide show of the captured images (step S12). ), Go to step S11.

  Next, the case where the imaging device 1 is set to the reproduction image transmission mode will be described. In this case, since the imaging apparatus 1 does not perform the slide show (step S8: No) and transmits the image information (step S13: Yes), the communication unit 9 displays the image information of the image reproduced and displayed on the display unit 4. Is transmitted to the display device 21 (step S14), and the process proceeds to step S11.

  Next, a case where the imaging device 1 is set to the normal playback mode will be described. In this case, the imaging apparatus 1 does not perform the slide show (Step S8: No) and does not transmit the image information (Step S13: No), and thus proceeds directly to Step S11.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing details of the image information transmission process for the slide show in step S10. In FIG. 5, the imaging device 1 first transmits a trigger signal to the display device 21 (step S101).

  Thereafter, when there is a response from the display device 21 within a predetermined time (step S102: Yes), the imaging device 1 transmits image information of the image reproduced by the display unit 4 to the display device 21 (step S102). S103). On the other hand, when there is no response from the display device 21 within the predetermined time (step S102: No), the display unit 4 outputs a warning (step S104), returns to the main routine of FIG. 4, and proceeds to step S11.

  When there is a response (image acquisition notification) from the display device 21 within a predetermined time after the imaging device 1 transmits image information to the display device 21 in step S103 (step S105: Yes), the imaging device 1 The image to be reproduced and displayed on the display unit 4 is switched (step S106). Thereafter, when a sound is input via the sound input unit 51 (step S107: Yes) and sound data corresponding to the image being reproduced is not recorded (step S108: No), the image information generation unit 101 The image data including the audio data is generated by associating the audio data generated by the audio input unit 51 during the image switching with the most recently transmitted image information, and the generated image information is stored in the image information storage unit 81. (Step S109). After new image information is generated in step S109, the original image information is deleted.

  After that, when the imaging device 1 finishes the image information transmission process for the slide show (step S110: Yes), the process returns to the main routine of FIG. 4 and proceeds to step S11. Here, the case where the image pickup apparatus 1 finishes the transmission process of the image information for the slide show includes the case where the transmission of the image information constituting the slide show is finished and the case where the end instruction is input by the input unit 5. When the imaging device 1 does not end the image information transmission process for the slide show (step S110: No), the imaging device 1 returns to step S103.

  Next, a case where there is no response from the display device 21 within a predetermined time after the imaging device 1 transmits image information to the display device 21 in step S103 (step S105: No) will be described. In this case, the display unit 4 outputs a warning (step S111), and proceeds to step S110.

  If no audio is input via the audio input unit 51 in step S107 (step S107: No), and if audio data corresponding to the image being reproduced is recorded in step S108 (step S108: Yes), imaging is performed. The apparatus 1 proceeds to step S110.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of the slide show execution process in step S12. First, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of reproduction display in step S7 (step S121: Yes), audio is input via the audio input unit 51 (step S122: Yes), and the display unit 4 is being reproduced. When the image information corresponding to the image does not have audio data (step S123: No), the image information generation unit 101 associates the audio data generated by the audio input unit 51 with the image information of the image being displayed, thereby generating audio. Image information including data is generated, and the generated image information is recorded in the image information storage unit 81 (step S124). After new image information is generated in step S124, the original image information is deleted. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has not elapsed since the imaging device 1 started reproduction display in step S121 (step S121: No), the imaging device 1 returns to step S121.

  After step S124, when the imaging apparatus 1 ends the slide show (step S125: Yes), the process returns to the main routine of FIG. 4 and proceeds to step S11. Here, the case where the imaging device 1 ends the slide show includes not only the case where the display of the images constituting the slide show is ended but also the case where an end instruction is input by the input unit 5. On the other hand, if the imaging device 1 does not end the slide show in step S125 (step S125: No), the display unit 4 switches the image to be reproduced and displayed (step S126), and returns to step S121.

  When there is no voice input via the voice input unit 51 in step S122 (step S122: No), and when the image information corresponding to the image being reproduced has voice data (step S123: Yes), the imaging device 1 proceeds to step S125.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an outline of processing of the display device 21. When receiving the trigger signal from the imaging device 1 (step S21: Yes), the display device 21 transmits a response signal to the imaging device 1 (step S22). When the display device 21 does not receive the trigger signal from the imaging device 1 (step S21: No), the display device 21 returns to step S21.

  When the display device 21 receives image information from the imaging device 1 within a predetermined time after transmitting the response signal (step S23: Yes), the display device 21 transmits an acquisition notification to the imaging device 1 (step S24).

  When audio data is included in the image information received by the display device 21 (step S25: Yes), the display unit 251 displays and outputs an image included in the image information, and the audio output unit 252 includes the image information. The included voice is output (step S26). On the other hand, when the audio information is not included in the image information received by the display device 21 (step S25: No), the display unit 251 displays and outputs an image included in the image information (step S27).

  Thereafter, when an end instruction is input through the input unit 23 (step S28: Yes), the display device 21 ends the series of processes. On the other hand, when the end instruction is not input by the input unit 23 (step S28: No), the display device 21 returns to step S23. In the second and subsequent steps S23, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the image information has been received within a predetermined time after transmitting the acquisition notification of the most recently received image information.

  Next, the case where the display device 21 has not received the image data within a predetermined time after transmitting the response signal in step S22 (step S23: No) will be described. In this case, when an end instruction is input by the input unit 23 (step S29: Yes), the display device 21 ends the series of processes. On the other hand, when the end instruction is not input by the input unit 23 (step S29: No), the display device 21 returns to step S21.

  In this way, the display device 21 displays the image information sequentially transmitted from the imaging device 1 on the display unit 251, and when the received image information includes audio data, the audio output unit 252. Also outputs audio.

  In the present embodiment, the voice input unit 51 does not accept voice input when the normal playback mode or the playback image transmission mode is set. This is because in the normal playback mode and playback image transmission mode, the user switches images, so a long comment may be inserted into one image, and the capacity of the storage unit 8 is consumed only by audio data. This is because there is a risk of doing so.

  According to the imaging apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, a slide show image transmission mode in which a communication unit automatically and continuously transmits a part or all of a plurality of pieces of image information to the display device 21 is set. In this state, the image information generating unit 101 transmits the audio data generated by the audio input unit 51 to the latest image information transmitted from the communication unit 9 to the display device 21, that is, the image information displayed on the display device 21. Since the image information including the audio data is generated by the association, the audio input such as the description of the image can be performed under a calm situation different from that immediately after the shooting. Therefore, it is possible to accurately add sound information to a captured image.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when audio data is included in the image information, audio is also reproduced when the image is reproduced and displayed, so that it is possible to view the image more easily. Further, even when an image is reproduced in the absence of a photographer, the viewer can obtain additional information of the image by sound.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the audio input unit does not generate audio data in the state where the reproduction image transmission mode is set, a long comment is not generated as audio data. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the capacity of the storage unit 8 of the imaging device 1 from being consumed unnecessarily by the audio data.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the display device 21 provided separately from the imaging device 1 is controlled to reproduce and display an image. Therefore, compared to the case where the image is reproduced on the display unit of the imaging device as in the past, It is possible to enjoy watching the reproduced images with a large number of people.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, when a voice is input in a situation where a large number of people are watching, the photographer can easily make an accurate comment by answering the questions from the viewer. Can also be input as audio data, so those who view the slide show at a later opportunity can view it with various information added to the image, so they can enjoy the slide show even more. it can.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention has been described in detail so far, but the present invention should not be limited only by the above-described embodiment. For example, the voice data generated by the voice input unit 51 may be converted into character information by voice recognition, and the converted character information may be displayed when an image is reproduced later. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which character information based on audio data input under the situation illustrated in FIG. 3 is output together with an image on the display unit 251 during later image reproduction. By converting the voice data into character information in this way, it is possible to easily organize and search images.

  Further, in the present invention, new audio data may be added even when the audio information is included in the image information, or the old audio data is erased by overwriting the new audio data. It may be. Furthermore, audio data to be left in the image information may be selected according to the data amount of old and new audio data.
