  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is an embodiment when the present invention is applied to an electronic photo stand to which a frame can be attached.

  First, a frame (display device frame) that can be attached to an electronic photo stand (an example of a display device) main body (housing) according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the front side appearance of a plurality of types of frames that can be attached to the electronic photo stand main body. In the example shown in FIG. 1, four types of frames A to D are shown. The frame A has one rectangular display window, the frame B has one elliptical display window, and the frame C has a rectangular shape. The window D is provided with two rectangular display windows and one elliptical display window. These display windows are opening portions of a frame in which the display screen of the electronic photo stand can be visually recognized, and an area on the display screen visible from the opening portion is referred to as a frame display region. In the example of FIG. 1, a horizontally long electronic photo stand is shown, but there is also a vertically long electronic photo stand.

  Further, on the back side of each frame, there is a frame type presentation switch (an example of an identification unit) TSW for causing the electronic photo stand to identify the frame type (in this example, types A to D) corresponding to the type of the frame. Is provided. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the broken double circle 51 indicates that the frame type presentation switch TSW is on, and the broken circle 52 indicates that the frame type presentation switch TSW is off. The difference between ON and OFF of the frame type presentation switch TSW is, for example, whether or not it is protruding or whether or not it is a conductor.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, five frame type presentation switches TSW are provided in one frame. Since each frame type presentation switch TSW corresponds to 1 bit, frame identification information (information for identifying a frame) corresponding to a maximum of 32 types of frame types can be represented by combinations of ON / OFF of the frame type presentation switch TSW. . For example, since all the frame type presentation switches TSW are off for the frame A, the frame identification information is “0”, and only the rightmost frame type presentation switch TSW is on for the frame B, so the frame identification information is “1”. In the frame C, only the second frame type presentation switch TSW from the right end is ON, so the frame identification information is “2”, and the frame D has the second frame type presentation switch TSW from the right end and the right end, so that the frame identification The information is “3”.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the frame is attached to the electronic photo stand main body. As shown in FIG. 2B, the electronic photo stand main body is provided with, for example, five frame type identification switches ISW, and each frame type identification switch ISW is opposed to each frame type presentation switch TSW. It is linked to the on / off status. For example, the frame type identification switch ISW is pressed and turned on by the protrusion when the frame type presentation switch TSW is on, and is not pressed and turned off when the frame type presentation switch TSW is off. Alternatively, the frame type identification switch ISW is turned on when the frame type presentation switch TSW is on, and is turned on while the contact between the contacts is turned off when the frame type presentation switch TSW is off. Each frame type identification switch ISW outputs an on / off signal corresponding to on / off to the control unit 15 described later.

  In addition to the frame type identification switch ISW, the electronic photo stand main body is provided with a frame attachment recognition switch for outputting an ON signal indicating that the frame is attached to the control unit 15 in addition to the frame type identification switch ISW.

  The electronic photo stand identifies the frame (frame type) based on the on / off state of the frame type identification switch ISW, that is, the frame identification information described above, and displays an image corresponding to the identified frame on the display screen D. become. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the electronic photo stand displays the display position and display size of the image on the display screen D shown in FIG. 2B in an elliptical display area as shown in FIG. The display screen D is adjusted so as to correspond.

  Next, the configuration and function of the electronic photo stand according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration example of the electronic photo stand according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic photo stand S includes a frame type identification switch ISW, a display 11, an operation unit 12, a storage unit 13, a control unit 15, and the like.

The programs include a display program of the present invention, a still image display program that defines still image display, and a slide show display program that defines a slide show that displays a plurality of images while switching at a predetermined switching interval. Further, the program includes an effect program that defines an effect for giving a visual effect to the image. Examples of the effect include wipe, zoom, checker wipe, blind, slide-in, dissolve, box, zoom-in, zoom-out, and 3D effect. The contents of these effects are well known and will not be described in detail.

  The storage unit 13 stores a plurality of image data (for example, stored as image files in a format such as TIFF, GIF, or JPEG) related to an image (for example, a photographic image) displayed on the display screen D. .

  Further, in the storage unit 13 (an example of a display condition information storage unit), frame identification information for identifying a frame for the electronic photo stand S and display condition information for defining the display condition of the image are associated and registered. A condition regulation table is stored.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of information registered in the display condition definition table. In the example shown in FIG. 4, frame identification information and display condition information are associated with each frame type, and the contents of the display condition information are different for each frame type. The display condition information is used for image display control by the control unit 15. The display condition information can be arbitrarily set by the user through an operation button on the operation unit 12.

  Here, the information registered in the display condition definition table will be described.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the “adaptation condition” indicates an image condition that fits the frame, and an image that satisfies the adaptation condition is selected as a display control target. Examples of the matching condition include a specific object such as landscape, portrait, date, person, landscape, golf club, and the like (an example of matching condition information). Note that when there is no matching condition, the image to be selected is not limited.

  When the matching condition is defined as landscape, a landscape image is selected. For example, since the display window of the frame A is horizontally long as shown in FIG. 1, the conforming condition corresponding to the frame A is horizontally long. In the case of a vertically long electronic photo stand, the conforming condition is defined as vertically long.

  Further, the date as the conforming condition is defined by, for example, a period (for example, January 2000 to December 2005), a day (for example, January 1, 2000), or a season (for example, summer). For example, when a period is specified, a photographic image taken during the period is selected. When the season is specified, a photographic image taken in the season (for example, June to August corresponding to the summer period) is selected. In addition, the photographing date of a photograph can usually be acquired from attribute information included in an image file of an image.

  When the matching condition is defined as a person, a photographic image including a human face in the image is selected. In addition, when the matching condition is defined as landscape, for example, a photographic image that does not include a human face in the image is selected. Further, when the matching condition is defined as a golf club, a photographic image including, for example, a golf club in the image is selected.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “Number of selected images” indicates the number of images to be selected as a display control target. For example, there are two display windows for the frame C as shown in FIG. The number of selected images is defined as “2”.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, “display position adjustment” indicates whether or not to adjust (align) the display position of the image so as to correspond to the display area of the frame on the display screen D. When the display position adjustment is defined as being present, coordinate information (an example of display area information) that specifies the display area (display position) of the frame on the display screen D is also defined. This coordinate information is represented, for example, by coordinates (x, y) of a reference point (for example, a center point or an arbitrary point) of the display area of the frame. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, when the feature is defined, the display position of the feature of the image is adjusted.

  In the case of a frame provided with a plurality of display windows, coordinate information specifying each display region (display position) divided into a plurality of the frames is defined.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “display size adjustment” indicates whether or not to adjust the display size of the image (size adjustment by enlargement or reduction) so as to correspond to the display area of the frame on the display screen D. ing. When the display size adjustment is defined as being present, coordinate information (an example of display area information) that specifies the display area of the frame on the display screen D is also defined.

  For example, when the shape of the display window is a rectangle (rectangle), the coordinate information is represented by coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) of two vertices located on the diagonal line of the rectangle. When the shape of the display window is a circle, ellipse, triangle, polygon, or heart shape, the coordinate information is the coordinates of two vertices (x1, y1) located on the diagonal of the circumscribed rectangle of these shapes , (X2, y2). When the shape of the display window is a circle, the coordinate information may be represented by the center coordinates and radius of the circle. When the shape of the display window is an ellipse, the coordinate information may be represented by the center coordinates of the ellipse, the major axis, and the minor axis. Further, when the shape of the display window is a triangle, the coordinate information may be represented by three vertex coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) of the triangle. In addition, when the shape of the display window is a polygon or a heart shape, it is represented by a plurality of coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2),,,,, (xn, yn) constituting the contour of the shape Also good. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, when the feature is defined, the display size adjustment of the feature of the image is performed.

  In the case of a frame provided with a plurality of display windows, coordinate information specifying each display area divided into a plurality of the frames is defined.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “display angle adjustment” indicates whether or not to adjust the display angle of the image so as to correspond to the display area of the frame on the display screen D. When the display angle adjustment is defined as being present, angle information indicating the rotation angle of the image is simultaneously defined. For example, when the display window has a rectangular shape and is inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 45 degrees) about the horizontal axis, the angle information is represented by the predetermined angle.

  In the case of a frame provided with a plurality of display windows inclined at a predetermined angle, angle information corresponding to each display region divided into a plurality of the frames is defined.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “color tone adjustment” indicates whether or not the color tone of the image is adjusted. When color tone adjustment is defined as being present, color information is also defined at the same time. This color information includes, for example, information indicating an instruction to adjust the image to black and white or sepia, or information indicating an instruction to emphasize a specific color such as green, blue, or red.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “execution program” indicates a program to be executed in order to display an image on the display screen D, and “slide show display” is information for specifying a slide show display program. . When the execution program is defined as a slide show display, at the same time, switching interval information indicating an image switching interval is specified. Note that a default still image display program is designated for a frame type for which nothing is defined as an “execution program”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “effect” indicates whether or not to execute an effect for giving a visual effect to the image. When the effect is defined as being present, the effect information is also designated at the same time.

  This effect information includes information for specifying an effect program (for example, an effect name and unique identification information for each effect).

  Note that the method of defining the display condition information in the display condition defining table shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and various other methods of defining may be used.

  The control unit 15 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer, and the computer reads a predetermined program (including the display program of the present invention) from the storage unit 13 and executes it, whereby the frame identification information acquisition unit 151 (the frame in the present invention). An example of identification information acquisition means), a display condition specifying unit 152 (an example of display condition specifying means), an image feature extraction unit 153 (an example of image feature extraction means), and a display control unit 154 (an example of display control means) Function as.

  Specifically, the frame identification information acquisition unit 151 recognizes the attachment of the frame to the electronic photo stand S (main body) by an on signal from the frame attachment recognition switch, and provides frame identification information for identifying the frame. Obtained by an on / off signal from each frame type identification switch ISW.

  The display condition specifying unit 152 specifies the display condition information stored in association with the frame identification information acquired by the frame identification information acquiring unit 151 with reference to the display condition defining table.

  The image feature extraction unit 153 extracts, for example, a feature of the image related to the image data designated by the display control unit 154. For example, the image feature extraction unit 153 extracts, for example, an image of a person's face or landscape or a specific object as a feature using a known object recognition algorithm or edge extraction algorithm.

  The display control unit 154 performs image display control based on the display condition information specified by the display condition specifying unit 152. For example, the display control unit 154 selects an image that matches the frame corresponding to the frame identification information from the storage unit 13 as an image to be subjected to display control based on the matching condition information defined in the display condition information. Then, the display control unit 154 sets the display position, display size, and display angle of the image so that the selected image corresponds to the display area of the frame specified by the coordinate information defined in the display condition information. A display mode including at least one of them is adjusted. When a plurality of display windows are provided in the frame corresponding to the frame identification information defined in the display condition information, the display control unit 154 selects a plurality of images corresponding to the display areas of the frame. The display mode including at least one of the display position, the display size, and the display angle of the image is adjusted so that the image corresponds to the display area.

  Next, the operation of the electronic photo stand according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing display control processing in the control unit 15 of the electronic photo stand S.

  The process shown in FIG. 5 is started when the attachment of the frame to the electronic photo stand main body is recognized. When the processing is started, the control unit 15 acquires frame identification information for identifying the frame by an on / off signal from each frame type identification switch ISW (step S1).

  Next, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table to determine whether or not the frame type corresponding to the acquired frame identification information is the frame A (step S2), and the frame type is the frame A. (Step S2: YES), the process proceeds to step S3. If the frame type is not the frame A (step S3: NO), the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S3, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table, specifies display condition information associated with the frame identification information of the frame A, and acquires the specified display condition information from the display condition definition table. To do.

  Next, the control unit 15 selects an image satisfying the matching conditions (horizontal and date in the example of FIG. 4) stipulated in the acquired display condition information as the number of images selected (see FIG. In the example of 4, only 1) is selected (step S <b> 4), and image data related to the image is acquired from the storage unit 13. For example, when the date is specified by a period, an image (photograph image) taken within the period is selected. In addition, when there are a plurality of images satisfying the matching conditions, the number of images selected from these is selected at random, for example.

  Next, the control unit 15 displays the selected image on the display screen D of the display 11 in accordance with the still image display program (step S5).

  On the other hand, in step S6, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table to determine whether or not the frame type corresponding to the acquired frame identification information is the frame B, and the frame type is the frame B. (Step S6: YES), the process proceeds to step S7, and when the frame type is not the frame B (step S6: NO), the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S7, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table, specifies display condition information associated with the frame identification information of the frame B, and acquires the specified display condition information from the display condition definition table. To do.

  Next, the control unit 15 selects images satisfying the conformity conditions specified in the acquired display condition information by the number of image selections specified in the display condition information (step S8), and images related to the images Data is acquired from the storage unit 13. Here, in the example of FIG. 4, since landscape and person are defined as the matching conditions of the frame B, the control unit 15 identifies a landscape image and identifies a human face (feature portion) from the identified image. The extraction process is performed by the image feature extraction unit 153. Then, the control unit 15 selects an image in which a human face is included in the image, and acquires image data relating to the image from the storage unit 13. Here, when there are a plurality of images including a human face in the image, the control unit 15 selects, for example, the image selection number (1 in the example of FIG. 4) at random from among these images.

  Next, the control unit 15 selects the display area of the frame B specified by the coordinate information based on the coordinate information related to the display position adjustment and the display size adjustment specified in the acquired display condition information. The display position and display size of the image are adjusted so that the corresponding images correspond (step S9).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the display position and display size of the image are adjusted so that the image corresponds to the display area of the frame B. In the example of FIG. 6, the control unit 15 first calculates the distance d between the center points p1 and p2 of the two faces extracted from the image (an example of the reference point of the image feature) (FIG. 6 ( A)). Next, the control unit 15 calculates a distance D between two points p3 and p4 (an example of a reference point of the display area) on the display area of the frame B specified by the coordinate information (see FIG. 6A). ). Next, the control unit 15 enlarges or reduces the image to D / d (see FIG. 6B). That is, the display size of the image is adjusted so that the size of the display area of the frame B matches the size of the feature portion of the image. In the example of FIG. 6, since d <D, the image is enlarged, but when d> D, the image is reduced. The control unit 15 then adjusts the image so that the center points p1 and p2 of each face in the image whose display size is adjusted coincide with the two points p3 and p4 of the display area of the frame B specified by the coordinate information. Is adjusted (aligned) (see FIG. 6C).

  Next, the control unit 15 displays the image with the adjusted display position and display size on the display screen D of the display 11 in accordance with the still image display program (step S5).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the display size of the image is adjusted so that the image corresponds to the display area of the frame B, and is an example in which no display position adjustment is specified in the display condition information. is there. In the example of FIG. 7, the control unit 15 changes the size of the image from the size of (x0, y0), (xA, yB) to the size of the circumscribed rectangle (x1, y1), The display size of the image is adjusted so that the size of the display area of the frame B matches the size of the image by enlarging or reducing to (x2, y2). Note that the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) of the two vertices of the circumscribed rectangle are included in the coordinate information corresponding to the frame B. In the example of FIG. 7, since the size of the circumscribed rectangle of the display area of the frame B is smaller than the size of the image, the image is reduced.

  On the other hand, in step S10, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table to determine whether the frame type corresponding to the acquired frame identification information is the frame C, and the frame type is the frame C. If it is (step S10: YES), the process proceeds to step S11. If the frame type is not the frame C (step S10: NO), the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S11, the control unit 15 refers to the display condition definition table, specifies display condition information associated with the frame identification information of the frame C, and acquires the specified display condition information from the display condition definition table. To do.

  Next, the control unit 15 selects images satisfying the conformity conditions specified in the acquired display condition information by the number of image selections specified in the display condition information (step S12), and the image related to the image Data is acquired from the storage unit 13. Here, in the example of FIG. 4, since the number of image selections in the frame C is 2, two images are selected. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, an image for the display window 1 in the frame C and an image for the display window 2 are selected.
