Uploading captured images to a server device on the Internet using the camera function is often performed on an image bulletin board or the like. Furthermore, the present inventor proposes to send a photograph taken, a photographing position, a photographing direction, an elevation angle, and the like to the server device by using the position measuring function of the mobile phone terminal and the function of detecting the tilt of the terminal. (Non-Patent Document 1).
When such a system is used, it is possible to easily display what kind of scenery can be seen from each point on the map by combining the map stored in the server device and the photograph. A method of displaying the map information and the captured image in an overlapping manner on a server on the Internet, such as Patent Document 1 by the present applicant, is common.

  On the other hand, on a mobile phone or a digital camera, information on the shooting position and shooting direction measured at the time of shooting is recorded together with the image as shooting data and can be referred to as numerical data. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to grasp intuitively if the values of latitude and longitude and the value of elevation angle remain as they are, and the measurement function cannot be fully utilized.

In addition, in the configuration in which an image is arranged and displayed on the above map, for example, there is a technology that displays a captured image, its position, and orientation in a sensuous and easy-to-understand manner by displaying a straight line indicating the direction of shooting, for example. Proposed.
However, in the conventional technology, only the orientation at the time of photographing can be confirmed later, and no technology for photographing while confirming the position and orientation at the time of photographing has been provided.

It is an example of a display of a screen concerning Example 2 of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings. The embodiment is not limited to the following.
Example 1
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an image photographing apparatus (1) according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the device (1) will be described as an example of mounting on a known mobile phone terminal. In the mobile phone terminal, as is well known, a CPU (10) that performs various processes operates in cooperation with a memory. Although not an essential component of the present embodiment, the device (1) can be connected to the Internet (20) and includes a communication adapter (11) for this purpose. The communication adapter (11) includes an antenna and a communication module for connecting to a mobile phone network. Actually, packets in the mobile phone network are transmitted / received to / from the Internet via an exchange, but the detailed configuration will be described. Is omitted.

  The device (1) includes a camera (12) including a CMOS sensor and an image processing circuit, a keyboard (13) such as a dial button, a posture sensor (14) for detecting the posture of the device (1), and a GPS satellite. A GPS antenna (15) for receiving radio waves from the monitor, a monitor (16) for displaying a subject to be photographed, displaying a photographed image, and an image storage unit (17) for storing the photographed image. Yes.

  In the CPU (10), a GPS processing unit (101) that processes a signal received by the GPS antenna (15), a posture sensor processing unit (102) that performs signal processing of the posture sensor (14), and a camera (12) An image processing unit (103) that processes the processed image data, an information acquisition control unit (104) that controls the operation of the GPS processing unit (101) and the attitude sensor processing unit (102), and a simultaneous display process according to the present invention. In addition to the display processing unit (105), a transmission unit (106) that transmits captured image data and the like to the Internet (20) may be provided.

This apparatus (1) performs the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 by said structure.
That is, when an application program that causes the CPU (10) to execute the present embodiment is started, the position measurement (S10) by the position information acquisition unit and the shooting direction by the direction information acquisition unit are controlled by the information acquisition control unit (104). Measurement (S11) is performed. These orders may be the shooting direction measurement (S11) first and the position measurement (S10) later, or may be simultaneous depending on hardware specifications.

In the position measurement (S10), the GPS processing unit (101) receives signals from a plurality of satellites with the GPS antenna (15), and calculates the current location by the signal processing. This process is known.
In the case of a mobile phone terminal, an accurate current location is calculated using other information such as base station information. The present invention can use any technique as position information acquisition means.

In the photographing direction measurement (S11), the posture sensor processing unit (102) acquires the information from the posture sensor (14). Here, the posture refers to angle information or deviation information at a predetermined position such as the inclination and orientation of the device (1), the step between both ends, and the elevation angle and direction at the time of shooting are measured from the posture information, Output as direction information of the present invention.
Any known sensor can be used as the attitude sensor (14).
Note that the direction can be acquired from the GPS processing unit (101), but here, it will be functionally classified and described as the posture sensor processing unit (102) and processing.

  The apparatus (1) includes a camera (12), an imaging processing unit (103), a monitor (16), and an image storage unit (17), which are known digital camera mechanisms. Here, the simultaneous display processing unit displays the captured image being captured by the camera means including the camera (12) and the imaging processing unit (103), or the captured image captured in the past and stored in the image storage unit (17). (105) is displayed from the monitor (16) which is a display means.

  In this embodiment, the photographed image is input from the camera means (S12), and the photographed information including the position information and the direction information is displayed so as to overlap the photographed image (S13). FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the screen display of the apparatus (1) at this time. The device (1) shown in the figure is a commercially available mobile phone terminal, which has a large-screen touch panel type liquid crystal screen and is a monitor (16), and also acts as a keyboard (13). Therefore, the camera icon (160) is displayed on the screen and the shutter is released by touching this part.

An image area (161) above the camera icon (160) is an image being photographed by the camera (12) provided on the back surface, and the composition can be freely determined by moving the device (1). .
A shooting information display area (162) is provided in an upper part of the image area (161) so as to transmit the shot image, so that the photographer can visually recognize the shooting information while looking at the shot image.

  In the photographing information display area, the azimuth (162a), the latitude / longitude (162b), and the elevation angle (162c) are displayed in order from the right. In particular, the present invention is characterized in that an analog needle type display is performed for displaying the azimuth and the elevation angle.

Conventionally, there has been known a device that can acquire information on the direction and elevation angle at the time of shooting, but it is difficult to check these during shooting, and a suitable method for displaying these shooting information at the time of shooting is proposed. Was not.
However, in recent years, with the spread of the Internet, opportunities for showing images taken by people to have increased dramatically, and it has become possible to easily refer to photos taken with a digital camera. In that case, there are many cases in which it is easy to compare by photographing in the same direction from the same position as a photograph taken in the past, or in a desired direction different from other photographs.

In response to such demands, even if information is displayed numerically after shooting as in the past, when deciding on the composition of the camera, it is necessary to look at the subject and shoot in consideration of the surrounding situation Therefore, the shooting information cannot be understood instantly.
On the other hand, in the present invention, for example, the compass-like image is displayed with the azimuth (162a) facing north, and the azimuth (162a) is displayed intuitively and easily by the red pointer. Further, the elevation angle (162c) is displayed by the blue pointer indicating the angle from the horizontal direction so that, for example, accurate horizontal shooting, vertical upward, vertical downward, etc. can be easily performed. In particular, the method of displaying an elevation angle or the like with the analog needle type according to the present invention is suitable for a person who is not good at photographing or when taking continuous panoramic photographs.
In the present invention, it is proposed to display the shooting information at the same time as the shot image, and to make an analog needle type part of the display. As the shooting information, information other than the azimuth and the elevation angle, for example, arbitrary information such as the tilt and deviation information of the apparatus can be displayed.

The latitude / longitude (162b) is displayed as a numerical value, and can be used as a clue when shooting at the same position as the position where the previous shooting was taken or the position taken by another person.
It is also possible to define the latitude and longitude of the designated shooting position in advance with this device (1) and indicate the direction of the designated shooting position with an analog needle type from the difference from the position being measured. When the designated photographing position (difference is 0) is displayed. This method makes it easy for the photographer to stand at exactly the same latitude and longitude.

  In the above description, the photographing information display area (162) is displayed so as to be transparent and overlapped with the photographed image. However, in the present invention, the photographing information display area (162) may be arranged in the vicinity. Further, the arrangement position does not have to be on the image area (161), and the position may be freely changed either up, down, left, or right. Furthermore, the orientation of the photographing information may be automatically changed according to the orientation of the main body of the apparatus (1).

It is desirable that the photographed image and the photographed information are constantly updated until the photographing, and it is possible to repeatedly execute the processes after the position measurement (S10) while simultaneously displaying both pieces of information (S13).
In addition, since more time is required for the position measurement (S10), a configuration in which measurement is performed once at a predetermined number of times while the photographing direction measurement (S11) is repeated, or a configuration in which measurement is performed at a predetermined time may be employed.

In the image photographing device (1), the photographer performs photographing (S14) by pressing a shutter such as a camera icon (160) while viewing the photographed image and photographing information of the monitor (16). When an image is captured, the imaging processing unit (103) performs image processing and compression processing as is known, and stores the image processing unit (17) in the image storage unit (17) (S15). The image storage unit (17) is realized as a memory mounted on the apparatus (1) or an external memory card mounted on the apparatus (1).
As is well known, a format called Exif (Exchangeable image file format) is widely used in the captured image of the digital camera, and the above-described shooting information can be recorded by this method also in the present embodiment. Alternatively, a corresponding data file may be used as a separate file from the image file.

  As another embodiment, after taking an image (S14), it is converted into an e-mail format by the action of the transmission unit (106) regardless of whether or not it is recorded in the image storage unit (17). It is also possible to transmit from the communication adapter (11) to an arbitrary server device or terminal device on the Internet (20) by a communication method using ftp (file transfer protocol).

(Example 2)
As a second embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus capable of displaying photographing information in an easy-to-understand manner when viewing a photographed photographed image is shown.
As shown in FIG. 4, the device (2) is obtained by adding some functions to the device (1) of the first embodiment, and the hardware is the same. It is preferable that the CPU (10) includes an image information read processing unit (110).

A flowchart of the processing in this configuration is shown in FIG.
That is, first, the photographed image data stored in the image storage unit (17) is read out by the image information reading processing unit (110) (S20). When shooting information is recorded in Exif as described above, shooting information can be extracted from the shot image data (S21) in the image information read processing unit (110).

Next, display (S22) processing by the simultaneous display processing unit (105) is performed.
At this time, when a single captured image is displayed, the same screen configuration as that in FIG. 3 can be used. In this embodiment, a configuration for displaying a list of a large number of images will be described. FIG. 6 is an example of a list display screen.

As shown in the figure, a photographic image area (163) for arranging photographic images and a photographic information area (164) for displaying photographic information corresponding to the right side of each photographic image are arranged on the left side of the monitor (16).
As shooting information, the title (164a), shooting date and time (164b), and latitude and longitude (164c) as position information are displayed as character information from above, and the azimuth (164d) and elevation angle (164e) as direction information below them. ) Is displayed with an analog needle type.

The display mode of each analog needle type is the same as that of Example 1, but by arranging each analog meter vertically at the time of list display, it is easy to compare information of azimuth and elevation angle, and intuitive grasp with images is possible There is an advantage to become.
In particular, when a plurality of captured images are arranged from the same position, it is easy to grasp the space even though the images are still images, such as images having the same azimuth and slightly different elevation angles and images having the same elevation angle and different azimuths.

  When the configuration of the present embodiment is implemented in an image capturing device (2) having a digital camera mechanism, it is easy to confirm in which direction shooting has been completed at the time of confirming a captured image. For example, when shooting in a plurality of directions from the same place, it is sensuously understood what direction and elevation angle should be taken next from the directions of the red and blue needles. That is, in the example of FIG. 6, after confirming that the positions are the same, there is a photograph in which the blue needle (elevation angle) is substantially in the same direction and the red needle (azimuth) is directed leftward, downward, and upward. Therefore, if you take the photo to the right, you can see that the completed photo is completed.

  When switching to the camera and shooting, it is not necessary to memorize the azimuth numerically, but it can be visually remembered that it is sufficient to shoot in the 2 o'clock direction of the clock. It can be greatly reduced. Especially when taking a plurality of photographs, it is very difficult to memorize numerically, and the display method by the analog needle type of the present invention has a special effect.

The configuration of this embodiment can also be applied to any apparatus that does not have a digital camera mechanism.
For example, as described in the first embodiment, when an image is transferred to a server device on the Internet (20), the configuration of the present invention is used as the Web service of the server device, and the above-mentioned information is displayed when browsing the image from each terminal. A display method can be provided.
In addition, it can also be used for a known image browsing apparatus such as a digital photo frame.

  Also in this embodiment, it is possible to arbitrarily change which value of the shooting information is displayed with an analog needle type, the arrangement of the shot image and shooting information, and the like.

(Example 3)
In the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the second embodiment, the arrangement at the time of list display can be rearranged according to the photographing information.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU (10) is provided with an array setting processing unit (111), and input from the keyboard (13) is enabled.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, button icons (165a) to (165f) for setting the arrangement are arranged on the photographed image area (163), and the icons can be rearranged by pressing these icons. it can.
Sorting by title (165a) and date (165b) is well known, but the present invention allows sorting by azimuth (165c), elevation (165d), latitude (165e), and longitude (165f). There are features.

First, by rearranging according to the direction information, it becomes easier to recognize the state of the subject that changes according to the direction. If the scenery is from the same point, you can arrange the photos like a panorama. Further, when one article or person is targeted, it is possible to confirm how the subject looks from each direction.
Conventionally, the arrangement based on the direction information has not been realized by a simple method even though it is performed manually, and the present invention can provide a new method for browsing a captured image.

The arrangement by position information is also the same, and it becomes easy to arrange for each same point by arrangement using latitude and longitude, or to compare scenery of the same latitude.
Furthermore, a combined arrangement may be made possible by pressing a plurality of icons. For example, if the longitude is selected in the state where the latitude is selected, it is possible to arrange the close longitudes within the same latitude, that is, close points.
Similarly, a meaningful arrangement can be realized by arranging the images of different latitudes in the same season according to the combination of date and latitude, or when the orientation is important like an astronomical photograph.

Example 4
In the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the second or third embodiment, it is also possible to search for an image according to shooting information.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU (10) includes a search processing unit (112) and enables input from the keyboard (13).

  Since the configuration for performing the search process in the computer is well known, the description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, by setting items to be searched by the keyboard (13), the corresponding photographed image is extracted and the result is monitored. They are arranged in the upper photographed image area (163).

For example, “34 degrees to 36 degrees north latitude, 138 degrees to 140 degrees east longitude” is set with the keyboard (13) of the touch panel, and the photographed image around the Kanto region is extracted by searching with the search processing section (112). be able to.
Similarly, by setting the elevation angle “around 90 degrees” and searching, it is possible to extract only the captured image looking up.
Such a retrieval method for photographed images has not been provided in the past, and the devices (1) and (2) of the present invention that enable photographing and display including photographing information are particularly provided with these retrieval methods. It is valid.

The present invention has the above-described configuration, but can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the scope described in the claims.
The following can be considered as applications to which the present invention is applied.
First, it can be used for a citizen participation type collection system for urban environmental information. Photographs dangerous spots (such as signs that are likely to collapse or fall on roads) that citizens have found in their areas of residence, and sends them to the same system managed by the government with the location and direction of photography. In administration, by displaying a list of photographs sent from citizens along with shooting positions and directions, it is possible to intuitively grasp the situation at the site and contribute to the determination of the priority of measures.
In addition, in such an information collection system, the reliability of information is a problem, but it is possible to collect highly reliable information by using information automatically provided by a photograph and a camera.

  Secondly, in a city guidance system, a large number of photographs including information on shooting positions and directions are stored in a shared server, so that if a user accesses this, a large amount of information about each point is collected and used as a guide. Can be easily obtained.

  Thirdly, as a photography instruction system, the photographing position and direction can be displayed together with the photograph, so that it is possible to imitate the excellent camera angle of a photograph by a professional photographer or a teacher in a photography classroom. It becomes like this.
