It is.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a scene selection screen of a shooting scene displayed on the screen of the display unit 36. On the scene selection screen 51, “travel destination (location)”, “growth record”, “observation record”, “group photo”, and “cooking” are displayed as selectable examples of the shooting scene of the subject.

  The communication unit 31 has a wireless communication function, performs wireless communication with a base station of a mobile communication network such as a mobile phone, or wireless communication with an access point of a wireless LAN, and transmits / receives data via a communication line. Is possible. The upload function unit 12 of the control unit 10 uploads image data using the communication unit 31. The upload includes data transmission such as transmission to a server apparatus (information processing apparatus) that provides information or services including images, and mail transmission to a predetermined mail address.

  The upload destination holding unit 33 is realized by a predetermined area of a memory provided in the information terminal device 1 and holds address information of an upload destination of image data. As the address information of the upload destination, the URL of the server device on the network that stores the image data so as to be viewable via the communication line, or the destination information such as a mail address of a person is held in an address book or the like. Is used.

  The display unit 36 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display and a display control unit that controls a display operation, and displays various types of information related to the information terminal device on the display screen. In addition, the display unit 36 displays the shooting data, the above-described scene selection screen, and an upload notification screen such as an upload notification screen described later as a notification unit function. In addition, the display unit 36 displays a browser screen on which the browser function unit 11 of the control unit 10 can display and operate information provided from various communication services or sites. The voice input / output unit 38 includes a microphone and a speaker, and emits voice and enables a call.

  The operation unit 42 includes various buttons arranged on the front surface of the information terminal device 1 or a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit 36, and inputs operation instructions from the user. The scene selection button 25a described above may be provided as a button of the operation unit 42, or may be provided as an object for a touch operation in a predetermined area using a touch panel.

  A GPS (Global Positioning System) receiving unit 41 receives radio waves from a plurality of GPS satellites, and acquires current position information of the information terminal device 1, that is, GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude). The clock unit 45 is configured by an electronic circuit having a clocking function, and uses a radio clock or the like, acquires time information via a network, and clocks the correct current date and time.

  The time information storage unit 15 of the control unit 10 stores the shooting date / time information of the image data shot by the camera unit 21 using the time information timed by the clock unit 45. The position information storage unit 16 of the control unit 10 stores shooting position information of image data shot by the camera unit 21 using the current position information acquired by the GPS receiving unit 41. In the position information storage unit 16, a shooting start position is registered as shooting position information for each shot image data. In the time information storage unit 15, a shooting start date and time is registered as shooting date and time information for each shot image data.

  The upload condition generation unit 13 of the control unit 10 generates an upload condition (transmission condition) for image data captured by the camera unit 21. At this time, the upload condition generation unit 13 uploads using the shooting date / time information stored in the time information storage unit 15 and the shooting position information stored in the position information storage unit 16 based on the information of the scene determination table 17. Generate a condition.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of the information stored in the scene determination table 17. The scene determination table 17 is stored in the memory of the control unit 10. Here, “travel destination (location)”, “growth record”, “observation record”, “group photo”, and “cooking” are listed as shooting scenes of the subject.

  For example, when the shooting scene is a travel destination, it is assumed that latitude “35”, longitude “135” are recorded as the shooting start position, and “December 20, 2010” is recorded as the shooting start date and time. In this case, the created upload condition is “when the current position differs from the shooting start position”. The operations when the upload condition is satisfied are “display of shooting data at the same place” and “automatic upload”.

  For example, when the shooting scene is observation recording, the upload condition is “after shooting”, and the operation when the upload condition is satisfied is “immediate upload”.

  It is assumed that the image data shot in the shooting scene of “travel destination (location)” is uploaded to a location movement log, an action diary, a travel diary, and the like. In this case, it is only necessary to upload the image data every time the shooting location moves, and it is sufficient to upload one image data at the same location. Further, the image data may be uploaded by combining the movement of the shooting location and the passage of time.

  For image data taken in the “growth recording” shooting scene, it is sufficient to upload image data every time the date changes, and it is sufficient to upload several image data from the captured images of the day. In this case, it is preferable to upload at a fixed time within a day. On the other hand, it is preferable that image data taken in the “observation recording” shooting scene is uploaded immediately after shooting.

  It is preferable that image data shot in the “group photo” shooting scene is distributed to each of the shot people. Also, the image data taken in the “food” shooting scene is uploaded immediately when food is detected in the image data, or the image data is uploaded every time the shooting location is moved (when leaving the store). Is preferred.

  The timing determination unit 14 determines the upload timing when the upload condition generated by the upload condition generation unit 13 is satisfied. For example, when the shooting scene is a travel destination, the timing determination unit 14 performs an “automatic upload” operation when the upload condition “when the current position differs from the shooting start position” is satisfied. Are determined to be transmission timings at different times. When the shooting scene is an observation record, the timing determination unit 14 is “upload immediately” when the upload condition “after shooting” is satisfied. judge.

  The browser function unit 11, the upload function unit 12, the upload condition generation unit 13, and the timing determination unit 14 of the control unit 10 are executed by a computer that performs various types of information processing included in the control unit 10 by executing predetermined programs. The function is realized.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment. The information terminal device 1 has, for example, a foldable casing. A display unit 36 and an operation unit 42 are provided on the inner front surface of the housing. A camera unit 21 is attached to the upper part of the housing. The camera unit 21 is arranged so as to be rotatable from the front side to the back side of the housing, for example.

  Next, the operation of the information terminal device in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the photographing operation and upload operation in the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment. In the procedure of FIG. 5, processing of each procedure is performed mainly by executing a program in the control unit 10.

  The control unit 10 executes the shooting operation of the camera unit 21 in accordance with a shooting instruction from the user performed via the operation unit 42 (step S1). FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of image data captured by the camera unit 21. FIG. 6A shows image data taken at a place where a plurality of people gather. FIG. 6B shows image data in which a landscape is photographed at a travel destination or the like.

  Next, the photographic scene detection unit 25 detects the photographic scene, and the control unit 10 inputs the detection result of the photographic scene (step S2). In the information terminal device 1, it is assumed that a shooting scene is selected and set by manual setting or the like by a user operation prior to shooting performed by the camera unit 21. In the shooting scene setting, the control unit 10 displays the scene selection screen 51 on the display unit 36 (see FIG. 2). Then, the user uses the scene selection button 25a from the displayed scene selection screen 51 to select and set a shooting scene determined to be closest to the shooting situation from a plurality of shooting scenes provided in advance. To do. The shooting scene detection unit 25 acquires a shooting scene at the time of shooting and outputs shooting scene information to the control unit 10.

  For example, if the captured image data is as shown in FIG. 6A, the captured scene is considered to be a “group photo”. Further, when the photographed image data is as shown in FIG. 6B, the photographing scene is considered to be “travel destination (location)”.

  Next, the control unit 10 generates the upload condition shown in FIG. 3 by the upload condition generation unit 13 based on the detected shooting scene (step S3). As described above, in the generation of the upload condition, the shooting position (shooting start position) or the shooting date and time (shooting start date and time) is used. Further, the control unit 10 determines the transmission timing with reference to the generated upload condition (step S4). The determined transmission timing is stored in a memory in the control unit 10.

  As described above, the transmission timing is, for example, when the shooting scene is “travel destination (location)”, when shooting data at the same place is displayed when the current position and the shooting start position are different, Set to auto upload. In the case of “growth record”, when the date is changed, after one day of shooting data is displayed, it is set to upload automatically or by a selection instruction. Note that, as shooting data to be displayed before transmission, a thumbnail image or the like for displaying reduced image data of the shot image is used. Note that the image displayed as the shooting data may be the original image data instead of the thumbnail image. Further, when there are a plurality of pieces of shooting data, images that are switched in time series by a slide show display or the like may be used.

  In addition, when the shooting scene is “observation record”, it is set to immediately upload. In the case of a “group photo”, a plurality of persons as subjects are recognized from the photographed image, and are automatically transmitted to respective pre-registered mail addresses of the corresponding persons. In the case of “cooking”, after a certain period of time has elapsed from the photographing time, the photographing data for this certain period is displayed, and then uploading is performed automatically or by a selection instruction.

  Then, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the determined transmission timing has been reached by the timing determination unit 14. Here, the timing determination unit 14 determines whether to immediately upload the captured image data (imaging data) (step S5). Here, when “observation record” or “group photo” is detected as a shooting scene, processing for immediately uploading is started.

  When uploading immediately, the control unit 10 displays an upload notification screen on the display screen of the display unit 36 as a function of a notification unit that notifies the upload execution (step S6). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an upload notification screen displayed on the screen of the display unit 36. On the upload notification screen 52, a thumbnail image is displayed in addition to the message “I will upload the shooting data *****” now. The file name of the shooting data is described in “***” of the shooting data. At this time, as another example of the notification unit, notification by sound from a speaker of the voice input / output unit 38 may be performed. Thus, the upload notification screen 52 notifies the user that the shooting data is to be uploaded (transmitted).

  Thereafter, the control unit 10 instructs the browser function unit 11 to upload the specified shooting data to the URL of the server device registered in the upload destination holding unit 33 or the mail address of a person or the like. And the control part 10 uploads imaging | photography data via the communication part 31 by the upload function part 12 (step S7). After executing the upload, the control unit 10 ends this process.

  On the other hand, if the uploading is not immediately performed in step S5, the control unit 10 shifts to a standby state (step S8) and ends the process.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the photographing operation in the present embodiment. This photographing operation shows the photographing operation of the camera unit 21 in step S1 in FIG. 5 in detail.

  When a shooting instruction is given by the user, the control unit 10 acquires current position information from the GPS receiving unit 41, and records this in the position information storage unit 16 as a shooting start position (step S11). Subsequently, the control unit 10 acquires the current date and time information timed by the clock unit 45, and records this in the time information storage unit 15 as the imaging start date and time (step S12).

  Next, the control unit 10 instructs execution of shooting by the camera unit 21 and stores image data shot by the camera unit 21 in the shooting data holding unit 23 (step S13).

  Note that the image data stored in the shooting data holding unit 23 may be added with information of the shooting start position and shooting start date and time, and may be handled as part of the shooting data. Here, when the image data to be photographed is a still image, the photographing start position and the photographing start date and time are recorded for each photographing. On the other hand, in the case of a moving image, the shooting start position and the shooting start date and time are recorded only once at the start of shooting. Note that the shooting end position and the shooting end date and time may be recorded together in the moving image.

  Thereafter, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the photographing by the camera unit 21 is finished (step S14). If the photographing has not ended, the control unit 10 returns to the process of step S13. On the other hand, when shooting is finished, the control unit 10 returns to the original process.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the standby operation in the present embodiment. In the procedure of FIG. 9, processing of each procedure is performed mainly by executing a program in the control unit 10.

  First, the control unit 10 determines the transmission timing determined based on the upload condition for each shooting scene for untransmitted image data stored in the shooting data holding unit 23 (step S21).

  The control unit 10 determines whether there is image data to be uploaded that meets the upload condition and has reached the transmission timing (step S22). If there is image data to be uploaded, the control unit 10 causes the display unit 36 to display an upload notification screen 52 (see FIG. 7) (step S23).

  Next, the control unit 10 instructs the browser function unit 11 to upload the corresponding image data to the URL of the server device registered in the upload destination holding unit 33 or the mail address of a person or the like. And the control part 10 performs upload of imaging | photography data via the communication part 31 by the upload function part 12 (step S24). After executing the upload, the control unit 10 ends this process.

  On the other hand, if there is no image data to be uploaded in step S22, the control unit 10 ends this processing and continues the standby state.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the condition determination operation for each shooting scene in this embodiment. This condition determination operation shows the operation of the control unit 10 in step S21 in FIG. 9 in detail.

  First, the control unit 10 acquires current date and time information measured by the clock unit 45 (step S31). And the control part 10 confirms the presence or absence of the image data in which the acquired present date matched with transmission timing (step S32). As the transmission timing in this case, there is a timing in a situation where uploading is performed by changing the time after standby according to the shooting scene, such as when a predetermined time has elapsed or when the date has been changed. The shooting scene corresponding to the transmission timing by such a time change corresponds to the time change scene.

  If there is image data whose current date and time matches the transmission timing in step S32, the control unit 10 determines that there is shooting data whose shooting scene is a time-change scene, and specifies the image data as image data to be uploaded. (Step S36). Thereafter, the control unit 10 returns to the original process.

  On the other hand, when there is no image data in which the current date matches the transmission timing in step S32, the control unit 10 acquires current position information from the GPS receiving unit 41 (step S33). And the control part 10 confirms the presence or absence of the image data in which the acquired present position matched transmission timing (step S34). Examples of the transmission timing in this case include timing in a situation where uploading is performed by moving the location after waiting according to the shooting scene, such as when the shooting location is changed. The shooting scene corresponding to the transmission timing by such a place movement corresponds to the place movement scene.

  If there is image data whose current position matches the transmission timing in step S34, the control unit 10 determines that there is shooting data whose shooting scene is a location movement scene, and specifies the image data as image data to be uploaded. (Step S35). Thereafter, the control unit 10 returns to the original process.

  On the other hand, if there is no image data that matches the transmission timing in step S34, the control unit 10 returns to the original process.

  In addition, as upload conditions, you may use as a condition both current date information and current position information. In this case, it is determined whether or not there is image data in which both the current date and time and the current position match the transmission timing.

  As described above, the information terminal device according to the present embodiment determines the transmission timing at which the upload condition generated according to the shooting scene is satisfied, and transmits the image data at this transmission timing. Thus, image data captured at an appropriate timing can be transmitted without the user missing or forgetting the upload timing. Further, when uploading immediately after shooting, the upload can be performed without impairing real-time performance. Therefore, when an image is posted in a timely manner or a live broadcast is performed, the image can be posted in real time. Further, since image data can be transmitted by a simple operation at an appropriate timing according to the shooting scene, an operation necessary for upload can be simplified.

  In the above embodiment, the information on the current position and the current date and time is used to determine the transmission timing according to the upload condition. However, other information on the camera unit or shooting, for example, the remaining battery level of the apparatus may be used. . In this case, the transmission timing is determined according to the remaining battery level, and when the remaining battery level is low, uploading can be performed quickly.

  In the above embodiment, as a method for detecting a shooting scene, a scene selection screen is displayed on the display unit before shooting, and the shooting scene is selected by the user. However, other methods may be used. Another method includes analyzing image data photographed by the camera unit and detecting a photographing scene from the analysis result. In this case, for example, face detection processing is performed on the image data, and when the number of faces included in the photographed image is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the photographed scene is determined as a “group photo”. Alternatively, the face of a specific person may be detected to determine “growth record”. Also, for example, image processing is performed on the captured image data, and from the color distribution of the subject, when there are a lot of light blue, it is estimated to be “sky” and the shooting scene is determined as “travel destination”. If the skin color is large, it is possible to presume that the baby is a “baby” and determine the “growth record”.

  Further, as a method for detecting a shooting scene, the shooting scene may be determined from setting parameters of the camera unit at the time of shooting. For example, if the photographing lens is photographed with an infinite focal length, it is determined that the photographing scene is a “travel destination (location)” as a landscape photograph. Further, when the zoom state of the photographing lens is photographed on the telephoto side, it may be judged as “growth recording” by presuming that the photographing is an event. In the case of macro photography, it may be determined as “observation record” or “cooking”. Furthermore, it is possible to determine a shooting scene by using various information in combination.

  In the above embodiment, when the shooting scene is a “group photo”, the image data is transmitted to each registered person's mail address. However, when uploading to the server device, the upload destination is changed for each shooting scene. You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, the information on the shooting start position and the shooting start date / time is registered in the information terminal device in association with each shot image data. However, as described above, the information is added to the image data. Addition or embedding may be performed and registered as part of the shooting data.

  In the above embodiment, the configuration example applied to an electronic apparatus having a photographing function and a communication function such as a mobile phone or a smartphone equipped with a camera unit as an information terminal device has been described. However, the information terminal device is also applied to other devices. It is also possible. Further, the present invention can be applied to a device that does not have a photographing function in the apparatus main body. For example, the present invention can be applied to an information terminal device having a communication function via a network such as a personal computer. In this case, the embodiment can be similarly applied to a configuration in which image data captured via a communication interface, a recording medium, or the like is captured and uploaded.

  Further, the present invention is also applicable to a program itself that supplies a program that realizes the functions of the above-described embodiments to an information terminal device via a network or various storage media, and that is read and executed by a computer in the device.
