<Details of Card Type Recording Medium 302>
Here, with reference to FIG. 3, various data stored in the card type recording medium 302 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the card-type recording medium 302 stores a moving image file 51, a marker type table 52, a marker data file 54, a game data file 55, and a team table 53. The card-type recording medium 302 can store data other than the data shown in FIG. 3, but description of data not directly related to the present invention is omitted.

  The moving image file 51 is the above-described stream data, and is moving image data in which imaging data and audio data are multiplexed. The card type recording medium 302 stores a plurality of moving image files 51. A moving image including an event is recorded in the moving image file 51. One event may be recorded over a plurality of moving image files 51, or a plurality of events may be recorded in one moving image file 51.

  Here, the event means that the start and end are defined and there are participants. Participants in the event may be individuals (persons) or teams, groups, or pairs of a plurality of persons. The event is, for example, a sports game, a music live, a theater, or the like. In music live and theater performances, participants are singers and performers. In the present embodiment, a description will be given using a basketball game as an event.

  The marker type table 52 is a table in which a marker ID (identification information) and a marker corresponding to the marker ID are stored in association with each other. The marker means a sign indicating an arbitrary time of the moving image. For example, the marker is text or an image that is different from the moving image being played back, and is displayed on the moving image. The marker is input according to the operation of the operation unit 306 by the user, or is automatically input by the imaging device 1 according to a predetermined condition.

  An example of the marker type table 52 is shown in FIG. The marker type table 52 shown in FIG. 4 stores six types of marker IDs and markers. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 10 is a game start marker (start marker) for designating the start of the game. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 20 is a match end marker (end marker) for designating the end of the match. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 30 is a score marker (score marker) indicating that a score has been entered. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 40 is a check marker indicating the time to be confirmed. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 50 is a smile marker indicating that a smile is shown. The marker corresponding to the marker ID 60 is a good marker indicating good play. In addition, the kind of marker is not restricted to what was shown in FIG. The marker may be an image instead of text.

  The team table 53 (participant table) is a table in which a team ID and a team name of a team corresponding to the team ID are stored in association with each other. That is, the data stored in the team table 53 may be input in advance by the user, or may be read from another memory or server by the imaging apparatus 1.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the team table 53. The team table 53 shown in FIG. 5 stores three team data. In team data, a team name and a team ID are associated with each other. In addition, the team color and the player name of the team are also associated with the team ID. For example, the team ID “1” is associated with the team name “XXX Stars”, the team color “blue”, and the player names “Suzuki, Tanaka, etc.”. Note that the information included in the team data is not limited to that shown in FIG.

  The marker data file 54 is a file including one or more marker data. Here, the marker data includes at least a marker ID for designating the input marker and an input time indicating a time when the marker is input. The marker data file 54 is stored in the card type recording medium 302 in association with the moving image file 51. For example, the plurality of marker data files 54 are associated with the plurality of moving image files 51 on a one-to-one basis.

  An example of the marker data file 54 is shown in FIG. The marker data file 54 shown in FIG. 6 stores six marker data. In the marker data file 54 shown in FIG. 6, the input time is displayed in milliseconds (ms). For example, the marker data at the top has a marker ID of “10” and an input time of “8521 ms”. As shown in FIG. 4, the marker with the marker ID 10 is a match start marker. That is, the marker data at the top of the marker data file 54 means that a match start marker is input at time 8521 ms. The time at this time means an elapsed time (hereinafter referred to as media time) when the top time of the moving image file is set to 0.

  In addition, when the game start marker data of marker ID10 are input by the user, team ID of the team which fights is also input. The marker data at the top of the marker data file shown in FIG. 6 is game start marker data of a game in which a team with team ID 1 and a team with team ID 2 face each other.

  In addition, when the score marker of the marker ID 30 is input by the user, the team ID and score of the team that has scored are also input. The second marker data in the marker data file shown in FIG. 6 is marker data of a score marker indicating that the team with team ID 1 has scored two points. Similarly, the third marker data in the marker data file shown in FIG. 6 is score marker data indicating that the team with team ID 1 has scored three points.

  At this time, the score stored in the marker data file is not a total score but a score added by the score. In the above example, in the third marker data, not 2 + 3 = “5” but “3” added at that time is stored in the score item.

  As described above, when the score of the added marker data is stored in the marker data, when it is desired to correct the score of the previously input marker data, only the score to be corrected needs to be corrected. And the total score after correction | amendment is easily computable by summing again the score stored in each score marker data.

  On the other hand, if the total score at that time is stored in the marker data score item, even if the marker data score to be corrected is corrected, it is stored in each score marker data to calculate the corrected total score thereafter. The total score obtained cannot be used. For this reason, all of the score marker data input after the corrected marker data must be corrected. That is, if a total score is stored in the score item of the marker data, it takes time to correct the score.

  The game data file (event data file) 55 is a file including one or more game data. The game data is associated with a moving image file in which the game is recorded.

  An example of the game data file 55 is shown in FIG. The game data file 55 shown in FIG. 7 includes three game data. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the game data includes a game name, a game date and time, a team ID indicating a team participating in the game, and a file name of a moving image file. The file name of the moving image file is information for identifying the moving image file, and includes, for example, a 5-digit ID and an extension. By storing the file name of the moving image file, the imaging apparatus 1 can easily access the moving image file.

  For example, the top game data in the game data file shown in FIG. 7 includes the game name “Rookie Battle”, the game date and time “April 15, 2012, 10:00 to 13:30”, the team of the game team This is game data indicating ID “1, 2” and file name “00000.MTS”.

  At this time, information on the game such as the team name, the game date and time, and the score can be acquired by referring to the team table and the marker data file. However, the marker data file is stored for each moving image file. In addition, information regarding a plurality of matches is included in one marker data file, or information regarding one match is included in a plurality of marker data files. For this reason, it is troublesome for the user to manually search for information about the game.

  On the other hand, the imaging device 1 according to the present embodiment can create a table (match data file 55) in which information about matches is stored for each match by creating match data. That is, an index of matches stored in the card type recording medium 302 can be created. For example, the imaging device 1 displays an index listing the game names and game dates and times on the liquid crystal monitor 304 (the table shown in FIG. 7 may be displayed as it is). Thereby, the user can easily select a game to watch. Note that the data included in the game data is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, if a game scene is included in a part of the video file, that is, if the game starts or ends in the middle of the video file, the time from the beginning of the video file to the start or end of the game is used as the game data. May be included. Thereby, when the game which wants to watch from the game index is selected, the imaging device 1 can easily recognize the start position and the end position of the game included in the moving image file.

<Details of Central Controller 400>
Next, the internal configuration of the central control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The central control unit 400 includes a moving image file management unit 401, a marker data management unit 402, a team table management unit 403, a game data management unit 404, and a display image data generation unit 405.

  The moving image file management unit 401 executes processing such as recording, reproduction, copying, and deletion of a moving image file based on a user operation.

  The marker data management unit 402 executes copying or deleting of the marker data file associated with the moving image file in accordance with copying or deleting of the moving image file.

  The team table management unit 403 executes team table generation, editing, copying, deletion, and the like. Specifically, the team table management unit 403 generates or edits team data based on user input. The team table management unit 403 updates the team table based on team data transmitted from another device.

  The game data management unit 404 executes generation, editing, copying, and deletion of a game data file. The game data management unit 404 generates game data based on the contents such as game start marker data and score marker data.

  The display image data generation unit 405 generates display image data for displaying a moving image together with the interface image and the marker. That is, the display image data generation unit 405 superimposes interface image data and marker image data on the moving image file. The display image data generation unit 405 outputs the generated display image data to the liquid crystal monitor 304.

  The interface image data for displaying the interface image may be stored in the card type recording medium 302 in advance, for example, from a server (not shown) or any storage device (so-called USB memory) that can be attached to and detached from the imaging device 1. You may get it.

  The display image data generated by the display image data generation unit 405 is output from the input / output I / F 303 to the liquid crystal monitor 304. The liquid crystal monitor 304 displays a display image related to the supplied display image data. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 304. As shown in FIG. 9, the liquid crystal monitor 304 displays a display image obtained by synthesizing an interface image related to a moving image currently being captured. While confirming the moving image, the user uses the marker input interface image (marker icon) to appropriately input the marker while viewing the moving image or the actual game.

  In the display image shown in FIG. 9, an interface image for inputting a marker is superimposed on a captured image of a basketball game. As shown in the figure, the interface image includes, as marker icons, a game start marker icon 901 (GAME START), a good marker icon 902 (GOOD), a check marker icon 903 (CHECK), a free marker icon 904 (FREE), and a score marker. An icon 905 (GOAL) and a player change marker icon 906 (SUBST) are provided so that each marker can be input. The free marker means a marker that can be freely set by the user. Further, the interface image has a marker cancel icon 907 (UNDO), and the last input marker can be canceled. In addition, a score window 908 indicating a score updated in response to an operation of the score marker icon 905 is displayed on the moving image as one of the interface images on the upper part of the display screen.

  For example, when the user touches the game start marker icon 901, the time information (input time information) and the marker ID of the game start marker are associated with each other and stored in the card-type recording medium 302 as marker data. At this time, the user also selects a team playing a game from a team selection screen (not shown). The team data stored in the team table is input in advance by the user. Thereby, marker ID, time information, and a game team (team ID) are matched with game start marker data (refer to Drawing 6). The same applies to the good marker icon 902, the check marker icon 903, the free marker icon 904, and the player substitution marker icon 906.

  When the game start marker icon 901 is touched, the game start marker icon 901 changes to a game end marker icon 909 (GAME FINAL) (see FIG. 10). When the game is over, the user touches the game end marker icon and inputs the game end marker in the video. Thereby, the game end marker data in which the game end marker is associated with the input time are stored in the marker data file.

  Similarly, when a score is entered, the user touches the score marker icon 905. Then, the input time and the score marker are associated with each other and stored as score marker data in the marker data file. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, a score marker 910 is displayed on the moving image displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 304.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 12, an interface image is displayed in which the team that has scored and the score obtained can be selected. The interface image shown in FIG. 12 includes a one-point marker icon 911 to a five-point marker icon 915, team icons 916 and 917, a cancel icon 918 for canceling the operation, and a return icon 919 for returning to the previous screen. Have. When “Team A” displayed on the team icon 916 has scored, the user touches any one of the 1-point marker icon 911 to the 5-point marker icon 915 displayed on the left half of the screen. . On the other hand, when “Team B” displayed on the team icon 917 has scored, one of the 1-point marker icon 911 to the 5-point marker icon 915 displayed on the right half of the screen is touched. Thereby, the team ID of the team that has scored and the acquired score are associated with the score marker ID and stored in the marker data file as marker data. The arrangement and size of the interface image (marker icon) are not limited to those shown in FIGS. The number and type of marker icons may be appropriately customized by the user.

  A plurality of interface images may be prepared in order to input markers of different types and contents for the same sport. For example, a game interface image and a practice interface image may have different configurations. Furthermore, it is a matter of course that there may be an interface image for imaging a theater or a music concert, not limited to sports.

<Operation of Imaging Device 1>
Next, various operations of the imaging apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

<Mounting media>
First, the media mount processing operation will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the media mounting process. First, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not a default marker type table is stored in the card type recording medium 302 (step S101).

  When the marker type table is not stored in the card type recording medium 302 (step S101: No), the marker data management unit 402 creates a default marker type table (step S102). Specifically, information related to the default marker type table is written in advance in a program that is referred to when the marker data management unit 402 performs processing. Then, when creating the default marker type table, the marker data management unit 402 reads the above program and creates the default marker type table in the card type recording medium 302. On the other hand, when the marker type table is stored in the card-type recording medium 302 (step S101: Yes), the marker type table is not created and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the game data management unit 404 determines whether or not a game data file is stored in the card type recording medium 302 (step S103). When the game data file is not stored in the card type recording medium 302 (step S103: No), the game data management unit 404 analyzes all the marker data in the marker data file stored in the card type recording medium 302. Then, the game data management unit 404 creates a game data file based on the marker data (step S104).

  Specifically, the game data management unit 404 refers to the creation date and time of the moving image file and creates the game date and time in the game data. Moreover, the game data management part 404 refers to game start marker data among marker data files, and specifies a game team (team ID). Then, the game data management unit 404 creates a team ID in the game data. On the other hand, when the game data file is stored in the card-type recording medium 302 (step S103: Yes), the game data file is not created, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 analyzes the marker data file and determines whether or not it is necessary to input a match end marker (step S105). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 determines that (a) the match end marker has not been input since the last match start marker is input, (b) the clock of the imaging device 1 is not set, and finally (A), (b) among the conditions that the creation date and time of the moving image file in which the game start marker is input is unknown, or that the elapsed time from the time when the last game start marker is input has exceeded 12 hours When both conditions are satisfied, it is determined that a match end marker is necessary.

  When it is necessary to input a match end marker (step S105: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 displays the last recorded video file, that is, the end position of the video file with the latest creation date (end of the marker data file). The game end marker is input to (Step S106). If it is not necessary to input a match end marker (step S105: No), the media mounting process ends.

<Movie recording>
Next, the moving image recording processing operation will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the moving image recording process. First, when the user performs a recording operation using the operation unit 306, the imaging apparatus 1 starts a recording operation (step S201). The marker data management unit 402 analyzes the marker data file and determines whether or not it is necessary to input a match end marker (step S202).

  At this time, the marker data management unit 402 determines that it is necessary to input a match end marker when all the conditions (a) and (b) described in step S105 of FIG. 13 are satisfied. When it is necessary to input a match end marker (step S202: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 inputs a match end marker at the end position of the moving image file before starting recording (step S203). That is, the marker data management unit 402 inputs (adds) the game end marker at the end of the marker data file corresponding to the moving image file. If it is not necessary to input the match end marker (step S202: No), the match end marker is not input and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the imaging device 1 stores a clock at the start of recording (step S204). For example, the moving image file management unit 401 stores a clock at the start of recording in a memory such as the card type recording medium 302. The clock is an operation clock of the CPU of the central control unit 400. Then, the moving image file management unit 401 stores the imaging data in the card type recording medium 302. That is, the moving image file management unit 401 starts recording (step S205).

  Then, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the user has input a marker (step S206). When a marker is input, the marker data management unit 402 creates marker data according to the input marker (step S207). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 calculates the media time (the time from the start of moving image recording) from the difference between the clock at which the marker is input and the recording start clock stored in step S204. . Then, the marker data management unit 402 creates marker data by associating the time in the medium with the marker ID of the input marker (step S207).

  Next, the moving image file management unit 401 determines whether or not the user has performed a recording end operation using the operation unit 306 (step S208). When the recording end operation is performed (step S208: Yes), the moving image file management unit 401 stops the process of storing the imaging data in the card type recording medium 302 and ends the recording. Also, the moving image file management unit 401 stores the media time at the end of recording in the card-type recording medium 302 or the like. Further, the marker data management unit 402 stores the created marker data in the marker data file (step S209).

  Next, the moving image file management unit 401 determines whether moving image recording is newly started (step S210). Specifically, the moving image file management unit 401 determines whether or not new moving image recording has been started by dividing the moving image file by the 4 GB restriction. When new moving image recording is not started (step S210: No), the moving image recording operation is terminated. Note that the division of a moving image file by 4 GB means that imaging data is divided into a plurality of moving image files because the upper limit of the capacity that can be stored as one moving image file is 4 GB.

  On the other hand, when a new moving image recording is started (step S210: Yes), the moving image file management unit 401 converts the time in the medium at the end of the recording into a clock (CPU operation clock). The moving image file management unit 401 adds the converted clock to the clock at the start of recording stored in the card type recording medium 302 in step S204 (step S211). Thereby, even when recording of a new moving image file is started by dividing the moving image file due to the 4 GB limitation, the clock at the start of recording of the moving image file can be accurately grasped. Subsequent processing (steps S204 to S210) is the same as the above-described operation, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  If an undo process (a process for deleting the marker input immediately before) is performed after a new moving image recording is started and before a new marker is input, the marker data management unit 402 deletes the marker. A marker data file including the marker data to be read is read from the card type recording medium 302. Then, the marker data management unit 402 deletes the last marker data of the read marker data file and stores the marker data file in the card-type recording medium 302 again.

<Video playback>
Next, the moving image playback processing operation will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the moving image reproduction process. First, when the user performs a reproduction operation using the operation unit 306, the imaging apparatus 1 starts a moving image reproduction operation (step S301).

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 reads the marker data file associated with the moving image file to be reproduced from the card type recording medium 302 (step S302).

  Next, the moving image file management unit 401 determines whether or not reproduction of the moving image file has ended (step S303). When reproduction has not ended (step S303), the marker data management unit 402 updates the marker related information (step S304). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 acquires the time of the moving image file and updates the marker related information to be updated at the time.

  At this time, the marker related information includes, for example, “a marker type to be displayed as an icon”, “whether or not a marker can be input”, “whether or not a marker can be deleted”, “whether or not a game is in progress”, “ Is the information on the “matching team name”, “the current score of the game”, and the like. The marker data management unit 402 updates the marker related information, and if there is a marker to be displayed, changed, or deleted in the moving image being played back, the display of the moving image is updated (step S305).

  For example, if there is a marker to be displayed at the time of the moving image file by updating the marker related information, the display image data generation unit 405 displays the display image in which the image data of the marker to be displayed is superimposed on the moving image data being reproduced. Generate data. Then, the moving image file management unit 401 displays a marker on the moving image being reproduced, for example, as shown in FIG. When the score is changed by updating the marker related information, the display image data generation unit 405 generates display image data displaying the score after the change (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a score window). Display image data in which the display of is changed).

  Thereafter, the moving image file management unit 401 determines again whether or not the reproduction has ended (step S303). When the reproduction has not been finished yet (step S303: No), the marker data management unit 402 updates the marker related information again (step S304). That is, the marker-related information is updated (step S304) and the display is updated (step S305) periodically (for example, at a cycle of 500 ms) until the reproduction is finished.

  On the other hand, when the reproduction ends (step S303: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 determines whether the marker data file corresponding to the moving image file is updated (added, deleted, or changed) during the reproduction of the moving image file. Is determined (step S306). If the marker data file has not been updated (step S306: No), the moving image playback operation ends.

  On the other hand, when the marker data file is updated (step S306: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 stores the updated marker data file in the card type recording medium 302 in association with the reproduced moving image file (step S307). ).

  It should be noted that the start of playback of the moving image file includes a case where the next moving image file is played by switching the files in the divided moving image file. In addition, the end of reproduction of a moving image file includes termination of reproduction of a previous moving image file due to switching of files in the divided moving image file.

  The moving image file management unit 401 can also perform digest reproduction. Digest playback means that only the video around the input time of each marker data included in the marker data file associated with the video file among the video files to be digest-played is played. The moving image around the input time is, for example, a moving image for 3 seconds before and after the marker input time. Thereby, the user can appreciate the digest of the game. It should be noted that the user may appropriately set the marker to be digest playback target. For example, when the user wants to appreciate the digest of only the scoring scene, the user sets the marker to be digest reproduced as the score marker. Thereby, the moving image file management unit 401 reproduces only the moving image around the input time of the score marker.

<Video copy>
Next, the moving image copy processing operation will be described. The moving image copy means copying a moving image file stored in the built-in recording medium 209 of the imaging apparatus 1 to the card type recording medium 302. When there are a plurality of recording media that are recording destinations (copy destinations) of the copied moving image file, the user may be able to select the recording destination. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the moving image copy process. First, the user selects a moving image file to be copied using the operation unit 306 and performs a copy operation. Thereby, the moving image file management unit 401 copies the selected moving image file and transmits it to the copy destination (step S401).

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 analyzes a marker data file (hereinafter referred to as a copy target marker data file) associated with the copied moving image (step S402). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 searches for a match start marker and a match end marker in the copy target marker data file and the marker data files before and after the copy target marker data file.

  Next, the team table management unit 403 copies the team data included in the team table to the team table of the copy destination for the match team of the match start marker included in the copy target marker data file (step S403). At this time, the team table management unit 403 assigns a new ID to the copied team data in the copy destination team table.

  The marker data management unit 402 analyzes the existing marker data at the copy destination (step S404). And marker data management part 402 inputs a game end marker at the end of the last marker data file, when a game start marker exists and there is no game end marker (in the case of a game).

  The marker data management unit 402 copies the copy target marker data file (step S405). That is, the marker data management unit 402 creates a copy target marker data file at the copy destination.

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the game start marker data is included in the copied marker data file (marker data file copied to another memory inside the imaging device 1) (step S1). S406). If the match start marker data is to be copied (step S406: Yes), the team table management unit 403 changes the team ID included in the match start marker data to the team ID newly assigned at the copy destination in step S403. (Step S407).

  Thereafter, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the game end marker data corresponding to the game start marker data detected in step S406 is a copy target (step S408).

  When the match end marker data is not the copy target (step S408: No), the marker data management unit 402 inputs the match end marker at the end position of the copy target moving image file (the end of the copy target marker data file) ( Step S409). If the game end marker data is to be copied (step S408: Yes), the game end marker input process is not performed, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Finally, the game data management unit 404 creates game data based on the game information (team, score, etc.) included in the copied marker data file and adds it to the copy destination game data file (step S411). ).

  On the other hand, when the match start marker data is not a copy target (step S406: No), the marker data management unit 402 deletes the match related marker data (match end marker, score marker) from the copied marker data file ( Step S410).

  In addition, when one game is recorded over several moving image files and those moving image files are copied separately, it is also possible to copy the marker data file corresponding to each moving image file as it is. In this case, the game-related marker included in each marker data file is also copied. For this reason, based on the game related marker contained in each marker data file, multiple game data regarding the same game will be produced. For this reason, a plurality of pieces of game data of the same game played by the same team are stored in the game data file, and the index of the game is complicated and difficult to understand.

  On the other hand, according to the configuration of the imaging device 1, as described above, in step S410, the marker data management unit 402 does not copy the game related marker data when the game start marker data is not the copy target marker data. For this reason, the game data management unit 404 cannot acquire information regarding the game for the copied video file at the copy destination. That is, the game data corresponding to the copied video file cannot be generated. Therefore, even when a single game is recorded over a plurality of video files and the video files are copied separately, the game data is copied in association with the marker data file including the game start marker data. This is only when the recorded video file is copied. For this reason, one game data is created for one game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a plurality of game data for the same game from being created.

<Delete video>
Next, the moving image deletion processing operation will be described. Moving image deletion means deleting a moving image file stored in the card type recording medium 302. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the moving image deletion process. First, the user selects a moving image file to be deleted using the operation unit 306 and performs a deletion operation. Thereby, the imaging device 1 starts the deletion operation | movement of the selected moving image file (step S501).

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 analyzes a marker data file (hereinafter referred to as a deletion target marker data file) associated with the moving image file to be deleted (step S502). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 searches whether the deletion start marker data file includes game start marker data and game end marker data.

  When the game start marker data is included in the deletion target marker data file (step S503: Yes), the game data management unit 404 deletes the game data related to the deletion target game from the game data file (step S504).

  Next, the team table management unit 403 determines whether or not the team ID referred to by the deleted game data is referred to by other game data that is not deleted (step S505).

  When the team ID referred to by the deleted game data is not referred to by other game data that is not deleted (step S505: No), the team table management unit 403 displays the team data corresponding to the team ID that is not referenced. Is deleted from the team table (step S506). If the team ID referenced by the deleted game data is referenced by other game data that is not deleted (step S505: Yes), the team data is not deleted, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not there is a marker data file that is not a deletion target marker data file before the match end marker corresponding to the match start marker (step S507). When there is a marker data file that is not the deletion target marker data file (step S507: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 deletes the game related markers (match end marker and score marker) from the marker data file that is not the deletion target. (Step S508). If there is no marker data file that is not the marker data file to be deleted (step S507: No), the game related marker deletion process is not performed.

  Then, the marker data management unit 402 deletes the deletion target marker data file (step S511). Finally, the moving image file management unit 401 deletes the moving image file to be deleted (step S512).

  On the other hand, when the game start marker data is not included in the deletion target marker data file (step S503: No), the marker data management unit 402 determines whether the deletion target marker data file includes game end marker data. (Step S509).

  When game end marker data is included in the deletion target marker data file (step S509: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 determines the end position of the video file that is not the deletion target including the game (the marker data file corresponding to the video file). At the end, a match end marker is input (step S510). Then, the marker data management unit 402 deletes the deletion target marker data file (step S511). Finally, the moving image file management unit 401 deletes the moving image file to be deleted (step S512). In addition, when game end marker data is not included in the deletion target marker data file (step S509: No), the game end marker is not input.

  Note that moving images (copying a moving image file to a copy destination without leaving a moving image file at the copy source) can be realized by combining the above-described copy processing and deletion processing.

  When the marker data file is created when one game covers a plurality of video files, the marker data management unit 402 adds the total score (total score) in the previous marker data file to the top of the marker data file. May be stored. As a result, even if a part of a plurality of video files and marker data files in which one game is recorded is deleted, the other marker data files store the total points of each team so far. Yes. Thereby, the marker data management unit 402 can refer to the total score of each team at the time of creation of the marker data file.

  Furthermore, the marker data file also stores the added amount of the score with respect to the total score of the previous marker data file. In other words, the score addition is the total score obtained by each team in the marker data file.

  For example, it is assumed that the total score of Team A in the previous marker data file is 35 points, and the total score of Team B is 41 points. Then, it is assumed that team A has acquired 11 points and team B has acquired 15 points in the current marker data file. In this case, the current marker data file includes information (total points up to the previous marker data file) of the total points “A team is 35 points” and “B team is 41 points” in the previous marker data file, and “A team” Is “11 points are acquired” and “B team 15 points are acquired” (addition of points to the total points of the previous marker data file). As a result, when recalculating the total score after deleting a part of multiple video files that record a single game, the total score is calculated using only the added score and total score in each marker data file. it can. As a result, there is no need to calculate with reference to the sum of all the scores, and the burden of the arithmetic processing of the imaging apparatus 1 can be reduced.

<Video trimming>
Next, the moving image trimming processing operation will be described. The moving image trimming means deleting moving image data before and after a range specified by the user (for example, from the start to the end of the game) in the moving image file. Thereby, the moving image data before the game start marker and the moving image data after the game end marker are deleted, and a moving image file from the start to the end of the game is extracted. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the moving image trimming process. First, the user designates a moving image file to be trimmed and an extraction range using the operation unit 306. As a result, the imaging apparatus 1 starts a trimming operation for the designated moving image file extraction range (step S601). At this time, the moving image file management unit 401 extracts the moving image data in the specified range of the specified moving image file (where to store the trimmed moving image file. For example, other memory or the specified moving image file To the end).

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 analyzes the marker data associated with the extracted moving image data and the marker data before and after the marker data (step S602). Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 searches whether the marker data includes match start marker data or match end marker data.

  In addition, the marker data management unit 402 analyzes marker data (existing marker data) already stored in the extraction destination. Specifically, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the existing marker data of the extraction destination is in a game (step S603). More specifically, the marker data management unit 402 determines that the existing marker data file of the extraction destination includes game start marker data and does not include game end marker data.

  When the existing marker data file of the extraction destination is in a match (step S603: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 inputs a match end marker at the end of the existing marker data file (step S604). If the existing marker data file of the extraction destination is not in a game (step S603: No), the game end marker is not input and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 copies the extracted part of the marker data (step S605). Then, the marker data management unit 402 changes each time information of the copied marker data (step S606). More specifically, the marker data management unit 402 changes the relative time from the beginning of the moving image (in-media time) to the relative time from the extraction start time (the time counted when the extraction start time is 0). For the marker data.

  Then, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the game start marker data is included in the extracted part of the marker data (step S607). When the game start marker data is included in the extracted part of the marker data (step S607: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not the extracted part of the marker data includes the game end marker data. (Step S608).

  When game marker data is not included in the extracted part marker data (step S608: No), the marker data management unit 402 inputs a game end marker at the end of the extracted part marker data (step S609). ). In addition, when game end marker data is contained in the extracted marker data (step S609: Yes), the game end marker input process is not performed, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  Finally, the game data management unit 404 generates game data based on the game start marker data included in the extracted part of the marker data, and adds it to the game data file (step S610). That is, the trimmed game data is added to the game data file.

  On the other hand, when game start marker data is not included in the extracted marker data (step S607: No), the marker data management unit 402 displays match-related marker data (match end) included in the extracted portion of marker data. Marker data and score marker data) are deleted (step S611).

  As described above, according to the configuration of the imaging apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the card-type recording medium 302 divides the imaging data of one game (event) and stores it as a plurality of moving image files. For this reason, one game is recorded over a plurality of moving image files. The marker data management unit 402 stores the input marker data including the game start marker and the game end marker in the card-type recording medium 302 as a plurality of marker data files in association with the plurality of moving image files. Therefore, the start and end of a game recorded over a plurality of moving image files can be easily searched with reference to the game start marker and the game end marker, and the moving image file can be easily managed.

<Embodiment 2>
A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In the imaging device 2 according to the present embodiment, various markers can be input using the mobile terminal device 3 connected to the imaging device 2. Note that the configuration of the imaging apparatus 2 is the same as that of the imaging apparatus 1 described above, and thus description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  The configuration of the mobile terminal device 3 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 19 shows a block diagram of the mobile terminal device 3. The mobile terminal device 3 includes at least a display unit 31, an input unit 32, a control unit 33, a communication unit 34, and a memory 35.

  It is assumed that a marker input application has been downloaded to the mobile terminal device 3 in advance. The application includes a UI (User Interface) image and the like used for marker input. An example of a UI image displayed on the display unit 31 of the mobile terminal device 3 is shown in FIG. The mobile terminal device 3 includes a tele icon 931, a wide icon 932, a recording start / recording stop icon 933, a game start marker icon 934, a good marker icon 935, a check marker icon 936, a free marker icon 937, and a score marker icon as UI images. 938 and a player change marker icon 939.

  Next, marker input processing using the mobile terminal device 3 will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing marker input processing using the mobile terminal device 3. First, the mobile terminal device 3 connects to the imaging device 2 using the communication unit 34 (step S701). The connection between the imaging device 2 and the mobile terminal device 3 can use, for example, wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi Direct. Of course, the connection between the imaging device 2 and the mobile terminal device 3 may be wired communication.

  Next, the control unit 33 acquires specification data from the imaging device 2 (step S702). Then, the control unit 33 stores the acquired specification data in the memory 35. Here, the specification data is information regarding the specifications of the marker input application such as the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the default marker type table, the URI of the default team table, and the marker input interval, for example. Note that the marker input interval is the minimum time required from inputting a certain marker until the next marker can be input.

  The control unit 33 refers to the URI included in the specification data, and acquires a marker type table and a team table from the imaging device 2 (step S703). If the marker type is fixed, the marker type table may be included in the application downloaded by the mobile terminal device 3.

  Next, the control unit 33 acquires state data (step S704). Here, the state data is information indicating a state related to the interface image and the marker in the imaging apparatus 2. The status data includes, for example, “whether or not the game is in progress”, “team name”, “team color”, “score display”, “validity / invalidity of marker input button”, “validity / invalidity of game start marker input button” , “Valid / invalid of game end marker input button”, “valid / invalid of score marker input button”, “valid / invalid of UNDO button”, and the like. When acquiring the state data, the control unit 33 stores the state data in the memory 35.

  And the control part 33 updates the display part 31 and the input part 32 based on the acquired state data (step S705). For example, the score on the display screen is updated, or the score button of the input unit 32 is changed from valid to invalid. That is, the UI image of the mobile terminal device 3 is updated.

  When the update is completed, the control unit 33 determines whether or not the imaging device 2 and the mobile terminal device 3 are still connected (step S706). When the connection between the imaging device 2 and the mobile terminal device 3 has already been completed (step S706: No), the mobile terminal device 3 ends the marker input operation.

  On the other hand, when the connection between the imaging device 2 and the mobile terminal device 3 is continued (step S706: Yes), the control unit 33 allows the user to input a marker using the input unit 32 (UI image shown in FIG. 20). It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step S707).

  When the marker input operation is not performed (step S707: No), the control unit 33 acquires state data from the imaging device 2 again (step S704). That is, the control unit 33 updates the state data. If there is any change in the state data, the change of the state data is reflected on the mobile terminal device 3 in the UI image update (step S705). Note that the control unit 33 acquires (updates) the state data in step S704 at a frequency of about once every 5 seconds, for example.

  On the other hand, when a marker input operation is performed (step S707: Yes), the control unit 33 transmits marker input information indicating that a marker has been input to the imaging device 2 for the input marker (step S708). .

  When receiving the marker input information, the imaging device 2 inputs a marker corresponding to the marker input information. Then, the imaging device 2 updates the state data.

  The control unit 33 acquires the state data changed according to the transmission of the marker input information (step S704). And the control part 33 updates UI (step S705), and reflects the change of state data in the portable terminal device 3. FIG. The mobile terminal device 3 repeats the above operation until the connection with the imaging device 2 is completed.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the imaging device 2 according to the present embodiment, a marker can be input using the mobile terminal device 3. Therefore, the user can input a marker even at a location away from the imaging device 2. As a result, the position of the user is not constrained and convenience is improved.

<Embodiment 3>
A third embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the user operates the portable terminal device to operate the imaging device and input a marker. Note that the configuration of the imaging apparatus is the same as that of the above-described second embodiment, and thus description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  The configuration of the mobile terminal device 4 according to the present embodiment is the same as the block diagram of the mobile terminal device 3 shown in FIG. However, in the mobile terminal device 4 according to the present embodiment, the UI image is different from the mobile terminal device 3. Moreover, the portable terminal device 4 has a measuring unit (for example, a stopwatch function unit) for measuring time. The portable terminal device 4 is connected to the imaging device via a wireless communication line or a wired communication line.

  An example of a UI image displayed on the display unit 31 of the mobile terminal device 4 is shown in FIG. In addition to the tele icon 931, the wide icon 932, and the recording start / stop recording icon 933, the mobile terminal device 4 includes a measurement start marker icon 951, a measurement end marker icon 952, a lap marker icon 953, and a UI image. It has a reset icon 954. The display unit 31 displays a recording time 940, a split time 941, and a lap time 942.

  The UI of the mobile terminal device 4 according to the present embodiment is specialized in race sports (long-distance running, motor sports, etc.) that go around the course. Specifically, the UI of the mobile terminal device 4 has a stopwatch function, and can measure a split time indicating the time from the start and a lap time indicating the time of one round of the course.

  The recording time 940 indicates the time that has elapsed since the start of recording. That is, the recording time 940 is the time that has elapsed since the recording start / recording stop icon 933 was touched. In the example shown in FIG. 22, the recording time 940 indicates that 2 hours, 29 minutes, and 1 second have elapsed since the start of recording.

  The split time 941 indicates the time that has elapsed since the measurement start marker icon 951 was touched (after the race started). In the example shown in FIG. 22, the split time 941 indicates that one hour, two minutes, and 55 seconds 91 have elapsed since the start of the race.

  A lap time 942 indicates the time that has elapsed since the lap marker icon 953 was touched immediately before. That is, the lap time 942 is the time that has elapsed since the lap started, and means the time of one lap of the course. In the example shown in FIG. 22, the lap time 942 indicates that 10 minutes 0 seconds 43 have elapsed. In the case of the first round, the elapsed time from when the measurement start marker icon 951 is touched is the lap time 942. That is, in the first round, the split time 941 and the lap time 942 are the same time.

  The measurement start marker icon 951 is an icon for starting the measurement of the race. When measurement start marker icon 951 is touched, measurement of split time 941 and lap time 942 is started. The measurement start marker icon 951 corresponds to the game start marker icon in the first and second embodiments described above. When the measurement start marker icon 951 is touched, the communication unit 34 (transmission unit) of the mobile terminal device 4 transmits a marker input instruction indicating that the marker is input to the imaging device. When receiving the marker input instruction, the wireless module 309 (reception unit) of the imaging apparatus inputs a marker corresponding to the marker input instruction. That is, the imaging apparatus creates marker data by associating the time in the medium (time from the start of moving image recording) to which the measurement start marker (start marker) is input with the marker ID of the measurement start marker.

  The measurement end marker icon 952 is an icon for ending the race measurement. When measurement end marker icon 952 is touched, measurement of split time 941 and lap time 942 ends.

  A lap marker icon 953 is an icon for measuring a lap time. When the lap marker icon 953 is touched, the lap time 942 being measured is stopped, and the time taken by the player or the like for one lap is displayed in the lap time 942. When the lap marker icon 953 is touched, the lap time 942 being measured is stopped and the measurement of the next lap time is started. When the lap time icon 953 is touched, the split time 941 being measured is displayed. That is, when the lap marker icon 953 is touched, the split time (time from the start at each lap) and the lap time (time from the previous lap at each lap) are displayed. At this time, the split time 941 and the lap time 942 may display the time during the measurement of the current lap after a certain time after displaying the measured time. Alternatively, the mobile terminal device 4 may display the history of past split times 941 and lap times 942 as a list in an arbitrary area of the display unit 31 without stopping the display of the measured time.

  When the measurement end marker icon 952 or the lap marker icon 953 is touched, a marker is input in the same manner as the measurement start marker icon 951 described above. Specifically, the mobile terminal device 4 transmits the measurement end marker or the lap marker input instruction and the split time and lap time at that time to the imaging device. Then, the imaging device associates the measurement end marker or lap marker (marker ID), the split time, the lap time, and the time in the medium where the marker is input (the time from the start of moving image recording). Create data. The measurement end marker is a marker indicating that the player has passed the goal point. The lap marker is a marker indicating that the athlete has passed a predetermined point (goal (start) position in the case of a round race).

  The reset icon 954 is an icon for resetting the display of the split time 941 and the lap time 942.

  Next, operations of the imaging device and the mobile terminal device 4 according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the marker input operation will be described. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing the input timing of the markers in time series. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a marker data file of markers input at the timing shown in FIG. The marker data file is stored in, for example, the card-type recording medium 302 (storage unit) as in the above-described embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 23, first, the user touches the recording start / recording stop icon 933 of the mobile terminal device 4 to instruct the imaging device to start recording. Thereby, the imaging apparatus starts recording (time t0).

  Next, when preparation for the race is completed, the user touches the measurement start marker icon 951 of the mobile terminal device 4 at the start of the race (time t1). Thereby, measurement of the split time 941 and the lap time 942 is started. Further, when the measurement start marker icon 951 is touched, the mobile terminal device 4 transmits an input instruction for the measurement start marker to the imaging device. Then, the imaging device associates the measurement start marker with the input time t1, creates marker data, and stores it in the marker data file. In FIG. 24, the measurement start marker corresponds to marker ID10. The marker input time may be the time inside the portable terminal device 4 when the marker icon is touched, or the time inside the imaging device when the imaging device receives a marker input instruction.

  Next, when the player goes around the course once, the user touches the lap marker icon 953 (time t2). Thereby, the first round time is displayed on the portable terminal device 4 as the split time 941 and the lap time 942. In addition, when the lap marker icon 953 is touched, the mobile terminal device 4 transmits a lap marker input instruction to the imaging device. Furthermore, the portable terminal device 4 transmits the measured split time and lap time to the imaging device together with an input instruction for the lap marker.

  The imaging device associates the lap marker, time t2, the split time, and the lap time, creates marker data, and stores it in the marker data file. In FIG. 24, the lap marker corresponds to the marker ID11.

  Thereafter, at times t3 and t4, as with time t2, the imaging apparatus creates marker data by associating the marker input time, the split time, the lap time, and the lap marker, and stores them in the marker data file.

  Then, when the player finishes going around the final lap of the race (when the goal is reached), the user touches the measurement end marker icon 952 (time t5). Thereby, the time from the start to the goal is displayed on the portable terminal device 4 as the split time 941. The time of the last lap is displayed on the mobile terminal device 4 as a lap time 942. Further, when the measurement end marker icon 952 is touched, the imaging apparatus is instructed to input the measurement end marker. Furthermore, the portable terminal device 4 transmits the measured split time and lap time to the imaging device together with an instruction to input the measurement end marker.

  The imaging apparatus associates the measurement end marker, time t5, split time, and lap time, creates marker data, and stores it in the marker data file. In FIG. 24, the measurement end marker corresponds to the marker ID 20.

  Thereafter, there is a break until time t6, and at time t6, the user touches the measurement start marker icon 951 of the mobile terminal device 4 at the start of the second race (time t6). Thereby, measurement of the split time 941 and the lap time 942 is started. Thereafter, the user operates the mobile terminal device 4 similarly to the above-described times t2 to t5, and the imaging device creates a marker data file in accordance with the operation. Through such processing, the marker data file of FIG. 24 is created.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, the reproduction operation of the imaging apparatus will be described. The imaging apparatus displays a list of the “LAP TIME” field in the marker data file shown in FIG. Then, the user uses the operation unit 306 to select a lap time to be reproduced.

  The imaging device reproduces the moving image based on the time when the lap marker or the measurement end marker associated with the selected lap time is input. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, when the lap time “0: 10'07” 42 ”of“ LAP TIME ”is selected, the moving image file management unit 401 (playback unit) displays the lap marker associated with the lap time. The moving image is played back not from the input time t4 but from the time point that is earlier than the lap time (Lt) from the time t4. That is, the moving image is reproduced from the time obtained by subtracting the lap time (607420 ms) from t4 (1908675 ms). Thereby, the moving image is reproduced from the beginning of the lap when the selected lap time is given.

  Similarly, the imaging apparatus displays a list of the “SPLIT TIME” field on the liquid crystal monitor 304 in the same screen as the “LAP TIME” field or a different screen. Then, the user selects a split time to be reproduced.

  The imaging device reproduces the moving image based on the time when the lap marker or the measurement end marker associated with the selected split time is input. For example, as shown in FIG. 26, the moving image file management unit 401 does not go back to time t5 when the measurement end marker associated with the selected split time is input, but points back from the time t5 by the split time (St). Play a video from That is, the moving image is reproduced from the time obtained by subtracting the split time (2410950 ms) from t5 (2513147 ms). Thereby, the moving image is reproduced from the beginning of the race where the selected split time is given.

  Although the time measurement has been performed from the start of the race, there may be a case in which there is no moving image at a position that is traced back by the split time when recording is started from the middle of the race. In such a case, the moving image file management unit 401 reproduces the moving image from the recording start position (the beginning of the moving image).

  As described above, according to the configuration of the imaging device according to the present embodiment, when the moving image file management unit 401 receives an instruction to reproduce a marker, the moving image file management unit 401 starts with the time information ( Play the movie from a position that is back by (lap time or split time). For this reason, if the time is selected, the moving image can be reproduced from the start position of the race where the time is given or the start position of the lap. Further, even when the marker is not input at the start of the race or at the start of the lap, the reproduction can be performed from an appropriate position that is traced back by the split time or the lap time.

<Embodiment 4>
A fourth embodiment according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 27 shows a block diagram of the imaging device 5 in this embodiment. In the imaging device 5 illustrated in FIG. 27, the compression / decompression processing unit 201 includes a first codec 2011 and a second codec 2012. That is, the compression / decompression processing unit 201 according to the present embodiment has a dual codec. The other configuration is the same as that of the imaging apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

  In addition, the imaging device 5 according to the present embodiment transmits the captured video to the live distribution system. Specifically, the imaging device 5 encodes a video for live distribution using the first codec 2011 and encodes a video for recording using the second codec. That is, the imaging device 5 performs video distribution while recording.

  The first codec 2011 is based on the MPEG2 standard, AVC / H. Based on a compression method compliant with the H.264 standard, the imaging data and digital audio data stored in the main memory 205 are compressed to generate compressed data. At this time, the first codec 2011 superimposes and encodes the image data of the marker input using the imaging device 5 or the mobile terminal device on the imaging data, thereby transmitting a transmission video (first moving image file). Generate. The first codec 2011 transmits the generated transmission video to the external live distribution system (external server) (not shown) via the wireless module 309. In addition, the kind of marker concerning this Embodiment is not specifically limited, It is a marker which shows the specific state of the event used as imaging object. For example, the markers (game start marker, game end marker, measurement start marker, measurement end marker, good marker, check marker, score marker, etc.) in the above-described embodiment can be used as markers.

  The second codec 2012 is similar to the first codec 2011 in that the MPEG2 standard, AVC / H. Based on a compression method compliant with the H.264 standard, the imaging data and digital audio data stored in the main memory 205 are compressed to generate compressed data. However, the second codec 2012 does not superimpose the marker image data input using the imaging device 5 or the mobile terminal device on the imaging data. That is, the second codec 2012 generates a moving image file (second moving image file) by encoding only the imaging data and the digital audio data. The marker data management unit 402 (control unit) creates marker data by associating the media time at the time of marker input with the marker ID of the input marker. Then, the marker data management unit 402 stores the created marker data in the card type recording medium 302 as a marker data file in association with the moving image file (second moving image file).

  In addition, the kind of marker concerning this Embodiment is not specifically limited, The specific condition of the event used as an imaging target (game start, game end, measurement start, measurement end, good play, confirmation required, This is a marker indicating the score). For example, the markers (game start marker, game end marker, measurement start marker, measurement end marker, good marker, check marker, score marker, etc.) in the above-described embodiment can be used as markers.

  Next, the operation of the imaging device 5 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. The flowchart shown in FIG. 28 shows the operation of the first codec 2011. The flowchart shown in FIG. 29 shows the operation of the second codec 2012.

  First, the operation of the first codec 2011 will be described. First, the imaging unit 100 performs an imaging process (step S801). Thereby, imaging data is generated.

  Next, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not a marker is input using the operation unit 306 or the mobile terminal device of the imaging device 5 (step S802). When the marker is input (step S802: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 transmits image data of the marker corresponding to the input marker to the first codec 2011. The marker image data is stored in advance in the flash ROM 204, for example.

  Then, the first codec 2011 generates compressed data by superimposing the marker image data on the imaging data (step S803). On the other hand, when no marker is input (step S804), the first codec 2011 generates compressed data using only the imaging data and the digital audio data (step S805). That is, the first codec 2011 performs a normal encoding process.

  Next, the first codec 2011 transmits the compressed data (first moving image file) to the live distribution system. Thereby, the video imaged by the imaging device 5 is distributed (step S805). At this time, when a marker is input, a video on which the marker image data is superimposed is distributed.

  Then, the central control unit 400 determines whether or not a shooting stop operation has been performed by the user (step S806). If there is a shooting stop operation (step S806: Yes), the imaging device 5 ends the shooting. On the other hand, when there is no photographing stop operation (step S806: No), the process returns to step S801 and the above operation is repeated.

  Next, the operation of the second codec 2012 will be described. First, the imaging unit 100 performs an imaging process (step S901). Thereby, imaging data is generated.

  Next, the second codec 2012 compresses only the imaging data and the digital audio data, and generates compressed data (second moving image file) (step S902). That is, the second codec 2012 performs a normal encoding process regardless of whether or not a marker is input. Then, the second codec 2012 stores the generated compressed data as a moving image file in the card type recording medium 302 (step S903).

  In addition, the marker data management unit 402 determines whether or not a marker is input using the operation unit 306 or the mobile terminal device of the imaging device 5 (step S904). When the marker is input (step S904: Yes), the marker data management unit 402 creates marker data by associating the marker input time with the marker ID, and the created marker data is compressed by the second codec 2012. In association with the moving image file, it is stored in the card-type recording medium 302 as a marker data file (step S905). On the other hand, if no marker is input (step S904: No), marker data is not created, and the process proceeds to step S906.

  Then, the central control unit 400 determines whether or not a shooting stop operation has been performed by the user (step S906). If there is a shooting stop operation (step S906: Yes), the imaging device 5 ends the shooting. On the other hand, when there is no photographing stop operation (step S906: No), the process returns to step S901 and the above operation is repeated.

  For convenience of explanation, the operation of the first codec 2011 and the operation of the second codec 2012 have been described using different flowcharts (FIGS. 28 and 29), but the flows shown in FIGS. 28 and 29 are parallel. Has been done. That is, the compression / decompression processing unit 201 performs parallel processing on the compression in the first codec 2011 and the compression in the second codec 2012.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the imaging device 5 according to the present embodiment, the first codec 2011 generates compressed data by superimposing the input marker image data on the imaging data. Then, the first codec 2011 transmits the video on which the marker image data is superimposed to the distribution system. On the other hand, the second codec 2012 generates compressed data using the imaging data without superimposing the marker image data, and stores the compressed data in the card-type recording medium 302. For this reason, even if the distribution system does not have a function of superimposing the marker image data, the video with the marker image data superimposed can be distributed. Furthermore, since the card-type recording medium 302 stores a normal video on which the marker image data is not superimposed, it is possible to view or edit the video on which the marker image data is not displayed. it can.

  In the above example, the video on which the marker image is superimposed is transmitted to the distribution system without being stored in the memory or the like, but the superimposed video is stored in, for example, the card-type recording medium 302. Also good. As a result, even after a playback device that does not have a function for superimposing an image, it is possible to reproduce the video after the image is superimposed.

  Further, the marker data management unit 402 may detect whether or not the marker data file stored in association with the moving image file generated by the second codec 2012 has been edited. When the marker data is edited, the marker data management unit 402 transmits the edited marker data to the first codec 2011. The first codec 2011 superimposes the edited marker image data on the moving image file (without marker superimposition) stored in the card type recording medium 302. Thereby, the imaging device 5 can generate | occur | produce the image | video which superimposed the image of the marker after editing.

  The present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiment, but is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and includes various modifications, corrections, and combinations that can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention. Of course.

  For example, it goes without saying that a part of the information stored in the card-type recording medium 302 may be stored in a storage device (for example, a USB memory) that is detachable from the imaging device 1. Further, the imaging device 1 may appropriately download information to be stored in the mecard type recording medium 302 from the network.
