A. First embodiment:
A1. System configuration:
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the photographing spot guidance system 10. The shooting spot guidance system 10 includes a smartphone 100 and a guidance server 200. The smartphone 100 can access the guidance server 200 connected to the Internet 80 via a communication carrier 70 including a transmission / reception antenna, a radio base station, and an exchange.

  The smartphone 100 includes a control unit 110, a wireless communication unit 120, a touch panel 122, a display unit 124, a GPS receiver 126, a time measuring unit 128, and a storage unit 130.

  The wireless communication unit 120 is a circuit for performing data communication and voice communication via the communication carrier 70.

  The display unit 124 is a device that displays various images such as a map image. The touch panel 122 is provided so as to be superimposed on the display unit 124, and accepts a touch operation from the user with a finger or a pen.

  The GPS receiver 126 measures the current position (longitude / latitude) of the smartphone 100 (user) based on radio waves received from artificial satellites constituting a GPS (Global Positioning System / Global Positioning System).

  The timer unit 128 is an integrated circuit (for example, a real-time clock circuit) that measures the current time. Note that the timer unit 128 may be realized in software by executing a program for the control unit 110 to be described later to measure the current time.

  The storage unit 130 is a storage device that stores data in a nonvolatile manner, and is configured by, for example, a flash memory.

  The control unit 110 includes a CPU and a memory, and controls the entire operation of the smartphone 100.

  Next, the guidance server 200 will be described. The guidance server 200 includes a main control unit 210, a communication unit 220, and a storage unit 230. The communication unit 220 can communicate with the smartphone 100 via the Internet 80.

  The storage unit 230 stores an image information database (DB) 240, an area database (DB) 250, and a map database (DB) 260.

  Image information database 240 stores image information. The image information is associated with a number (ID) for identifying an image, position information regarding the position (longitude / latitude) where the image was captured, and time information regarding the time (time) when the image was captured. Information. Note that the image information may include the image itself or may include a link to the image.

  The area database 250 stores an area composed of a plurality of position information. An area is a facility such as a theme park or a tourist area.

  The map database 260 stores map data for displaying a map on the display unit 124 of the smartphone 100 and road network data for performing a route search. The network data includes, for each type of moving means such as a car, a bicycle, a bus, a train, and a walk, data representing the connection state of roads that can be moved by each moving means by links and nodes.

  The main control unit 210 includes a CPU and a memory, and controls the entire operation of the guidance server 200. The main control unit 210 functions as a guidance time acquisition unit 211, a guidance area acquisition unit 212, a totalization unit 214, and a guidance unit 216 by a computer program recorded in a memory being executed by the CPU.

  The guidance time acquisition unit 211 acquires a guidance time, which is a time for guiding a shooting spot, from the smartphone 100 (user) in a shooting spot guidance process described later.

  The guidance area acquisition unit 212 acquires a guidance area, which is an area for guiding a shooting spot, from the smartphone 100 (user) in shooting spot guidance processing described later.

  The totaling unit 214 refers to the image information database 240 of the storage unit 230 and totals the number of images for each position based on the positional information of each image. When a position that is regarded as the same position (for example, a radius of 2 m, 5 m, etc. from a predetermined point) is set, the counting unit 214 counts the number of images having position information corresponding to the position for each position. Are counted. The totaling unit 214 can total the number of images taken in the guidance area acquired by the guidance area acquiring unit 212.

  The counting unit 214 can further count the number of images counted for each position for each period. In this embodiment, the time is set to “month”, and the counting unit 214 counts the number of captured images for each month (on a monthly basis). That is, the totaling unit 214 calculates the total number of images for each month. The range that is regarded as the same position and the unit of time for performing the aggregation are determined in advance by the administrator of the photographing spot guidance system 10 and stored in the storage unit 230.

  The guide unit 216 guides a position where the number of images counted by the counting unit 214 exceeds a predetermined threshold as a shooting spot. The guide unit 216 can guide a position where the number of aggregated images exceeds a predetermined threshold as a shooting spot at a time corresponding to the guide time acquired by the guide time acquisition unit 211. For example, when the guidance time is March, the guidance unit 216 guides a position where the number of images photographed in March exceeds a threshold value as a photographing spot. When the guidance time is not designated, the guidance unit 216 guides a position that exceeds the threshold throughout the year as a shooting spot. In addition, the guide unit 216 can guide shooting spots in the guide area acquired by the guide area acquisition unit 212. Furthermore, the guide unit 216 can preferentially guide shooting spots with a large number of images among shooting spots. Note that when the threshold value and the guidance time are not specified, the time when the guidance unit 216 performs guidance (one year in this embodiment) is determined in advance by the administrator of the photographing spot guidance system 10 and stored in the storage unit 230. ing.

  The guide unit 216 generates guide information indicating a shooting spot. For example, the guide unit 216 can extract map data including a shooting spot from the map database 260 and generate guide information in which the shooting spot is displayed on the map. In addition, the guide unit 216 can generate guide information that lists shooting spots. The guide unit 216 transmits the generated guide information to the smartphone 100 via the communication unit 220.

A2. Shooting spot guidance processing:
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the shooting spot guidance process executed by the shooting spot guidance system 10. In the present embodiment, the shooting spot guidance process is started by a user of the smartphone 100 specifying and executing a program stored in the ROM of the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100.

  When the shooting spot guidance process is started, the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100 displays an input screen W1 for inputting guidance conditions on the display unit 124, and receives input of guidance conditions via the touch panel 122 ( Step S100). The guide condition is a condition including a guide time, a guide area, and a display method of guide information.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the guidance condition input screen W1. The input screen W1 includes a guidance time input field C1, a guidance area input field C2, a display method selection field C3, a priority order display selection field C4, a cancel button B11, and a guidance start button B12. The guidance time input column C1 is a column for inputting a time when the user wishes to guide the shooting spot. The guidance area input field C2 is a field for inputting an area for which shooting spot guidance is desired. The display method selection column C3 is a column for selecting a shooting spot display method. At least one of (a) displaying on a map and (b) displaying in a list is selected as a method for displaying a shooting spot. The priority order display selection column C4 is a column for selecting whether or not to guide a position with a large number of images among the shooting spots. In FIG. 3, “March” is entered as the guidance time in the guidance time entry field C1, “XY Castle” is entered as the guidance area in the guidance area entry field C2, and is displayed in the display method selection field C3. A state in which “display on map” is selected as the method is shown.

  Returning to FIG. 2, when the guidance start button B12 is pressed in step S100, the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100 transmits the inputted guidance conditions to the guidance server 200 together with the shooting spot guidance request (step S110). When no input is made in the guidance area input field C2, the control unit 110 detects the current position of the smartphone 100 (user) by the GPS receiver 126 and sets the guidance area within a predetermined range from the current position. It transmits to the guidance server 200. The predetermined range can be arbitrarily determined by the administrator of the photographing spot guidance system 10 such as a range that can be moved within 30 minutes by a user's moving means (car, bicycle, walking, etc.).

  The main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 receives the shooting spot guidance request via the communication unit 220 and acquires the guidance conditions (step S200). The totaling unit 214 of the guidance server 200 refers to the image information database 240 of the storage unit 230 and totals the number of images for each position based on the guidance conditions (step S210).

  The guide unit 216 confirms whether or not there is a position where the number of images is equal to or greater than a threshold at a time corresponding to the guide time based on the counting result (step S220). When there is a position where the number of images is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S220: YES), the guide unit 216 determines the position as a shooting spot and guides it (step S230).

  FIG. 4 is an image diagram showing a state of aggregation by the aggregation unit 214. In the present embodiment, the totalization unit 214 extracts the position information included in the guidance area “XY Castle” from the area database 250, and the image information associated with the extracted position information is stored in the image information database of the storage unit 230. Extraction is performed with reference to 240. The totaling unit 214 totals the number of images for each position and for each month from the extracted image information. In FIG. 4, the totalization result at the position S1 is shown using a graph. As shown in the graph of FIG. 4, at the position S1, the number of images in March, which is the guidance time, exceeds the threshold value (FIG. 2, step S220: YES). Therefore, the guide unit 216 guides the position S1 as a shooting spot (FIG. 2, step S230). Since the number of images in the position S1 exceeds the threshold throughout the year, the guide unit 216 guides the position S1 as a shooting spot even when the guidance time is not specified.

  FIG. 5 is an image diagram showing a state of aggregation by the aggregation unit 214 at different positions. At the position S2, the number of images counted in each month from January to May and from October to December exceeds the threshold value. Therefore, since the number of captured images exceeds the threshold in March, which is the guide time, the guide unit 216 guides the position S2 as a shooting spot. On the other hand, the number of images counted in each month from June to September does not exceed the threshold. Therefore, when the guidance time is, for example, August, the guide unit 216 does not guide the position S2 as a shooting spot. In addition, since the total result of the position S2 does not exceed the threshold throughout the year, the guide unit 216 does not guide the position S2 as a shooting spot even when the guidance time is not specified.

  Returning to FIG. 2, next, the guide unit 216 generates guide information based on the display method selected in step S <b> 100 and acquired in step S <b> 200, and transmits the generated guide information to the smartphone 100 via the communication unit 220. Transmit (step S240). Specifically, when displaying on the map is selected as the display method, the guidance unit 216 displays guidance information including map data including the determined shooting spot and data indicating the shooting spot. It transmits to the smart phone 100. When listing and displaying are selected, the guide unit 216 transmits data for listing the shooting spots determined in step S220 to the smartphone 100.

  In step S220, when there is no position where the number of images is equal to or greater than the threshold value (step S220: NO), the guide unit 216 transmits the information as guidance information to the smartphone 100 via the communication unit 220 ( Step S240).

  When receiving the guidance information via the wireless communication unit 120 (step S130), the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100 displays the received guidance information on the display unit 124 (step S140). As described above, the shooting spot guidance process by the shooting spot guidance system 10 is executed as described above.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of guidance information W2 displayed on the display unit 124. FIG. 6 shows a shooting spot when “March” is input as the guidance time, “XY Castle” is input as the guidance area, and display on the map is selected as the display method in step S100 of FIG. S1 to S8 are shown. In FIG. 6, hatched areas are non-guide areas that are not guide areas. As shown in FIG. 6, the number of images in the non-guide area is not counted even at positions where images are likely to be taken, such as “zoo” and “XY exhibition hall”. The shooting spot in the “XY exhibition hall” is not displayed as guidance information.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example W3 of the guidance information displayed on the display unit 124. In FIG. 7, “March” is input as the guidance time in step S100 of FIG. 2, “XY castle” is input as the guidance area, and it is selected to display the list as a display method. A shooting spot in the case where it is selected to give priority to guiding a position having a large number of is shown. FIG. 7 shows that the position where the most images are taken in the XY castle is S1. Note that, as described above, the guidance information may vary depending on the guidance time, so the guidance information shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 may also vary depending on the guidance time.

  In the shooting spot guidance process described above, the positions where the number of shootings exceeding the threshold are performed are guided as shooting spots. Since the position where a lot of photographing is performed is highly likely to be a position suitable for photographing where a scene or facility to be photographed exists, it is possible to perform photographing spot guidance with high accuracy for the user. In addition, the number of captured images is counted for each time period, and a position that exceeds the threshold at a time corresponding to the guidance time is guided as a shooting spot. Therefore, for example, even if the number of captured images varies depending on the time, such as a position where the cherry blossoms are beautiful or a position where the autumn leaves are beautiful, an appropriate shooting spot at the guidance time can be guided.

  The counting unit 214 counts the number of images taken for each position in the guidance area, and the guiding unit guides shooting spots in the guidance area. Therefore, the counting unit 214 counts without limiting the area. Compared to the case, the time required for aggregation can be shortened. Therefore, the user can quickly obtain guidance information. In addition, for example, even if there are facilities or theme parks where a large number of images are likely to be taken in the non-guide area, the shooting spots in the non-guide area are not guided, so that highly accurate guidance can be performed.

  Furthermore, since the guide unit 216 can preferentially guide positions with a large number of images among the shooting spots, it can identify and guide more popular shooting spots. Therefore, since the user can shoot from a popular shooting spot, it is possible to provide guidance that is highly convenient for the user.

B. Variations:
B1. Modification 1:
In the above-described embodiment, the position information may further include altitude in addition to longitude and latitude. In this way, even if the longitude and latitude are the same, such as facilities with multiple levels, even if the number of images shot according to the altitude is different, the appropriate shooting spot according to the altitude is guided be able to. Therefore, the accuracy of shooting spot guidance can be improved.

B2. Modification 2:
In the above-described embodiment, the image information may include a shooting direction (angle). For example, the totaling unit 214 counts the direction in which the number of captured directions is large for the images captured at the photographing spot, and the guide unit 216 guides the direction in which the number of captured images is large or the direction in which the threshold value is exceeded. May be. In this way, the user can easily find the shooting target at the shooting spot, and can provide highly convenient guidance.

B3. Modification 3:
In the above-described embodiment, the image information may include various shooting conditions for shooting the image. For example, the counting unit 214 captures a large number of photographed images among various photographing modes for photographing an image photographed at a photographing spot, such as a night view mode, red-eye correction, backlight mode, and flash prohibition mode. The modes may be totaled, and the guide unit 216 may guide the totaled shooting modes. By doing so, the user can know the shooting mode suitable for shooting at the shooting spot, so that the possibility of shooting a high-quality image can be increased.

B4. Modification 4:
In the above-described embodiment, the unit of time when the totaling unit 214 performs totaling is the month. On the other hand, the unit of time for counting the number of captured images may be, for example, a combination of time, day, week, season, a specific time zone on a specific day, and the like. For example, when a night time zone is designated as the guidance time, shooting spots in the night time zone are guided. In this way, the accuracy of shooting spot guidance can be increased by arbitrarily setting the timing of aggregation.

B5. Modification 5:
In the above-described embodiment, the main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 associates an event occurrence time (time information) such as an exhibition held irregularly or an accident that occurred in the past with a position (position information). An irregular event database may be stored. The irregular event database may be created based on news or blog articles, for example. The counting unit 214 refers to the irregular event database and excludes from the counting result the image including the time information corresponding to the event occurrence time and the image information having the position information corresponding to the event occurrence position. Also good. Normally, many images are taken at an event, but there is a high possibility that the position where an image was taken at an irregular event does not have a subject to be photographed after the event ends. If such a position is guided as a shooting spot, the user may not be able to find an object to be shot. However, if an image having image information corresponding to the event occurrence time and position is excluded from the total result, the accuracy of shooting spot guidance can be further improved.

B6. Modification 6:
In the above-described embodiment, the main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 may include a periodic event database that stores the holding time (period information) of the periodically held event and the holding position (position information). Good. The regular event database may be created based on news or blog articles, for example. When the event occurrence time and the guidance time in the regular event database correspond to each other, and the guidance area includes the event holding position, the guidance unit 216 preferentially selects a shooting spot corresponding to the position. You may be guided to. In this way, the user can perform shooting without missing a regularly held event, and thus can provide highly convenient guidance.

B7. Modification 7:
In the above-described embodiment, the threshold value is determined in advance by the administrator of the shooting spot guidance system 10 and stored in the storage unit 230. On the other hand, the threshold value may be determined for each area. For example, an area with a large number of visitors has a larger number of images to be photographed than an area with a small number of visitors. Therefore, if the threshold value is set according to the number of visitors, it is possible to eliminate the annoyance caused by a large number of shooting spots being guided in an area where the number of visitors is large. In addition, in an area where the number of visitors is small, it is possible to appropriately guide shooting spots. Therefore, highly accurate guidance can be performed.

B8. Modification 8:
In the above-described embodiment, when no guidance area is set, the number of images is totaled with the guidance area as a predetermined range from the current position. On the other hand, the main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 stores an exclusion area to be excluded from the aggregation result in the area database 250, and the aggregation unit 214 includes the exclusion area within a predetermined range from the current position. Alternatively, images taken in the exclusion area may be excluded from the total result. Normally, many images are shot at a wedding hall or the like, but the wedding hall is not suitable as a shooting spot for a user who is not involved in the wedding ceremony. Therefore, if such an area is stored as an excluded area, and images captured in the excluded area are excluded from the total result, the accuracy of shooting spot guidance can be improved.

B9. Modification 9:
In the above-described embodiment, when the guide time is not designated, the counting unit 214 guides the position where the total results for each time in the past year exceed all thresholds as shooting spots. ing. On the other hand, the totaling unit 214 obtains the transition (inclination, increasing rate, decreasing rate) of the totaling results for each period, and the guiding unit 216 determines the position where the increasing rate exceeds a predetermined value as the latest shooting spot. You may guide as. In this way, it is possible to guide shooting spots with high topicality.

B10. Modification 10:
In the above-described embodiment, for example, as described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, information indicating a shooting spot is displayed on the display unit 124 as guide information. On the other hand, the guide unit 216 identifies and displays shooting spots on the display unit 124 as guidance information, and based on the current position of the user of the smartphone 100, the distance to each shooting spot and the moving means are displayed. The corresponding arrival time may be displayed. In addition, the guide unit 216 may perform a route search from the current position to the shooting spot using the map database 260. In this way, highly convenient guidance can be performed. In addition, when the current position reaches the vicinity of the shooting spot, the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100 may notify the user by displaying that fact on the display unit 124 or by voice. By doing so, it is possible to increase the possibility that the photographing can be reliably performed at the photographing spot.

B11. Modification 11:
The guidance server 200 may further include an image processing unit that further performs image processing on images aggregated for each position and identifies similar photographs. The counting unit 214 may count the number of similar images. In this way, shooting spots where similar pictures are taken are guided, so the certainty of shooting spot guidance can be improved. In addition, the guide unit 216 may display the images aggregated as similar images superimposed on the shooting spot guidance information. By doing so, the user can surely grasp the photographing target and photograph a popular photographing target.

B12: Modification 12:
In the above-described embodiment, the guidance server 200 stores image information in the image information database 240 of the storage unit 230. On the other hand, the main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 may obtain image information corresponding to the guidance conditions from an external server via the communication unit 220 when obtaining the guidance conditions and the guidance request. By doing so, the storage area of the guidance server 200 can be used effectively. Further, the main control unit 210 of the guidance server 200 may acquire image information from an external server at a predetermined timing.

B13: Modification 13:
In the above-described embodiment, the guidance server 200 stores image information, area data, map data, and network data. On the other hand, the smartphone 100 may store these data in its own memory. In this case, the smartphone 100 can perform shooting spot guidance processing using image information, area data, map data, and network data stored in its own memory.

B14. Modification 14:
In the above-described embodiment, when there is no input in the guidance time input field C1, the control unit 110 sets the guidance time to one year and transmits it to the guidance server 200. The number of images taken for each position is counted. On the other hand, the totaling unit 214 may perform totalization on images stored in the image information database 240 regardless of the time. By doing so, it is possible to perform aggregation for more images. If no input is made in the guidance area input field C2, the control unit 110 detects the current position of the user, sets the guidance area within a predetermined range from the current position, and transmits it to the guidance server 200. The totaling unit 214 totals the number of images taken for each position in the guidance area. On the other hand, the totalization unit 214 may perform totalization on images stored in the image information database 240 regardless of the position.

B15. Modification 15:
The image to be totaled by the totalization unit 214 is not limited to a still image but may be a moving image. Further, the counting unit 214 counts the number of moving images shot and the number of shot still images for each position, and the guide unit 216 displays the position where the number of shot moving images exceeds the threshold as a moving image. It may be guided as a shooting spot, and a position where the number of still images taken exceeds a threshold value may be guided as a still image shooting spot. By doing this, it is possible to guide each of a shooting spot suitable for shooting a moving image and a shooting spot suitable for shooting a still image.

B16. Modification 16
In the above-described embodiment, the shooting spot guidance process is executed using the smartphone 100. On the other hand, the smartphone 100 can be replaced with various devices such as a general mobile phone, a notebook personal computer, a tablet terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an in-vehicle terminal, a portable music player, and a portable game machine. It is.
