At the synchronization timing, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU 202, and the timing control circuit 208 starts counting the relative time. When an event such as the generation of emotion information or a feeling stamp occurs while synchronization is established, the wearable camera 4 also makes an interrupt request to the CPU 420 and starts counting the relative time of the timing control circuit 452. An event such as a shooting instruction from the terminal 2 or a feeling stamp occurrence notification is received.
Therefore, when the notification of the generation of the feeling stamp is received from the wrist terminal 2, the wrist terminal 2 and the wearable camera 4 are completely synchronized and there is no time lag. These synchronization controls are executed based on the synchronization programs 213 and 436.

For example, if the lens 404 is attached to the lower part of the brim of the hat so as to face the user, the user's face can be photographed at all times, and analysis of the emotion of the user at that time Can be used for

Next, the usage method and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Training mode>
<Operation of wrist terminal 2>
The user wears wrist terminal 2 on his arm and wearable camera 4 on his head, and starts training. The course, distance, target time, etc. may be set in advance, or may be run arbitrarily.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the wrist terminal 2 in accordance with the user's operation.

First, in the flowchart of FIG. 7, step S <b> 10 is a state in which a menu screen is displayed on the display unit 206 of the wrist terminal 2. Here, either the training mode or the replay mode can be selected (step S12).
If the replay mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S24 to execute the replay process. The replay process is for reproducing the training situation, and will not be described in detail in the present embodiment. Of course, other options may be prepared. If the training mode is selected in this state, the process proceeds to the start screen display (step S14).

When starting, the START menu is selected from the menu display (step S16). Then, it progresses to step S18 and starts a measurement process.
If the STOP menu is selected during training, that is, during measurement (step S20), it is determined that the training has ended, and the process proceeds to step S22 to display the training result.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining details of the measurement process in step S18 in FIG.
During training, the sensor 252, the biosensor 254, and the environment sensor 256 appropriately measure and collect information (step S100). That is, the current time and current position are acquired by the GPS 250. The current time may be obtained from the built-in clock.
Further, the sensor 252 obtains the traveling direction and acceleration, and corrects the current position.
The biological sensor 254 acquires biological information such as body temperature and pulse.
Environmental information such as ambient temperature and humidity around the wrist terminal 2 is acquired by the environmental sensor 256.
At the same time, the running time (time information) from the start is calculated and recorded.

  The collected information is sent to the server 11 sequentially or collectively through the buffer memory 280, and the position information storage area 121, the time information storage area 122, the time information storage area 123, and the biological information storage area, respectively. 126 and the environment information storage area 127, respectively.

In step S106, it is determined whether emotion information has been input. If NO, the process proceeds to step S110.
If YES, emotion information is acquired in step S108. The emotion information acquisition process will be described later. Emotion information is stored in the emotion information area 124 of the server 11. Emotion information is stored in the emotion information storage area 124 of the server.

In step S <b> 114, shooting is performed by the wearable camera 4 under the control of the camera control unit 290 of the wrist terminal 2. Specifically, when a feeling stamp is selected, the photograph is recorded on the spot with the feeling stamp and set. The captured image data is recorded as a buffer in the image memory 272 and then stored in the image memory 170 of the server 11.
In addition, when the moving image is always photographed, sequential photographing is continued in parallel with the measurement operation in step S100.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing details of the emotion information acquisition process in step S108 in FIG. As will be described below, the emotion information of the user is obtained by any one of information collected by the biometric sensor 252, data captured by the wearable camera 4, and selection of a feeling stamp.

In step S204, the emotion of the user is determined from the biological information collected by the biological sensor 254. Various methods for discriminating a user's stress level from biological information such as a pulse have been proposed (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 4641811 and Japanese Patent No. 5046286), and will not be described in detail here.
The biological information analysis program 114 selects a feeling stamp appropriate for the determination result from FIG. 11 described later (step S208). The selected feeling stamp becomes an emotion image of the user and is stored in the emotion image memory 140.

  In step S206, when the wearable camera 4 has photographed the user's face in step S114, the photographed image data is stored in the image memory 170 of the server 11 using the image memory 272 as a buffer, and face recognition is performed. Emotion is discriminated by the program 115. Various techniques for discriminating human emotions have been proposed as face recognition techniques, and will not be described in detail here. The face recognition program 115 selects a feeling stamp appropriate for the determination result from FIG. 11 described later (step S208). The selected feeling stamp becomes an emotion image of the user and is stored in the emotion image memory 140.

  In step S208, a feeling stamp is selected based on the result of the above-described biometric information analysis program 114 determining the user's emotion or the result of the face recognition program 115 determining the user's emotion. FIG. 11 shows an example of a feeling stamp. The user himself / herself may select any feeling stamp during training. For example, a plurality of feeling stamps are prepared as shown in the figure, and A1 to A9 are feeling stamps expressing different emotions. Many feeling stamps other than this are prepared, and when the user himself / herself selects, the feeling stamp screen is displayed by scrolling the display unit 206, and the feeling stamp most suitable for his / her feeling is selected. Or, as mentioned above, “Kirikae” is generated by voice command, and it switches to the feeling stamp screen, and when it says “Energetic” “Fair” “Fun” “Fair” “Fatigue” “Hard” etc., the corresponding feeling A stamp is selected.

When the biometric information analysis program 114 or the face recognition program 115 selects a feeling stamp based on the result of determining the user's emotion, the selection is performed at a timing when it is determined that the determination result of the user's emotion is a preset emotion state. Is done.
The selected feeling stamp is a user's emotion image as described above, and is recorded in the emotion image memory 140.

<Operation of wearable camera 4>
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the wearable camera 4. First, before starting training, wearable camera 4 is set to a standby mode (step S400). This is in the standby mode in conjunction with the selection of the start menu (FIG. 6, step S12) in the wrist terminal 2, but it can be set by an operation switch (not shown) of the wearable camera 4 main body. Alternatively, the wrist terminal 2 may be set by remote operation like a remote controller.

  First, it is detected whether a synchronization signal is sent from the wrist terminal 2 (step S402). This synchronization signal is a synchronization signal for synchronization in wireless communication, and is defined by standards such as Bluetooth. Waiting for the reception of the synchronization signal, it is detected whether or not synchronization between wrist terminal 2 and wearable camera 6 is established (step S404). When detecting that synchronization is established, the timing control circuit 452 starts counting relative time (step S406). At this stage, the relative times of the wrist terminal 2 and the wearable camera 4 coincide. Therefore, it is possible to realize synchronization processing between the wrist terminal 2 and the application layer inside the wearable camera 4 by using the synchronization signal of the general-purpose wireless communication system.

In step S408, shooting is started under the control of the shooting control program 436.
For example, a plurality of images may be captured per second as in continuous shooting, or approximately one image may be captured per minute (step S402). The photographed image is held in the image memory 440 for a certain period of time using a FIFO (First In First Out) method.

Since automatic shooting during training, there is a high possibility of out-of-focus and blurring. Therefore, a plurality of photographs are taken, and the optimum photograph can be selected from them. The selection of a photo is performed under the control of the photo selection program 436 or the photo selection program 117 of the server 11. In the specification, an image (image data) taken by the wearable camera 4 is referred to as a photograph.
Several techniques for selecting photos with less blur and blur are not described in detail.

Needless to say, the photos used in the drawings are merely examples for explaining the present embodiment, and have nothing to do with the actual place, course, etc. There is no meaning.
Further, as described above, the wearable camera 4 itself can receive various biological information and emotion information, and can determine the photographing timing instructed by the server 11 or the wrist terminal 2 by itself based on the information.
Further, when the lens 404 is installed so as to photograph the user's own face as described with reference to FIG. 8, the photographing information of the user's face can be used as emotion information.

  Next, when the feeling stamp is selected by the wrist terminal 2 by any of the above-mentioned several methods, it is received as emotion information (step S410), and for example, received among the photographs taken in step S408. A total of 11 photos of just timing photos and 5 photos before and after the photos are stored in the image memory 440 (step S414). This timing is managed by the timing control circuit 452 because synchronization is established. For example, the timing is accurately set at the moment when the feeling stamp is selected, at 1 second, or 0.5 seconds before. It is possible.

If a shooting instruction is received from the wrist terminal 2 other than the reception of emotion information (step S412), the process proceeds to step S414 to save the photograph.
In addition, the stored photo or an arbitrary photo can be stored in the SD card 442 and can be viewed on another playback device.
The stored photograph is transmitted to the wrist terminal 2 (step S408), temporarily stored in the image memory 272 of the wrist terminal 2, and further sent to the server 11 and stored in the image memory 170.
When the standby mode of the wearable camera 4 ends (step S416), the shooting flow ends (step S418). As with the start, this may be set by an operation switch (not shown) of the wearable camera 4 main body, or may be set by remote operation from the wrist terminal 2 like a remote control.

<Timeline display>
Next, timeline display will be described.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the server 11 for creating a timeline according to the user's behavior, and FIG. 13 shows a display example of the timeline of the PC 3 or the smartphone terminal 1-2.
FIG. 13 (a) shows a display image of the display unit 340 of the smartphone terminal 1, and the course C and the current position N of the training user are displayed in the upper half. In the lower half, a timeline TL is displayed. FIG. 13B shows an example in which the smartphone 1 is displayed horizontally, in which the course C and the current position N are displayed on the left half, and the timeline TL is displayed on the right half.

In FIG. 13B, in addition to the current position N of the user, the position NA of the friend A running on the same course is indicated by an icon. That is, it is a display example after the user meets the friend A. Since it is premised that the friend A is wearing the same wrist terminal 2 and training, the positions of each other can be known through the SNS site 10. Therefore, it is possible to compete, to compete for time, or to become a pacemaker. Of course, the time can be compared and displayed, but the icon display form can be changed, or when the other party (friend A) is approaching, the icon can be flashed to indicate that it is being chased.
Further, since the past training data is stored in the history data storage unit 108 in the server 11, the past training results and the training results of the friend A are read out, and training or competition with the virtual partner is performed. It is also possible to do.

Thus, examples of timelines are shown in FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C.
Hereinafter, the timeline display will be described with reference to the flowchart executed by the CPU 102 of the server 11 in FIG. 14 and the display examples of the timelines in FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C.
First, in step S502, it is waited whether there is no comment contribution from the user himself. If “NO” here, the process proceeds to a step S504 to wait for a comment post from a friend. A friend is another user who has a specific friend relationship within the SNS system 10. If “NO” here, the process proceeds to a step S506 to wait for a feeling stamp to be generated in the wrist terminal 2. As described above, the feeling stamp selects and transmits one of the feeling stamps shown in FIG. 11 expressing the feeling based on the emotion information of the user during training.
If “NO” here as well, it is determined in step S508 whether the STOP menu has been selected, that is, whether the training has ended. If “NO” again, the process returns to step S502 to continue the loop.

When a comment from the user is detected in step S502, the comment is temporarily stored in the comment memory 160. Then, the process proceeds to step S510, and the timeline posted by the user is flowed as shown in FIG. 15A (1). This process is performed by the timeline creation program 116. The time stamp is automatically given. This display can be viewed on the member's smartphone terminal 1 or the PC 3.
FIG. 15A (1) shows a comment posted by the user himself (to himself) to go jogging to the Imperial Palace tomorrow. In response to this, when a comment “Be careful” is posted from an arbitrary terminal of the friend A, the presence of the comment of the friend is detected in step S504, and the timeline is displayed as shown in FIG. 15A (2). Similarly, the comment “Good luck!” Of friend B is also displayed as shown in FIG. 15A (3). 15A (4) and 15 (5) show the state where he / she made a comment “The course is here” and uploaded the map. Photos can be posted along with the comment text. In FIG. 15A (6), “I may also go” indicates the comment of friend A, and “I wish I can meet” in FIG. 15A (7) indicates my comment. Since it is well known that any photo can be uploaded to the timeline and a friend can create any icon, it will not be described in detail.

  Now, when a user (self) who wears the wrist terminal 2 and the wearable camera 4 and trains selects the START menu from the menu screen of the wrist terminal 2 and starts training, the timeline is displayed as shown in FIG. 15B (8). A “START” comment is automatically transmitted from the server 11. In the same figure, what is expressed by a double line in a comment balloon indicates that it is not a user's post but automatic transmission of the server 11.

Then, a feeling stamp A9 that matches the emotion information of the user at that time is selected from the emotion image memory 120, and the photograph is taken by the wearable camera 4 at that time and is uploaded to the timeline together with the photograph stored in the image memory 170 (FIG. 14). Step S506, FIG. 15B (9)).
As described above, the feeling stamp is automatically determined based on the result of the biological information analysis program 114 or selected by the user himself / herself.

  That is, when training is started, feeling stamps are automatically uploaded to the timeline according to the emotions of the user at the same time, and photographs taken with the wearable camera 4 are also uploaded together. Therefore, the generation timing of the feeling stamp and the timing of shooting with the wearable camera 4 are synchronized. As an example, 11 photographs are taken before and after the feeling stamp generation timing, and the photograph selection program 117 automatically selects and uploads the photograph with the least blur and blurring. The wearable camera 4 can take and save multiple photos, so you can either upload just-timed photos or take photos taken about 0.5 seconds ago to account for time lag. Also good.

In FIG. 15B (10), the comment “Friendly course” of friend C is uploaded, and in FIG. 15B (11), feeling stamp A1 and photograph P2 are being trained smoothly.
In FIG. 15B (12), the feeling stamp A2 and the photograph P3, which are automatically or manually selected from the feelings when approaching the uphill, are uploaded.
In FIG. 15B (13), the comment “Please do your best” of friend C is displayed.
In FIG. 15C (14), a feeling stamp A3 and a photograph P4 that are relieved after going up the hill are uploaded.

In FIG. 15C (15), the comment “Good luck” of friend B is displayed, and in FIG. 15C (16), friend A meets the user (self) and displays the comment “Join”. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15C (17), the feeling stamp A6 indicating the greeting is increased, and the photograph P5 showing the friend A photographed at that time is also increased.
In FIG. 15C (16), a feeling stamp A7, which is impressed by seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom, and a photograph P6 in which the cherry trees are reflected are uploaded.
When the training is finished, the STOP menu is selected from the menu display, and the training mode is finished in step S508 of FIG.
At this time, “GOAL” is automatically transmitted from the server 11 as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 25 (20), a joy stamp A4 when the goal is reached and a goal photograph P7 taken at that time are uploaded.

  As a modified example, when it becomes difficult, it can request “a friend asks for support”. For this purpose, for example, when a “Cheer Me” (not shown, voice input) button of the wrist terminal 2 is pressed, a message is sent to the friend's smartphone terminal 1 via the smartphone terminal 1 and the server 11. The side (friend) who receives the message can return a support message (or support stamp) by operating the “Cheer” command on the application program. Therefore, the training user can receive support in real time. In FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C, the support message may be interrupted up during the timeline. Whether it is difficult or not is not only self-reported, but it is automatically determined from the biological information collected by the biological sensor 254, such as the speed has fallen and the heart rate has risen, and the running user himself / herself is notified. May be. When the value reaches a certain value, a message “Would you like to support me?” Is displayed on the display unit 202 of the terminal 2.

When the training is completed, the “STOP” menu is selected from the menu screen.
The various information collected by the wrist terminal 2 may be sent to the server 11 in real time via a telephone line or via a smartphone when the smartphone is held together, or once every 10 minutes and once per hour. It may be sent periodically such as times. In addition, after the training is completed, the server 11 may be connected to the server 11 wirelessly or by wire and may be sent collectively. Basically, it is not necessary to connect to the SNS site 10 during training. After the training is completed, for example, the information collected during the training by the wrist terminal 2 can be uploaded to the server 11 by connecting to the PC 3. . The server 11 can execute the replay process (step S24 in FIG. 7) based on the collected information.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and training is understood in a broad sense. That is, it can be applied to walking, sightseeing, walking, walking, jogging, marathon, cycling, mountain climbing, marine sports, etc., and it can also be applied to pet walking, elderly people, and elderly people. Training and workout are synonymous.

  In addition, although a wristwatch type wrist terminal that is worn on the arm and trained has been described as an example, the wrist-type wrist terminal is not limited thereto, and may be worn on the head, attached to the waist, or held by hand. The same applies to wearable cameras, which can be worn on the waist, in glasses, or held by hand.

<Embodiments and Inferred Variations and Their Effects>
The user's emotion and physical condition can be discriminated from the collected information of the biometric sensor, and reflected in the shooting control such as the shooting timing of the photo and the selection of the photo.
The user's emotions and physical condition can be discriminated and reflected in shooting control simply by image processing of the shot photo.
The collected information of the biosensor, the determination result, and the photograph can be recorded as daily life activity history (life log), or can be posted to the SNS and shared.
When a user generates a predetermined event such as mail transmission or comment writing, the user's emotion and physical condition at that time can be determined and reflected in the imaging control.
Based on the user's biological information when the event occurs, it can be reflected in the imaging control.
Based on changes in biometric information before and after the occurrence of an event, temporal changes in the user's emotion and physical condition can be determined and reflected in imaging control.
It is possible to synthesize an object indicating emotion to the playback image of the wearable camera.
By just looking at the pictures taken, you can convey the emotions and conditions of the other party in an easy-to-understand and interesting way.

For each imaging scene of the wearable camera, various biological information of the user at that time in the scene may be recorded. Thus, it can be reflected in shooting control for each scene in association with moving image data and scenes shot. In addition, for each imaging scene, the emotion and physical condition of the user at that time can be determined and reflected in the imaging control.
The user's biometric information may be recorded in association with the captured moving image or its scene, and may be combined with a reproduced image (replay image) to display a graph or an object.
What kind of training scene it was, how it was impressed when each scene and record was achieved, what kind of emotion and mental state it was, and the impression of the user You can check the status data and share it with friends and others.

Although the example in which the lens is directed to the outer side of the hat shape and the example in which the lens is provided on the lower side of the collar has been described, if multiple imaging units are provided, external scenery etc. can be recorded intermittently or continuously, and the user's face at the same time as the scenery An image can also be taken and the user's biometric information can be extracted and discriminated from the face image.
The captured moving image can be stored in the SD card or server as log information in association with the user's face image or biometric information.
Detecting user's biometric information from a video of a face image, synthesizing information such as the user's emotion and mental state at that time from log data, and displaying objects indicating emotion Also good.
The biological information extracted from the face image or the biological sensor may be time-series change data such as the respiratory rate or the respiratory interval.
When you need concentration, such as training, moving, or driving, and you don't want to be distracted by other actions, you can take pictures of the camera or perform certain functions of the equipment without blocking your hands. , Can concentrate on exercise and sports, etc., and can also prevent shooting failures and accidents.
