Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal device, a management device, a control method for the terminal device, a control method for the management device, a program, and an imaging system.

  I want to take photos at theme parks and travel destinations, but the camera is bulky and I want to go hands-free. In addition, there is a problem that when a photograph is taken in a group action, the photographer cannot appear in the photograph. In addition, shooting by tripod shooting has a problem that the shooting angle is limited. Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a system for sharing and photographing a publicly installed camera (hereinafter referred to as a public camera).

  In this system, since a plurality of users share a public camera, it is preferable that the right to use the shooting spot and the public camera be transferred to the next user immediately after shooting. However, when the user terminal can acquire a photographed image on the spot, the user often stays at the photographing spot due to an action of browsing the image photographed at the photographing spot after photographing. Therefore, Patent Document 2 discloses a method of limiting the acquisition of shooting data although shooting is possible within a specific area.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-96530 Japanese Patent No. 4478380

  However, within the specific area, the acquisition of the captured data itself is limited, and even if the user leaves the specific area, the captured data is not stored and acquisition is impossible. On the other hand, if the restriction is released, after shooting, the user who acquired the shooting data stays in the shooting area, which causes the next user to be prevented from shooting.

  An object of the present invention is to enable a photographer to quickly release a photographing spot after completion of photographing.

  The terminal device according to the present invention is a terminal device, and corresponds to the first execution unit that transmits a photographing execution request and the photographing execution request when the position of the terminal device of the terminal device is outside the unacquisable area. And a first receiving unit that does not receive an image shot in response to the shooting execution request when the position of the terminal device is within the unacquisable area.

  According to the present invention, it is possible for the photographer to release the photographing spot immediately after the photographing is completed.

To do.

  In step S627, the user terminal 20 displays the thumbnail screen 840 received from the management server 50 on the display unit 306, as shown in FIG. A screen 840 is a thumbnail confirmation screen received from the management server 50. In step S <b> 628, the user 2 confirms the captured image screen 840. In step S629, the user 2 refers to the screen 840 and determines whether or not to perform reshooting. A button 841 is a reshoot request button. When the user 2 operates the button 841, the process returns to step S622 to perform the photographing operation again. A button 842 is a shooting end button. When the user 2 confirms the shooting data on the screen 840 and determines that there is no problem, when the button 842 is operated, the shooting is terminated and the process proceeds to step S640.

  In step S <b> 640, when the user terminal 20 detects the operation of the shooting end button 842, the user terminal 20 acquires the current position of the user terminal 20 detected by the position detection unit 308, and sends it to the management server 50 via the communication unit 301. The current position of the user terminal 20 is transmitted. In step S <b> 641, the management server 50 receives the current position of the user terminal 20 from the user terminal 20 via the communication unit 101.

  In step S 642, the management server 50 determines whether or not the current position of the user terminal 20 is within the shooting data acquisition impossible area stored in the storage medium 104. If the management server 50 determines that the current position of the user terminal 20 is within the shooting data unacquisable area, the management server 50 transmits to the user terminal 20 that it is within the shooting data unacquisable area, and proceeds to step S643.

  In step S643, as shown in FIG. 7H, the user terminal 20 displays on the display unit 306 a screen 850 indicating that it is in the shooting data acquisition impossible area. The screen 850 is a screen that displays that photographing data cannot be acquired. The message display 851 describes that the user terminal 20 must be moved out of the shooting data unacquisition area in order to acquire shooting data. The simple range display 852 is a range display that abstractly represents a shooting data acquisition impossible area. The management server 50 generates a simple range display 852 from the photographing data acquisition impossible area information stored in the storage medium 104 and causes the user terminal 20 to display the simple range display 852. The simple range display 852 is an index that indicates to which direction the user 2 can quickly go out of the area where the photographing data cannot be acquired, and can be displayed in a simplified expression such as a circle or a strip. The simple range display 852 can be expressed by a more detailed topographic map. The cursor 853 is a cursor that indicates where the user terminal 20 is located in the shooting data acquisition impossible area. The management server 50 receives the current position of the user terminal 20 and can calculate at which position in the previous simple range display 852 the user terminal 20 exists. The direction display 854 indicates the direction information in the simple range display 852. On the screen 850, when the back direction of the screen is the north side, and the user 2 recognizes the direction information of the shooting area, it is a material for determining which direction to move in order to exit the shooting data unacquisition area Become. In FIG. 7 (h), it can be seen that the current position of the user terminal 20 is from the west in the shooting data non-acquisition area, and the user 2 moves away from the shooting data non-acquisition area by moving to the west.
