  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

{1. Configuration of digital camera}
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a digital camera 1 according to the present embodiment. The digital camera 1 has a position detection function. For this reason, the digital camera 1 can add position information indicating the shooting point to the shot image data when shooting the subject. As shown in FIG. 1, the digital camera 1 includes an operation unit 11, a liquid crystal panel 12, a photographing unit 13, an image processing unit 14, a position detection unit 15, a posture detection unit 16, and a memory card slot 17. And a navigation unit 18.

  The operation unit 11 includes various buttons for operating the digital camera 1 such as a shutter button. The liquid crystal panel 12 displays captured image data generated by the imaging unit 13, captured image data selected by the user, and the like.

  The photographing unit 13 includes a lens (not shown) and an image sensor such as a CCD. The imaging unit 13 generates uncompressed image data by forming a subject image input via a lens.

  The image processing unit 14 inputs uncompressed image data. The image processing unit 14 performs processing such as color tone correction, color space conversion, and encoding on uncompressed image data, and generates captured image data. The captured image data is stored in the memory card 30.

  The position detection unit 15 includes a GPS antenna and the like, receives a GPS signal, and outputs current location information 21 indicating the current location of the digital camera 1. The current location information 21 is added to the captured image data as position information indicating the shooting location of the captured image data 20. The addition of position information to the captured image data is performed by the image processing unit 14. When the captured image data is in the JPEG format, the current location information 21 is added to the captured image data in a state described in the Exif format.

  The posture detection unit 16 is a device that detects the posture (such as a shooting direction) of the digital camera 1 and includes a geomagnetic sensor or a gyroscope. The posture detection unit 16 outputs posture information 27 indicating the shooting direction of the digital camera 1.

  The memory card slot 17 is an interface for inserting a large-capacity memory card 30 such as a flash memory. The memory card 30 stores captured image data 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E, and 20F. The photographed image data 20A to 20F are image data generated by photographing the subject by the digital camera 1 unless otherwise specified.

  The navigation unit 18 performs navigation processing for instructing the direction from the current location to the destination as seen. The destination is set by the user selecting photographed image data obtained by photographing the destination from the photographed image data 20A to 20F. The navigation unit 18 includes a destination setting unit 181, a waypoint determination unit 182, and a direction instruction unit 183.

  Based on the operation information input from the operation unit 11, the destination setting unit 181 selects captured image data in which the destination is captured from the captured image data 20 </ b> A to 20 </ b> F. The destination setting unit 181 acquires position information from the selected captured image data, and sets a shooting point indicated by the acquired position information (destination information 25) as a destination.

  The waypoint determination unit 182 uses the current location information 21, the destination information 25, and the location information added to the captured image data 20A to 20F (excluding the captured image data selected by the user) from the current location to the destination. Determine the waypoints to pass when moving to the ground.

  The direction instructing unit 183 calculates the direction of the destination as viewed from the current location based on the current location information 21 and the destination information 25. When the waypoint information 26 indicating the position of the waypoint is set, the direction of the waypoint viewed from the current location is calculated based on the current location information 21 and the waypoint information 26 instead of the destination information 25. Is done. The direction instructing unit 183 instructs the moving direction to the user by displaying the calculated direction on the liquid crystal panel 11.

{2. Navigation process flow}
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an outline of navigation processing performed by the digital camera 1. When the user goes to travel with the digital camera 1, the user takes pictures at various places. The user can use the navigation function of the digital camera 1 to return to the place where the image was taken with the digital camera 1, for example, when he / she gets lost during a trip.

  First, a destination is set (step S1). The user operates the digital camera 1 to specify photographed image data obtained by photographing the destination from the photographed image data 20A to 20F stored in the memory card 30. The destination setting unit 181 sets the destination information 25 based on the position information acquired from the designated captured image data 20.

  Next, a shooting point (passage point) that passes before moving from the current location to the destination is determined (step S2). The waypoint is determined based on the destination information 26 and the position information of the captured image data not selected as the destination. When a plurality of waypoints are determined, the route point determination unit 182 determines the order of passing through each waypoint. The waypoint determination unit 182 outputs the position information of each waypoint and the waypoint information 26 indicating the order of passage of each waypoint to the direction instruction unit 183.

  The direction instruction unit 183 displays the moving direction of the user on the liquid crystal panel 12 using the current location information 21, the destination information 25, and the waypoint information 26 (step S3). The user moves to the waypoint or destination according to the display on the liquid crystal panel 11. The direction instructing unit 183 may instruct the user in the direction of movement by reproducing audio data instructing a direction (north, southeast, etc.).

  Hereinafter, the processing of each step will be described in detail.

{2.1. Destination setting process (step S1)}
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a destination setting screen displayed on the liquid crystal panel 12 when the user sets a destination in the destination setting process (step S1).

  The destination setting unit 181 reads the captured image data 20A to 20F from the memory card 30, and creates thumbnails of the captured image data 20A to 20F. A list of thumbnails of the photographed image data 20A to 20F is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 12 as a destination setting screen. Position information 21A to 21F corresponding to each of the captured image data 20A to 20F is displayed below the thumbnails of the image data 20A to 20F.

  The user operates the operation unit 11 to select photographed image data in which the destination is photographed from the photographed image data 20A to 20F displayed on the liquid crystal panel 12. For example, when the captured image data 20B indicated by hatching is selected, the destination setting unit 181 displays the captured image data 20B on the liquid crystal panel 12 in an enlarged manner.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the captured image data 20B displayed on the liquid crystal panel 12 in an enlarged manner. When the captured image data 20B is enlarged and displayed, the user can finally confirm that the subject of the captured image data 20B is the destination. When the user presses an “OK” button (not shown), the shooting point of the shot image data 20B is set as the destination. The destination setting unit 181 acquires position information 21B from the captured image data 20B, and sets the acquired position information 21B as destination information 25.

  As described above, the user can set the destination only by specifying the captured image data in which the destination is captured. In many cases, the travel destination is a place where the user visits for the first time. For this reason, it is difficult for the user to accurately grasp the position on the map when he / she gets lost at the travel destination. Further, at the travel destination, the user does not always remember the place name of the destination. However, since the user often takes pictures at a travel destination, the user can easily remember where the photographed image data 20A to 20F were photographed. For this reason, the user can easily set a destination even in an unfamiliar place by selecting a photograph of the destination from the captured image data 20A to 20F.

{2.2. Route determination process (step S2)}
After the destination is set, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the waypoints that pass before moving to the destination. In the navigation process (step S3), the digital camera 1 instructs the moving direction of the user. However, when the distance from the current location to the destination is too far, the user may not be able to reach the destination. For this reason, the digital camera 1 sets the shooting point of the shot image data that has not been selected as the destination as the waypoint. The user can easily move to the destination by following the route points in order.

The waypoint determination unit 182 determines a waypoint based on one of the following (Method 1) to (Method 3).
(Method 1) All transit points are determined based on the current location information and the destination information.
(Method 2) Only the first waypoint is determined based on the current location information and the destination information, and the next waypoint is determined based on the determined location information and destination information.
(Method 3) The shooting point of the shot image data selected by the user is determined as a transit point.

  Hereinafter, the procedure of (Method 1) to (Method 3) will be described in detail by taking as an example the case where the shooting point 22B is set as the destination.

(Method 1)
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the procedure of Method 1 for determining a waypoint. In FIG. 5, the shooting points 22 </ b> A, 22 </ b> B, 22 </ b> C, 22 </ b> D, 22 </ b> E, and 22 </ b> F of the shot image data 20 </ b> A to 20 </ b> F are displayed using two-dimensional coordinates with the current location CP as the origin.

  When the waypoint determination unit 182 determines a waypoint based on the method 1, the waypoint can be set based on the destination information 25 (position information 21B of the shooting point 22B) and the current location information 21. The permission area 41 is determined. As shown in FIG. 5, the waypoint permission area 41 has a fan shape with a central angle of 60 ° with the current position CP as the origin. A straight line DL connecting the current location CP and the imaging point 22B, which is the destination, is a bisector of the central angle of the waypoint permission area 41 and corresponds to the radius of the arc of the waypoint permission area 41.

  The waypoint determination unit 182 determines the shooting points 22A, 22D, and 22E existing in the waypoint permission area 41 as a waypoint. By determining the waypoint based on the waypoint permission area 41, it is possible to prevent the route to the destination from being extremely detoured.

  Next, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the passing order of the photographing points 22A, 22D, and 22E. The waypoint determination unit 182 calculates the distances from the current location CP to the shooting locations 22A, 22D, and 22E using the current location information 21 and the location information 21A, 22D, and 22E, respectively. The passing order of the shooting points 22A, 22D, and 22E is determined so as to pass through the shooting points in ascending order of the distance from the current location CP. That is, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines to pass through the shooting point 22E, the shooting point 22D, and the shooting point 22A in this order. In FIG. 5, the route determined by the method 1 is indicated by a one-dot chain line arrow. Thereby, when going to the destination (photographing spot 22B), it is possible to prevent the route from being extremely detoured from being set.

  When determining the stopover area 41, the user may be able to adjust the degree of detour by setting the center angle of the sector. For example, when the central angle is set small, a route that goes straight to the destination can be set. When the central angle is set to be large, a detour route is set. However, it is possible to increase the probability that a shooting point that has not been selected as a destination is a transit point.

(Method 2)
A procedure for determining a waypoint based on Method 2 will be described. First, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the waypoint permission area 41 as in the method 1 (see FIG. 5). The waypoint determination unit 182 determines the shooting point 22E located at the shortest distance from the current location CP among the shooting points 22A, 22D, and 22E included in the route point permission area 41 as the first waypoint that passes through.

  Next, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the second waypoint that passes next to the shooting point 22E based on the destination information 25 (position information 21B of the shooting point 22B) and the position information 21E of the shooting point 22E. decide.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the waypoint permission area 42 set when the second waypoint is determined based on the method 2. FIG. 6 shows the photographing points 22A to 22F using two-dimensional coordinates with the current location CP as the origin, as in FIG. The stopover area 42 is set in the same manner as the stopover area 41 except that it is a sector having a central angle of 60 ° with the first stop (photographing point 22E) as the center. The waypoint determination unit 182 determines a shooting point closest to the first waypoint (shooting point 22E) among the shooting points included in the route point permission area 42 as the second waypoint. In FIG. 7, since only the shooting point 22A is included in the waypoint permission area 42, the shooting point 22A is determined as the second waypoint.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a waypoint permission area 43 that is set to determine a third waypoint that passes next to the second waypoint (shooting point 22A). The waypoint permission area 42 is set in the same manner as the waypoint permission area 41 except that the route point permission area 42 has a fan shape with a central angle of 60 °, which is the center of the second place (shooting point 22A). The waypoint determination unit 182 determines a shooting point closest to the second waypoint (shooting point 22A) among the shooting points included in the route point permission area 43 as the third waypoint. As shown in FIG. 7, the waypoint permission area 43 does not include a shooting point except for the destination (shooting point 22B). For this reason, the waypoint determination unit 182 ends the route point determination process (step S2) based on the method 2 without setting the third waypoint.

  As described above, when the method 2 is used, the waypoint is determined so as to pass through the shooting point 22E and the shooting point 22A in this order. In FIG. 7, the route determined by the method 2 is indicated by a one-dot chain line arrow. In the method 2, a new waypoint permission area is set every time a waypoint is determined, and a shooting point at the shortest distance in the set waypoint permission area is determined as the next waypoint. As a result, it is possible to set a route that reaches the destination linearly as compared with the method 1.

  In (Method 1) and (Method 2), the waypoint determination unit 182 may determine the passage order of the waypoints based on the shooting time. For example, in (Method 1), the photographing points 22A, 22D, and 22E are determined as transit points. In this case, the passing order is determined in order of the shooting time of the shooting image data 20A, 20D, and 20E corresponding to each of the shooting points 22A, 22D, and 22E.

(Method 3)
In Method 3, the user selects a waypoint from among the captured image data 20A and 20C to 20F that are not selected as the destination. For this reason, the method 3 can be used when the user determines a sightseeing route at a travel destination.

  When the user determines the waypoint using the method 3, the user does not use the captured image data captured by the digital camera 1 but acquires the captured image data to which the position information is added from a website or the like. For example, the user uses a personal computer to access a Web page that introduces tourist spots and downloads photographed image data with location information of tourist spots. The user stores the downloaded captured image data in the memory card 30 and inserts the memory card 30 into the memory card slot 17.

  Hereinafter, in the description of the method 3, it is assumed that the captured image data 20A to 20F is image data with position information downloaded from the website by the user.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a route to a destination when a waypoint is determined based on the method 3. In FIG. 8, the positions of the photographing spots 22 </ b> A to 22 </ b> F are shown using two-dimensional coordinates with the position of the current location CP as the origin. However, in FIG. 8, the positions of the photographing points 22A to 22F are different from those in FIGS.

  As described above, in the method 3, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the shooting point selected by the user as the waypoint. For example, consider a case where the shooting locations 22A, 22C, and 22D are selected as transit points. In this case, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the order of passing through the waypoints based on the distance from the destination to each waypoint. Specifically, the waypoint determination unit 182 calculates distances from the destination (shooting point 22B) to the shooting points 22A, 22C, and 22D. The waypoint determination unit 182 determines the order of passage of the waypoints so as to pass in order from a shooting point having a long distance from the destination.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the distance to the shooting point 22A is the longest and the distance to the shooting point 22D is the shortest among the distances from the destination to each waypoint (shooting points 22A, 22C, 22D). . For this reason, the shooting point 22A is determined as the first transit point that passes through first. Subsequently, the transit order of the waypoints is determined so as to pass in the order of the shooting point 22C and the shooting point 22D. In FIG. 8, the route determined by the method 3 is indicated by a one-dot chain line arrow.

  As described above, the method 3 can be used when the user determines a sightseeing route. For example, when a user arrives at a railway station or leaves a highway toll booth, the user sets a hotel to stay at as a destination, and determines a waypoint using method 3. Thereby, the route which can go around a sightseeing spot efficiently can be set. Note that the user may determine the passing order of the waypoints. In this case, the user can set a favorite route.

  After determining the waypoint in any one of (Method 1) to (Method 3), the user may add or delete the waypoint by operating the operation unit 11. For example, in (Method 1), the user may operate the operation unit 11 to delete the shooting point 22E from the waypoint. Thereby, the user can set his / her favorite course. In addition, the user may set in advance whether or not to set the waypoint.

  In addition to (Method 1) to (Method 3), the waypoint determination unit 182 can determine the shooting points of all photographed image data that are not selected as the destination as the waypoints. In this case, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the order of passage of each waypoint in order of increasing distance from the current location CP to the waypoint. Alternatively, the waypoint determination unit 182 determines the order of passage of each waypoint in order of increasing distance from the destination to each waypoint.

{2.3. Direction instruction process (step S3)}
After setting the destination and waypoint, the digital camera 1 starts the direction instruction processing (step S3, see FIG. 2).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a direction instruction screen displayed on the liquid crystal panel 11. In FIG. 9, it is assumed that the shooting point 22B is set as the destination, and the waypoints (shooting points 22A, 22D, and 22E) are determined based on the method 1 (see FIG. 5). The first waypoint to pass first is the photographing point 22E. The direction instruction unit 183 displays a direction instruction column 12A and a display mode switching column 12B on the liquid crystal panel 12 as a direction instruction screen.

  Arrows 120 and 130 and a reference line 140 are displayed in the direction instruction column 12A. An arrow 120 indicates the direction of the destination (or waypoint) viewed from the current location. That is, the arrow 120 indicates the moving direction of the user. An arrow 130 indicates the shooting direction of the digital camera 1 determined based on the posture information 27 (see FIG. 1), and always points upward in the direction instruction column 12A. A reference line 140 indicates a direction (east, west, north, south) serving as a reference in the direction indication column 12A. On the lower left side of the direction instruction unit 183, the direction indicated by the arrow 120 and the distance from the current location to the target point (destination or waypoint) where the user should arrive next are displayed.

  The display mode switching field 12B is a field for instructing the display of the direction instruction field 12A to be displayed in either the entire display mode or the detailed display mode. In the detailed display mode, only the current location CP and the next target point are displayed. In the direction instruction column 12A shown in FIG. 9, the detailed mode is selected, and only the current location CP and the imaging point 22E that is the first waypoint are displayed. In the detailed display mode, the case where only the destination is displayed is either after passing through all the waypoints or when no waypoint is set. In the whole display mode, the destination and all waypoints are displayed in the direction instruction column 12A.

  When the direction instruction process (step S3) is started, the direction instruction unit 183 monitors the current location information 21 output from the position detection unit 15 in real time to determine whether or not the digital camera 1 has moved. When it is determined that the digital camera 1 has moved, the direction instruction unit 183 determines the shooting point 22E viewed from the digital camera 1 based on the current location information 21 and the position information 21E of the first waypoint (shooting point 22E). The direction (the moving direction of the user) and the distance from the current location to the shooting point 22E are calculated. The direction instruction unit 183 monitors the change in the shooting direction of the digital camera 1 in real time based on the posture information 27 in parallel with the monitoring of the current location information 21.

  The direction instruction unit 183 changes the direction of the arrow 120 indicating the movement direction of the user and the direction of the reference line 140 based on the calculated movement direction of the user and the shooting direction of the digital camera 1. At this time, the direction of the arrow 120 and the reference line 140 changes so that the arrow 130 indicating the shooting direction always points upward in the direction instruction column 12A. That is, the upward direction of the direction instruction column 12A always matches the shooting direction of the digital camera 1. In accordance with the change in the current location information 21, the distance to the first waypoint displayed on the lower left side of the direction indication column 12A and the direction indicating the moving direction are updated.

  When it is determined that the distance between the current location and the first waypoint is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, the direction instruction unit 183 determines that the first place (the shooting point 22E) has been reached. In the direction instruction column 12A, a message indicating that the camera has arrived at the shooting point 22E is displayed. In order to move the user to a second waypoint (shooting point 22D) that should pass next to the first waypoint, the direction indicating unit 183 displays an arrow 120 indicating the direction when the shooting point 22D is viewed from the current location. 12A is newly displayed. Hereinafter, the direction instruction unit 183 repeats the above-described processing until it is determined that the digital camera 1 has arrived at the destination.

  The direction instructing unit 183 may display photographed image data corresponding to the destination or waypoint on the liquid crystal panel 11 in accordance with a user operation during execution of the direction instruction processing (step S3). Thereby, the user can confirm the image of the waypoint or the destination even when moving according to the direction of the arrow 120 displayed in the direction instruction column 12A.

  In this way, the digital camera 1 instructs the direction in which the destination or waypoint is located in the direction instruction processing (step S3). Thereby, it is possible to guide the user to the destination by using a simple process compared to normal navigation using a map or the like.

  The digital camera 1 may have a simple configuration that does not include the posture detection unit 16. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the arrow 130 is not displayed in the direction instruction column 12A. The reference line 140 is displayed so that the north direction is always the upper direction of the liquid crystal panel 12. When the digital camera 1 does not include the posture detection unit 16, the user needs to prepare a compass or the like separately and check the north direction.
