The automatic imaging apparatus 1 is used by being worn on the body, and any part may be attached. In particular, the automatic imaging apparatus 1 is preferably mountable using the wearer's head, for example, a spectacle type. Or it is a type of fixing to the ear as shown in FIG. In addition to attaching directly to a part of the body, attaching to the body includes attaching to clothing or decorative items worn on the body.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main components in the appearance of the automatic image pickup apparatus 1 are a pulse sensor 2a, an image pickup means 4, a speaker 9, a mounting means 10 comprising an ear hook 10a and an earpiece 10b, an operation means 11 and the like. is there.

  The pulse sensor 2a is a sensor that can measure a pulse using a part of the wearer's body. In the present embodiment, the pulse sensor 2a measures the pulse using the wearer's earlobe. The earlobe is one of the best places to measure the pulse accurately. As the pulse sensor 2a, for example, infrared rays are used. Irradiate the earlobe with infrared rays and measure the reflected light intensity. The expansion and contraction of the earlobe blood vessel can be regarded as a change in reflected light intensity.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pulse sensor 2a may be provided in the main body of the automatic imaging device 1 or may be provided separately. For example, the pulse sensor may be a clip-shaped sensor that sandwiches the earlobe or the like, and may be connected to the main body of the automatic imaging device 1 by wire or wirelessly.
The place where the pulse sensor is attached may be various parts of the body capable of measuring the pulse, such as the wrist, in addition to the earlobe.

  The imaging unit 4 is a camera that can capture a moving image, and includes a CCD, a CMOS image sensor, and the like. When the automatic image pickup apparatus 1 is worn on the ear, the image pickup means 4 faces the front, so that it is possible to pick up almost the same image as the scenery that the wearer sees in front.

  The speaker 9 emits sound to the wearer's surroundings. Therefore, not only the wearer himself but also a person near the wearer can hear the sound emitted by the speaker.

  The mounting means 10 including the ear hook 10a and the ear piece 10b is for mounting the automatic imaging apparatus 1 on the ear. By inserting the earpiece 10b into the outer ear, the automatic imaging device 1 can be firmly fixed to the ear. As described above, when the automatic image pickup apparatus 1 is worn on the ear, the image pickup unit 4 can face the front and take a picture of the front landscape. Further, the pulse sensor 2a is in contact with the earlobe and can measure the wearer's pulse. The ear hook 10a has a purpose of preventing the automatic image pickup apparatus 1 from dropping when the earpiece 10b is detached from the outer ear.

Next, the operation of the automatic imaging apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the automatic imaging apparatus, and means for executing each function other than those described in FIG. 1 is an electric circuit or software provided inside the automatic imaging apparatus 1. Note that the software and memory are not necessarily provided inside the apparatus main body, and may be provided in a server or the like connected via a network.

  First, the abnormality detection means 2 for detecting an abnormality of the wearer's body will be described. In the abnormality detection means 2, the pulse abnormality determination means 2b analyzes the wearer's pulse data measured by the pulse sensor 2a. From the abnormality of the pulse rate, the magnitude of the change in the pulse rate, etc., something is applied to the wearer's body. It is determined whether or not there is a high possibility that an abnormality has occurred.

  As abnormalities occurring in the wearer's body, not only physical abnormalities such as heart failure but also mental abnormalities can be detected. For example, a change in pulse caused by a big surprise or fear can be determined as abnormal.

  When the abnormality detection means 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the wearer's body, the imaging start means 3 causes the imaging means 4 to start imaging. The video information picked up by the image pickup means 4 is stored in the memory 5, but the image pickup start means 3 may designate the storage location of the video information in the memory 5 by a memory address or the like. Further, the imaging start unit 3 may record the imaging start time in the memory 5.

  Furthermore, the imaging start unit 3 may activate the notification unit 12 that notifies the wearer that imaging has started. The notification means 12 may be a vibrator function that vibrates the automatic imaging device 1 or may sound an alarm from the speaker 9 with a small sound. Alternatively, in addition to the speaker 9, an inner speaker facing the wearer's ear may be provided, and an alarm may be sounded from the inner speaker.

When the abnormality detection unit 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the wearer's body, the image automatic transmission unit 6 is activated and the video information stored in the memory 5 is transmitted using the wireless transmission unit 7. , To a predetermined information terminal 100 or the like. The information terminal 100 to be transmitted is an information terminal registered in advance, and may be one information terminal or a plurality of information terminals.
The information transmitted to the predetermined information terminal 100 using the wireless transmission means 7 may be not only video information but also a voice call, electronic mail, contact via SNS, and the like.
The wireless transmission means 7 transmits information to a wide-area information infrastructure such as the Internet or a mobile phone network, and may be a short-range wireless communication means such as WiFi or Bluetooth (registered trademark), or a portable such as CDMA, HSDPA, or LTE. It may be a telephone communication means or a PHS communication means such as PIAFS.

  Information can be transmitted from the information terminal 100 to the automatic image pickup device 1, and the automatic image pickup device 1 can receive this information by the wireless receiving means 8 and emit sound from the speaker 9. As the voice that can be emitted from the speaker 9, various voices such as a voice of the caller from the information terminal 100 and a predetermined alarm sound can be emitted.

  Further, as information to be transmitted from the information terminal 100 to the automatic imaging apparatus 1, not only the voice related information described above but also information for operating the automatic imaging apparatus 1 can be transmitted. For example, the imaging unit 4 may be zoomed or the imaging direction can be changed.

Note that the automatic image transmission means 6 may include a transmission delay means 6a and a transmission stop means 6b.
The transmission delay unit 6a wirelessly transmits the captured video information after a predetermined delay time after the abnormality detection unit 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the body, or after imaging is started based on the abnormality. The means 7 is made to transmit to the predetermined information terminal 100. The delay time is, for example, about 10 seconds to 1 minute. Further, the delay time may be changed using the operation means 11 or the like.
The transmission stop unit 6b stops transmission of video information within the predetermined delay time, and can stop transmission of video information using the operation unit 11 or the like within the delay time.

<Application example of the present invention>
In recent years, portable information terminals such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet PCs are widely used, and are used not only for calls but also for various purposes. The present invention provides an automatic imaging apparatus that can be used in various situations by making full use of technologies used in portable information terminals and information infrastructure such as mobile phone lines and the Internet.
Below, the usage example of this invention is demonstrated for every scene.

Use case 1 (for crime prevention purposes)
In recent years, the sophistication and diversification of crimes has increased, and the demand for protecting themselves from crimes has increased. This automatic imaging apparatus has a remarkable effect for the purpose of crime prevention of protecting the wearer from crime. When a large change or the like occurs in the pulse, moving image shooting is instantly started by the automatic imaging apparatus, and an image is transmitted to a registered remote person in real time. For example, if the wearer is involved in a crime or encounters an accident, the pulse changes due to surprise or fear, and the image that the wearer sees is displayed in real time on the registered remote person. Sent by.
In such an unforeseen emergency, it is often impossible to contact the police, hospitals, parents, acquaintances, etc. due to upset or injuries. Alternatively, if a violent person is attacked, it is impossible to make a telephone call or email in front of the violent person. Therefore, by automatically transmitting the image that the wearer is seeing to the registrant with this automatic imaging device, the registrant can accurately know the situation of the wearer, and an appropriate response can be instantly performed. It can be carried out.

In particular, since the automatic imaging apparatus is provided with a speaker, it is possible to give instructions to the wearer and ask for help from the surroundings. In addition, when the wearer is about to be attacked by a thief, it is possible to give a strong warning to the thief and to prevent crime. For criminals, it is totally unexpected that they are seen by others, and they can trick criminals into further acts and prevent violent crime.
The transmitted video can also be used as a clue to arresting the criminal or as evidence of the crime.

  In addition, erroneous transmission can be prevented by providing a transmission delay unit and a transmission stop unit in the automatic image transmission unit. For example, the abnormality detection means may determine that an abnormality has occurred in the wearer's body even when the wearer is likely to miss the train and runs at full power. Alternatively, even when surprised by a close friend, the abnormality detection means may determine that an abnormality has occurred in the wearer's body. Even in such a case, if the video is transmitted to the registration destination, the registration destination feels extra anxiety. There is also a concern that if erroneous transmission continues many times, it will be erroneous transmission again, and monitoring of the registration destination will be sweetened. In addition, transmission of a video that does not need to be transmitted is problematic from the viewpoint of the wearer's privacy.

Therefore, by providing a means for the wearer himself to stop the transmission before the video is transmitted, the erroneous transmission as described above can be prevented.
For security purposes, it is indispensable to always keep the automatic transmission function on. Therefore, it is particularly important for security purposes that the wearer himself provide a means for stopping transmission.

Use example 2 (for crime prevention purposes)
It is also very effective for foreign travelers to wear this automatic imaging device. In unknown places, it is often involved in crime, and in an unfamiliar environment, you may suddenly lose physical condition or suffer from a sudden illness. Can respond to unexpected situations. Therefore, you can enjoy travel without anxiety. For example, it is effective for a travel agency to hand over the automatic imaging device when entering the country or to lend it at a local tourist information center. If you have the ability to receive calls and listen to music, you can wear it and use it regularly. It can also be expected as a new means of profit for travel agencies and security companies, or as an appeal to local tourist destinations.

Use example 3 (crime prevention purpose)
Most child bullying does not surface until the final stage. The person who is bullied cannot ask for help from an adult, and there have been many occurrences in the past such as being unable to believe or responding to courageous consultations. Often the surface comes after the worst. Therefore, by allowing the child to wear this automatic imaging device, the parent or teacher can grasp the actual state of bullying at an early stage and take effective measures. It can solve the problem before leaving a deep wound that is difficult to heal in the child's heart.

Use Case 4 (for crime prevention purposes)
Small children may get lost somewhere when their parents take their eyes off and get lost. When the child becomes anxious and the pulse changes, the situation and location of the child can be confirmed by sending an image to the parent's smartphone. In addition, you can feel at ease and calm by talking to your child through the speaker. Or you can ask the people around your child to protect them. If the GPS function is further provided, the position where the child is located can be determined, and the child can be quickly reached.

Example 5 (for crime prevention purposes)
In recent years, an increasing number of parents leave their children in a babysitter or go to work. At the same time, incidents of abuse from babysitters to children are increasing. In some cases, parents have cameras in their rooms to check the status of their children. However, there have also been cases of camera blind spots and abuse. Therefore, by having the child wear this automatic imaging device, if abused, the image will immediately reach the parents due to changes in the pulse, a deterrent effect will work, and the parents will go out and work with peace of mind. Can do.
In addition, not only children but also assault cases by helpers to elderly people can be dealt with in the same way.

Use example 6 (for medical assistance in an emergency)
When the condition changes suddenly due to an accident or sudden illness, the imaging device is activated due to a change in pulse, and is transmitted to a doctor who has registered a moving image, a nearby hospital, or the like. By transmitting the image, a doctor or the like can instantly know what kind of situation the wearer is in, so that appropriate advice can be given to the wearer through the speaker. Alternatively, assistance can be sought from people around the wearer. Then, it is possible to quickly implement appropriate additional measures such as confirming the subsequent situation by an image and further arranging an ambulance.

Use Case 7 (Purpose of disaster prevention and support in the workplace)
It is possible to protect people who work in harsh environments such as closed dangerous places such as underground pits and tunnels, and work in hot summer.
For example, regarding a sudden illness such as oxygen deficiency or heat stroke, the remote administrator can read the change in physical condition from the change in pulse before feeling the subjective symptoms and immediately send an image to the remote administrator. It is possible to immediately grasp the situation and give an accurate instruction such as a break, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of an occupational accident.

Also, by sending video to the remote manager during work, the remote manager sends appropriate instructions while watching the video to workers who are unfamiliar with the work. Education can also be conducted. Even if there are multiple workers, the support can be made known to everyone using speakers.
In this way, it can be used for multiple purposes such as responding to emergency situations such as occupational accidents and facilitating normal work.

Use Case 8 (Human Resource Development Purpose)
Newcomers who have just joined the company or employees who are working for the first time often cannot work well due to tension. Therefore, when the business is performed with the automatic imaging apparatus mounted, and the pulse changes due to tension, an image can reach the boss at a remote location and an accurate instruction can be received from the boss. In addition, it is possible to verify what kind of work or condition you feel nervous or anxious later by sending an image after the pulse change, and in customer service etc., also check a series of flow lines etc. , Can be used for employee education and future work improvement.

Usage example 9 (drive recorder)
In recent years, contact accidents between bicycles and pedestrians have become a major social problem. Even if an adult encounters an accident, it is easy to explain the situation at that time, but children cannot explain it enough. If this automatic imaging device is worn, the pulse changes at the moment of an accident or when it is detected as dangerous, and imaging is started and transmitted to the registered partner. Not only can you prove who is responsible for the accident, you can also make ambulance and police arrangements quickly with the call function.
It can be used not only for drive recorders for motorcycles and bicycles but also for automobiles.

Use example 10 (purpose of technical improvement in sports)
When you're playing sports, you may get nervous at the best time and fail without moving as you want. It is not easy to remember exactly when you were nervous, even if you later recall that time. If sports are performed with the automatic image pickup device attached, when a pulse changes due to tension, imaging is automatically started and an image is transmitted to the instructor. By sending images taken at the same position as the competitor's line of sight, the athlete's skill can be improved by receiving appropriate instructions and guidance from the leader. Later, you can review the image with the same line of sight as you and review your skills.

Example 11 (for sharing impressions with friends)
When seeing or experiencing a wonderful landscape on a trip, you may forget to take pictures of the scenery and regret it later. When a person is moved, the pulse changes. Shooting starts automatically as the pulse changes, allowing you to enjoy the wonderful scenery with the naked eye and at the same time. In addition, you can enjoy this excitement by sharing it with a remote friend at the same time.

  In addition, the same way of use is also possible in a bodily attraction such as skydiving. After taking off the plane, the altitude gradually increases, the moment of diving approaches, recording starts as the pulse changes, and captured images are transmitted in real time to friends at remote locations. If you have a call function, you can talk, all the feeling of tension to fly, the fear of dive falling and the presence, the impression while watching the magnificent scenery after the parachute opens , You can share the experience with friends in remote locations. By wearing this device near the line of sight, a person who is not experienced through the device can feel as if he / she is experiencing it.

<Features of the present invention>
As described above, the automatic imaging apparatus according to the present invention can be used for various purposes and scenes including a crime prevention purpose. As a result, as described above, the greatest feature is that it can cope with many important social needs.

  Moreover, the automatic imaging apparatus according to the present invention has mounting means, and can be mounted using the head of the wearer. For example, the eyeglass type, the goggle type, or the type fixed to the ear as shown in FIG. The merit of using the wearer's head is that the pulse can be easily measured using the earlobe. The earlobe is a part of a human body that can measure a pulse with particularly high sensitivity.

The automatic imaging apparatus can be attached to the body using a part other than the head. If a signal is received wirelessly from a pulse sensor attached to the earlobe, there is no particular problem in wearing.
However, it is necessary to always drive the pulse sensor, and always performing wireless transmission with the main body is not preferable from the viewpoint of power consumption.

  Another advantage of using the wearer's head is that the imaging means can be provided at approximately the same height as the wearer's eye, and imaging can be performed with the wearer's eyes.

Of the eyeglass type, the goggle type, and the type that is fixed to the ear, the type that is fixed to the ear is particularly suitable for the present invention.
In the spectacles type and the goggles type, if an imaging device or a speaker is incorporated, the thickness is inevitably increased or the shape is increased. Therefore, the appearance becomes conspicuous or a sense of incongruity occurs. Therefore, it is not suitable for regular wearing because it feels embarrassed that it is usually worn, and interferes with life.
In addition, a person using glasses due to myopia or the like has to wear it twice, which makes the wearing feeling more difficult.

  On the other hand, the type that is fixed to the ear does not cause much problem in the wearing feeling and appearance. In particular, in recent years, it has become common to wear earphone microphones and one-ear type headphones, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable when wearing them, and they do not feel discomfort from other people. Alternatively, a person who uses glasses for myopia can be worn without difficulty.

  Another problem is that glasses and goggles are difficult to remove from the wearer immediately. If an accident occurs at the construction site, the wearer is severely injured, and the injured local area cannot be copied by the camera, or if the person faints, the surrounding colleagues use the automatic imaging device to Needs to be copied by a camera and sent to a remote location for instructions. In such an emergency, the ear-fixed type that is easy to remove from the wearer is most effective.

  In addition, in the construction site and other workplaces described above, a plurality of persons may use the automatic image pickup apparatus alternately. Since the width of the skeleton of the face varies considerably from person to person, the eyeglass type and goggles type may break if worn forcibly or cause a strong discomfort in the wearing feeling. On the other hand, if it is a type that is fixed to the ear, even if a third party wears it, there is no big difference in the inner ear size, and the inner ear is a horn type, so even if the size is slightly different, it is somewhat loose. You can use it without any trouble.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the pulse abnormality determination means 2b analyzes the wearer's pulse data measured by the pulse sensor 2a, and the wearer's body is not subject to any abnormality in the pulse rate, the magnitude of the change in the pulse rate, or the like. A determination was made as to whether or not there is a high probability that an abnormality has occurred. However, as described above, there is a possibility of so-called erroneous transmission in which video is transmitted even when it should not be transmitted. In order to prevent erroneous transmission, the image transmission unit 6 is provided with a transmission delay unit 6a and a transmission stop unit 6b.

  The automatic imaging apparatus 1a according to the present embodiment is different from the automatic imaging apparatus 1 according to the embodiment in that, as shown in FIG. 3, the automatic image transmission means 6Y includes transmission delay means 6a and transmission stop means 6b. Instead of this, it is provided with video analysis means 6c for analyzing video information captured by the imaging means 4 together with the transmission delay means 6a and the transmission stop means 6b.

  As described in the first embodiment, when the abnormality detection unit 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the wearer's body, the imaging start unit 3 is activated, and the imaging unit 4 is in the eye of the wearer. Image the surroundings. By using this video information, erroneous transmission can be suppressed.

For example, when a wearer is attacked by a thief, the state of the thief is imaged. It is determined by image processing whether or not the state of the thug is dangerous, and when it is determined that it is dangerous, an image is transmitted.
Alternatively, when the wearer is attacked by a thief, the wearer moves violently, so that the image captured by the imaging means 4 shakes violently. Abnormality is judged from the intensity of this movement.

  Further, when the wearer loses consciousness due to a heart attack or the like, the video imaged by the imaging means 4 remains stationary. When the stationary time exceeds a predetermined time, for example, when it exceeds 30 seconds, it is determined that there is an abnormality and the video is transmitted.

  As described above, erroneous transmission can be suppressed by determining not only the wearer's pulse data measured by the pulse sensor 2a but also analysis of video information captured by the imaging means 4. That is, the automatic image transmission means 6Y has the video analysis means 6c for analyzing the video information captured by the imaging means 3, and the captured video information is predetermined by the wireless transmission means 7 based on the analysis result of the video analysis means. By transmitting to the information terminal, erroneous transmission can be suppressed.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the captured video information is transmitted to the information terminal 100. However, in the automatic imaging device 1b according to the present embodiment, not only the video information but also the information terminal 100 or another information terminal. A notification can be automatically transmitted to 200.

  Here, the notification is a function of transmitting information to the information terminal and generating a voice alarm sound from the information terminal or vibrating the information terminal so as to notify the receiver that the information has been transmitted. To drive. For example, if the information terminal is a fixed telephone, the information to be transmitted is a voice call, and prompts the recipient to make a voice call by ringing the fixed telephone. In addition, if the information terminal is a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone or a smartphone, in addition to the above voice call, text information and graphic information are transmitted via e-mail and SNS, and at the same time, an alarm and a standby screen are displayed. It is to drive a notification function such as display. Alternatively, if the information terminal is a PC, text information and graphic information are transmitted via e-mail and SNS, and at the same time, a notification function such as an alarm and display on a standby screen is driven.

  In the automatic imaging apparatus 1b according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the automatic image transmission unit 6Z further includes a notification automatic transmission unit 6d. The notification automatic transmission unit 6d includes a notification transmission delay unit 6e, and can delay the notification independently of the transmission delay unit 6a that delays video information.

  Therefore, after the abnormality detection unit 2 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the body, the captured video information is transmitted to the predetermined information terminal 100 by the wireless transmission unit 7 after a predetermined delay time determined by the transmission delay unit 6a. In addition, the automatic notification transmission unit 6d can transmit the predetermined information terminal 200 through a predetermined delay time determined by the notification transmission delay unit 6e.

The video transmission delay time by the transmission delay means 6a and the notification transmission delay time by the notification transmission delay means 6e can be set independently.
In addition, the information terminal 100 and the information terminal 200 may be different information terminals or the same information terminal. The information terminal 200 is preferably a portable information terminal that allows the receiver to immediately notice the transmitted notification.

  As described above, by further providing the notification automatic transmission unit 6d, it is possible to reliably notify the person who should be informed that the video information has been transmitted. Moreover, the timing to notify can be set to a timing different from the time when video information starts to be transmitted.

  When the automatic imaging apparatus 1c is used for the purpose of placing utmost importance on the urgency such as the purpose of crime prevention, medical assistance in an emergency, and disaster response in the workplace, the timing is earlier than the time when video information is started to be transmitted. It is better to send notifications at. The information to be notified is, for example, a content that informs the receiver of the possibility of video information transmission, such as “There is a possibility of transmitting an emergency video within one minute from now on.

In this way, by receiving the notification prior to the video information, the receiver prepares to view the video, and when a problem occurs, an appropriate measure can be quickly executed.
As described in the first embodiment, when the wearer wants to stop the transmission of the video, the video transmission can be stopped by the transmission stop means 6b. This eliminates the need to send video information that does not need to be sent, or protects the wearer's privacy.

When the wearer stops video transmission by the transmission stop means 6b, notification information such as “No video transmission. No problem has occurred. May be sent to reassure the recipient.
In addition, when the wearer stops the video transmission by the transmission stop unit 6b before transmitting the notification information, the first notification is not transmitted. As a result, it is possible to avoid unnecessary anxiety for the recipient.

  On the other hand, when the automatic imaging apparatus 1b is used for the purpose of not requiring urgency such as the purpose of technical improvement in sports, it is better to send the notification at a timing delayed from the time when the video information starts to be sent. There is. For example, when the instructor sees the situation practiced by the wearer, notification may be made after a certain amount of video transmission or after all video transmissions. The information to be notified is, for example, a content that informs the receiver that video information transmission has been completed, such as “I have transmitted a practice video.

  In this way, when the receiver is notified later than the video information, the receiver can check only the necessary part of the video information that has already been transmitted, or use the fast-forward function or rewind function. Thus, the video can be viewed efficiently.

  Alternatively, there is a case where it is better to delay the notification than the transmission of the video information for the use of the surveillance purpose performed by the police or the detective. For example, when monitoring a person's behavior, when that person appears and causes suspicious behavior, the tension of the supervisor increases and abnormalities occur in the pulse of the supervisor. Imaging of the person's action is automatically started. Since the imaging is started without performing the imaging start operation, it is not necessary to detect that the person is the supervisor. The captured video information is automatically transmitted to the registered information terminal. Thereby, the action of the person remains in the information terminal as a video and can be used later as evidence or the like. At this time, if the person who wants to see the video is notified immediately, the person contacts the supervisor's mobile phone or the like, or a sound is emitted through the speaker of the automatic imaging device, and there is a supervisor.
