Etc. are set.

<Shooting method>
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a photographing method performed by the photographing device 10 according to a photographing program. When the start of the photographing function is instructed by the user's operation or the like, the photographing device 10 starts the process of FIG.

First, the photographing apparatus 10 displays a photographing screen for photographing a device on the display monitor 141 (step S10). FIG. 5A is a view showing an example of a shooting screen, and as shown in FIG. 5A, the shooting screen has an operation menu 34 and an image display field 35, and the operation menu 34 selects a product name. There are options 31 for shooting, options 32 for selecting a shooting location, and a shooting button 33. The image display section 35 is an area for displaying image information captured by the camera 143, and in the example of FIG. 5A, is made to coincide with the display area 41 of the display monitor 141. Further, in the example of FIG. 5A, the operation menu 34 is displayed at the right end in the image display field 35, and the guide frame 36 is displayed at the center of the image display field 35. Not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 5B, the image display section 35
May be displayed at any position in the display area 41 of the display monitor 141, and the operation menu 34 may be displayed outside the image display field 35. The position and size of the guide frame 36 are calculated in the subsequent step, but in step S10, the position and size are displayed based on the calculation result of the previous process.

Next, when the selection of identification information (product name, shooting location) by the user is received (step S20), it is determined that the selection of identification information is received (step S30, Yes), that is, when it is determined that the identification information is input. In step S40, the position and size of the guide frame 36 are calculated based on the identification information, superimposed on the image information acquired by the camera 143, and displayed on the display monitor 141 (step S40), and the process proceeds to step S50. When it is determined in step S30 that the selection has not been received (No in step S30), the position and size of the guide frame 36 are not newly calculated, and the process proceeds to step S50 with the state displayed in step S10.

  In step S50, it is determined whether or not the shooting button 33 is selected, and if it is determined that the shooting button 33 is not selected (No in step S50), the processing of FIG. If it is determined that it has been selected (Yes at step S50), the image information when the photographing button 33 is selected is stored as a photographed image in the removable storage medium mounted on the memory 13 or drive device 145. . At this time, the imaging device 10 may store information in which the file name of the captured image is associated with the identification information in the memory 13 or may add identification information to the file name of the captured image or the Exif information. Note that the processing in FIG. 4 is periodically and repeatedly performed until an instruction to end the imaging is given.

FIG. 6 is a detailed explanatory view of processing for calculating and displaying the position and size of the guide frame 36 in step S40 of FIG. If it is determined in step S30 of FIG. 4 that the identification information is selected, as shown in FIG. 6, the imaging device 10 reads the size of the device and the size of the adjacent area of the device from the device table (step S120) , Load the shooting range of the camera 143 (
Step S130).

  Next, the imaging device 10 calculates the size of the guide frame 36 based on the size of the device, the size of the adjacent area, and the imaging range (step S140).

For example, the height of the imaging area (the required imaging height) H necessary for placing the device and the adjacent area in the captured image is the height Lh of the device size and the length St of the upper space And the length Sd of the lower space are determined by integration.
H = Lh + St + Sd formula 1

The width of the imaging area (necessary imaging width) W necessary for putting the device and the adjacent area in the captured image is the width Lw of the device size, the length S1 of the left space, and the right space Calculated by integrating the length Sr.
W = Lw + Sl + Sr ··· Formula 2

Then, as shown in Equation 3, the ratio By of the necessary shooting height H to the height of the shooting range (number of pixels in the vertical direction of the image information shot by the camera 143) Py and the width of the shooting range (shot by the camera 143) A ratio Bx of the necessary imaging width W to the number of pixels Px in the horizontal direction of the image information is determined.
By = Py / H, Bx = Px / W Formula 3

When digital zoom is used, the values of height Py of the shooting range and width Px of the shooting range change, so when digital zoom is used, the height Py of the shooting range after zooming and the width of the shooting range Get Px. In addition, when the process of FIG. 6 is started, the digital zoom function may be disabled and the digital zoom may not be used. If the ratio Bx is larger than the ratio By, the conversion coefficient Ay for converting the size [mm] of the device into the size [pixel] on the display monitor 141 is set to the height Py necessary for shooting the height Py of the shooting range Divide by H to obtain.
Ay = Py / H formula 4

The width Gx and the height Gy of the guide frame 36 are obtained by multiplying the width Lw of the device and the height Lh of the device by the conversion coefficient Ay, as shown in Equation 5.
Gx = Ay × Lw, Gy = Ay × Lh formula 5

Then, the lengths Sl, Sr, St, and Sd of the spaces are multiplied by the conversion coefficient Ay to obtain the lengths Rl, Rr, Rt, and Rd on the display monitor of the respective spaces as shown in Equation 6, and the lengths are obtained. The position of the guide frame 36 is determined based on Rl, Rr, Rt, and Rd.
Rl = Ay × S1, Rr = Ay × Sr, Rt = Ay × St, Rd = Ay × Sd ···· Formula 6

On the other hand, if the ratio Bx is smaller than the ratio By, the conversion coefficient Ax for converting the size [mm] of the device to the size [pixel] on the display monitor 141 is used to shoot the width Px of the shooting range Divide by the required width W to obtain.
Ax = Px / W Formula 7

Next, the imaging device 10 obtains the width Gx and the height Gy of the guide frame 36 by multiplying the width Lw of the device and the height Lh of the device respectively by the conversion coefficient Ax as shown in Expression 8.
Gx = Ax × Lw, Gy = Ax × Lh formula 8

Then, the lengths Sl, Sr, St, and Sd of each space are multiplied by the conversion coefficient Ax as shown in Equation 9 to obtain lengths Rl, Rr, Rt, and Rd on the display monitor of each space, and the lengths The position of the guide frame 36 is determined based on Rl, Rr, Rt, and Rd.
Rl = Ax × Sl, Rr = Ax × Sr, Rt = Ax × St, Rd = Ax × Sd ··· Formula 9

  Then, the imaging device 10 superimposes and displays the guide frame 36 of the position and size determined above with the image information captured by the camera 143 (step S150).

  FIG. 7 is a view showing a display example of a shooting screen at the time of shooting. The user adjusts the orientation of the imaging device 10 and the distance between the imaging device 10 and the device so that the outer edge of the device coincides with the guide frame 36 as shown in FIG. 7 and selects the imaging button 33 when they coincide. In the present example, the matching is not limited to the exact matching, but includes the case of proximity within a predetermined range. As a result, when the device is photographed, the surrounding area necessary to verify the failure of the device or the like falls within the photographed image, and the installation situation of the device can be appropriately photographed. Although FIG. 7 shows an example of a frame (guide frame 36) as the guide pattern, the guide pattern has a rectangular hatching or cross as long as the shape and position of the device can be indicated. You may display by arbitrary shapes, such as X character.

The upper space Rt of the adjacent area and the lower space Rd of the adjacent area are calculated by integration. The width Mw of the photographing necessary frame 37 is obtained by integrating the left space R1 of the adjacent area and the right space Rr of the adjacent area with the width Gy of the guide frame as shown in Expression 11.
Mh = Gx + Rt + Rd formula 10

Therefore, the same components as those of the second embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the imaging apparatus of the fourth embodiment, the processor 11 also functions as a foreign matter warning unit in addition to the monitor control unit 111, the identification information acquisition unit 112, and the guide display unit 113 according to the imaging program.

  In FIG. 18, the image capturing process F40 is a function executed by the camera 143, and the foreign object determination function F50 in the adjacent area is a function executed by the foreign object warning unit. The foreign substance determination function F50 in the adjacent area detects an object existing outside the guide frame 36 and inside the imaging necessary frame 37 among the image information acquired by the camera 143 as a foreign substance, and the foreign substance is detected. It is a function to issue a warning in case.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram of a photographing method of the fourth embodiment. The imaging device 10 executes steps S10A to S50 shown in FIG. 19 in the same manner as in FIG. 9 described above, and when it is determined that the imaging button is selected in step S50 (Yes in step S50) Among the pieces of image information, foreign matter is detected outside the guide frame 36 and inside the imaging necessary frame 37 (step S57). FIG. 20 is a view showing a state in which the foreign matter 49 is present in the adjacent region.

Then, the imaging device 10 determines whether or not the foreign matter is detected (step S58), and when it is determined that the foreign matter is not detected (No in step S55), imaging is performed (step S55).
60) If it is determined that a foreign object is detected (step S58, Yes), a warning is output (step S75), and the process of FIG. 19 is ended. In the example of FIG. 19, when the foreign object is detected, the process is ended without recording the captured image, but the present invention is not limited thereto. After issuing a warning in step S75, the process proceeds to step S60 and the captured image is displayed. You may record it. The warning includes, for example, display of a warning message on the display monitor 141, lighting of an indicator (not shown), output of sound and voice by the speaker 142, and transmission of a warning message to another device by the communication module 15. For example, generation of vibration by a vibrator (not shown).

  According to the fourth embodiment, when a foreign object exists around the device to be photographed, the user can notify the user of the presence of the foreign object by outputting a warning, and takes action such as removal of the foreign object to rephotograph. It can prompt you.

  Although the fourth embodiment is the same as the second embodiment except for the configuration including the foreign matter warning unit, the present embodiment is not limited to this and may be the same as the third embodiment, for example. That is, the imaging apparatus 10 may include the deviation warning unit of the third embodiment and the foreign matter warning unit of the fourth embodiment. Further, the detection of the foreign matter does not necessarily have to be performed for all the imaging targets, and if the imaging location is the main body, the foreign matter is detected, and if the terminal is not detected, the foreign matter is not detected. It may be set whether or not to detect.
