After displaying the message in step S208, if there is no input indicating that the profile image will be captured later (step S209; No), the process proceeds to step S101 in FIG.

Returning to the description of FIG. After completing the photographing/editing process in step S101 and the determination process in step S102, the control unit 201 (grouping unit 11) groups the images photographed in step S101 for each subject 7 (step S103). In step S103, the control unit 201 (grouping unit 11) searches the images stored in the storage unit 202 for an image of the face of the same person as the subject 7. Give a group ID. If there is no face image of the same person, a new group ID is issued and attached to the image taken in step S101.

If there is a profile image in the grouped images, the control unit 201 (grouping unit 11) of the photographing device 2 selects the profile image as a representative image (step S104).

The control unit 201 (tagging unit 15) of the photographing device 2 receives a user's operation to tag an image (step S105). A tag is a hash tag that can be used in SNS, and is written with a "#" attached to a keyword such as genre, work name, character name, gender, or the like. In step S105, the control unit 201 of the photographing device 2 may display a message on the display unit 21 prompting attachment of a tag. At this time, it is desirable to display a plurality of tags registered in advance so that the user can select one.

The control unit 201 of the imaging device 2 stores the captured image in the storage unit 202 (step S106). Specifically, the control unit 201 links the group ID in step S103 and the tag input in step S105 to the image captured in step S101 and registers them as captured image data 221 in the storage unit 202 . Also, if there is profile information entered as text in step S207 (FIG. 7) of the determination process in step S102, the entered profile information is also linked to the image taken in step S101 and registered as captured image data 221.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of the photographed image data 221 stored in the storage unit 202 of the photographing apparatus 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, profile information 221c, group ID 221d, tag information 221e, etc. are stored in association with the captured image 221b. A photographing ID 221a, which is information for identifying each image, is issued and attached to the photographed image 221b at the time of photographing. In the example of FIG. 8, information of "representative image" is stored as the profile information 221c for the photographed image 221b "a0001.jpg" having the photographing ID 221a of "0001". This indicates that the captured image 221b "a0001.jpg" is the profile image. Also, the captured image 221b "a0001.jpg" is given a group ID 221d "aaabb", and a tag 221e "#○○ (animation name), #△△ (character name), #for men" is given as tag information. It is Also, the photographed image 221b "a0002.jpg" whose photographing ID 221a is "0002" and the photographed image 221b "a0003.jpg" whose photographing ID 221a is "0003" are the photographed image 221b "a0001.jpg" whose photographing ID 221a is "0001". The same group ID 221d "aaabb" is associated with and stored. That is, the images with the photographing IDs 221a “0001”, “0002”, and “0003” are grouped as images of the same subject 7 .

Returning to the description of FIG.
The control unit 201 of the imaging device 2 generates image display data based on the captured image data 221 and causes the display device 3 to display the data. That is, the control unit 201 generates display data in which images are laid out so that images with the same group ID are displayed in the same display area. The display control unit 16 of the display device 3 receives and displays the display data transmitted from the imaging device 2 . Images of event participants are displayed on the display device 3 in association with profile information (profile images). That is, in a state in which the photographed images are grouped for each subject 7, a profile image or a synthesized image obtained by synthesizing the profile information and the photographed image is displayed as a representative image (step S108).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example in which images of event participants are displayed in association with profile information. The display screen of the display device 3 is divided into four display areas 341, 342, 343, and 344. In the display area 341, an image of the group ID "aaabb" (see FIG. 8) is displayed, and in the display area 342 , an image of the group ID “cccdd” (see FIG. 8) is displayed. Thus, images of the same subject 7 (images of the same group ID 221d) are displayed in the same display area. Also, the display device 3 always displays a profile image (or a synthesized image obtained by synthesizing profile information and a photographed image) as a representative image. As a result, the image of the event participant is displayed in association with the profile information. When there is an image 281 newly photographed by the photographing device 2, the image is analyzed by the photographing device 2, grouped for each subject 7, and additionally displayed in the display area where the same subject 7 is displayed. Note that the number of display areas is not limited to four, and may be any number. Also, if one screen is not enough for the display area, it is desirable to scroll the screen so that other display areas are displayed.

In addition, the notation of "map" displayed in the display area 344 in FIG. 9 is a button that is touch-operated when shifting to map display. Map display will be described later.

FIG. 10 is another display example on the display device 3. In FIG. For example, when a tag search is performed, images of a plurality of subjects 7 assigned the same tag may be displayed side by side on the display device 3 as shown in FIG. In this case as well, it is desirable to divide the display area for each subject 7 and display them. The subject 7 in the display area 341 and the subject 7 in the display area 342 are different persons, but both have images tagged with "#vtuber". At the stage when the subjects 7 are grouped and displayed as shown in FIG. 10, a new image 282 of another subject 7 is captured, and the image 282 is given tags such as "#for men" and "#vtuber". If so, a new image 282 is additionally displayed in the display area 343 of the display device 3 .

As shown in FIG. 10, in order to extract images to which the same tag is added and display them on the display device 3, the control unit 31 of the display device 3 displays a search screen for tag search on the display screen. It is provided in a part (for example, the display area 344) and accepts input of a search tag by a user (for example, a photographer). When a tag to be searched is entered on the search screen, the control section 31 of the display device 3 transmits the entered search tag to the photographing device 2 . The photographing device 2 extracts the images to which the corresponding tags are assigned from the photographed image data 221 stored in the storage unit 202, and generates display data for grouping and displaying the images on the display screen for each subject 7. It is transmitted to the display device 3 and displayed. By enabling tag searches in this way, it becomes possible to search for a specific cosplayer by genre, work name, character name, or the like.

Next, map display will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG.
The map display is a function of registering and displaying the locations of event participants (subjects, photographers) in the map of the event venue. An event participant can inform other event participants of his or her location by displaying it in the event site map.

In order to realize the map display function, the imaging device 2 and the display device 3 have the functional configuration shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the photographing device 2 includes a photographing unit 23, a grouping unit 11, a profile information acquisition unit 12, a determination unit 13, a message display unit 14, a tag addition unit 15, a display unit 21, an input unit 22, and a storage unit. A part 202 is provided. The grouping unit 11 , the profile information acquisition unit 12 , the determination unit 13 , the message display unit 14 , and the tag addition unit 15 described above are functional units realized by the control unit 201 of the control device 20 of the imaging device 2 .

The venue map display control unit 312 displays the venue map acquired by the venue map acquisition unit 311 on the display unit 34 . In the example shown in FIG. 11, a venue map 351 showing the first floor of the event venue and a venue map 352 showing the second floor are displayed as event venue maps. On the display screen on which the venue maps 351 and 352 are thus displayed, the display device 3 accepts input of positions in the venue maps 351 and 352 by the event participants (place registration). For example, a position is input by a touch operation on the touch panel (operation unit 35) of the display unit 34 of the display device 3 (position input unit 314). Then, the control unit 31 (venue map display control unit 312) displays the mark 71 of the event participant at the touched position in the displayed venue maps 351 and 352. FIG. In this way, after the event participants register their whereabouts on the venue map displayed on the display device 3, they go to the registered positions and wait.

On the other hand, when the mark 71 displayed on the hall map 351 is touched by the instruction input unit 351 , the control unit 31 (image display unit 313 ) of the display device 3 displays the event participation linked to the touched mark 71 . The image of the person is read out from the storage unit 32 and displayed on the display unit 34 . In the example of FIG. 11, when the mark 71 is touched, images 283 and 284 of event participants associated with the mark 71 are displayed on the display screen. It is assumed that the mark 71 of the event participant and the image (group ID) are linked, for example, when the image is captured (step S101 in FIG. 6) or grouping is performed (step S103 in FIG. 6).

In FIG. 11 , marks 72 and 73 are marks indicating the locations of event participants different from the event participant of mark 71 . For example, when an event participant touches the mark 72 , an image of the event participant registered in association with the mark 72 is displayed on the display unit 34 . In this way, by displaying a map, it is possible to indicate the locations (marks 72 and 73) of the event participants in the event venue diagrams (venue diagrams 351 and 352). be able to find someone. In addition, when displaying the images of the event participants, the profile images are displayed as representative images, so that the contact information of the subject person can be confirmed and exchanges can be made.

Next, processing executed by the image capturing device 2, display device 3 (user terminal 4), and server 5 in the display system 1A of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 19. FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the display system 1A, and FIG. 18 is a flowchart explaining the flow of determination processing in step S305. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example on the user terminal 4. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 17, the photographing apparatus 2 first performs photographing/editing processing (step S301). As in the first embodiment, in the photographing/editing process, the photographing device 2 performs the photographing process with event participants as subjects. The photographing apparatus 2 advances photographing processing while displaying an operation screen for performing interactive operations on the display unit 21 . In the shooting process, selection of shooting design (vertical design, horizontal design, frame composition, etc.), selection of filters to be applied to the image, and image editing and processing may be accepted.

When the photographing/editing process of step S301 ends, the control unit 201 (tagging unit 15) of the photographing apparatus 2 receives an operation of tagging an image by the user (step S302). The control device 20 of the imaging device 2 displays a message prompting tagging on the display section 21 . At this time, it is desirable to display a plurality of tags registered in advance so that the user can select one.

The imaging device 2 transmits the image captured in step S301 and the tag information added in step S302 to the server 5 (step S303).

When the server 5 receives the captured image and the tag information from the imaging device 2 (step S304), the control unit 51 (determination unit 13) of the server 5 performs determination processing on the received captured image (step S305).

The determination processing in step S305 will be described with reference to FIG.
The control unit 51 (determining unit 13) of the server 5 analyzes the received photographed image and determines whether or not the photographed image of the subject 7 is the first image, that is, the subject 7 that has not been photographed in the past. Determine (step S401). If there is no image of the same face (subject) as the object 7 among the images stored in the storage unit 52 of the server 5 and it is determined that the image is the first image (step S401; Yes), the control unit 51 (Determination unit 13) determines whether or not the sketchbook (profile information 8) is included in the received photographed image. If the received photographed image includes a sketchbook (profile information 8) (step S402; Yes), the received photographed image is acquired as the profile information 8 (profile image), the determination processing is terminated, and the processing shown in FIG. to step S306.

If it is determined in step S401 that the image stored in the storage unit 52 includes an image of the same face as the subject 7 and is not the first image (step S401; No), the control unit of the server 5 51 (determining unit 13) determines whether or not there is a profile image in the previously captured images (received images) (step S404). The control unit 51 (determining unit 13 ) determines whether or not there is a profile image of the subject 7 among the images of the same subject 7 stored in the storage unit 52 . If there is a profile image in the previously captured images (received images) (step S404; Yes), the determination process ends.

If it is determined in step S402 that the sketchbook (profile information 8) is not included in the received captured image (step S402; No), and if it is determined in step S404 that the previously captured image (received ) (step S404; No), the process proceeds to step S405.

In step S<b>405 , the control unit 51 (message display unit 14 ) transmits a message to the photographing device 2 asking whether the event participant, who is the subject 7 , has a sketchbook. display (step S405). If the event participant who is the subject 7 answers that he/she does not have a sketchbook (step S405; does not have one), the control unit 51 (message display unit 14, transmission unit 532) sends a message to input the text of the profile. It is transmitted to the photographing device 2 (step S406). The receiving unit 2031 of the imaging device 2 receives the message from the server 5 and displays it on the display unit 21 (steps S407 and 408). The control unit 201 of the imaging device 2 displays an input form for inputting a profile on the display unit 21, and accepts the input of the profile (step S409). When the profile is entered, the entered profile is transmitted to the server 5 (step S410). The server 5 receives the profile from the imaging device 2 (step S411), associates the acquired profile information with the captured image (the received image), and ends the determination processing in FIG. As in the first embodiment, linking the profile information with the captured image means generating a composite image by synthesizing the text-inputted profile into the captured image, or generating a composite image attached to the vicinity of the captured image. It is to do.

In step S405, if the event participant who is the subject 7 answers that they have a sketchbook (step S405; A message is sent to the photographing device 2 to photograph together with the book (profile information 8) (step S412). The imaging device 2 receives the message from the server 5 and displays it on the display unit 21 (steps S413 and 414). At this time, in the photographing device 2, if the event participant, who is the subject 7, has input a reply to the effect that the profile image will be photographed later, and the answer is transmitted to the server 5 (step S415; Yes), the profile image will be photographed. is not performed, and the determination processing in FIG. 18 is terminated.

After displaying the message in step S412, if there is no input indicating that the profile image will be captured later (step S415; No), the process proceeds to step S301 in FIG.

Returning to the description of FIG. When the determination process of step S305 is completed, the control unit 51 (grouping unit 11) of the server 5 groups the received captured images for each subject 7 (step S306). The control unit 51 of the server 5 searches for images of the face (subject) of the same person as the subject 7 from the images accumulated and stored in the storage unit 52, and assigns the same group ID to the received photographed image. . If there is no face image of the same person, a new group ID is issued and attached to the received photographed image.

The control unit 51 (grouping unit 11) of the server 5 selects a profile image as a representative image from among the grouped images (step S307).

The control unit 51 of the server 5 stores the captured image in the storage unit 202 (step S308). Specifically, the control unit 51 associates the captured image received from the imaging device 2 with the received tag information and registers the captured image data 221 in the storage unit 52 . Also, if there is profile information input in step S409 (FIG. 18) of the determination processing in step S305, the input profile information is also linked with the received captured image and stored in the storage unit 52 as captured image data 221. . The group ID obtained in step S306 is also linked to the received captured image and stored as captured image data 221 (step S308).

The data configuration of the captured image data 221 stored in the storage unit 52 of the server 5 is the same as the captured image data 221 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, profile information 221c, group ID 221d, and tag information 221e are stored in association with the captured image 221b. A photographing ID 221a, which is information for identifying each image, is issued and attached to the photographed image 221b at the time of photographing. The profile information 221c stores information indicating that it is a "representative image" when the photographed image 221b is a profile image, and stores the profile information when the profile information is entered as text.

Returning to the description of FIG.
The control unit 51 of the server 5 generates image display data based on the captured image data 221 stored in the storage unit 52, and transmits the image display data to the display device 3 for display (step S309). That is, the control unit 51 generates display data in which images are laid out so that images with the same group ID are displayed in the same display area. The display control unit 16 of the display device 3 receives and displays the display data transmitted from the imaging device 2 (steps S310 and S311).

On the display device 3, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, images of event participants are displayed in association with profile information. Also, the photographed images are displayed in a state in which they are grouped for each subject 7 . Also in the second embodiment, the profile image, which is the representative image, is always displayed.

In step S<b>309 , the server 5 may transmit display data to the user terminal 4 . For example, when the user terminal 4 requests viewing of a captured image, the server 5 transmits display data generated based on the captured image data 221 stored in the storage unit 52 to the requesting user terminal 4 .

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example of a captured image on the user terminal 4. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 19, for example, when a tag “#Vtuber” is entered in the search word input field 441 by the tag search function, the control unit 41 of the user terminal 4 searches for images tagged with the “#Vtuber” tag. is requested from the server 5. The server 5 extracts the image with the “#Vtuber” tag attached from the storage unit 52 and transmits it to the user terminal 4 . The user terminal 4 receives the images tagged with the “#Vtuber” tag from the server 5, and displays them in separate screens for each subject 7. FIG. For example, the display screen 442 collectively displays images of a certain subject 7 (for example, group ID "aaabb"). When the screen is slid to display another screen, images of another subject 7 (for example, group ID "cccdd") are collectively displayed. An “account” button 443 displayed at the bottom of the screen is a button operated when the account information of the user terminal 4 is displayed. A “MAP” button 444 is operated when switching to the map display function.

According to the display system 1 of the second embodiment, images captured by a plurality of imaging devices 2 are uploaded to the server 5 and stored in the storage unit 52 of the server 5 as captured image data 221 . Then, the server 5 transmits the photographed image data 221 to each display device 3 and the user terminal 4 for display. As a result, the images captured by the imaging devices 2 installed at remote locations are updated and displayed on the display devices 3 in real time. Since a plurality of photographing devices 2 and display devices 3 can be installed, it is easy to use when an event is held in a large hall. In addition, since the user terminal 4 of the event participant can be used as the display device 3, the event participant can know how the other event participants are doing without going to the display device 3.

FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the action flow of the event participants (the subject 7 and the cameraman) when the display system 1A of the second embodiment is used in the photography event. The photographing devices 2 are arranged at the reception of the venue and at a plurality of photographing locations. Further, a plurality of display devices 3 are arranged at the reception of the venue or at arbitrary places within the venue.

An event participant (cosplayer), who is a subject, takes a photograph with the photographing device 2 at the reception. At this time, it is desirable to take a profile picture (“1” in FIG. 20). If the profile image cannot be taken because the user does not have a sketchbook, etc., the profile information is text-inputted to the photographing device 2 and linked to the photographed image (the profile image is created). A photographed image (one or more images including a profile image) is displayed on a plurality of display devices 3 installed in various places (“2” in FIG. 20). Thereafter, the event participant, who is the subject 7, changes into costumes in the changing room, searches for a shooting location, and prepares for shooting (the changing of clothes in the changing room may be done before the shooting of "1" in FIG. 17). In preparation for photographing, the event participant (subject 7) uses SNS on his/her smart phone to call friends and photographers (event participants) who will take pictures.

On the other hand, an event participant who is a photographer registers as a photographer at the reception. Also, the information (image and profile information) of the subject 7 is obtained by looking at the display device 3 installed at the reception. The contents displayed on the display device 3 can also be printed out (“3” in FIG. 20). The photographer searches for a subject 7 (event participant) to be photographed based on the profile image or the like displayed on the display device 3 . At this time, the photographer may contact the SNS account disclosed as the profile information of the subject 7 (event participant). In this way, each event participant can refer to the profile image of the subject 7 (event participant) and easily interact through the SNS. By keeping in touch with each other through SNS, the photographer can easily meet the desired subject 7 (event participant) and take a photograph (photographing with the cameraman's camera) ("4" in FIG. 20).

When the event participant takes a picture again with the photographing device 2 installed in the vicinity of the photographing place (photographing with the photographing device 2), it is associated with the previously photographed image by the grouping function ("5" in FIG. 20). Each display device 3 additionally displays a newly captured image. The subject 7 (event participant) and the photographer (event participant) can exchange contact information. Even if the contact information exchanged at this time is insufficient, the person's profile information (SNS account, etc.) can be obtained by checking the profile image on the display device 3 .

After that, the event participants will withdraw the venue and disperse. Event participants will be able to keep in touch through SNS even after the dissolution, and it is also possible to exchange photos and consult about shooting at future events.

It is desirable that the images stored in the server 5 can be viewed or downloaded from the user terminals 4 of the event participants at a later date. Event participants can also create a photo book 9 using the photographed image data 221 stored in the server 5 .

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the photobook 9. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 21, event participants access the website (server 5), freely lay out images 91, 92, and 93 stored as photographed image data 221, and create works such as photo books 9 and the like. can be created. An image 91 is a profile image selected as a representative image. The photo book 9 can include profile information 95 as well as images. The profile information 95 reads and publishes the profile information 221c in which the text is input. Alternatively, text information read from the profile image by an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function may be posted.

As described above, according to the display systems 1 and 1A of the present embodiment, the photographed image of the event participant and the profile information can be associated with each other and displayed on the display device 3, thereby making the information public. It is possible to easily obtain profile information (contact information, etc.) of other event participants. As a result, the contact information (profile information) of the person whom the user met at the event or the like can be known from the contents displayed on the display device 3 . For example, when an acquaintance met on an SNS but does not know his/her face, or when a person whose face is familiar but does not know his or her SNS account (contact information), the content displayed on the display device 3 can be used to easily identify the person. It becomes possible to match the face with the SNS account. This makes it possible to support exchanges between event participants.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications or modifications within the scope of the technical ideas disclosed in the present application, and these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
