[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an image recording device, an image reproducing device, and an image editing system for facilitating editing of images such as print images taken by a camera. be.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when organizing a large number of print images taken with a camera, for example, a person looks at the images, selects them, and considers whether or not they should be saved or not, or in what order they should be rearranged. is the current situation.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since such work is done manually by humans, there is a problem in that as the number of images to be sorted increases, it takes more time.

Therefore, it is recommended that such sorting be done using the electronic filing system that has been provided in recent years.

However, the adoption of such an electronic filing system has the following problems.

Devices that electrically record images, such as video equipment, can record image information and other information separately at the same time, but they are expensive and have not yet become widely available in the world.

On the other hand, what is widely used in the world is image recording using photographic film, or recording and editing of images and non-image data together, which involves replaying the data at the time of shooting. This was extremely inconvenient because it required setting and recording, which was difficult to operate and did not allow for easy image editing.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image recording device, an image reproducing device, and an image editing system that solve the problems associated with such electronic filing systems and enable easy editing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An image recording device for achieving the object of the present invention includes a recording medium for recording video information, a conversion means for converting data representing information other than video information into a barcode, The present invention is characterized by comprising means for recording the barcode information converted by the converting means on a recording medium in correspondence with the corresponding video information.

In addition, the image reproducing apparatus takes video information and information in a recording medium that records barcode information corresponding to the video information as input information, and includes a storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of input information, and a storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of input information, and according to instructions from a setting means. , and a control means for outputting corresponding video information based on the barcode information.

These image recording devices and image reproducing devices constitute an image editing system.

[Function] When the image recording device configured as described above is used as a camera, for example, data such as the date is imprinted on the film along with the subject image using a bar code.

The image recording device inputs video information and barcode information, and outputs desired video information from the barcode according to information set by the operator.The image editing system organically converts these devices into For example, by combining images with an image recording device such as a camera and having a barcode displayed on the printout read by an image reproducing device, for example, displaying an image on a specified date on a monitor or recording it on a video device, etc. Let me do it.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the image editing system.

The system of this embodiment is roughly divided into a camera device 1, an image playback device 3, and a recording device 4.

The camera device 1 roughly consists of a control means 1-a consisting of a microcomputer, a setting means 1-d, a display means 1-e, a film imprinting means t-b, and a li-image optical system 1-g.

The signal at is a signal that gives the control means 1-a the state operated by the setting means 1-d.

The signal a2 is a signal for the control means 1-a to control the display means 1-e.

The fX number a3 is a signal that gives information obtained by reading the DX code printed on the cartridge of the film 1-c loaded in the cartridge chamber of this camera from the film imprinting means 1-d to the control means 1-a. be.

The signal a4 is a signal that gives timing information from the film imprinting means 1-b to the control means 1-a for detecting the film moving speed when the film 1-c is being fed.

The signal a5 is transmitted by the control means 1-a to the film imprinting means 1.
-b is a signal that gives dot information of the character to be imprinted.

The setting means 1-d is for setting whether or not to imprint data, and whether to imprint such data.

1-c is a film, and an imprinting means t-
A bar code is also recorded in an overlapping manner at the positions indicated by symbols 1-f.

The film imprinting means 1-b has a structure shown in FIG. This includes a point light source array 5 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in a row, and is connected to terminals DOTO to 6 of the control means 1-a.

The lens 8 is optically arranged to focus the point light source array 5 onto the film 1-c.

Figure 6 shows the imprint window position 5a'.
There is a point light source array 5 within the enlarged round bar.

In response to feeding or winding of the film 1-c, the rotation detector 13 generates a pulse train signal TCK and outputs it to the terminal TCK of the control means 1-a.

The rotation detector 13 is arranged as shown in FIG.

Winding and rewinding of the film 1-c is carried out by the motor 1.
1 as power, and is transmitted to the film 1-c by a power transmission mechanism 12 consisting of a gear train or the like.

If you zoom in around one gear 131 in the gear train,
As shown in FIG. 4, the LED 132 and the photodiode 133 form a photo interrupter and the gear 13
Detect the peaks and valleys of tooth 1. In the signal TCK generated by the above configuration, 12 pulses correspond to one frame of the screen, and serve as a reference for the imprint position. The above electrical configuration is
It is shown in FIG.

Power supply 137 connects LED 132 and photodiode 133
are connected in parallel. The voltage generated across the resistor 135 changes depending on the rotational position of the photointerrupter and the gear.

That is, if the teeth of the gear 131 on the optical path of the interrupter are valleys, the voltage will be high; on the other hand, if the teeth of the gear 131 are crests, the voltage will be low.

By applying this voltage to the comparator 136, a pulse TCK indicating film movement is outputted from the comparator 136.

The image recorded on the film by the above camera device is restored in the print 2 after the film is developed.

The operation of the program written in the control means 1-a is shown in FIG. 8, and will be described later.

The image reproduction device 3 includes a scanner 3a that reads image information b2 of the print 2, a barcode reading device 3-c that reads information bl of the barcode xt, an operation means 3-b consisting of a keychain, for example, and an image memory 3-f. , a video signal generator 3-e, and a control means 3- consisting of a microcomputer that sends and receives signals to and from these devices and performs control.
It is composed of d.

The barcode reading device 3-c is a known technology and interprets the result b1 of reading the barcode shown in the area 1-f of the print 2, and interprets the result b1 of the barcode reading shown in the area 1-f of the print 2.
d as a signal b5.

Image information b2 from image 2 is taken into control means 3-d as signal c3 via scanner 3-a.

The scanner 3-a has the structure shown in FIG. 18(a), and the print 2 is sandwiched between two pairs of rollers 20, and is fed as the rollers 20 are rotated by a motor. The image is then scanned.

The photosensor 19 detects whether there is a print to be read below the image sensor 18.

The image sensor 18 has a structure as shown in FIG. 18(b), and includes a fluorescent lamp 182 that illuminates the print, a CCD element 181 that detects the light or the light that hits the print and is reflected, and a bar code reading device. The photoreflector 22 is composed of a light source LED 183 and a light detection element 184.

The information b3 captured by the scanner 3-a is the first
The image is temporarily stored in the image memory 3-f in the format shown in FIG.

The head portion of the image memory 3-f is occupied by 256 bytes of data other than optical video information as a record.

The contents of the record are as shown in "Part A" and "Part B". For example, the data order is "01..." such as "Part 0".
00.03.85.04.10.05.10' means that "this image was taken on October 10, 1985, and this information is available to everyone." There is.

Optical image information identifies each pixel in three colors (R, G.

B), and each byte of data representing the brightness in 8 bits is recorded in the order according to the physical location.
As shown in part D in Figure 16, the pixels of the screen are 512x5.
In the case of 12 colors, each color requires 40000h bytes.

Therefore, one screen consists of coiooh bytes of data.

The stored image is transmitted to the video signal generator 3 according to the information b4 from the operating means 3-b or the barcode information b5.
-e to send information b to the recording device 4 or the recorder 5.

In the recording device 4, the information bto is recorded on a floppy disk.

If a portion necessary for explaining this embodiment is extracted from the program written in the control means 3-d for controlling the image reproducing device 3, it will be as shown in FIG. 17.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention in the above configuration will be explained.

Here, the operation of the program written in the control means 1-a of the camera device 1 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The program starts at step 801.

At step 801, variables of this program are initialized as necessary, and then the process advances to step 802.

In step 802, the operating status of the operating means 1-d is read. Here, one of the functions O to 6 shown in FIG. 13 is selected, and the process proceeds to step 803.

At step 803, the DX printed on the cartridge of the film 1-c loaded in the cartridge chamber of this camera is

Assign to . Since this is a known technique, detailed explanation will be omitted. The correspondence between this variable DXC and IsO sensitivity is shown in Table 1. After this, the program proceeds to step 804.

At step 804, characters to be imprinted are determined according to the previously selected function. Since the imprinting of ordinary characters (alpha heads and numbers) is not a feature of the present invention, it will not be described in detail.

Therefore, the detailed format for the barcode part is shown in FIG. 14(a).

These numbers are converted into barcodes, for example, the data string "405051:11511115" indicating function 4 in the table.
is as shown in Figure 7(a).

The barcode format used here is Interlib2
0f5 and is a widely known method in the world, so its explanation will be omitted.

This is expressed as a dot example as shown in FIG. 9, and the barcode data shown in FIG. 15 is stored in variable TB2, and the process advances to step 805.

At step 805, the value 2 representing the start position of the imprint is assigned to variable PO5, and the process proceeds to step 806.

In step 806, other processing unrelated to the explanation of this program is performed, and then the process advances to step 807.

At step 807, it is determined whether a release operation is being performed.

If a release operation has not been performed, the process branches to step 802 again. Therefore, while the release operation is not being performed, this program continues from steps 802 to 8.
03→804→805-806-807-802 is repeated (period TI).

After the above operations, when a release operation is performed, the program branches to step 808 in step 807.

After exposure control is performed in step 808, the process advances to step 809. This exposure control includes shutter control, aperture control, etc., but since these are known techniques, they will not be explained in detail.

In step 809, the film winding motor 11 is operated to start film feeding, and the process proceeds to step 810.

After imprint control is performed in step 810,
Proceed to step 811. FIG. 10 shows the detailed operation of this routine.

At step 811, the film winding motor 11 is made inoperative, film feeding is terminated, and step 81 is again performed.
Proceed to step 2 and repeat in the same manner.

The operation of the subroutine of step 811 will be explained in detail.

To simplify the explanation here, in step 802, a function is selected, and it is selected to imprint the control state of the camera device 1 on the film 1-c using a bar code, and at the same time, the variable MOI is selected. ) Assume that 4 is assigned to H.

In the previous step 803, the DX code of the film 1-c is read, and the ISO sensitivity is set to 100 and 5 is assigned to the variable DXC (see FIG. 12(a)).

The barcode data to be imprinted is set in step 804, and in this example, it is "4050513501".
15”.

The above is assumed.

The imprint control routine in FIG. 10 includes step 1101.
will be started from.

In step 1101, it is determined whether the content of the variable MODE is 0 or not, and since the content of the variable MODE is a non-zero value,
The process branches to step 1102.

At step 1102, 0 is assigned to counter C,
Proceed to step 1103.

In step 1103, it is determined whether the state of the terminal TCK is at H level or not. Since the terminal TCK is at L level, the process branches to step 1103. While this state continues, step 110
3 is repeated (period T11).

After the period Tit, when the terminal TCKh) becomes H level, the process branches from step 1103 to step 1104.

At step 1104, counter C is incremented, the value of C becomes 1, and the process advances to step +105.

In step 1105, the contents of counter C (=1) and the contents of variable pos (=2) are compared, and here c<po

In step 112, it is determined whether the state of the terminal TCK is at L level or not. Since the terminal TCK is at H level, the process branches to step 1121. While this state continues, step 112
1 is repeated (period T12).

After the period T12, when the terminal TCK becomes L level, the process branches from step 1121 to step 1103.

At step 1103 again, it is determined whether the state of the terminal TCK is at H level or not. Since the terminal TCK is at L level, the process branches to step 1103, and while this state continues, step 1
103 is repeated (period T13).

After the period T13, when the terminal TCK becomes H level, the process branches from step 1103 to step 1104.

Step 11 (At step 14, the counter C is incremented, the value of C becomes 2, and the process proceeds to step 1105.

In step 1105, the contents of counter C (=2) and the contents of variable pos (=2) are compared, and here c<po
Since it is not s, the process branches to step 1106.

In step 1106, the argument is DXC (=5), and the function value TBI [DXC], (=400) found from the table function TBI shown in FIG. 12(b) is assigned to the timer variable T1, and the process proceeds to step 1107. move on.

At step 1107, counter N1. :O is assigned, and the process advances to step 1108.

In step 1108, the argument is set to N (=O), and the first
Function value T found from table function TB2 shown in Figure 5
B2[N], (=7C (hexadecimal)) is assigned to the variable DTD, and the process advances to step 1109.

At step 1109, the contents of variable DTD (=7F) are compared with constant 55 (hexadecimal), and since they are not equal, the process branches to step 1110.

At step 1110, the contents of the variable DTD are output to the terminal DOT, and if the contents of each bit are 1, the contents of the variable DTD are output to the terminal DOT.
D is lit. Also, since the most significant bit terminal of the terminal DOT is not connected to the LED, the variable DT
The most significant bit of D is ignored. Then step 11
Proceed to 11.

In step 1111, the time [! The standby operation is performed for # usecl,
Proceed to step 1112.

At step 1112, 0 is output to the terminal DOT, and the terminals corresponding to each bit are O, so all the LEDs are turned off, and the process proceeds to step 1113.

At step 1113, the special machine operation is performed for the time of the value (T2-Tl) [unit: usec], and step 1
Proceed to 114. (T 2 = 1600) Step 11
At step 14, the counter N is incremented, the value of N becomes 1, and the process returns to step 1108.

After the period T13, the period up to step 1114 is defined as a period T14.

Again, in step 1108, the argument is set to N (=2), and the function value TB2[N], (=00 (hexadecimal)) found from the table function TB2 shown in FIG. 15 is set as the variable DTD.
, and the process proceeds to step 1109.

Thereafter, steps 1108 → 1109 → 1110 → 1111 → 11 until the value of variable DTD becomes 55 (hexadecimal)
Repeat steps 12-1113-1114-1108. (Period T15) After the period T15, when the DTD value reaches 55 (hexadecimal), the process branches to R in step 1109, and the routine returns to the end.

FIG. 11 shows the timing of the above operations.

Here, an image 2 is obtained, which is a printed film on which the photographed image and the previous barcode are superimposed.

The graph is shown in FIG.

When the image player 3 is turned on, the program starts at step 1.
It starts from 701.

In step 1701, the initial value oooooo is set in the variable AD.
h is assigned, other variables and input/output ports are also initialized, and the process advances to step 1702.

In step 1702, the roller 2o in FIG. 18 is rotated, and the process proceeds to step 1703.

In step 1703, it is determined whether or not there is a print on the document table 21. If there is a print, the process branches to step 1704, and if not, the process branches to step 1712.

Therefore, the program continues through steps 1701-417 until the print is placed on the stand 21 and ready to be read.
02→1703→1712→1713...→1717
→Repeat 1701→1701.

When the print is placed on stand 2 and becomes readable,
At step 1703, the process branches to step 1704.

In step 1704, the variable ADR representing the address of the R component (red component) of the image memory to be stored is set to the variable ADR.
The result of adding D and 100h is also added to the variable ADG representing the address of the G component (green component), and the variable AD and 401
The result of adding 00h is assigned to the variable ADB representing the address of the B component (blue component), and the result of adding 80100h is substituted, and the process advances to step 1705.

At step 1705, the CCD element 181 on the table 18 reads the print 2 illuminated by the fluorescent tube 182, and the process proceeds to step 1706.

At step 1706, the brightness information of each color is set to the variable A.
It is stored in the addresses indicated by DR, ADG, and ARB, and is stored in the image memory 3 in the format shown in FIG.
-F is temporarily stored.

Proceed to step 1707.

In step 1707, it is determined whether or not there is a barcode in the print currently being read. If there is a barcode, the process branches to step 1708, and if not, the process branches to step 1709.

In areas where barcodes are printed, step 1
At 708, the barcode is read. Barcode reading is possible with existing technology, so we won't go into details.

The read barcode is assigned to the variable BDATA.

In step 1709, it is determined whether the print has been fed by the roller 2o and has reached the end. If it has not been reached, the process branches to step 1720, and if it has reached it, the process branches to step 1709.

When branching to step 1720, in step 1720, 200h is added to the variable representing the address of the memory storing image data each time one line is scanned, that is, since the number of pixels of the CCD element 181 is 512/Llne.

Therefore, while printing has not reached the end and is not in the barcode area, steps 1705→1706→1
The entire screen is read by repeating 707→1708→1709→1720→1705.

When the scanning of the print screen is completed and the end is reached, the process branches from step 1709 to step 1710.

At step 171O, the barcode data read at step 1708 is stored in the memory at the address indicated by variable AD, and the process advances to step 1711.

In step 1711, the result of adding C00OOOh to AD is stored in the address positions of variables AD+1 to +6, and the process proceeds to step 1712.

At step 1712, the operation result of the operation means 3-b is obtained. Here, what is selected as the operating mote is assigned to variable M, and the process proceeds to step 1713.

In step 1713, by examining the contents of variable M, one of the search mode, normal mode, and sort mode is selected, and the process branches to any of steps 17014 to 1716.

Processing 1714 in the search mote will be explained.

The search processing routine 1714 is shown in detail in FIG.

This process starts at 1901, and a message prompting you to input "Please select the item to search."

is output to the monitor 5, and the process advances to step 1902.

At step 1902, the value of the key input from the operation unit 3-b is assigned to the variable KEY, and the process proceeds to step 1903.

At step 1903, the initial address oooooooh is assigned to the variable ADR indicating the address where the record data section of the current image data is stored, and at step 190
Proceed to step 4.

At step 1904, the contents of the variable KEY are determined,
If the contents are 1°° 2'' and °゛3°', the process branches to steps 1911, 1931, and 1951, respectively.

Each case will be explained.

(a) If KEY-"1°", the process branches to step 1911, and a message prompting the user to enter the date is output to the monitor 5, and the process proceeds to step 1912.

In step 1912, if the 81 dimension set by the operating means 3-b is "October 5, 1981", the variable YEAR representing the year is set to "81", or the variable MON representing the month is set to '10'. ” or “05” is assigned to the variable DAY representing the day, and the process advances to step 1914.

At step 1914, memory [ADR+1 to A
The contents of DR+6 are substituted, and the process advances to step 1915.

At step 1915, the value of the function f whose arguments are 03h and variable YEAR is determined. The detailed contents of the function f are shown in FIG.

As can be seen from this figure, the function f (x, y) checks the memory contents of the record section from address ADR to ADR + FFh, and the attribute (
As a result of determining whether the value of the data with 03h) matches the value indicated by the second argument (variable YE8R in this embodiment), if they match, the value FFh is returned as the value. This is a function that returns 00h if they do not match.

Therefore, this record section has attribute 03h and data is 81h.
If no code is recorded, step 192
Branch to 2.

In step 1922, it is determined whether the current image data is at the end based on the contents of variable ADH2, and if the end has not been reached, the process branches to step 1913.

At step 1913, the start address of the next image data is reset as the current address, and again at step 191.
Proceed to step 4.

As explained above, step 1914 → 1915 → 1922-1 until the previous code matches or the end is reached.
913→1914 is repeated (period T21).

If the end is reached here, a determination is made in step 1922, and then the process branches to step 1923.

At step 1923, a message "Not found" indicating the search result is output to the monitor 5, and the process returns to end.

On the other hand, if the previous codes match, it is determined in step 1915 and then the process branches to step 1916.

At step 1916, as in the previous step 1915, it is determined whether it is the value of the function f whose arguments are 04h and the variable MON.

Similar to the previous description, steps 1914-1915- until the coat and the previous coat match or a termination is reached.
1922→1913-1914 or step 1
914 → 19th grade 5 → 1916-1922 → 1913 → 1
914 is repeated (period T22).

If the end is reached here, a determination is made in step 1922, and then the process branches to step 1923. The subsequent operation in this case is the same as described above.

In other words, the input variables YEAR1MON, DA
If it is Y or matches the content of the record attached to each image data, the process branches to step 1918; otherwise, step 1923 is processed and the process returns to end.

When the process advances to step 1918, the searched image is output to the monitor 5 or the recording device 4, and the image is output to the monitor 5 or the recording device 4, and the image is output to the monitor 5 or the recording device 4.

At step 1934, the memory contents [ADR] at the address indicated by the address variable ADR are compared with the variable No. If they do not match, the process branches to step 1935.

At step 1935, it is determined whether the current image data is at the end or not based on the contents of the memory [ADR+1 to ADR+6], and if the end has not been reached, the process branches to step 1933.

At step 1933, the start address of the next image data is reset as the current address, and again at step 193
Proceed to step 4.

As explained above, step 1934 is performed until the memory contents match the variable NO or the end of the image data is reached.

0'' is assigned, and the process proceeds to step 1954.

At step 1954, it is determined whether it is the value of the function f whose arguments are 09h and variable FM.

If a court with data 50h in the attribute 09h of the video data record section is found, the process branches to step 1956, and if it is not recorded, the process branches to step 1955.

In step 1955, it is determined whether the current image data is at the end or not based on the contents of the memory [ADR+1 to ADH+6], and if the end has not been reached, the process branches to step 1953.

At step 1953, the start address of the next image data is reset as the current address, and again at step 195.
Proceed to step 4.

As explained above, step 1954 is performed until the memory contents match the variable number or the end of the image data is reached.
→1955 →1953 →1954 are repeated (period T24).

If the end is reached here, a determination is made in step 1955, and then the process branches to step 1923.

If the process branches to step 1923, it is the same as the previous explanation and will not be explained again.

On the other hand, if the previous data is found, it is determined in step 1954 and then the process branches to step 1956.

Proceeding to step 1956, the searched image is output to the monitor 5 or recording device 4, and step 1957
Proceed to.

At step 1957, the message "Do you want to search further?" is output to the monitor 5, and the process advances to step 1958.

In step 1958, if a key input is made from the operating means 3-b to perform the search operation again, the process proceeds to step 1959 and step 1951 again, otherwise the process returns and ends.

In step 1959, the message "Do you want to search further?" ° is output to the monitor 5, and the process returns to completion.

As explained above, it is possible to search for images with a certain specific focal length.

Since the normal processing routine 1715 does not represent the features of the present invention, its description will be omitted.

The rearrangement processing routine 1716 is shown in detail in FIG.

This process starts at step 2001, initializes the variable Z1ADR to 0 and ooooooh, and proceeds to step 2002.

In step 2002, memory [ADR+
1 to ADR+6] are substituted, and the process proceeds to step 200.
Proceed to step 3.

At step 2003, the value of the function g whose argument is 06h is assigned to the variable H. The detailed contents of the function g are shown in FIG.

As can be seen from this figure, the function g(x) searches the memory contents of the record section from address ADR to ADR+FFh, and searches the value of data with the attribute (06h in this case) shown in the first argument. This is a function that returns a value of 00h when there is no data with the previous attribute.

After step 2003, the process advances to steps 2004 and 2005, where the same processing as step 2003 is performed, and the variable M
, S are substituted with predetermined values.

Proceed to step 2006 and set the array variable TIME [z]
The calculation result of 3600.H+60.M+S is assigned to [0] and the value of the variable ADR is assigned to the array variable TIME [z[1], and the process advances to step 2007.

In step 2007, the value of variable Z is incremented, and the process proceeds to step 2008.

In step 2008, it is determined whether the current image data is the end or not by checking the value of the variable ADR2.

If it is the end, the process branches to step 2010; otherwise, the process branches to step 2009.

Until it is determined that the image data is the end, the program continues in steps 2002→2003-2004-200.
5-2006-2007--2008-2009→20
02 is repeated (period T31).

After the above period, when the image record section reaches the end, the process branches from step 2008 to step 2010.

At step 2010, the array variable TIME is sorted according to known techniques. For example, if the array variable TIME is stored as shown in FIG. 25 before sorting, then the array variable TIME will be stored as shown in FIG. 26 after sorting.

Proceeding to step 2011, the variable N is reset to 0,
Proceed to step 2012.

In step 2012, the variable TIME[N
] [The value of 11 is assigned, and the process proceeds to step 2013.

In step 2013, the rearranged first images are
Output to monitor 5 or recorder 4, step 20
Proceed to step 14.

In 2014, it is determined whether the value of variable N is smaller than the value of variable Z.

The variable Z means the number of images stored in memory, so if that number has not been reached, step 2
Branches to 015.

In 2015, the variable N is incremented and the process proceeds to step 2016.

In 2016, a standby operation is performed for a certain predetermined period of time, and the process returns to step 2010.

Therefore, while the value of the variable N does not reach the number of images stored in the memory, the program continues in step 201O→
2011→2012→2013→2014→2015→
2016→2010 is repeated (period T32).

After the above period, when the variable N reaches the number of captured images, the program branches at step 2014 and returns from the current process.

As explained above, it is now possible to sort certain data (dates) according to rules (in chronological order).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, the recording device 4 has a plurality of recording tracks on its recording medium, and transfers the data information represented by the barcode to the first recording track 231, and transfers the video information to the first recording track 231. If you record this on the second recording track 232, the barcode Mr.
The Fcb removal device 3-c is no longer required, making it convenient.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 24, when recording on a medium, it has a means that can record by providing a plurality of frequencies, and the data information represented by the above barcode is recorded on the first frequency 241. The same thing can be achieved by recording video information on the second frequency 242.

In addition to the data shown in Figures 14(a) and (b), the barcode display data includes the number of photographed frames, exposure correction coefficient, weather conditions at the time of photography, and as shown in Figure 14(c). Manually set annotations, e.g. °' Fr1en
C1,s, ”Family”Birthda
y", etc., and may also be a voice.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, in an image recording device such as a camera, data such as the photographing conditions and date can be recorded with barcodes along with the subject image, and a large number of data can be recorded. Not only can information be recorded, but also various devices can be controlled using this barcode information.

Furthermore, the image reproducing device can perform editing operations such as reproducing or rearranging specific data based on barcode information input together with video information.

Therefore, for example, when organizing a large number of captured images, an image editing system consisting of these image recording layers and an image playback main device is preferable to manually selecting the desired images or using a predetermined order. It is a much simpler operation and can be edited more quickly than sorting files.

In addition, unlike conventional methods, it is not possible to use electrical images, and it is possible to handle images from widely used photographic film in the same way as images recorded electrically.
