Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a photographing device capable of strongly attracting the attention of an object. CONSTITUTION:A switch is turned on before and/or during photographing, the voice of a photographer M (mother) is recorded on a memory circuit 5 through a generating means (sounding body) 1. When the attention of the object (infant) wanders and when the photographer M (mother) is replaced to a photographer P (father) and the object (infant) does not pay attention to the photographer P (father), the photographer P (father) selects a perception action mode, to take an action for transmitting the voice of the photographer M (mother) recorded on the memory circuit 5 to the object (infant) through the generating means (sounding body) 1. Information previously preserved in a memory card 5 and/or a memory sheet (odor bag) 5' can be uses as well. Moreover, the memory sheet (odor bag) 5' is actuated so as to generate the odor by the generation of heat by the energization of a heater provided on a driving circuit 2.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention utilizes the perceptual effect to
The present invention relates to a photographing device that directs a subject's attention toward a photographer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an example of this type of photographing apparatus, there is a self-timer photographing which is found in a silver halide camera. This is configured such that when the self-timer starts during self-timer shooting, the self-lamp on the front of the camera lights up, the tone becomes faster until the shutter is released after about 10 seconds, the self-lamp changes to blinking, and the shutter is released. . In addition, it is configured so that a monotonous sound or strobe light is pre-emitted.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, in the case of a warning by a monotonous sound or light at the time of self-timer photographing, there is no provision of remarkable information or stimulus for promoting the perceptual effect on the subject from the photographing apparatus. However, the subject does not pay attention to the direction intended by the photographer.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an image pickup apparatus capable of strongly attracting the attention of a subject.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the photographing apparatus of the present invention has at least one of five senses consisting of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste from the photographing apparatus.
And a means for storing the information before and / or during shooting, the information generating means for transmitting two pieces of information to a subject is provided via the storage means before and / or during shooting. It is transmitted from the generating means.

[0006]

According to the present invention, means for generating information and stimuli for promoting the perceptual effect by the melody, voice, lighting / blinking / irradiation of light, movement of an object, and generation of scent from the photographing device,
By transmitting the information and the stimulus to the subject from this generating means, the degree of attention of the subject is directed to the photographer side, and when the photographer changes, the subject is similarly interested. Is.

1 is a block diagram of an image pickup apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a generating means for transmitting perceptual information such as a sounding body, a light emitting body, a scent generating body, and the like.
Is a drive circuit for driving the generating means 1, 3 is a circuit and / or unit for performing a photographing operation, 4 is a circuit for controlling the system of the entire photographing apparatus, and 5 is a circuit for accumulating and / or holding data and signals from the generating means 1. Memory circuit. Further, FIG. 5 is a shooting flowchart of the first embodiment.
Next, FIGS. 9 to 14 are views showing a concrete example of the first embodiment of the present invention. The operation of each part of FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Before and / or during shooting, the switch 1 is turned on to generate the voice of the photographer M (mother) 1 (sound generator) 1.
Through the memory circuit 5. When the subject (infant) is distracted, or when the photographer shoots
When the photographer P (father) changes from (mother) to the photographer P (father),
The photographer P (father) selects the perceptual operation mode and operates to transmit the voice of the photographer M (mother) recorded in the memory circuit 5 to the subject (infant) through the generating means (sounding body) 1. To do.

It is also possible to use the information previously stored in the memory card 5 and / or the memory sheet (odor bag) 5 '. The scent of the memory sheet (smell bag) 5 ′ is generated by the heat generated by energizing the heater provided in the drive circuit 2.

Further, in FIG. 10, when the camera is used as a monitor for monitoring the exclusion zone, the switch 1 is turned on during monitoring and the voice of the monitor is recorded in the memory 5 through the generating means 1. When an intruder enters the exclusion zone,
The voice of the surveillance person recorded in the memory circuit 5 in the camera is transmitted to the intruder via the generating means (sounding body) 1, and the intruder faces the camera. be able to.

In FIG. 11, when insects or the like fly around the scent-generating body 11 placed at the in-focus position of the camera,
Through the generation means 1, insects approach the fragrance emitted from the scent generator 11, and the state of the insect can be photographed by a camera.

In FIG. 12, when an infant approaches the vibrating mat 12 placed at the in-focus position of the camera, the vibrating mat 12 is appropriately shaken through the generating means 1 to photograph its appearance. You can

In FIG. 13, when the infant is scratched while monitoring the infant on the vibrating mat 13 placed at the in-focus position of the video camera, the vibrating mat 13 is generated by the generating means 1 when the infant gets scratched. A comfortable sound is started and a pleasant sound is generated, and it is possible to photograph a place where the infant is in a good mood.

Further, in FIG. 14, when shooting outdoors in an environment where mosquitoes fly in, etc., the switch 1 is turned on in advance to generate sounds or scents that mosquitoes dislike in the memory 5 or memory sheet 5'through the generating means 1. When the mosquitoes are stored, when the mosquitoes come in, the disliked sounds and aromas of the mosquitoes stored in the memory 5 or the memory sheet 5 ′ are emitted toward the mosquitoes via the generating means 1 and the mosquitoes disperse. You can take comfortable pictures.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 5, S101 (hereinafter, S means a step) indicates that the image capturing apparatus is set to S1 by turning on / off the main switch.
