DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An age calculation output system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention provides, on a storage unit,
Birth date storage unit 1 that stores the name of the person and the date of birth of the person, calendar storage unit 2 that stores the current date, and output information that stores the output information and output availability information of the person The storage section 4 is formed.

The birth date storage unit 1 is formed with a birth date storage table 11, 12... For each person and is assigned to the birth date storage table 11, 12. The name of the person and the date of birth of the person are stored as a pair of information, and the number of persons may be singular or plural. The same number of birth date storage tables as are formed. The input 8a and 8b of the person's name and the date of birth of the person's date of birth are input means conventionally used such as a keyboard input and a voice input.

The calendar storage unit 2 has a time storage table 21
And a calendar storage table 22 are formed. The time storage table 21 usually employs a video camera or a clock built in the camera. The calendar storage table 22 stores calendars from the past calendar to the future, at least calendars from the current calendar to the future, and specifically, for example,
Calendars for the past 10 years to the future 30 years are stored. In the calendar stored in the calendar storage table 22, a pointer is set to the current date portion, so that the current date can be identified.

Input of initial time to time storage table 21
As the input 2a and the initial date 2b to the calendar storage table 22, conventionally used input means such as a keyboard input and a voice input are used. The pointer of the current date portion set in the calendar storage table 22 moves in conjunction with the time storage table 21, and when the time of the time storage table 21 indicates midnight, the time storage table 21 A signal is issued to the calendar storage table 22, and each time the calendar storage table 22 receives the signal, the pointer set in the calendar storage table 22 is advanced by one day. In this way,
The current date is stored in the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2.

The birth date of each person stored in the birth date storage tables 11, 12... Of the birth date storage unit 1 and the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2 Is compared and calculated with the current date stored in, and the age is calculated for each person. The age thus calculated for each person is arranged in the output information storage unit 4 in the output information storage tables 41, 42,... Formed in the output information storage unit 4 as output information together with the person name. It is memorized. Furthermore,
In each of the output information storage tables 41, 42,..., It is determined whether or not the output information stored in the output information storage tables 41, 42,. Is stored as a pair with the output information.

That is, the output permission / non-permission information is information on whether or not output information on the person is output to an output target by the output means. If output is permitted, the output means outputs the name and the name of the person by the output means. If the age is output to the output target, and conversely, if the output is disabled, the name and age of the person are not output to the output target. The input 9a, 9b of the output permission / non-permission information to the output information storage tables 41, 42,... Uses a conventionally used input means such as a keyboard input, a voice input, and the like.

Next, the output information storage tables 41, 42,.
·········································································································································································

Then, only the output information of the person whose output permission / non-permission information is determined to be in the output permission state by the output determination unit 5 is selected and extracted from the output information storage tables 41, 42,. It is sent to the output means 6 and is output 7 to an output target such as a video tape or a camera film by a commonly used output means 6.

As described above, since the output state can be selected for each person, the output availability information of only the person who is the subject under the situation is changed to the output enabled state in accordance with the change of the person who is the object, and the output state is set. By setting the output availability information of the person who is not the subject to the output impossible state, the output of the name and age of the person who is not the subject to the output target is excluded, and only the name and age of the subject person are output. It can be output to the target.

After outputting to the output object by the output means, it is preferable to return to the age calculating section 3. In this way, when returning to the age calculation unit 3, for example,
If the date is advanced during shooting and the date advanced is birthday, the person's age can be immediately output to the output target as one advanced age, and the correct age is always used as the output target Can be output. Further, even if the subject changes during shooting and the output information to be output to the output target changes, the change can be immediately dealt with, and the output of the output information according to the shooting situation to the output target can be performed. It becomes possible.

Next, a specific example in which the number of persons is two and the output target is a video tape using the above-described age calculation output system will be described below. The birth date storage 1, the calendar storage 2, and the output information storage 4 are formed on a storage unit provided integrally in the video camera.

First, using the button formed on the video camera in the birth date storage unit 1, for example, Taro as the name of the first person and 19 as the birth date of Taro
Input 8a for November 30, 1995. And Hanako is the name of the second person, and 1 is the date of birth of Hanako.
The user inputs 8b on December 15, 993. As described above, when the name and birth date of each person are input, the birth date storage tables 1 and 12 are created in the birth date storage unit 1 for each of Taro and Hanako, and Taro's birth date is created. Day storage table
11 has Taro as the name and 1995 as the date of birth.
The information of January 30 is stored as a pair. Similarly, Hanako's date of birth storage table 12 stores a pair of information such as Hanako as the name and December 15, 1993 as the date of birth.

On the other hand, in the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2, for example, a calendar from 1997 to 2025 is input, and the current date is entered using a button formed on the video camera. For example, the user inputs 2b July 1, 1997. Then, in accordance with the input 2b, a pointer is set to the July 1, 1997 portion of the calendar stored in the calendar storage table 22.

The current time is stored in the time storage table 21. The time storage table 21 is linked with the calendar storage table 22, and the time stored in the time storage table 21 is midnight. A signal is issued from the time storage table 21 to the calendar storage table 22 each time the calendar storage table 22 receives this signal, and a pointer indicating the current date is advanced by one day each time the calendar storage table 22 receives this signal, and the accurate current year The date is stored in the calendar storage table 22. The input 2a of the initial time in the time storage table 21 and the input 2b of the initial date in the calendar storage table 22 are input using buttons formed on the video camera.

Next, the date of birth of Taro and Hanako stored in the date-of-birth storage table of the date-of-birth storage unit 1 and the current year stored in the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2 The date is compared with the date in the age calculation unit 3 to calculate the ages of Taro and Hanako. It is to be noted that the date of birth storage tables 11, 12,.
Birth date stored in the calendar and the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2
The calculation of the age of the person based on the comparison with the current date stored in the CPU is performed by using a commonly used central processing unit (CPU).

The age thus calculated for each person is output as output information together with the name of the person, as an output information storage table for each person assigned to the output information storage unit 4, specifically, The output information of Taro is stored in the output information storage table 41 of Taro, and the output information of Hanako is stored in the output information storage table 42 of Hanako. Further, in the output information storage tables 41 and 42 of Taro and Hanako, the output availability information is input 9a and 9b, and the output availability information is paired with the respective output information, specifically, the output availability information of Taro. Is paired with Taro's output information, while Hanako's output availability information is paired with Hanako's output information and stored in the respective output information storage tables 41 and 42.

The input of the output enable / disable information to the output information storage tables 41 and 42 is performed by a commonly used input means. For example, each time the switch button is pressed, the output enable / disable state is switched. In this way, it is preferable that the switching button be operated according to the situation change so that the output permission / inhibition state can be switched for each person.

Next, in the output judging section 5, the state of the output permission / inhibition information stored in the output information storage tables 41 and 42, that is, whether the output permission / inhibition information is in the output enable state or in the output disable state. Specifically, the output enable / disable information stored in Taro's output information storage table 41 and the output enable / disable information stored in Hanako's output information storage table 42 are in either the output enable state or the output disable state. Determine if it is.

Then, as a result of the judgment made by the output judging section 5, the output information is output to the output target by the output means 6 only for the person whose output permission information is in the output enabled state. Specifically, for example, when the output permission / prohibition state of Taro is the output permission state and the output permission / prohibition state of Hanako is the output prohibition state, only the output information of Taro is output by the output means 6. Output 7 In this embodiment, the output means 6 outputs 7 to a video tape, and the output information is written on the video tape. When the video tape on which the output information is written is reproduced, the name and age of Taro are displayed at the lower right as shown in FIG. 2, and the age of Taro can be immediately recognized.

In the above embodiment, the number of persons is two.
The present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that one or three or more persons may be used. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the output target is a video tape and the output to the video tape has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, it may output to a camera film. That is, when outputting the output information to the film of the camera, specifically, the work of writing the output information to the film of the camera is performed. FIG. 3 shows an example of a photograph obtained by developing the film of the camera in which the output information is written. In FIG. 3, Taro's output enable / disable information is set to the output disable state, and Hanako's output enable / disable information is set to the output enable state.

Finally, in the above embodiment, the case where the name and the date of birth of a predetermined person are input to the date of birth storage tables 11, 12... As described above, the input of the name and the date of birth of the predetermined person into the date of birth storage tables 11, 12,... Is not limited to this. For example, as the input to the age calculation output system, A birth date is calculated by inputting the name and the current age of the person, comparing the input age with the calendar stored in the calendar storage table 22 of the calendar storage unit 2, and calculating the date of birth. The date of birth may be input to the date of birth storage tables 11, 12,....
