Abstract

PURPOSE:To record data in a proper direction by incorporating data recorder with an attitude position detecting means which detects the attitude of the recorder in recording, and controlling the recording position by the detected result and the indication of a recording person. CONSTITUTION:The recording person uses an input means 2 to input selectively whether an on/off selection of data recording, selection of recording data, and a selection of a recording direction are made by a signal from the attitude detecting means 1. Then, the input and inputs from the attitude detecting means 1 and a data storage part 3 are used to record the data on a recording medium while a data imprinting means 5 is controlled by a control part 4. At this time, the input from the operation input 2 is set only at modification, and by detecting the inputs from the attitude detecting means 1 and data storage part 3 only when necessary, the reduction of power consumption and recording the data at a proper position is made possible.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data recording device in a recording device such as a camera.

Conventional data recording devices for cameras record data such as the time at which the recording was performed at a fixed position on a negative film. Specifically, it is configured inside the back cover of the camera, and uses an LED or a light emitting element and a liquid crystal display to record the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, shutter speed, etc. on the recording medium.
The recording position was fixed.

For this reason, change the camera posture as shown in Figure 5-111.
If the data 12:34' were recorded, there was a drawback that the recording as shown in FIG. 5-121 would be performed.

Another drawback was that it was not possible to tell which was on top from the recorded and reproduced material.

In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the present invention includes an attitude position detection means for detecting the attitude of the recording apparatus during recording in the data recording apparatus, and controls the recording position based on the detection result and instructions from the recorder. By doing so, data recording is performed in the proper direction.The drawings will be described in detail below.

In the present invention, the data recording apparatus includes an attitude position detecting device, that is, a means for detecting the positional relationship of the recording apparatus with respect to a horizontal plane, and its detection signal is used to control data recording.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which numeral 1 denotes posture position detection means, which is means for detecting the posture of a recording device such as a camera. 2 is an input means operated by the recorder; 3 is a storage section for storing time and the like; and 4 is a recording control means for processing input data from 11213 and controlling the data imprinting means 5.

To operate this, the recorder first uses the 20 input means to select whether or not to turn data recording ON or OFF, select recording data, and select the recording direction using signals from 1. An input is made, and using that input and inputs from 1 and 3, 4 controls 5 to record data on the recording medium. At this time, input 2 only needs to be set when changing. Power consumption can be reduced by detecting inputs 1 and 3 only when necessary.

Because of this effect, it becomes possible to record data at appropriate positions.

Figure 2-(1) shows an example in which data is optically recorded on a film using a liquid crystal panel. 11 when imprinting data.
The LCD panel is turned on and off according to the data, and 12
The light is projected onto 10 through the liquid crystal. At this time, 11
Only those areas where the panel did not block the light are recorded in 10.

Figure 2-r2+ is a diagram of the 11th liquid crystal panel viewed from the 12th screen side. Portions 13 and 14 are selected by the input from 1, and data is imprinted at appropriate positions depending on the attitude of the recording device.

Fig. 3-dl1 shows an example of a data imprinting device using 11 liquid crystal panels, Fig. 3-121 shows the attitude of the recording device during imprinting, and Fig. 3-(31 shows its attitude). An example of the display of the 11 liquid crystal panels corresponding to the above, and Fig. 3-[4] is an example of a recorded photograph.

20 is the position of the 11 data imprinting panel, 21
2 is a liquid crystal panel for setting and checking various data, etc.
Reference numeral 2 indicates switches for the recorder to set data. 23/fi object, 24 to 27 indicate camera postures, and for each, the panels 1] are switched as shown in 28 to 31. (In this example, the data 12:34 is imprinted. As a result, the photographs shown in 32 to 35 are obtained, and in each photograph, the data is recorded in the proper direction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, data is recorded at an appropriate position, and its effects are significant.

In addition, although the embodiments have been explained using a camera using an existing film, the present invention brings about great effects even in an image pickup device using an electronic method. In this case, if the posture data is also recorded as an electrical signal and the image is reproduced based on the posture data during playback, there will be no intrusion.

In addition, the fourth-(
If you record a subject like the one shown in Figure 11, the top of the image won't change as shown in Figure 4-(2).
According to Akira, you can check which side is on top from the playback screen, as shown in Figure 4-(31).

As described above, the present invention expands the applications of data recording devices and has great effects.
