Description

Specification

Information recording apparatus, information recording program, and recording medium

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information recording apparatus, an information recording program, and a recording medium.

Background art

[0002] In recent years, various services related to photography have been provided. For example, when a user takes a picture with a digital camera, the digital camera that records the image data of the photograph is brought to a photo shop such as a minilab, and an unmanned terminal (kiosk) or store terminal installed in the store Can be used to write image data recorded on digital cameras and media to disc-type recording media such as CD-R and DVD-R.

[0003] In addition, digital cameras conforming to a standard that defines a directory structure called a DCF (Design Rule for Camera File system) and a recording format for memory are widely used. Digital cameras conforming to this DCF are widely used. You can exchange image data even if the manufacturers and models are different. For this reason, devices that handle image data shot with the above-mentioned digital cameras often have specifications that conform to this DCF standard.

[0004] The main items of the DCF standard will be described with reference to FIG.

[0005] As is well known, when a digital camera compliant with the DCF standard stores image data obtained by shooting on a recording medium, the top directory is "DCIM (DCF Image root directory)" or lower. In addition, a DCF directory is generated and file management is performed so that image data is stored in the DCF directory.

[0006] Here, the DCF directory name is composed of a 3-digit sequential directory management number (a number from 100 to 999) and a 5-digit vendor-specific alphanumeric character, and the image data is a 4-digit vendor. It consists of a unique alphanumeric character, a 4-digit sequential file management number (a number between 0001 and 99 99), and an extension name that indicates the data format. As described above, the file management structure conforming to the DCF standard is a convenient configuration for managing the image data to be recorded. [0007] By renaming a data file with a data file name that could not be read by a digital camera to a data file name that can be read by a digital camera that complies with the DCF standard, the data file can be read. There has been proposed a data management apparatus that enables this (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-7183

However, when managing data files as a single data group by copying or moving image data recorded under multiple DCIF directories, duplicate directory names and file names are duplicated. May cause data overwriting. For example, if the DCIF directory is copied or moved, the “DCIF” directory name will always be duplicated. Even if the DCF directory is copied or moved, the directory management number often starts with “100”, so if it is image data taken with a digital camera of the same vendor, the DCF directory There may be duplicate names. Even when image data is copied or moved, it is recorded in each DCF directory, but the file management number often starts from “0001”. There is.

[0009] It should be noted that the above-described conventional technique cannot solve the above-mentioned problem because nothing is described! When copying or moving the entire directory in which the data file is stored. In addition, since the file name of the data file to be copied or moved is determined based on the data file name existing on the storage medium at the storage destination, the data file name may be different for each recording medium. Since there is a possibility that a plurality of the same data files are recorded with different data file names on one recording medium, the management of the data files is complicated.

First, the identification information provided for each recording medium is information consisting of a 16-digit character string shown in FIG. Here, in the first two digits indicated by “AA”, a country code set in advance to indicate the country in which this recording medium or identification information was generated is set, and indicated by “B” below. In the digit, a predetermined area code is set to indicate the region in the country where this recording medium or identification information is generated. In addition, in the digit indicated by “C”, a predetermined code for each generation information is set so as to indicate information on the recording medium or the device, software or the like on which the identification information is generated. In this way, the production place information indicating the production place of the recording medium is set in the first four digits.

[0047] In the next 5 digits indicated by “XXXXX”, a random number generated based on the time information etc. when this identification information is generated is set, and this is recorded in the subsequent 4 digits of “YYMD”. Set the generation date of the media or identification information. Furthermore, in the last three digits indicated by “yyy”, the manufacturing reference number on the date of generation of this recording medium or identification information is set. Thus, in the last 12 digits, set information that makes the recording medium unique.

[0048] By generating identification information based on the above rules, unique identification information that does not overlap with other identification information that is extremely convenient in terms of management can be generated. In this embodiment, the identification information generated based on the above rules is used. The configuration of identification information and the method of generating identification information are not limited to this.

[0049] Note. For example, the identification information may be recorded in any area of the recording medium M or D, or may be readable only by a specific information recording apparatus. It may be attached to the recording medium M or D, such as a barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, or an ic tag.

[0050] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described separately in Example 1 and Example 2.

[0051] As a premise of the operation description, a program for realizing each process described in the following flowchart is recorded in the storage unit 16 in the form of a computer readable program code, and the control unit 11 The operation according to the program code is executed. <Example 1>

In the first embodiment, the data file recorded on the recording medium M and the recording medium D loaded in the medium loading unit 17a and the recording medium loading unit 17b, respectively, is copied or stored in a predetermined area of the storage unit 16. When moving, the file name and storage directory name of the data file are set based on the identification information recorded in advance on the recording medium, and the file name and storage directory name are renamed and copied or moved. The flow of processing until is performed is shown. In addition, it is assumed that the recording medium M and the recording medium D store data files in a directory structure conforming to the DCF standard.

Hereinafter, Example 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG.

[0053] As a premise of the description of the operation of the first embodiment, it is assumed that a recording medium is loaded in the loading unit 17, and a storage directory for storing the data file recorded on the recording medium is controlled by the control unit 11. Thus, it is assumed that data files are automatically copied or moved to a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 16 that is predetermined to collectively manage data files.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing when a data file recorded on a recording medium or a storage directory storing the data file is copied or moved to a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 16.

[0055] First, when a recording medium is loaded in the loading unit 17, the identification information recorded on the recording medium is detected by the identification information detection unit 18 (step S11), and a data file to be copied or moved is stored. The stored directory name is confirmed (step S12). [0056] Next, the file name and storage directory name of the copied or moved data file are set based on the identification information detected in step SI1 and the directory name confirmed in step S12 (step S1). S 13).

[0057] Further, the name of the storage directory to be moved and the data file name of the data file stored in this storage directory are renamed to the data file name and storage directory name set in step S13, and The data is copied or moved to a predetermined storage area (step S14), and this process ends.

[0058] When the recording media M and D are loaded in the media loading unit 17a and the recording medium loading unit 17b of the loading unit 17, the above processing is sequentially performed on the recording media M and D, respectively. Alternatively, the above processing may be performed simultaneously on the recording media M and D.

[0059] The above-described operation flow will be described with reference to FIG.

[0060] The upper left column of FIG. 5 shows an example of the directory structure of the recording medium M loaded in the media loading unit 17a, and the lower column of the left column shows the recording medium D loaded in the recording medium loading unit 17b. An example of the directory structure is shown. Here, the recording medium M has “JPOO ABCDE046A001” as the identification information, and the three image data “PICTOOO 1.jpg to PICT003.jpg” are stored in the DCF directory “100KM001”. Show. In addition, D has `` JP00FGHU046B002 '' as identification information, and three image data of `` PICT0001.jpg to PICT003.jpg '' in the DCF directory `` 10 OKM001 '' in `` 101K Μ001 '' [this `` PICT0001. jpg-PICT003. jpg "to show that you are going to put the image data in the thread!

In this state, the control unit 11 stores the DCF directory “100KM001” of the recording medium M in which the image data as the data file is stored and the DCF directories “100K Μ001” and “101ΚΜ001” of the recording medium D into the storage unit. When copying or moving to the directory “PS-ROLL” of 16, the data file of the image data after copying or moving is based on the DCF directory name that stores the identification information and image data that each recording medium has. A name and a storage directory name are set, and the data file name and storage directory name of the set image data are renamed.

[0062] The right column of Fig. 5 shows the directory "PS-ROLLJ" in the storage unit 16 after copying or moving described above. The following directory structure is shown. Here, directories indicated by arrows so as to correspond to the respective DCF directories of the recording medium M and the recording medium D (hereinafter referred to as conversion directories) are directories corresponding to the respective DCF directories and identification information possessed by the respective recording media. And the directory name set based on the DCF directory name where the image data is stored.

[0063] Here, the storage directory name after copying or moving is "recording medium identification information" + "-"

+ Power composed of “sequential directory management number” In this way, the user can set the storage directory name based on the “directory management number” before copying or moving. It is possible to identify the directory that was stored before copying or moving by looking at the storage directory name, so that the search and management of data files can be facilitated. Note that the structure of the directory name is not limited to this.

[0064] In addition, in the conversion directory, the data file name set based on the DCF directory name stored in the DCF directory corresponding to the conversion directory and stored in the image data force identification information and the image data. Renamed and stored.

Here, the data file name after copying or moving is “OR” + “identification information of each recording medium” + “−” + “directory management number” + “−” + Power composed of “sequential file management number” + “extension” In this way, by setting the data file name after renaming based on “directory management number”, the user can copy or move It is possible to identify the directory stored before copying or moving by looking at the name of the data file, so that the search and management of the data file can be facilitated. The configuration of the data file name is not limited to this.

It should be noted that the top directory “PS-ROLL” of the storage unit 16 is a root directory for managing data files copied or moved from the recording medium, and the recording medium force is also copied or copied under this directory. The moved data file is stored.

[0067] As described above, the name of the data file or storage directory to be copied or moved is set to the data file name and the Z or storage directory name set based on the identification information uniquely determined for each recording medium. Since it can be renamed, the data file File name and Z or storage directory name duplication can be prevented.

[0068] Furthermore, since the data file name after copying or moving is set based on the name of the storage directory in which the data file to be copied or moved is stored, the user can copy or move the data file name. Since it is possible to identify the directory that was stored before copying or moving, it is possible to easily search and manage data files.

[0069] In the first embodiment, the power of renaming the data file and storage directory to be copied or moved is not limited to this, and only the storage directory name may be renamed.

[0070] Further, in the first embodiment, the power to copy or move the storage directory recorded on the recording medium is not limited to this, and only the data file recorded on the recording medium is copied or moved. In that case, the name of the data file after renaming may be set based only on the identification information of the recording medium, and the identification information of the recording medium and the data file to be copied or moved are stored. The name of the data file after renaming may be set based on the storage directory name specified.

In the first embodiment, all data files recorded on the recording medium are automatically copied or moved. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and copying or moving is performed for each data file. Alternatively, the user may select a data file or a storage directory to be copied or moved via the input unit 12.

In the second embodiment, when the data file recorded on the recording medium M and the recording medium D loaded in the medium loading unit 17a and the recording medium loading unit 17b, respectively, is copied or moved to a predetermined area of the storage unit 16. The following shows the flow of processing until copying or moving is performed based on the rename instruction file that indicates the file name and directory name after copying or moving previously recorded on the recording medium. Note that the recording medium M and the recording medium D store image data in a directory structure conforming to the DCF standard.

[0072] Also, it is assumed that the rename instruction file for instructing the file name and directory name after copying or moving is recorded in advance on each recording medium M, D by the information recording device 10. Here, first, the flow of processing until this rename instruction file is recorded on the recording medium M will be described with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing until the rename instruction file is recorded on the recording medium.

First, when a recording medium is loaded in the loading unit 17, the identification information force identification information detection unit 18 of the loaded recording medium is detected (step S21).

[0076] Next, the directory name in which the data file is recorded on the recording medium is confirmed (step S22). Based on the directory name and the identification information detected in step S21, Thus, the data file name and Z or storage directory name when the data file recorded on the recording medium or the storage directory storing the data file is copied or moved to another recording medium are set (step S23). .

[0077] Next, a rename instruction file recording the data file name after copying or moving and the Z or storage directory name set in step S23 is generated (step S24), and recorded on the recording medium (step S25). ), This process ends.

Here, the rename instruction file is data instructing a computer that reads the recording medium to copy or move the data file recorded in the recording medium based on the steps, for example, A program, a script, or setting data for using a predetermined function of a computer that reads the recording medium.

[0079] When the recording media M and D are loaded into the media loading unit 17a and the recording medium loading unit 17b of the loading unit 17, the above processing is sequentially performed on the recording media M and D, respectively. Alternatively, the above processing may be performed simultaneously on the recording media M and D.

In this rename instruction file, a path (where the data file recorded on the recording medium M exists) ( S) in the figure and a path name (D in the figure) indicating the recording location recorded when this data file is copied or moved are recorded in association with each other and recorded on the recording medium M. Each data file is recorded in the same way. As described above, the location where the data file to be copied or moved is associated with the path name indicating the recording location where the data file is recorded at the time of copying or moving is recorded in the rename instruction file in association with each other. Thus, the data file can be copied or moved based on the rename instruction file.

The configuration of the data file name and the Z or storage directory name renamed by the above rename instruction file is the same as that of the first embodiment, and is therefore omitted. Rename instructions The method and instruction method recorded in the file are not limited to these. For example, only the storage directory name recorded on the recording medium M may be recorded as the location of the data file to be copied or moved !, and only the data file name after copying or moving is recorded. Even so.

[0086] As described above, an apparatus capable of reading a rename instruction file recorded on a recording medium can rename a data file name and Z or a storage directory name based on the rename instruction file.

[0087] Next, FIG. 9 shows a process for copying or moving a data file recorded on the recording medium from the recording medium on which the rename instruction file is recorded to a predetermined area of the storage unit 16.

This will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

[0088] As a premise of this processing, it is assumed that a recording medium is loaded in loading unit 17, and the storage directory in which the data file recorded in this recording medium is stored is a data file under the control of control unit 11. It is assumed that data is automatically copied or moved to a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 16 that is predetermined so as to be collectively managed.

FIG. 9 shows, based on the rename instruction file recorded on the recording medium, a data file recorded on the recording medium or a storage directory storing the data file is copied or stored in a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 16. It is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when moving.

First, when a recording medium is loaded in the loading unit 17, the rename instruction file recorded on the recording medium is read (step S31).

[0091] Next, the data file name and directory name after copying or moving the data file recorded on the recording medium are set based on the read rename instruction file (step S32), and the name of the storage directory to be moved is set. The name of the data file stored in this storage directory is renamed to the data file name and storage directory name set in step S32, and is copied or moved to a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 16 (step S33). This process ends.

Note that when the recording media M and D are loaded in the media loading unit 17a and the recording medium loading unit 17b of the loading unit 17, the above processing is sequentially performed on the recording media M and D, respectively. The above processing may be performed on the recording media M and D at the same time.

In this state, when the data file recorded on the recording medium is copied or moved under the directory “PS — ROLL” of the storage unit 16, first, the data file is recorded on the recording medium M under the control of the control unit 11. The rename instruction file “Albuminfo.xml” is read.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the rename instruction file includes the storage source information indicating the storage location of the data file recorded in the recording medium M, and the data file when the data file is copied or moved. Since the storage location information indicating the storage location is recorded in association with each other, the image data or the storage directory corresponding to this storage source information is copied or moved to the storage location indicated by the storage location information.

The right column of FIG. 7 shows the directory structure under the directory “PS-ROLL” of the storage unit 16 after copying or moving described above. Here, the conversion directory indicated by the arrow corresponding to each DCF directory of M and D is a directory corresponding to each DCF directory, and is a directory name set based on the rename instruction file shown in FIG. Has been renamed to

[0098] As described above, the name of the data file and Z or storage directory to be copied or moved is the data file name and z or storage directory name set based on the identification information uniquely determined for each recording medium. Can be renamed to prevent duplication of data file names and / or storage directory names.

[0099] Further, since the data file name after copying or moving is set based on the name of the storage directory in which the data file to be copied or moved is stored, the user can copy or move the data file name. Since it is possible to identify the directory that was stored before copying or moving, it is possible to easily search and manage data files.

[0100] In the second embodiment, the data file and storage directory to be copied or moved Not only this, but also the name of the storage directory can be renamed.

[0101] In the second embodiment, the power to copy or move the storage directory recorded on the recording medium is not limited to this, and only the data file recorded on the recording medium is copied or moved. In that case, the name of the data file after renaming may be set based only on the identification information of the recording medium, and the identification information of the recording medium and the data file to be copied or moved are stored. The name of the data file after renaming may be set based on the storage directory name specified.

[0102] In the second embodiment, all data files recorded on the recording medium are automatically copied or moved. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and copying or moving is performed for each data file. Alternatively, the user may select a data file or a storage directory to be copied or moved via the input unit 12.

[0103] The description in the present embodiment shows an example of the information recording apparatus according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this. The detailed configuration and detailed operation of the information recording apparatus 10 in the present embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
