The predetermined image data is data obtained by performing predetermined processing on image data obtained by imaging by the imaging unit and/or image data obtained by imaging by the imaging unit.

The predetermined image data, for example, the image data (frame) obtained by the image sensor reading the signal at the time (or a predetermined time after the operation) or the determination of the predetermined recording condition in response to the recording instruction; for example; the response recording instruction operation or The time at which the predetermined recording condition is met (or a predetermined time after) is determined by the temporary storage of the plurality of frames temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 6. The predetermined image data (frame) in the image data; for example, the image data obtained in the above-described case is subjected to predetermined processing (a predetermined process such as correction, interpolation, pseudo color, pixel down, compression, etc., or both) a plurality of); for example, recording a specified number of multi-frame image data; for example, image data obtained by specifying processing of a predetermined number of multi-frame image data

(frame), if the multi-frame image data stored in the temporary storage unit 6 is integrated, the processed image data is obtained; for example, one or more of the image data obtained in these cases, such as simultaneously recording image data. Obtained image AD data and image data of the image.

Specifically, in one embodiment, in response to the recording instruction operation of the operation unit 11, the control unit 10 controls the image sensor to read a signal to obtain image data, and causes the image processing unit 2 to perform predetermined image data compression processing on the image data. Or performing predetermined processing such as correction, interpolation, and the like on the video data, and performing compression processing to associate the information related to the specified specific subject information in the temporary storage unit 6 with the compressed image data to generate an image. The file is recorded to the memory card 8, and the processing is ended. In addition, compression can be performed after the information is attached.

The information related to the specified specific subject information, for example, may be all information of the subject information as the special subject information, or part of the information, for example, "Substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" may be recorded, However, it is also possible to record "device area 1 device IC phase", for example, sorting order information added to the subject information may also be recorded; other information that is not used to generate the indication information in the subject information, for example, the photographed The body information also has information such as the number and model number. Although it is not displayed, the number and model information can also be saved.

An embodiment of the associated record, wherein the information related to the specified specific subject information is added as information of the image data in a predetermined format, as shown in FIG. 9 is an implementation diagram of the image file structure; wherein, the image data 901 is The image data obtained by reading the image data obtained from the image sensor in response to the recording indicates the compressed image data; the information 902 related to the special subject information is a subject representing the "substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" Information; other additional information 903 such as the time of shooting, parameters related to shooting such as ambient temperature, distance, and the like.

In addition, the association record processing may also record information related to the special subject information in an information file or an index file associated with the image file, and the control unit 10 may generate the information file or the index file; The image information is generated by the camera information, and the recording unit has a file name generating unit for generating a file name of the image file, the file name including at least information related to the specified special subject information; for example, the generated image File name: Substation 1 Device area 1 Device IC phase. jpg ; Preferably, the file name containing the classification information is generated according to the classification information in the object information, for example, according to the specified attribute information: Substation 1 - Equipment Area 1 - Device I - C phase. jpg, further, combined with the time information "20120223" to generate a file name, such as substation 1 - device area 1_device I _C phase - 20120223. jpg; the essence of the associated record is that the record facilitates subsequent batch processing Analyze the information needed, and the file name contains the subject information for the user to view, according to the subject Classification information in the messages to generate a file name includes the classification information may identify the subsequent analysis of the batch to facilitate the identification and classification information read file name.

In step S107, the control unit determines whether there is a switching instruction operation of the operation unit 11, and if not, returns to step S103, and the object indication information is displayed together with the continuous dynamic image (continuous synthesis), as the control unit 10 detects. When the switching instruction operation from the operation unit 11 is performed, the process proceeds to step S108.

When the user instructs the "substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" according to the object indication information in the display interface 601, the photographing of the corresponding subject is completed, and then the switching button 2 of the operation portion 10 or the like is pressed to represent the switching button. The operation of the switching instruction operation can be completed by one-button operation. Here, the user does not need to look at the object information shown on the display interface 601 for selection or searching, and the operation is simple. Further, the control unit 10 may be based on a predetermined switching condition; for example, when it is determined that the predetermined time interval is met, for example, when the analysis value of the image exceeds a predetermined threshold (for example, the temperature in the thermal image exceeds a predetermined threshold), for example, when The device connected to the video device 13 defines a switching condition such as a trigger signal of another sensor or the like, and automatically enters the switching designation process even if the switching instruction operation of the operation unit 11 is not performed. The predetermined switching condition further includes that the operation unit 11 is performed. The switching indicates the operation, but the switching of the designated processing is performed when other predetermined conditions are satisfied at the same time, for example, the specified time interval is met. Obviously, the specified switching conditions may be various conditions that are pre-configured.

Step S108, the control unit 10 determines whether the task is completed.

In response to the switching instruction operation, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the designation of the last subject information in the sort order sequence is completed; if not, returns to step S102, at which time, based on the additional order stored by the information storage unit The sequential subject information switches the specified special subject information in the sort order. If it is completed, the information mode ends, and the words “task completion” can be displayed on the screen. After that, it returns to the standby state of the image device, waiting for the user to enter other modes. In addition, you can also switch to the starting point of the specified sort order, such as the starting point of the sort order, for loop shooting.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the information specifying unit (control unit 10) adds 1 to the sequence number of the sort order corresponding to the special subject information specified before the switching, and then determines whether or not the last one of the sorting order sequences is completed. If it is not completed, the object information corresponding to the sequence number of the sort order obtained by adding the sequence number of the sort order plus one is specified as the special subject information; if it is completed, it is exited. In addition, it is not necessary to judge whether the designation of the last subject information in the sequence of the sort order is completed, or not, and each time the switching instruction operation is received, that is, the search and the sequence number of the sort order is incremented by one is obtained. The subject information corresponding to the sequence number of the sort order is designated as the special subject information, and when it is not found, the search is continued by 1 until the predetermined timing is exceeded, or the control mode is terminated until the control unit 10 receives the exit instruction.

When the flow returns to step S102, the information specifying unit switches the specified special subject information based on the sorting order, that is, switches the designated subject information as the special subject information.

Here, the specified special subject information is switched. In a preferred embodiment, the information specifying unit sets the specified single subject information as the special subject information by the pre-switching as the special subject information. The individual subject information is switched to, in the sort order sequence, the subject information specified as the special subject information before the switching (the sort order of the subject information determined for the task determining portion when there is the task determining step) The next subject information in the sequence). For example, in this example, the single subject information specified as the special subject information is specified by the single subject information "Substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" specified as the special subject information before the switching. , the next subject information in the sorting order "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment I c phase" in the sorting order "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment IB phase" specified as the object information of the special subject information ".

The display control unit controls the display unit to display the image generated by the image data, and displays the subject instruction information obtained by the information specifying unit switching the specified special subject information in a special display manner. As shown in the display interface 602, the object specifying unit "substation 1 device" obtained by the information specifying unit switching the specified special subject information "Substation 1 device area 1 device IB phase" is displayed in a special display manner. Zone 1 equipment IB phase". The progress information 603 displayed in 601 changes to progress information 604 displayed in 602. Then, the user can photograph the corresponding subject according to the subject indication information of the "Substation 1 Device Area 1 Device IB Phase" which is specifically displayed; obviously, then, when the recording instruction operation is performed again, the information specifying unit Switching the specified special subject information, the recording unit, in response to the recording instruction, for specifying the predetermined image data and the special subject information specified after the switching "Substation 1 device area 1 The information related to the device IB phase is recorded in association. Thereby, the user can easily perform the shooting by the shooting path L10 as shown in FIG. 10, and it is difficult to omit the subject.

Further, the information specifying unit switches the single subject information as the special subject information specified by the subject information specified as the special subject information before the switching to the special subject specified before the switching. The subject information of the volume information is the previous subject information in the sorting order. Switching based on the sort order may be a sequence or a reverse order of the sort order sequence, and may be specified to be switched in the order of the sort order or in reverse order.

Further, when the information specifying unit specifies the subject information as the special subject information, and sorts the adjacent subject information by two or more; the information specifying unit specifies the specified subject information as the special subject information. The number of adjacent subject information is sorted, and the adjacent subject information is sorted by a predetermined number specified as the special subject information before switching, and switched to the subject specified as the special subject information before the switching. The next subject information of the information in the sort order sorts the adjacent subject information as the initial prescribed number.

For example, when "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment IC", "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment IB", "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1 Equipment IA Phase" are specified at the same time, in response to the switching instruction operation, the designation "Substation 1 Equipment Area 1" will be designated. "Device ΠΑ", "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment ΠΒ", "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment IIC phase" as special subject information.

Further, when the information specifying unit specifies the subject information as the special subject information, the adjacent subject information is sorted by two or more; or the case may be switched in reverse order.

It is to be noted that in the present embodiment, the number of subject information is described as an example. In the actual image capturing operation, the number of subjects is large, and the effect by the embodiment of the present invention is remarkable.

Similarly, for complex devices or situations where multi-angle shooting is required, the subject information (parts or angles) that need to be taken separately can be pre-stored to store the relevant subject information and its sorting order, so as to avoid omission of the photographed part.

As described above, based on the plurality of pieces of subject information to which the sorting order is added, the subject information and the image obtained by specifying the special subject information and the special subject information are displayed on the display unit 4 are used. Using the specially displayed subject indication information as the indication information of the currently photographed subject, the recognition of the subject or the device identification card reduces the case of erroneous shooting; when the recording instruction operation is performed, the response is made. Recording instruction operation, correlating the specified image data with the information of the specified special subject information, and performing switching instruction operation, that is, switching the specified special subject information in a sorting order, and displaying the special object In a manner, the subject instruction information obtained by the information specifying unit switching the specified special subject information is displayed. The purpose of prompting the user to photograph the subject currently in accordance with the sorting order is achieved, and the wrong path or disorder is greatly reduced, ensuring that no omission is made; thereby improving the efficiency of shooting, reducing the work intensity, and simplifying the operation. Through the display of the statistical shooting progress information, the user can arrange the shooting process reasonably. In summary, Embodiment 1 is a preferred embodiment, and of course, it is not necessarily required to achieve all of the advantages described above while implementing any of the embodiments of the present invention.

Example 2

In the present embodiment, in the video device 13 having the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 1, in the flash memory 9, a control program for the user to set the filter condition and a control program for determining the subject information based on the filter condition are stored. ; and, in response to the regulation indication operation (for example, one-button operation), perform recording and switching control programs that specify special subject information. This shooting task is to take a picture of the subject in the substation 1 whose subject type is device I. This embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 11 to 16 .

In step S201, the control unit 10 performs control to continuously monitor whether the user has selected the information mode through the operation unit 11, and when it is detected that the user has selected the information mode, the process proceeds to step S202.

Step S202, setting a filter condition; In the present embodiment, the control unit 10 controls the display unit to display the setting interface as shown in FIG. 12; the display unit 4, the operation unit 11, and the control unit 10 constitute an example of the task setting unit.

The task setting unit is configured to set a filtering condition, where the filtering condition is composed of a keyword and a filtering logical relationship related to the filtering condition.

The task setting unit has a keyword determining unit, a logic determining unit, and a filtering condition generating unit, wherein the keyword determining unit is configured to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition; and the logic determining unit is configured to determine the filtering condition a filtering logic relationship of the keyword; a filtering condition generating unit, configured to generate a filtering condition according to the keyword related to the filtering condition and the specified filtering logic relationship.

A keyword related to a filter condition, which may be a keyword or multiple keywords; wherein, multiple keywords include a case representing a range of keywords, such as a range of numbers, a range of letters, a range of sort orders, a time range, etc. . In addition, when the subject information has a belonging unit related to the subject, a classification level (such as a voltage level, an important level, etc.), a model, a manufacturer, a performance and characteristics, a history of past shooting or overhaul, a date of manufacture, When various information such as the expiration date is used, the keyword can be determined by setting a keyword, but the information is not necessarily used to generate the object indication information that is specifically displayed.

A keyword determining unit is configured to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition; for example, one or more of the following embodiments may be combined to determine a keyword related to the filtering condition.

An embodiment, such as a pre-stored keyword, determines a keyword related to the filter condition based on the user's selection. When the subject information as shown in Fig. 5 is stored in the information storage unit, the keyword to be selected can be pre-stored, and the keyword selected by the user can be determined as the keyword related to the filter condition.

An embodiment, such as a default keyword related to a filter condition.

In one embodiment, for example, a keyword is entered by a user, and a keyword entered by the user is determined as a keyword related to the filter condition.

An embodiment, for example, providing a selection of a keyword attribute for selection, and determining a keyword that matches the keyword attribute as a keyword related to the filter condition based on the keyword attribute selected by the user; When the partial subject information has the attribute information of the specific attribute, and the other part of the subject information does not have the attribute information of the specific attribute, the subject information can be conveniently filtered.

In a preferred embodiment, based on the subject information stored in the information storage unit, a keyword for obtaining attribute information of a predetermined attribute in the subject information is queried, and a keyword related to the filter condition is determined based on the user's selection.

Specifically, the control unit 10 controls the display unit 4 to display the filter condition setting interface as illustrated in FIG. 12, and the key of the keyword query configured to represent the attribute information of the specified attribute, such as the substation 1203, the device area 1204, and the device type 1205. Word menu item. When the subject information shown in FIG. 14 is stored in the information storage unit, the control unit 10 inquires the subject information stored in the information storage unit based on the device type 1205 selected by the user based on the current "device I". , the keyword "device I, device II, device 111..." which obtains the attribute information of the specified attribute (device type), causes the display list 1206, from which the user selects "device I", the keyword determining unit, determines "Device I" is a keyword related to the filter condition. Here, the display unit 4, the operation unit 11, and the control unit 10 constitute an example of a task setting unit. In this embodiment, when the number of types of attribute information of the subject information is large, the operation becomes cumbersome.

In another preferred mode, the keyword determining unit determines the keyword query condition, and queries the attribute information of the specified attribute in the object information that satisfies the keyword query condition based on the object information stored in the information storage unit. key a word, and determining a keyword related to the filter condition based on the user's selection; wherein the keyword query condition is one or more of the previously determined keywords related to the filter condition.

Specifically, when the subject information shown in Fig. 14 is stored in the information storage unit, unlike the case of Fig. 4, subject information of some other substations is also included. The control unit 10 causes the display unit 4 to display the filter condition setting interface in the setting operation as shown in the example of FIG. 13. After the user selects the substation 1303 through the operation unit 11, the control unit 10 queries based on the subject information stored in the information storage unit. The keyword of the attribute information of the substation attribute is displayed in the display list 1306; the user selects "Substation 1" from which the control unit 10 determines "Substation 1" as the keyword related to the filter condition; and then, when the device type 1305 is selected, The control unit 10 determines the "Substation 1" selected by the user as a keyword search condition, and queries the keyword of the attribute information of the device type attribute conforming to the subject information of "Substation 1", so that the display list 1307 "Device I, The device II, the device 111", from which the user selects the device type "device I"; the control unit 10 determines "substation 1" and "device I" as keywords related to the filter condition. Obviously, in this way, the number logic determining unit of the selected keyword will be simplified for determining the filtering logical relationship of the keyword related to the filtering condition; the filtering logical relationship may be when the keyword related to the filtering condition is a keyword , the filtering of the keyword is non-relational; when the keyword related to the filtering condition is multiple keywords, it is a combination of the AND, OR, non-logical relationship and filtering non-relationship between the multiple keywords; filtering is a non-relationship and The logical relationship between keywords can be default or can be determined based on user settings.

An example of a keyword, such as the keyword related to the filter condition is a keyword "device I", as shown in Figure 12, the "Yes" 1201 and "Non" 1202 options for shooting conditions, used to set the filter to be non-relational; "Yes", the filter condition generated by the keyword "Device I" is used for subsequent search and determination of the object information conforming to "Device I" as a shooting task; when "Non" is selected, the keyword "Device I" is combined. The generated filter condition is used for subsequent lookups to determine object information that matches non-"Device I". In this example, the logic determination unit determines the filter yes or no relationship as "yes" according to the default filter yes or no relationship. Then, when the user makes a determination by the operation unit 11, the filter condition generation unit (control unit 10) generates a filter condition in combination with the default filter "Yes" in conjunction with the keyword "device I" selected by the user. When the task is determined, the subject information matching the keyword "device I" is searched for as the determined subject information.

Examples of multiple keywords, such as the keywords related to the filter condition are "Substation 1", "Device I", as shown in Figure 13, the logic determination unit determines whether the filter is a non-relational relationship based on the default filter is "Yes" Yes, and, the logic determination unit determines the logical relationship between the keywords "Substation 1" and "Device I" as "AND" according to the default logical relationship (the keyword of the different attribute is "with" relationship) and "And"; When the user makes a determination by the operation unit 11, the filter condition generation unit (control unit 10) combines the keywords "substation 1" and "device I" related to the filter condition with the default logical relationship "and", in combination with the default Filtering is a non-relational "yes", generating a filter condition. When the task is determined, the subject information that matches the keyword "Substation 1" and conforms to "Device I" is found as the determined subject information.

The generated filter condition is recorded in the temporary storage unit 6, or recorded in the flash memory 9 or the like (for example, a configuration profile) as a subsequent use.

In step S203, the task determination unit is configured to determine the subject information from the subject information stored in the information storage unit, and the determined subject information is used to specify the special subject information therefrom, which can be understood as shooting. The subject information contained in the task.

For example, "Substation 1" and "Device Area 1" are used as filter conditions. When the information storage unit stores the subject information as shown in FIG. 14, the object information matching the keyword "Substation 1" and conforming to "Device I" is found. As the determined subject information. The determined object information is as shown in Fig. 15, wherein the number of shooting tasks of the device is reduced, compared to the other substations, "device area 2", and "device 11", "device 111" before the task is determined. Go to "6".

Obviously, the shooting path for a specific shooting task is simplified, and the user looks at the information of the device area in the object indication information, thereby avoiding the search for "device I" in "device area 2" and reducing the work intensity.

Further, step S202 is not necessary, and the task determining section may determine the subject information that meets the filtering condition based on the pre-stored filtering conditions; for example, the task determines an embodiment that still exists, such as when the flash memory 9 (or the memory card) 8) Pre-stored a plurality of data files (when each data file includes object information to which a sort order is attached), providing a user to select a data file, and selecting a subject in the data file selected by the user The information is determined as the subject information included in the photographing task; in addition, the subject information may be determined based on the user's selection of the plurality of subject information.

Step S204, the special subject information is designated; the information specifying unit is configured to designate the subject information as the special subject information from among the plurality of subject information determined by the task specifying unit.

The control unit 10 controls, in the determined plurality of pieces of subject information, the subject information "substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" located in the first order of the added sorting order, as the special subject information, and proceeds to the step S205.

Step S205, the image data obtained by the imaging unit 1 is transmitted to the temporary storage unit 6. The image processing unit 2 performs predetermined processing on the image data captured by the imaging unit 1 to obtain image data of the image, and stores the image data in the temporary storage unit 6.

In step S206, the subject indication information and the image obtained by the special subject information are simultaneously displayed on the display unit 4.

In step S207, the control unit 10 determines whether there is a prescribed instruction operation (e.g., pressing the record key), and if not, repeats the steps of steps S205-S207, and if yes, proceeds to step S208. The operation of recording and switching can be performed by one-button operation, and the control unit 10 can also be based on predetermined conditions; for example, when it is judged that the predetermined time interval is met, for example, when a trigger signal of another sensor device connected to the thermal image device 13 is detected, etc. The predetermined conditions automatically enter the following steps even if there is no prescribed instruction from the operation unit 11. The predetermined conditions include that even if the operation of the operation unit 11, for example, the recording instruction operation is performed, the following steps are performed when other predetermined conditions are satisfied at the same time, for example, a predetermined time interval or a trigger signal is received. Obviously, the prescribed conditions may be various conditions that are pre-configured.

Step S208, recording processing.

The control unit 10 associates the predetermined image data with the information of the specified subject information "Substation 1 device area 1 device I C phase" in association with each other; the recording processing is similar to the description in the first embodiment, and is not repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S209, the control unit 10 determines whether the task is completed.

If it is completed, this information indicates that the shooting mode shooting ends, returns to the standby state of the image device 13, and waits for the user to enter another mode of operation. If not, the process returns to step S204, and the specified special subject information is switched based on the sort order added by the subject information determined by the task determining unit.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the information specifying unit (control unit 10) increments the sequence number of the sort order corresponding to the specific subject information specified before the switching, and then determines whether or not the last one of the sorting order is completed, if not completed. Then, (in the plurality of subject information determined by the task determination unit shown in FIG. 15), the object information corresponding to the sort order number obtained by adding the sort order number plus one is searched, and the found object to be found is found. The information is designated as special subject information. If it is not found, it continues to increment by 1 and continues to search until it is found; and so on; when the judgment is completed, it ends.

In another embodiment, the determined subject information is temporarily added with the sequence numbers of 1, 2, 3... in the order of sorting, and then the sequence number of the subject information specified before the switching is incremented by 1, to determine whether the temporary serial number is completed. The last one in the middle, if not completed, searches for the corresponding subject information after the serial number is incremented by 1, and specifies the special subject information, and if the judgment is completed, it ends. Similar to the embodiment 1, it is not necessary to judge whether or not the designation of the last subject information is completed. When the flow returns to step S204, the information specifying unit switches the specified special subject information based on the sorting order of the subject information added by the task determining unit.

Here, the specified special subject information is switched. In a preferred embodiment, the information specifying unit sets the specified single subject information as the special subject information by the pre-switching as the special subject information. The single subject information "substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" is switched to, the subject information specified as the special subject information before the switching is in the sorting sequence sequence (the subject information determined by the task determining portion) The next subject information in the sort order sequence "Substation 1 Device Area 1 Device IB Phase".

Further, the information specifying unit switches the single subject information as the special subject information specified by the subject information specified as the special subject information before the switching to the special subject specified before the switching. The subject information of the volume information is the previous subject information in the sort order sequence (the sort order sequence of the subject information determined by the task determining section). Switching based on the sort order may be the order or reverse order of the sort order sequence.

Further, when the information specifying unit specifies the subject information as the special subject information, and sorts the adjacent subject information by two or more; the information specifying unit specifies the specified subject information as the special subject information. The number of adjacent subject information is sorted, and the adjacent subject information is sorted by a predetermined number specified as the special subject information before switching, and switched to the subject specified as the special subject information before the switching. The information sorts the adjacent subject information by the next subject information in the sort order sequence (the sort order sequence of the subject information determined by the task determining section) as the initial prescribed number. In addition, there may be cases where switching is performed in reverse order.

In this embodiment, when the user photographs the device I in the device area 1, it will go to the device I in the shooting device area 3, avoiding the searching of the device I in the device area 2, as shown in the device area in FIG. The shooting path of 1 (1601), device area 2 (1602), and equipment area 3 (1603) is changed from L10 in Fig. 10 to L16 in Fig. 16.

In this embodiment, the task setting is performed after entering the information mode; however, the task setting may be separately performed, and then enter the information mode, for example, the filtering condition or the object information determined according to the filtering condition and the sorting order thereof are recorded in the information. In the storage section, for subsequent use. In addition, multiple task settings can be made. In addition, the filter condition setting step and the task determination step are stated in a step-by-step manner, but may also be configured as an immediate progressive process, that is, when one of the filter conditions is set, the task determination unit performs the subject information according to the filter condition. It is determined that when the setting is completed, the task determination unit completes the determination of the subject information according to the filter condition; when the setting is determined, the process of the specified step of the special subject information is entered. Obviously, more implementations are available for different combinations.

In addition, in this embodiment, there is a single button (such as a recording key) configured to perform a prescribed indication operation (representing the recording instruction operation and the switching instruction operation being the same operation), and a corresponding control program, in response to the prescribed instruction operation of the button (If the same operation is performed) or a predetermined condition, the control unit 10 continuously performs the control of the recording process of step S208 and the switching process of step S209, thereby making the operation simpler. In this embodiment, the recording process is first performed, and then the switching process is performed, such as recording "substation 1 device area 1 device IC phase" first, and then switching to "substation 1 device area 1 device IB phase"; but it is also possible to perform switching processing first. , that is, switching to "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment IB phase", and then recording the specified special object information "Substation 1 equipment area 1 equipment IC phase" before the switching with the specified image data; Recording department response This is also the case when the recording instruction operation or the recording condition is specified, and the information relating to the specified image data is associated with the specified special subject information.

In order to correctly describe the internal working principle and steps, a step-by-step description is adopted in the embodiment, but in the actual implementation process, different implementation manners may be used to optimize the operation for the convenience of the user, for example, based on the same (Secondary) operation and / or continuous recording and switching according to specified conditions, can make the operation more convenient, the same operation For example, the same operation action on the same button may complete the above-described multiple steps (such as completing the record indication operation and the switch instruction operation); for example, different operation actions in the same operation of the same button (such as half) Pressing and fully pressing), the different operation actions in the same operation respectively implement one or more steps described above (such as completing the recording indication operation and the switching instruction operation respectively, or simultaneously completing the recording indication operation and the switching instruction operation) For example, the operation actions of different buttons within a specified time (for example, the recording instruction operation and the switching instruction operation may be respectively completed, or the recording instruction operation and the switching instruction operation may be completed simultaneously). More implementations are available by performing a combination of different switching instruction operations and recording instruction operations, such as a combination of functions of key functions, operational actions, and the like. Moreover, the above operation is not limited to a button, and may be performed by other operating members such as a touch screen.

Preferably, the method further includes a freeze control unit that freezes and displays the image in response to the freeze instruction operation or according to the predetermined freeze condition. For example, when the recording key (assuming that the freezing instruction operation is executed first) is pressed, the image is frozen and displayed (the freezing display step is performed before the recording processing step), and the user can confirm the recording after recording, and then record. To ensure the quality of the shot.
