[1.1.システム構成]
まず、図1を参照して、本開示の第1の実施形態に係る情報処理システムの概略構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の概略的なシステム構成の一例について説明するための説明図である。
次に、図3を参照して、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の機能構成の一例について説明する。図3は、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の機能構成の一例について示したブロック図である。図3に示すように、情報処理端末10は、制御部11と、通信部13と、UI15とを含む。また、撮像装置30は、制御部31と、通信部33と、撮像部35と、記憶部37と、操作部39とを含む。
次に、図4を参照して、本実施形態に係る情報処理端末10のハードウェア構成の一例について説明する。図4は、本実施形態に係る情報処理端末10のハードウェア構成の一例を示した図である。
以上、第1の実施形態として、図1~図4を参照して、主に、本開示に係る情報システムの各種構成に着目して説明した。なお、以降では、本開示に係る情報処理システムの操作画面と、情報処理端末10と撮像装置30との間の画像の転送に係る処理とのそれぞれの詳細について、第2及び第3の実施形態として説明する。
[2.1.概要]
次に、第2の実施形態として、前述した第1の実施形態にて説明した情報処理システム1により、画像を撮像するための操作画面の一例について説明する。本実施形態では、情報処理端末10等にUIとして設けられたタッチパネルを介した操作のように、GUIを介して、撮像装置30等の所謂デジタルカメラに、複数の静止画像を一連の画像として撮像させるための操作画面の一例について説明する。
まず、図7を参照して、本実施形態に係る操作画面として、表示部151に表示されたGUIを介した操作により、撮像装置30に、AF機能を動作させたうえで複数の静止画像を一連の画像として撮像させるための操作画面の一例について説明する。図7は、GUIを介した操作により、撮像装置30に、AF機能を動作させたうえで複数の静止画像を一連の画像として撮像させるための操作画面の一例について説明するための説明図である。なお、以降の説明では、情報処理端末10の表示部151の短尺方向をx軸、長尺方向をy軸として説明する。即ち、図7では、図面の横方向がx軸に相当し、図面の縦方向がy軸に相当する。
次に、図12と前述した図8とを参照して、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の一連の処理の流れの一例について、撮像装置30に、AF機能を動作させたうえで複数の静止画像を一連の画像として撮像させる場合(即ち、連写モード)を例に説明する。図12は、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の一連の処理の流れの一例について説明するための説明図である。
図8の左側の図に示すように、ユーザが指等の操作体u11により、初期位置v120に位置する表示オブジェクトv11を選択し(例えば、タッチし)、当該選択状態を保持したものとする。このとき、情報処理端末10は、表示オブジェクトv11に対するホールド操作を検知し、当該ホールド操作の検知に伴い、ネットワークn11を介して接続された撮像装置30に対して、AF機能に伴う焦点位置の制御を指示する。
撮像装置30は、ネットワークn11を介して接続された情報処理端末10から、焦点位置の制御が指示されると、あらかじめ決められたAF機能の設定に基づき、撮像光学系及び撮像素子を介して取得した画像v70中のフォーカス位置v60を決定する。そして、撮像装置30は、AF機能を動作させることで、決定した当該フォーカス位置v60で合焦するように撮像光学系の焦点位置を制御する。
次いで、図8の中央の図に示すように、ユーザが、選択状態が保持された表示オブジェクトv11を、位置v121に向けてスライドするように移動させたものとする。このとき、情報処理端末10は、表示オブジェクトv11を位置v121に向けて移動させるスライド操作を検知し、当該スライド操作の検知に伴い、表示オブジェクトv11を位置v121に移動させる。そして、初期位置v120からの表示オブジェクトv11の移動に伴い、情報処理端末10は、撮像装置30に対して、所定の動作モード(例えば、連写モード)に基づく動作の開始を指示する。
撮像装置30は、情報処理端末10から、所定の動作モードに基づく動作の開始が指示されると、当該動作モードに基づき撮像部35の動作の制御を開始する。具体的な一例として、当該動作モードが、複数の静止画像を一連の画像として撮像させる動作モード(例えば、連写モード)の場合には、撮像装置30は、あらかじめ決められたシャッタースピードに基づき、撮像部35に、静止画像を逐次撮像させる。なお、撮像装置30は、開始した所定の動作モードに基づく撮像部35の動作の制御を、当該動作モードに基づく動作の終了が指示されるまで継続する。
そして、図8の右側の図に示すように、ユーザが、位置v121に位置する表示オブジェクトv11を再度初期位置v120に移動させたものとする。このとき、情報処理端末10は、表示オブジェクトv11を位置v121に向けて移動させるスライド操作を検知し、当該スライド操作の検知に伴い、表示オブジェクトv11を初期位置v120に移動させる。そして、初期位置v120への表示オブジェクトv11の移動に伴い、情報処理端末10は、撮像装置30に対して、継続中の所定の動作モードに基づく動作(即ち、従前に開始を指示した動作)の終了を指示する。
撮像装置30は、情報処理端末10から、所定の動作モードに基づく動作の終了が指示されると、継続中の当該動作モードに基づく撮像部35の動作の制御を終了する。具体的な一例として、撮像装置30は、連写モードに基づき撮像部35の動作を制御する場合には、あらかじめ決められたシャッタースピードに基づき静止画像を逐次撮像する撮像部35に対して、当該静止画像の撮像に係る動作の終了を指示する。
<<2.4.1.実施例2-1:スライドスイッチの一例>>
次に、実施例2-1として、本実施形態に係るスライドスイッチv10の他の一例について図13、図14、及び、図15A~図15Cを参照して説明する。
次に、実施例2-2として、撮像装置30側の操作部39が操作された場合における、情報処理端末10による、スライドスイッチv10の表示制御の一例について説明する。
以上説明したように、本実施形態に係る情報処理端末10は、撮像装置30を操作するためのインタフェースとして、スライドスイッチv10(例えば、図7及び図8参照)が表示された操作画面を、表示部151を介してユーザに提示する。このとき、スライドスイッチv10は、所定の方向に沿って設定された初期位置v120と当該初期位置v120以外の他の位置v121との間を、表示オブジェクトv11が当該所定の方向に沿って移動可能に構成されている。
[3.1.概要]
次に、第3の実施形態として、撮像装置30により撮像された画像を情報処理端末10に転送する場合における処理の一例について説明する。
次に、図19を参照して、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の一連の処理の流れの一例について、撮像装置30により撮像された画像が情報処理端末10に転送される処理に着目して説明する。図19は、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1の一連の処理の流れの一例について説明するための説明図である。
撮像装置30は、情報処理端末10から、継続中の所定の動作モードに基づく動作(例えば、連写モードに基づく動作)の終了が指示されると、継続中の画像の撮像に係る処理を終了し、撮像された一連の画像(即ち、複数の静止画像)を、例えば、記憶部37等の記録媒体に保持または記録する。
そして、撮像装置30は、情報処理端末10からの指示に基づき一連の画像の撮像を終了すると、撮像された一連の画像それぞれのサムネイル画像を生成し、生成した一連のサムネイル画像を、ネットワークn11を介して情報処理端末10に転送する。
情報処理端末10は、撮像装置30から一連のサムネイル画像を取得すると、取得した当該サムネイル画像それぞれを選択可能に、表示部151に表示させる。
情報処理端末10は、表示部151を介して提示した一連のサムネイル画像v31のうち、少なくとも一部のサムネイル画像に対する選択をユーザから受け付ける。
この指示を受けて、撮像装置30は、撮像された一連の画像(即ち、一連のサムネイル画像の生成元である画像)のうち、ユーザにより選択されたサムネイル画像v33に対応する画像v33’
を抽出し、抽出した画像v33’を情報処理端末10に転送する。
次に、実施例3として、撮像装置30により撮像された動画像を情報処理端末10に転送する場合の一例について説明する。
以上、説明したように、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1は、撮像装置30により撮像された一連の画像のうち、ユーザにより選択された画像のみを縮小せずに、撮像装置30から情報処理端末10に転送することが可能となる。そのため、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1は、撮像装置30により撮像された一連の画像すべてを縮小せずに情報処理端末10に転送する場合に比べて、撮像装置30と情報処理端末10との間のトラフィックが軽減される。即ち、本実施形態に係る情報処理システム1は、撮像装置30と情報処理端末10との間で、撮像された画像を効率よく転送することが可能となる。
以上、添付図面を参照しながら本開示の好適な実施形態について詳細に説明したが、本開示の技術的範囲はかかる例に限定されない。本開示の技術分野における通常の知識を有する者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された技術的思想の範疇内において、各種の変更例または修正例に想到し得ることは明らかであり、これらについても、当然に本開示の技術的範囲に属するものと了解される。
