It becomes possible.
　以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について説明する。なお、これはあくまでも一例であって、本発明の技術的範囲はこれに限られるものではない。 Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. This is merely an example, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to this.
　本発明の撮影者特定システムは、スマートデバイスの操作部分やディスプレイ画面に撮影者が指をあてることで読み取りを行う指紋読取機能を利用して撮影者の特定を行うシステムである。スマートデバイスとは、デジタルカメラ、スマートフォン、タブレット、およびスマートグラス、ウェラブル端末などのカメラ機能を有するデバイスのことを言う。好適な実施形態としては、スマートデバイスのカメラ撮影ボタンが、指紋読取を行うデバイスと同一であるために、撮影と同じタイミング（撮影のために指を触れたタイミング）で、ほぼ同時に、撮影と指紋読取が行われることが望ましい。 The photographer identification system according to the present invention is a system for identifying a photographer by using a fingerprint reading function for performing reading by placing a finger on the operation part of a smart device or a display screen. A smart device refers to a device having a camera function, such as a digital camera, a smartphone, a tablet, and a smart glass or a wearable terminal. In a preferred embodiment, since the camera shooting button of the smart device is the same as the device that performs fingerprint reading, the shooting and fingerprint are almost simultaneously performed at the same timing as shooting (touching a finger for shooting). It is desirable that reading be performed.
　撮影者特定システムは、制御部が所定のプログラムを読み込むことで実現される、画像取得手段、指紋情報取得手段、指紋情報解析手段、撮影者特定手段、記憶手段、を備える。また同様に、埋込手段、情報表示手段、認証手段、署名受付手段、署名表示手段、著作権管理手段、を備えてもよい。これらは、スマートデバイスにインストールされるアプリケーションで実現されてもよいし、一部をネットワーク経由のコンピュータで実現するネットワークで実現（二つ以上の手段が別のコンピュータで実現されるクラウド型でもよい）されてもよい。上述の各手段が、単独のコンピュータで実現されてもよいし、２台以上のコンピュータ（例えば、サーバと端末のような場合）で実現されてもよい。 The photographer identification system includes an image acquisition unit, a fingerprint information acquisition unit, a fingerprint information analysis unit, a photographer identification unit, and a storage unit, which are realized by a control unit reading a predetermined program. Similarly, an embedding unit, an information display unit, an authentication unit, a signature reception unit, a signature display unit, and a copyright management unit may be provided. These may be realized by an application installed on a smart device or a network partially realized by a computer via a network (may be a cloud type in which two or more means are realized by another computer). May be. Each means described above may be realized by a single computer or may be realized by two or more computers (for example, a server and a terminal).
　画像取得手段は、スマートデバイスのカメラで撮影された画像を取得する。ここで、取得するとは、スマートデバイスのカメラで読み取られた画像をスマートデバイス自身の他のモジュールが取得することであってもよいし、スマートデバイスが取得した画像を他のコンピュータがネットワーク経由で取得することであってもよい。 The image acquisition means acquires an image taken with the smart device camera. Here, the acquisition may be that another module of the smart device itself acquires an image read by the camera of the smart device, or another computer acquires an image acquired by the smart device via a network. It may be to do.
　指紋情報取得手段は、撮影がされた時に、指紋読取機能で読み取られた指紋情報を取得する。指紋の取得は、撮影のシャッターボタンを押す際に、指紋情報を同時に読み取ることが望ましく、この場合は、撮影がされた時に読み取られた指紋情報なので、指紋情報が撮影者と一致すると判断できる。同様に、ここで、取得するとは、スマートデバイスのカメラで読み取られた画像をスマートデバイス自身が取得することであってもよいし、スマートデバイスが取得した画像を他のコンピュータがネットワーク経由で取得することであってもよい。 The fingerprint information acquisition unit acquires the fingerprint information read by the fingerprint reading function when shooting is performed. In order to acquire a fingerprint, it is desirable to read the fingerprint information at the same time when the shooting shutter button is pressed. In this case, since the fingerprint information is read at the time of shooting, it can be determined that the fingerprint information matches the photographer. Similarly, here, acquisition may mean that the smart device itself acquires an image read by the camera of the smart device, or another computer acquires an image acquired by the smart device via a network. It may be.
　指紋情報解析手段は、取得された指紋情報を解析する。指紋解析のアルゴリズムは、指紋の模様の特徴点を抽出することで解析する。例えば、中心点、三角州、端点、分岐点、などの特徴点を抽出して解析する。ＡＩ（人工知能）を利用して機械学習で指紋解析の精度を上げてもよい。例えば、指紋情報を解析する際に、予め教師データとして、撮影者と指紋情報（例えば、指紋の画像等）が学習されたデータから、撮影者を特定してもよい。さらに、ＡＩ（人工知能）、深層学習等で画像解析の精度を上げてもよい。 Fingerprint information analysis means analyzes the acquired fingerprint information. The fingerprint analysis algorithm analyzes by extracting feature points of a fingerprint pattern. For example, feature points such as a center point, a delta, an end point, and a branch point are extracted and analyzed. The accuracy of fingerprint analysis may be increased by machine learning using AI (artificial intelligence). For example, when analyzing fingerprint information, the photographer may be specified from data in which the photographer and fingerprint information (for example, a fingerprint image) are previously learned as teacher data. Furthermore, the accuracy of image analysis may be increased by AI (artificial intelligence), deep learning, or the like.
　撮影者特定手段は、解析に結果に基づいて、撮影者を特定する。特定のアルゴリズムは、指紋情報が登録されている指紋データベースと照合して撮影者を特定してもよい。指紋データベースは、内部のデータベースであってもよいし、外部のデータベースであってもよい。 The photographer specifying means specifies the photographer based on the result of the analysis. The specific algorithm may identify the photographer by checking against a fingerprint database in which fingerprint information is registered. The fingerprint database may be an internal database or an external database.
　記憶手段は、取得された画像と、特定された撮影者と、を関連付けて記憶する。例えば、対応表などのようなもので記憶する。 The storage means stores the acquired image and the specified photographer in association with each other. For example, it is stored as a correspondence table.
　埋込手段は、記憶された画像の情報に、記憶された撮影者の情報を埋め込む。例えば、画像データに撮影者データを埋め込む。画像データを読み込むことで、撮影者データも読み込むことができるので、画像と撮影者とを１対１対応が可能となる。ここで、撮影者データは、撮影者の氏名やユーザＩＤに加えて、撮影者の所属組織、家族等の付加的なデータを含んでよい。これらの付加的なデータは、このスマートデバイス、又はネットワーク経由して接続されたコンピュータに記憶されたデータベースに、撮影者の氏名やユーザＩＤに対応付けられて記憶されており、これらを参照して、撮影者データが読み取られる。 The embedding unit embeds the stored photographer information in the stored image information. For example, the photographer data is embedded in the image data. By reading the image data, the photographer data can also be read, so that the image and the photographer can be in one-to-one correspondence. Here, the photographer data may include additional data such as a photographer's organization and family in addition to the photographer's name and user ID. These additional data are stored in correspondence with the name and user ID of the photographer in a database stored in the smart device or a computer connected via a network. The photographer data is read.
　情報表示手段は、記憶された外側画像に、記憶された撮影者の情報（撮影者データ）を表示する。例えば、外側画像に、撮影者の氏名に加えて、付加的なデータである所属組織などが表示される。ここで、一例として、誰が撮影したかを画像に明らかに表現するため、絵画の作成者を示す署名のように、画像の撮影者を示す署名になるような情報（署名情報）を表示してもよい。つまり、サインとなる署名情報を表示することで、誰が画像を撮影したのかを署名として示すことで、他人に撮影者を明確に意識させることが可能となる。 The information display means displays the stored photographer information (photographer data) on the stored outer image. For example, in addition to the name of the photographer, the affiliated organization as additional data is displayed on the outer image. Here, as an example, in order to clearly express who photographed in the image, information (signature information) that becomes a signature indicating the photographer of the image is displayed like a signature indicating the creator of the painting. Also good. In other words, by displaying the signature information as a signature, it is possible to clearly show the photographer to other people by showing who has taken the image as a signature.
　認証手段は、記憶された結果に基づいて、特定された撮影者の認証を行う。例えば、認証の結果、認証されなかった場合に前記記憶された画像を削除し、認証された場合に前記記憶された画像を維持する。認証のアルゴリズムは、指紋認証リストなどを照合して認証をしてもよい。指紋認証リストは、内部のリストであってもよいし、外部のリストであってもよい。 The authentication unit authenticates the specified photographer based on the stored result. For example, if the authentication is not successful, the stored image is deleted, and if the authentication is successful, the stored image is maintained. As an authentication algorithm, authentication may be performed by checking a fingerprint authentication list or the like. The fingerprint authentication list may be an internal list or an external list.
　署名受付手段は、認証された撮影者から、署名の入力を受け付ける。 The signature accepting unit accepts a signature input from an authenticated photographer.
　署名表示手段は、受付された署名を、記憶された画像に表示する。例えば、絵画の作成者の署名のように、画像に撮影者の署名を表示する。つまり、署名を表示することで、誰が画像を撮影したのかを明確にすることが可能となる。 The signature display means displays the received signature on the stored image. For example, the photographer's signature is displayed on the image, like the signature of the creator of the painting. That is, displaying the signature makes it possible to clarify who has taken the image.
　著作権管理手段は、記憶された撮影者データ及び付加的なデータに基づいて、画像の著作権の管理を行う。画像と、特定された撮影者と、が関連付けて記憶されているので、特定された撮影者以外のユーザが、外側画像を加工、編集した場合や、複製を行った場合に、この加工・編集ソフトが、撮影者とユーザの情報を比較して、警告を行ってもよい。
[動作の説明] The copyright management means manages the copyright of the image based on the stored photographer data and additional data. Since the image and the specified photographer are stored in association with each other, this processing / editing is performed when a user other than the specified photographer processes and edits the outside image or makes a copy. The software may perform warning by comparing information of the photographer and the user.
[Description of operation]
　次に、撮影者特定方法について説明する。上述の各手段で説明が重複するが、工程として説明が必要な部分のみ、補足的に説明する。スマートデバイスの指紋読取機能を利用して撮影者の特定を行う。スマートデバイスとは、デジタルカメラ、スマートフォン、タブレット、およびスマートグラス、などのカメラ機能を有するデバイスのことを言う。 Next, the method for identifying the photographer will be described. Although the description is duplicated in each of the above-described means, only the portions that need to be explained as processes will be supplementarily explained. The photographer is identified using the fingerprint reading function of the smart device. A smart device refers to a device having a camera function, such as a digital camera, a smartphone, a tablet, and a smart glass.
　撮影者特定方法は、画像取得ステップ、指紋情報取得ステップ、指紋情報解析ステップ、撮影者特定ステップ、記憶ステップ、を備える。また、埋込ステップ、情報表示ステップ、認証ステップ、署名受付ステップ、署名表示ステップ、著作権管理ステップ、を少なくとも備える。 The photographer identification method includes an image acquisition step, a fingerprint information acquisition step, a fingerprint information analysis step, a photographer identification step, and a storage step. Further, it includes at least an embedding step, an information display step, an authentication step, a signature reception step, a signature display step, and a copyright management step.
　画像取得ステップは、スマートデバイスのカメラで撮影された画像を取得する。 In the image acquisition step, an image captured by the smart device camera is acquired.
　指紋情報取得ステップは、撮影がされた時に、指紋読取機能で読み取られた指紋情報を取得する。撮影がされた時に読み取られた指紋情報なので、指紋情報が撮影者と一致する。 The fingerprint information acquisition step acquires the fingerprint information read by the fingerprint reading function when shooting is performed. Since the fingerprint information is read when the image is taken, the fingerprint information matches the photographer.
　指紋情報解析ステップは、取得された指紋情報を解析する。指紋解析のアルゴリズムは、指紋の模様の特徴点を抽出することで解析する。例えば、中心点、三角州、端点、分岐点、などの特徴点を抽出して解析する。ＡＩ（人工知能）を利用して機械学習で指紋解析の精度を上げてもよい。 The fingerprint information analysis step analyzes the acquired fingerprint information. The fingerprint analysis algorithm analyzes by extracting feature points of a fingerprint pattern. For example, feature points such as a center point, a delta, an end point, and a branch point are extracted and analyzed. The accuracy of fingerprint analysis may be increased by machine learning using AI (artificial intelligence).
　撮影者特定ステップは、解析に結果に基づいて、撮影者を特定する。特定のアルゴリズムは、指紋情報が登録されている指紋データベースと照合して撮影者を特定してもよい。指紋データベースは、内部のデータベースであってもよいし、外部のデータベースであってもよい。 The photographer identification step identifies the photographer based on the result of analysis. The specific algorithm may identify the photographer by checking against a fingerprint database in which fingerprint information is registered. The fingerprint database may be an internal database or an external database.
　記憶ステップは、取得された画像と、特定された撮影者と、を関連付けて記憶する。例えば、対応表などのようなもので記憶する。 In the storing step, the acquired image and the specified photographer are stored in association with each other. For example, it is stored as a correspondence table.
　埋込ステップは、記憶された画像の情報に、記憶された撮影者の情報を埋め込む。例えば、画像データに撮影者データを埋め込む。画像データを読み込むことで、撮影者データも読み込むことができるので、画像と撮影者とを１対１対応が可能となる。 In the embedding step, the stored photographer information is embedded in the stored image information. For example, the photographer data is embedded in the image data. By reading the image data, the photographer data can also be read, so that the image and the photographer can be in one-to-one correspondence.
　情報表示ステップは、記憶された（埋め込まれた）画像に、記憶された撮影者の情報を、可視できる状態で合成しておき、記憶された画像を表示する際に、あわせて、撮影者の情報を表示する。例えば、画像を表示すると、あわせて、撮影者の氏名や所属組織などが表示される。絵画の作成者を示す署名のように、画像の撮影者を示す署名の代わりになるような情報を表示する。つまり、署名の代わりになるような情報を表示することで、誰が画像を撮影したのかを明確にすることが可能となる。 The information display step synthesizes the stored photographer information with the stored (embedded) image in a visible state, and displays the stored image together with the photographer's information. Display information. For example, when an image is displayed, the photographer's name and organization are also displayed. Information such as a signature indicating the creator of the picture is displayed instead of the signature indicating the photographer of the image. That is, by displaying information that can be used instead of a signature, it is possible to clarify who has taken the image.
　認証ステップは、記憶された結果に基づいて、特定された撮影者の認証を行う。例えば、認証の結果、認証されなかった場合に前記記憶された画像を削除し、認証された場合に前記記憶された画像を維持する。認証のアルゴリズムは、指紋認証リストなどを照合して認証をしてもよい。指紋認証リストは、内部のリストであってもよいし、外部のリストであってもよい。 In the authentication step, the identified photographer is authenticated based on the stored result. For example, if the authentication is not successful, the stored image is deleted, and if the authentication is successful, the stored image is maintained. As an authentication algorithm, authentication may be performed by checking a fingerprint authentication list or the like. The fingerprint authentication list may be an internal list or an external list.
　署名受付ステップは、認証された撮影者から、署名の入力を受け付ける。 The signature acceptance step accepts an input of a signature from an authenticated photographer.
　署名表示ステップは、受付された署名を、記憶された画像に表示する。例えば、絵画の作成者の署名のように、画像に撮影者の署名を表示する。つまり、署名を表示することで、誰が画像を撮影したのかを明確にすることが可能となる。 In the signature display step, the received signature is displayed on the stored image. For example, the photographer's signature is displayed on the image, like the signature of the creator of the painting. That is, displaying the signature makes it possible to clarify who has taken the image.
　著作権管理ステップは、記憶された結果に基づいて、画像の著作権の管理を行う。画像と、特定された撮影者と、が関連付けて記憶されているので、著作権を明確に管理することが可能となる。著作権の侵害を発見した場合には、侵害した者に対して警告を行う機能を有してもよい。 In the copyright management step, the copyright of the image is managed based on the stored result. Since the image and the specified photographer are stored in association with each other, the copyright can be clearly managed. If a copyright infringement is found, it may have a function of warning a person who has infringed.
　上述した手段、機能は、コンピュータ（ＣＰＵ、情報処理装置、各種端末を含む）が、所定のプログラムを読み込んで、実行することによって実現される。プログラムは、例えば、コンピュータにインストールされるアプリケーションであってもよいし、コンピュータからネットワーク経由で提供されるＳａａＳ（ソフトウェア・アズ・ア・サービス）形態であってもよいし、例えば、フレキシブルディスク、ＣＤ（ＣＤ－ＲＯＭなど）、ＤＶＤ（ＤＶＤ－ＲＯＭ、ＤＶＤ－ＲＡＭなど）等のコンピュータ読取可能な記録媒体に記録された形態で提供されてもよい。この場合、コンピュータはその記録媒体からプログラムを読み取って内部記憶装置または外部記憶装置に転送し記憶して実行する。また、そのプログラムを、例えば、磁気ディスク、光ディスク、光磁気ディスク等の記憶装置（記録媒体）に予め記録しておき、その記憶装置から通信回線を介してコンピュータに提供するようにしてもよい。 The means and functions described above are realized by a computer (including a CPU, an information processing apparatus, and various terminals) reading and executing a predetermined program.
