Embodiment Construction

[0018] An apparatus having an imaging function according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification, embodiments of the device with imaging function will be described by taking videophone, surveillance camera and driving recorder as examples, but the device according to the present invention should not be limited to these examples. For example, the present invention can be applied to a digital device with image input function, such as a mobile phone with a camera, an intercom device with a camera, etc.; the camera is, for example, a digital camera or a video camera. In addition, the present invention can also be applied to personal computers, mobile computers, portable information terminals, peripheral devices of these devices such as mice, scanners, printers, etc., and devices in which imaging functions are added.

[0019] When the device with imaging function is moved, the position of its camera screen ...

Abstract

A device having an imaging function includes: a camera portion to capture optically an image of an object and to output the image as an image data; a display portion to perform an image displaying using the image data from the camera portion; and a control portion to decide a representative figure by extracting features of the image from the image data of a whole photographed screen and to control the display portion so that if a position of the representative figure is changed, the display portion performs an image displaying to which a process corresponding to the change is applied. If the change of device position can be detected from the photographed screen, it is possible to correct the covered area such that the part not to display does not come off the covered area, and it is also possible to report the change of the device position as occurrence of abnormal circumstances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device with imaging function, and more particularly to a digital device with image capturing function, which uses imaging elements such as videophones, surveillance cameras, driving recorders, etc. to capture images of target objects. Background technique [0002] In devices with imaging functions, such as videophones, it is necessary to restrict the display of specific camera images in order to ensure security or protect privacy. To meet this need, a videophone is proposed in JP-A-H08-032945 that employs a structure that closes the camera cover to prevent image input when a specified condition is not met. However, with this structure, the videophone cannot handle the situation that a part of a part of the photographed screen is not intended to be displayed. For example, it is not possible to display a camera image while only covering the caller's clothes or the caller's background. [0003] The above-mentioned prob...
