no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0021] Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 .

[0022] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the main configuration of an image pickup device 10 according to the present embodiment. In addition, the image pickup device 10 is a device having a function of capturing an image with an image sensor (for example, a digital camera, a scanner, a copier, a portable information terminal with a digital camera, etc.). In the first embodiment, for the sake of simplification, the case where the image pickup device 10 is a digital camera will be described.

[0023] In Fig. 1, the imaging unit 101 is a unit that generates image data of an image captured by an image sensor; the imaging control unit 102 is a unit that controls the operation of the imaging unit 101 according to instructions from the main control unit 110, and controls focus, aperture, zoom; the camera control unit 102 provides information about the image data generated in the ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0050] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5 to 7 .

[0051] In the second embodiment, an image pickup device that judges whether or not the image file corresponding to the selected reduced image data has verification data is also judged whether it is protected, and will show the judgment The resulting information (Marker 2, Marker 3 and Marker 4) are displayed in the same position (area X).

[0052] FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on display unit 109 when the image display mode is the 1-image display mode. Area 0 is an area for displaying reduced image data read out from the removable memory 106 . Area A is an area displaying information on image data corresponding to the reduced image data of the selected area (ie, area 0). The area X within the area A is an area displaying the mark 2 in FIG. 7C , the mark 3 in FIG. 7D , or the mark 4 in FIG. 7E .

[0053] FIG. 7B is a diagram sho...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0084] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 .

[0085] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing main components of an image pickup device 1010 according to the third embodiment. The image pickup device 1010 is a device (a digital camera, a scanner, a copying device, a portable device with a digital camera, etc.) that has a function of capturing a digital image with an image sensor. In addition, in this third embodiment, the case where the image pickup device 1010 is a digital camera is also described.

[0086] The camera unit 1101 uses an image sensor to take digital images. The image processing unit 1102 converts the size of the digital image obtained from the imaging unit 1101 into a predetermined size, and develops the digital image converted into the predetermined size. In this embodiment, adjusting at least one of the white balance, brightness, hue, color saturation, and color space of a digital image according to preset...

Abstract

This invention notifies a user whether authentication data is added to an image file. The invention determines whether authentication data is added to an image file corresponding to reduced image data displayed in a selection area (S202). If authentication data is added, mark 1 is displayed in area X (S203). If no authentication data is added, nothing is displayed in area X (S204).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image pickup device that notifies a user of information about an image file. Background technique [0002] In recent digital cameras, it is possible to display information on image files in a removable memory on a display. [0003] However, among digital cameras in recent years, there is no digital camera capable of notifying the user whether or not an image file in a removable memory has authentication data. Therefore, sometimes, image files are mistakenly deleted despite having authentication data. Furthermore, the verification data is data required for verification processing of whether or not the image data within the image file has been changed. [0004] In addition, in recent digital cameras, there is no technical solution that considers how to display information indicating whether an image file contains verification data on a limited screen. Contents of the invention [0005] The present invention has be...
