Problems solved by technology

The camera can only be used after providing a sound that prompts others to do so, so users cannot secretly take pictures of other people
However, if the shutter sound is output every time the OCR function is used, the sound may annoy the user

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Preferred embodiments of information processing apparatuses such as cellular phones, PHS, PDAs, and laptop computers or hand-held personal computers will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In all drawings, the same structural elements will be provided with the same reference signs.

[0019] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing device 10 .

[0020] The input unit 101 includes a shutter button, a power button, and a plurality of keys including numeric keys. A user operates the input unit 101 to input various information such as an image acquisition command requesting the camera 103 to acquire an image, a power on / off command, a telephone number and a mail address, and the like. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 102 controls the components of the information processing apparatus 100 by executing programs stored in the memory 104 .

[0021] The camera 103 converts the captured object into...

Abstract

An information processing apparatus that comprises a camera that outputs picture information, a selector which selects one mode of the camera from a plurality of modes including an ordinary image-taking mode to take a picture as an ordinary camera function and a recognition mode to recognize a character included in a picture information output by the camera, and a speaker that outputs a notification sound. The information processing apparatus includes a CPU that executes control so that ,when a shutter button is operated by a user to operate the camera, the speaker outputs the notification sound at a first output level if the ordinary image-taking mode is selected, and the speaker does not output the notification sound or outputs the notification sound at a second output level lower than the first output level if the recognition mode is selected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device such as a cellular phone, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a laptop computer or a handheld personal computer, and an information processing method used in the device and the software used in the device. Background technique [0002] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-252691 discloses a portable telephone terminal capable of inputting printed information such as addresses, telephone numbers and URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function. [0003] However, the above-mentioned document does not describe a method of processing the shutter sound. [0004] A cellular phone with a camera is disclosed in Japan. The cellular phone can output a shutter sound in order to prevent the user from misusing the camera when taking pictures. The camera can only be used after providing a sound prompting others to do s...
