Benefits of technology
Enhances convenience and versatility by allowing dynamic control over location information privacy, preventing unintended exposure and ensuring secure handling of private location data across different usage contexts.
Problems solved by technology
However, the technique has problems that the capturing condition is not clear and that the status of the image information is fixed at the time of image capturing.
Moreover, “encryption” is one of effective ways of preventing leaking of information, but there still remains the possibility that the encrypted information can be analyzed, that is, there remains risk of leaking of the contents.
However, this cannot be predicted or determined at the time of image capturing.
Also, even if determination on the encryption is made at the time of image capturing, that determination may be wanted to be changed later or may be forgotten so that the information is open to public by mistake.
This lowers versatility of the image information.

Embodiment Construction
[0026]FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an image viewer system 9 including a digital camera 1 as an imaging device according to the present invention. The image viewer system 9 includes the digital camera 1 and a viewer device 7 and is arranged as a system in which image information (described later) created by the digital camera 1 can be viewed with the viewer device 7.
[0027]Referring to FIG. 1, the digital camera 1 is arranged to be connected to the viewer device 7 via a detachable cable 90, e.g., a USB cable. Thus, while the digital camera 1 is connected to the viewer device 7 via the cable 90, data can be communicated between the digital camera 1 and the viewer device 7. Information transfer between the digital camera 1 and the viewer device 7 can be also carried out via a detachable portable storage medium 91. Data communication between the digital camera 1 and the viewer device 7 may be wireless communication, e.g., Wi-Fi communication, although it is not shown in FIG. 1.

An imaging device for capturing an image of a subject to acquire captured-image information, comprises: a positioning element to measure a location at which the image is captured and to acquire capturing location information indicating a capturing location when the captured-image is acquired; a creation element to create image information based on the acquired capturing location information; a memory element to store the created image information; a decision element to, when the image information stored in the memory element is output to outside, decide whether the capturing location information included in the image information is to be kept secret; and a fabricator element to fabricate the capturing location information included in the image information based on a result of the decision by the decision element.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 081,057 filed Apr. 6, 2011, which claims priority to Japanese Application No. 2010-102987 filed Apr. 28, 2010. The entire content of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 081,057 is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a technique for processing image information which includes information related to a capturing location.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]There are proposed techniques for adding information related to a capturing location to image information obtained by an imaging device having a GPS function such as a digital camera. The image information with the information on the capturing location can be used for various applications using the capturing location. This usage of the image information draws attention as a new way to have fun with the image information...
