DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the disclosed technology will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that components having the same functions in the drawings are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0011] [Photography data processing system and method] As shown in FIG. 1, the photographic data processing system includes a digital camera 1 and an information terminal 2.

[0012] Digital camera 1 may be a digital camera primarily for taking still images, or a digital video camera primarily for taking moving images. Digital camera 1 may be connectable to the Internet via information terminal 2. Digital camera 1 may also be connectable directly to the Internet.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the digital camera 1 includes a decision receiving unit 11 and a transmission unit 12, for example.

[0014] The information terminal 2 may be a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet, etc., or may be an information device such as a PC, etc. The information terminal 2 is assumed to have a function for connecting to the Internet.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the information terminal 2 includes a storage unit 21, a confirmation unit 22, a processing unit 23, and a change unit 24, for example.

[0016] The imaging data processing method is realized, for example, by each component of the imaging data processing system performing the processes from step S11 to step S23 shown in FIG.

[0017] [[Digital Camera 1]] As described above, the digital camera 1 includes a decision receiving unit 11 and a transmission unit 12, for example.

[0018] The decision receiving unit 11 receives a decision regarding photographic data captured by a digital camera, which is made by a single user operation after the photographic data is displayed or selected (step S11). The "single user operation" refers to an operation after the photographic data is displayed or selected, and does not include an operation of displaying or selecting the photographic data.

[0019] Information about the determined photographing data is transmitted to the transmitting unit 12.

[0020] The photographic data may be image data or video data.

[0021] The decision accepted by the decision accepting unit 11 is a decision to perform processing on the photographic data. When a decision made by a single operation by the user is accepted while the photographic data is displayed or selected, the displayed or selected photographic data is decided.

[0022] An example of the decision receiving unit 11 is the button HB shown in Fig. 3. The button HB is implemented as hardware in the digital camera 1. When the user presses the button HB while photographic data is displayed or selected on the display D of the digital camera 1, the photographic data displayed or selected on the display D is decided.

[0023] Another example of the decision receiving unit 11 is the button DB illustrated in FIG. 3. The button DB is a button implemented by software on the display D1 of the digital camera 1. The display D1 is, for example, a touch panel. For example, when photographic data is displayed or selected on the display D1, the button DB is displayed on the display D1. When the user touches the button DB while photographic data is displayed or selected on the display D1, the photographic data displayed or selected on the display D1 is decided.

[0024] In the example of FIG. 3, both the button HB and the button DB are implemented, but only one of them may be implemented.

[0025] The number of pieces of photographic data determined by the determination receiving unit 11 may be two or more. For example, when two or more pieces of photographic data are displayed or selected, and a determination made by a single operation by the user is received, the two or more pieces of photographic data that are displayed or selected are determined.

[0026] The transmitting unit 12 transmits the photographing data determined by the user and processing information indicating the processing to be performed on the photographing data (step S12). The photographing data determined by the user can be identified from the information about the determined photographing data received by the transmitting unit 12 from the determination receiving unit 11.

[0027] The transmission by the transmission unit 12 may be performed wired or wirelessly. As the wireless technology, for example, existing technologies such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and Wi-Fi (registered trademark) can be used. For example, information required for a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection (SSID, password, etc.) is exchanged between the digital camera 1 and the information terminal 2 via wireless communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection is established. Thereafter, the transmission unit 12 transmits the captured data and processing information wirelessly using Wi-Fi (registered trademark). When the transmission is performed wired, the transmission is performed via, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus). The transmission by the transmission unit 12 may be performed in the foreground or in the background.

[0028] The photographing data transmitted to the transmitting unit 12 may include metadata related to the photographing data. Examples of the metadata include, when the photographing data is image data, the photographing date and time, location information, photographing direction, manufacturer and distributor of the digital camera 1, model name of the photographing device of the digital camera 1, resolution of the entire image, resolution per unit in the horizontal and vertical directions, shutter speed, aperture (F-number), ISO sensitivity, metering mode, whether or not a flash was used, exposure correction step value, and focal length. At least one of color space and thumbnail (e.g., 160x120 pixels).

[0029] An example of the processing information is an action ID corresponding to a predetermined process. The action ID may be a predetermined character string. An example of the action ID is the character strings such as "action 1" and "action 2" listed in the leftmost column of the table in FIG. 5 described later. Note that the metadata may be included in the processing information instead of the shooting data.

[0030] The processing information does not include information regarding authentication in a predetermined service performed via the Internet.

[0031] The digital camera 1 may further include a setting unit 13 that sets the processing information to be transmitted by the transmission unit 12. The setting unit 13 sets, for example, processing information selected by a user as the processing information to be transmitted by the transmission unit 12. An example of the setting unit 13 is the processing information selection area R1 displayed on the display D1 shown in FIG. 4. In the example of FIG. 4, three pieces of processing information, namely, "default," "action 1," and "action 2," are displayed in the selection area R1. The user can select desired processing information from the processing information displayed in the selection area R1 by touching it. In the example of FIG. 8, the processing information "default" is selected. It is assumed that the setting of the processing information by the setting unit 13 is performed in advance before the decision receiving unit 11 receives a decision regarding the captured data. After the decision receiving unit 11 receives a decision regarding the captured data, the transmission unit 12 transmits the processing information set by the setting unit 13.

[0032] The transmitter 12 may transmit the photographing data and the processing information at the same time or at different times. For example, the transmitter 12 may transmit the photographing data and the processing information so that the time at which the photographing data is transmitted and the time at which the processing information is transmitted are within a predetermined time.

[0033] [[Information Terminal 2]] The storage unit 21 stores at least one process for each piece of processing information.

[0034] The processing for the processing information may be any processing that is performed on the photographic data.

[0035] An example of the processing of the processing information is processing in a predetermined service that requires authentication performed over the Internet, such as posting in a social networking service.

[0036] Other examples of processing of processing information include uploading to a server using a protocol such as FTP, printing, sending to another information terminal, signing, launching an editing app, live streaming using captured data, executing a script predetermined by the user, and executing a predetermined program on an external server. Examples of executing a predetermined program on an external server include generating a model by deep learning using captured data and performing inference processing using a model generated by deep learning.

[0037] Another example of processing of the processing information is editing of the photographed data, such as resizing, cropping, framing an image, binarizing, adjusting color, inserting text into the photographed data, inserting an image into the photographed data, changing the data format of the photographed data, and saving the photographed data.

[0038] For example, the table shown in Fig. 5 is stored in the storage unit 21. In the table shown in Fig. 5, processes "app_action 1" and "app_action 2" are associated with process information "action 1." Furthermore, processes "crop_1000_1000," "black_white," and "sns A_share" are associated with process information "action 2."

[0039] "app_action 1" and "app_action 2" each represent an application for performing processing on the processing information, as exemplified above.

[0040] The process "crop_1000_1000" is a process for cropping the captured image data to a 1000px x 1000px image. "black_white" is a process for converting the captured image data into black and white binary data. "sns A_share" is a process for posting the captured image data to social network service A. As in this example, at least one process for the processing information may be auxiliary information for performing that process.

[0041] After receiving the photographic data and the processing information, the confirmation unit 22 checks with the user whether it is okay to perform at least one process corresponding to the processing information on the photographic data, which is obtained by referring to the memory unit 21 (step S22).

[0042] When at least one process corresponding to the processing information obtained by referring to the storage unit 21 includes a process of posting on a social network service, a final confirmation of the posting on the social network service may be displayed on the display D2 of the information terminal 2, as illustrated in Fig. 6. The display of the final confirmation of the posting on the social network service is an example of confirmation by the confirmation unit 22.

[0043] The display D2 is, for example, a touch panel. In this example, the display for final confirmation of posting includes photographed data P and predetermined text T. The photographed data P may be the photographed data itself received from the digital camera 1, or, if at least one process of the processing information includes an editing process for the photographed data, it may be post-edited photographed data, which is photographed data after editing the photographed data received from the digital camera 1. The process for generating this post-edited photographed data may be performed by the confirmation unit 22 or the processing unit 23.

[0044] As in this example, when there are multiple processes corresponding to the processing information, the confirmation unit 22 may perform some of the multiple processes (in the above example, the editing process) without user confirmation, and may only require user confirmation for other of the multiple processes (in the above example, the posting process).

[0045] The text T may be included in at least one process corresponding to the processing information, which is stored in the storage unit 21. In other words, the confirmation unit 22 may refer to the storage unit 21, acquire the text T included in the at least one process corresponding to the processing information, and display it together with the captured data P. Note that the text T may be included in the processing information transmitted by the transmission unit 12 of the digital camera 1.

[0046] When at least one process corresponding to the processing information obtained by referring to the storage unit 21 includes a process for posting to any social network service, a screen prompting the user to confirm which social network service the posting process will be performed on may be displayed on the display D2 of the information terminal 2, as illustrated in Fig. 7. Displaying a screen prompting the user to confirm which social network service the posting process will be performed on is another example of confirmation by the confirmation unit 22.

[0047] In the example of FIG. 7, below the photographed data P, a plurality of icons A representing each social network service are displayed.

[0048] When at least one process corresponding to the processing information obtained by referring to the storage unit 21 includes an editing process on the photographed data, a screen prompting the user to confirm whether or not to perform the editing process on the photographed data may be displayed on the display D2 of the information terminal 2, as illustrated in Fig. 8. Displaying a screen prompting the user to confirm whether or not to perform the editing process on the photographed data is another example of confirmation by the confirmation unit 22.

[0049] In the example of Fig. 8, text T1 indicating the editing content is displayed together with the photographic data P. In the example of Fig. 8, the text T1 indicating the editing content is "Would you like to perform editing called Y?"

[0050] If the number of pieces of imaging data determined by the determination receiving unit 11 is two or more, two or more pieces of imaging data may be displayed in FIGS.

[0051] After obtaining the user's confirmation, the processing unit 23 performs at least one process corresponding to the processing information obtained by referring to the storage unit 21 on the captured data (step S23). The processing unit 23 may execute the at least one process corresponding to the processing information sequentially or asynchronously. If the at least one process corresponding to the processing information includes auxiliary information for executing the process, the processing unit 23 may execute the process using the auxiliary information.

[0052] In the example of Figure 6, when the user touches the area labeled "Post" in the upper right corner of the display for final confirmation of posting, the processing unit 23 determines that the user's confirmation has been obtained, and posts the photographed data P and the specified text T to the social network service.

[0053] In the example of FIG. 7, when the user touches any of the icons A, it is determined that the user's confirmation has been obtained, and the processing unit 23 performs a process of posting the photographed data P to the social network service corresponding to the touched icon A.

[0054] In the example of FIG. 8, when the user touches the area marked "OK" in the upper right corner of the display for final confirmation of posting, it is determined that the user's confirmation has been obtained, and the processing unit 23 performs editing processing on the photographed data P.

[0055] In addition, if the confirmation unit 22 has obtained user confirmation for the edited photographed data, the processing unit 23 may perform processing on the edited photographed data in a specified service that requires authentication and is provided via the Internet.

[0056] In this way, the user can determine the photographic data with a single operation and then only need to confirm the processing for the photographic data, thereby enabling the user to perform the predetermined processing with a procedure simpler than before.

[0057] The change unit 24 can change at least one process for each piece of processing information stored in the storage unit 21. For example, the change unit 24 receives a request from a user to change at least one process for each piece of processing information. The change unit 24 changes at least one process for each piece of processing information in accordance with the request from the user. The change unit 24 may change at least one process for each piece of processing information stored in the storage unit 21 in accordance with a program read from an external server.

[0058] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, assume that the processes "crop_1000_1000", "black_white", and "sns1_share" are associated with the processing information "action 2". In this case, the change unit 24 may associate the processes "image framing" and "waiting to share" with the processing information "action 2" instead of the above processes. "Image framing" is an editing process of adding a frame to an image. "Waiting to share" is a posting process in any of the social network services described with reference to FIG. 7.

[0059] By making it possible to change at least one process for each piece of processing information stored in the storage unit 21, it becomes easy to expand functions and improve user convenience. For example, even if the conditions for using a predetermined service that requires authentication and is performed over the Internet change, the user can use the predetermined service that requires authentication and is performed over the Internet by setting the new conditions as at least one process for each piece of processing information in the change unit 24.

[0060] Furthermore, by performing the function extension realized by the change unit 24 in the information terminal 2 rather than in the digital camera 1, the manufacturing costs of the digital camera 1 and the maintenance costs of the firmware for the digital camera 1 can be reduced.

[0061] Conventionally, the protocol used between digital camera 1 and information terminal 2 has placed emphasis on the transfer of photographed data. For this reason, it has been difficult to conceive of transmitting processing information, which is information indicating the processing that information terminal 2 will perform on photographed data, from digital camera 1 to information terminal 2. One of the key points of this invention is that it has realized this concept under these circumstances.

[0062] [Variations] The specific configurations of the embodiments of the disclosed technology are not limited to those described above, and the specific configurations of the embodiments of the disclosed technology can be appropriately modified in design, etc., within the scope of the spirit of the embodiments of the disclosed technology.

[0063] For example, the decision receiving unit 11 may be configured with two or more buttons. Different processing information may be assigned to each of the two or more buttons. In this case, the transmitting unit 12 transmits to the information terminal 2 the processing information corresponding to the button operated by the user.

[0064] For example, as shown in Fig. 9, it is assumed that two button DBs implemented by software on a display D are the decision receiving unit 11. It is assumed that the button DB labeled A1 is assigned processing information called action 1, and the button DB labeled A2 is assigned processing information called action 2.

[0065] In this case, when the user presses the button DB marked A1 while photographed data is displayed or selected on the display D, the photographed data displayed or selected on the display D is determined. Then, the transmission unit 12 transmits the photographed data determined by the user and processing information called action 1 corresponding to the button DB marked A1 to the information terminal 2. On the other hand, when the user presses the button DB marked A2 while photographed data is displayed or selected on the display D, the photographed data displayed or selected on the display D is determined. Then, the transmission unit 12 transmits the photographed data determined by the user and processing information called action 2 corresponding to the button DB marked A2 to the information terminal 2.

[0066] The various processes described in the embodiments of the disclosed technology may not only be performed chronologically in the order described, but may also be performed in parallel or individually depending on the processing capacity of the device performing the processes or as needed.

[0067] For example, data may be exchanged directly between components of the imaging data processing system, or may be exchanged via a storage unit (not shown).

[0068] Furthermore, a device (terminal) for using the device, system, or method of the present invention via a network (telecommunications line) may also be provided. The "device (terminal) for use" may be provided with functions (e.g., control function, decoding function, restoration function, input / output function, etc.) necessary to obtain the effects of implementing the device, system, or method of the present invention.

[0069] It goes without saying that other modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0070] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.

[0071] [Programs, recording media] The functions performed by the components described herein may be implemented in circuitry or processing circuitry, including general-purpose processors, application-specific processors, integrated circuits, ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), a CPU (a Central Processing Unit), conventional circuits, and / or combinations thereof, programmed to perform the described functions. A processor includes transistors and other circuits and is considered to be circuitry or processing circuitry. A processor may also be a programmed processor that executes programs stored in memory.

[0072] In this specification, a circuitry, unit, or means is hardware that is programmed to realize or performs the described functions, which may be any hardware disclosed herein or any hardware known to be programmed to realize or perform the described functions.

[0073] If the hardware is a processor considered to be a type of circuitry, the circuitry, means, or unit is a combination of the hardware and software used to configure the hardware and / or processor.

[0074] The various processes described above can be implemented by loading a program that executes each step of the above method into the recording unit 2020 of the computer 2000 shown in Figure 10, and operating the control unit 2010, input unit 2030, output unit 2040, display unit 2050, etc.

[0075] The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, which may be, for example, a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, a semiconductor memory, or any other suitable recording medium.

[0076] The program may be distributed, for example, by selling, transferring, lending, etc. a portable recording medium such as a DVD or CD-ROM on which the program is recorded. Furthermore, the program may be stored in a storage device of a server computer, and then transferred from the server computer to another computer via a network, thereby distributing the program.

[0077] A computer that executes such a program may first temporarily store the program recorded on a portable recording medium or transferred from a server computer in its own storage device. Then, when executing a process, the computer reads the program stored on its own recording medium and executes the process in accordance with the read program. Alternatively, the computer may read the program directly from a portable recording medium and execute the process in accordance with the program. Furthermore, the computer may execute the process in accordance with the program each time a program is transferred from a server computer to the computer. The server computer may not transfer the program to the computer, but may instead execute the process through a so-called ASP (Application Service Provider) service, which realizes the processing function by issuing an execution instruction and obtaining the results. Furthermore, the server computer may execute the process on a terminal using a so-called SaaS (Software as a Service) service, which allows users to use part of the server computer along with the program. In this embodiment, the program includes information used for computer processing that is equivalent to a program (such as data that is not a direct instruction to the computer but has properties that define computer processing).

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the device is configured by executing a predetermined program on a computer, but at least a part of the processing contents may be realized by hardware.
