The imaging system 10 includes an imaging device (camera body) 100 and a lens device 101 that is detachable from the imaging device 100. However, this embodiment is not limited to this, and it is also applicable to an imaging device in which the camera body and the lens are integrally configured. 【0013】 The imaging device 100 includes a lens connection part 102, a lens information acquisition part 103, an imaging part 104, a lens control part 105, a determination part (angle control determination part) 106, a preset control part 107, a preset storage part 108, and a display control part 109. The imaging device 100 also includes an angle control part 110, an angle acquisition part 111, an angle drive part 112, an image quality parameter control part 113, a preset display creation part 114, an imaging device control part 120, and a data bus 130. 【0014】 The imaging device control unit 120 is a means for controlling the imaging system 10, and as described later, controls the lens control unit 105, preset control unit 107, display control unit 109, angle control unit 110, and image quality parameter control unit 113. The imaging device control unit 120 has a CPU, memory, and non-volatile memory. The memory consists of, for example, RAM (volatile memory using semiconductor elements). Various programs for the operation of the CPU are stored in the non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory consists of, for example, a hard disk (HD) or ROM. The CPU uses the memory as work memory to control various processes and parts of the imaging device 100, according to programs stored in the non-volatile memory, for example. The CPU also stores image quality parameters such as focus, exposure, white balance, and color settings of the imaging device 100, and camera settings (setting information of the imaging device 100), such as at least one movement limit setting (operation limit range) for zoom, pan, and tilt. The camera settings are also stored in the non-volatile memory. At least one of the movement limit settings for zoom, pan, and tilt may have a state for each lens. Each component is controlled by a program running on the imaging device control unit 120, and performs data input and output between them via the data bus 130. 【0015】 The lens device 101, also called a lens unit, has an imaging optical system comprising a fixed lens, a zoom lens, an aperture (aperture diaphragm), and a focus lens. The aperture is driven by an aperture drive unit and controls the amount of light incident on the image sensor, which will be described later. The focus lens is driven by a focus lens drive unit and adjusts the focus. The zoom lens is driven by a zoom lens drive unit and adjusts the zoom magnification. The lens device 101 may be a lens without a zoom function (a fixed focal length lens). The lens device 101 may also include a teleconverter. 【0016】 The lens connection section 102 can connect the interchangeable lens device 101 to the imaging device 100, and the imaging device 100 and the lens device 101 communicate with each other via the lens connection section 102. In this communication, zoom and focus drive commands are sent to the lens device 101, and data such as the operating status and optical information inside the imaging device 100 and the lens device 101 are sent and received. 【0017】 The lens information acquisition unit 103 is a unit that acquires information (lens information) from the lens device 101 via the lens connection unit 102. The lens information includes, for example, the lens model, the type of lens device (e.g., compound lens, fisheye lens, telephoto lens, etc.), the range of focal lengths including the telephoto and wide-angle ends, information on the presence or absence of a teleconverter, setting information such as switch status, or information on whether or not a lens is attached. 【0018】 The imaging unit 104 is an image sensor such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, which converts captured light into electrical signals. Still images and videos can be stored in a memory unit (not shown) by an image processing circuit (not shown) that performs various image processing on these electrical signals and converts them into video signals. 【0019】 The lens control unit 105 controls the lens device 101 via the lens connection unit 102. When the user performs operations such as aperture, focus, and zoom via the lens control unit 105, it performs control according to the user's operation. In addition, the lens control unit 105 controls the aperture drive unit, focus lens drive unit, and zoom lens drive unit according to the control commands and control information received from the image sensor control unit 120. Furthermore, the lens control unit 105 transmits lens information (for example, manual focus operation information and information about the imaging optical system) to the image sensor control unit 120. 【0020】 The determination unit 106 determines whether at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt (image angle of view) is controllable, that is, whether the operation corresponding to each preset registered item (information related to the image angle of view) is executable. The determination unit 106 can determine whether control corresponding to each preset registered item is possible using either or both of the lens information acquired from the lens information acquisition unit 103 and the camera settings stored in the memory of the imaging device control unit 120. Note that the zoom control determination made by the determination unit 106 may be made not only based on whether zoom is controllable or not, but also only on the type of lens device. 【0021】 The preset control unit 107 acquires the current pan-tilt angle information from the angle acquisition unit 111 in response to control commands and control information received from the imaging device control unit 120. The preset control unit 107 also acquires the current zoom information from the lens information acquisition unit 103. The preset control unit 107 also acquires still images created by the imaging unit 104. The preset control unit 107 also acquires image quality parameters stored in the memory of the imaging device control unit 120. The preset control unit 107 then stores at least one of these as preset information in the preset storage unit 108, which will be described later. 【0022】 Furthermore, if a preset registered by the user via the imaging device control unit 120 is recalled, for example, the preset control unit (acquisition unit) 107 acquires the preset information from the preset storage unit 108. The preset control unit 107 then sends control commands to the angle control unit 110 and the image quality parameter control unit 113 to reproduce the angle position and image quality parameters based on that information. The preset control unit 107 can also exclude items that the determination unit 106 has determined not to control and then send control commands to the angle control unit 110 and the image quality parameter control unit 113 to reproduce the angle position and image quality parameters. 【0023】 A preset refers to a function that allows users to recall desired shooting conditions such as pan, tilt, and zoom, or image quality parameters, or both, by saving them in advance. However, presets also include a trace function. The trace function stores pan, tilt, zoom, etc., performed by the user within a certain period of time in the preset memory unit 108. The trace function recording (trace recording) stored in the preset memory unit 108 can be played back at any time to reproduce the pan, tilt, zoom, etc., performed by the user. In addition to the control information performed by the user within a certain period of time, the trace function also stores the playback start position for playing back the trace recording in the preset memory unit 108. When the user is instructed to move to the playback start position during trace recording playback, the camera moves to the playback start position stored in the preset memory unit 108 and then plays back the trace recording. 【0024】 The preset storage unit 108 has memory and non-volatile memory, and stores a set of preset information in the memory and non-volatile memory according to the control commands and control information received from the preset control unit 107. The memory sends the set of preset information stored in the non-volatile memory to the preset control unit 107. 【0025】 The display control unit 109 acquires the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 114 in accordance with the control commands and control information received from the imaging device control unit 120. The display control unit 109 then edits the display data to be displayed on a display device (display device, display unit, etc.) and controls the display. 【0026】 The angle control unit 110 controls the drive of at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt functions of the imaging device 100 in accordance with control commands and control information received from the imaging device control unit 120. It issues angle drive commands and controls the drive of the angle drive unit 112. 【0027】 The angle acquisition unit 111 acquires the current pan-tilt angle information from the angle control unit 110 and the current zoom information from the lens information acquisition unit 103. 【0028】 The angle drive unit 112 is a drive unit that rotates the imaging device 100 in the pan and tilt directions, or a unit that drives the zoom of the lens device 101 via the lens control unit 105. The angle drive unit 112 can change at least one of the imaging direction and zoom position of the imaging device 100. In addition, the angle drive unit 112 is equipped with a motor for pan rotation and a motor for tilt rotation in order to drive pan and tilt, and these motors rotate to drive the rotation. Furthermore, each motor is equipped with an encoder such as a pulse encoder so that the rotation position of the motor can be detected. 【0029】 The image quality parameter control unit 113 is a means for controlling the image quality parameters of the imaging device 100 in accordance with control commands and control information received from the imaging device control unit 120. 【0030】 The preset display creation unit 114 retrieves the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108 and creates the display content for the preset. At this point, the preset display creation unit 114 can edit the display content of the preset based on the judgment result of the judgment unit 106. 【0031】 Next, we will explain the processing flow executed by the imaging device control unit 120, which controls the imaging device 100. 【0032】 Figure 2 is a flowchart of the process executed when registering a preset in the imaging device control unit 120. The process in the flowchart of Figure 2 is assumed to be realized by the CPU of the imaging device control unit 120, which controls the imaging device 100, executing the program according to this embodiment. All of the process in the flowchart of Figure 2 may be realized by hardware configuration, or some of the process may be performed by hardware configuration and the remaining process by software configuration using a program. The same applies to the processes in each flowchart described later. In the following description, steps S201 to S204 of the flowchart in Figure 2 will be abbreviated as S201 to S204, respectively. In the case of trace recording, the processes S201 to S204 may be performed multiple times in a single trace recording. In this case, it is not necessarily required to perform processes S202 and S203 every time. 【0033】 First, in S201, the imaging device control unit 120 obtains at least one of the current zoom, pan, and tilt positions from the angle acquisition unit 111 and stores it in the preset control unit 107. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S202. 【0034】 When the process proceeds to S202, the imaging device control unit 120 retrieves the image quality parameters stored in its memory and stores them in the preset control unit 107. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S203. 【0035】 When the process proceeds to S203, the imaging device control unit 120 captures an image of the current position from the imaging unit 104 and stores the captured image (still image data) in the preset control unit 107. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S204. Note that the order of processing in S201 to S203 is not particularly limited, and the order of processing in S201 to S203 may be changed, or they may be executed simultaneously (in parallel). 【0036】 When the process proceeds to S204, the imaging device control unit 120 stores at least one position of zoom, pan, and tilt, along with image quality parameters and a still image, which were stored in the preset control unit 107 in S201 to S203, as a set of preset information in the preset storage unit 108. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 finishes the process performed when registering the preset. 【0037】 Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the display process of preset registration contents by the imaging device 100 in this embodiment. Here, in Figure 3, lens information is shown as information about the type of lens, focal length, and SW status of the lens. This process may be performed, for example, when changing lenses, at any time the user chooses, or when the preset information is displayed on a display device. If multiple presets are registered, this process may be performed for each preset. Furthermore, it may be performed for some of the registered presets, or for all of them. In this case, there are no particular limitations on which presets are processed, which are not, or the order in which the processed presets are processed. In the following description, steps S301 to S309 of the flowchart in Figure 3 will be abbreviated as S301 to S309, respectively. 【0038】 First, in S301, the imaging device control unit 120 acquires lens information of the currently mounted lens device 101 from the lens information acquisition unit 103 via the data bus 130. The lens information includes at least one of the following: the focal length range of the lens device 101 (information regarding focal length), information indicating the type of lens device 101, information indicating the SW status of the lens device 101, or information indicating whether or not the lens device 101 is mounted. The information indicating the SW status of the lens device 101 includes, for example, information indicating whether or not the motorized zoom function of the lens device 101 is enabled. If the currently mounted lens is a prime lens, the focal length range will be one value of the focal length of the prime lens, but in this case, the subsequent processing will be performed assuming that the focal length is both the wide end and the telephoto end. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S302. 【0039】 In S302, the imaging device control unit 120 uses the lens information acquired in S301 as a determination criterion to determine whether or not a lens is attached to the imaging device 100. If true, proceed to S303; otherwise, proceed to S306. 【0040】 In S303, the imaging device control unit 120 retrieves information on at least one of the movement limit settings for zoom, pan, and tilt, or at least one of the movement limit settings for zoom, pan, and tilt for each lens, which are stored in the memory of the imaging device control unit 120. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S304. 【0041】 In S304, the imaging device control unit 120 determines whether the imaging device 100 can control at least one of zoom, pan, and tilt, using either or both of the lens information acquired in S301 and the camera settings acquired in S303 as criteria. If lens information is used as criteria, the determination of whether zoom is controllable is made based on at least one of the following conditions: whether the lens is a zoom lens, whether the zoom of the lens is motor-controllable, and whether the SW for motor control of the zoom is automatic. If camera settings are used as criteria, the determination of whether at least one of pan, tilt, and zoom is controllable is made using the movement restriction of at least one of pan, tilt, and zoom, and the movement restriction of at least one of pan, tilt, and zoom for each lens. If true, the process proceeds to S305; otherwise, the process proceeds to S307. 【0042】 In S305, the imaging device control unit 120 uses the preset display creation unit 114 to create the display content for a preset using the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108. The display content created is not particularly limited and may include a list display, summary display, icon display, or thumbnail display if the preset information includes still images. The imaging device control unit 120 then proceeds to S306. 【0043】 In S306, the imaging device control unit 120 displays the preset display content created in the preset display creation unit 114 on a display device (display device, display unit, etc.) via the display control unit 109. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 finishes the process that is executed when displaying the preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0044】 In S307, the imaging device control unit 120 uses the preset display creation unit 114 to create a preset display content that notifies the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108 of the content that was determined to be uncontrollable in S304. Here, the display notifying the content that was determined to be uncontrollable in S304 is not particularly limited and just needs to be different from the preset display content generated in S305. For example, the item itself may be displayed as unoperable, or the color of the item may be changed or hidden. Other examples include displaying an icon, or replacing thumbnail displays with image quality parameters. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to processing in S308. 【0045】 In S308, the imaging device control unit 120 displays the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 114 on a display device or the like via the display control unit 109. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to S309. If the processing in S309 is omitted, the imaging device control unit 120 then terminates the processing that is executed when displaying preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0046】 In S309, the imaging device control unit 120, via the display control unit 109, notifies and displays the reason why control was determined to be denied in S304 for the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108 on a display device or the like. The display to be notified is not particularly limited; the reason may be displayed, an icon of the reason may be displayed, or the reason may be displayed by selecting an object. In this embodiment, the processing in S309 may be omitted. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 finishes the processing that is performed when displaying the preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0047】 Figures 4(A) to 4(E) show examples of the display content of preset information in the zoomable imaging device 100 processed in S306. Figures 4(A) to 4(C) show examples of the preset information displayed by item. Figure 4(D) shows an example of the still image within the preset information being displayed.

In the example in Figures 7(A) to 7(H), an example of the display of preset information when all of panning, tilting, and zooming are uncontrollable is shown, but it is also possible to display information when each of panning, tilting, and zooming is uncontrollable. 【0053】 Figure 7(A) shows an example of a notification indicating that zoom, pan, and tilt cannot be controlled by displaying the message "Zoom, Pan, and Tilt are uncontrollable."

Figure 11 shows an example of the limitations on the pan, tilt, and zoom movement of each lens of the imaging device 100. 【0062】 As described above, according to this embodiment, by displaying information indicating whether or not control is possible for each item of the preset registered in the imaging device, the user can easily understand which items will be activated when the preset is activated. 【0063】 (Second Embodiment) In the second embodiment, an example is described in which the imaging device control unit 120 of the imaging device (information processing device) 100a displays items in which at least one of the pan, tilt, and zoom positions within the preset registered items can be controlled to the preset registered position, and items in which this control is not possible. 【0064】 Figure 12 is a block diagram of the imaging system 10a in this embodiment. The imaging system 10 includes an imaging device (camera body) 100a and a lens device 101 that can be attached to or detached from the imaging device 100a. However, this embodiment is not limited to this and can also be applied to imaging devices in which the camera body and lens are integrally configured. 【0065】 The imaging device 100a of this embodiment differs from the imaging device 100 of the first embodiment in that it has a determination unit (angle reproduction determination unit) 1201 instead of a determination unit (angle control determination unit) 106. In this embodiment, the same configuration as in the first embodiment will not be described. 【0066】 The determination unit 1201 determines whether it is possible to control at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt positions of the preset information stored (registered) in the preset storage unit 108. This determination is made using either or both of the lens information acquired from the lens information acquisition unit 103 and the camera settings stored in the memory of the imaging device control unit 120. 【0067】 Figure 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the display process of preset registration contents by the imaging device 100a in this embodiment. In Figure 13, lens information is shown as information about the type of lens, focal length, and the SW status of the lens. This process may be performed, for example, when changing lenses, at any time the user chooses, or when the preset information is displayed on a display device or the like. 【0068】 If multiple presets are registered, this process may be performed for each preset. Alternatively, it may be performed on some of the registered presets, or on all of them. In this case, there are no particular restrictions on which presets are processed, which are not, or the order in which the processed presets are processed. In the following description, steps S1301 to S1309 of the flowchart in Figure 13 will be abbreviated as S1301 to S1309, respectively. Note that steps S1301 to S1303 and S1305 to S1306 in Figure 13 are the same processes as S301 to S303 and S305 to S306 in Figure 3 described in the first embodiment, so their descriptions will be omitted. 【0069】 In S1304, the imaging device control unit 120 determines whether at least one position of the zoom, pan, or tilt of the imaging device 100a can be controlled (changed) to at least one position of the zoom, pan, or tilt preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108. This determination is made using either or both of the lens information acquired in S1301 and the camera settings acquired in S1303 as criteria. 【0070】 When lens information is used as a determining factor, at least one of the following conditions is used: whether the lens is a zoom lens, whether the lens zoom is controllable by a motor, whether the motor control switch for the zoom is automatic, and whether the preset zoom (focal length) is within the range of the lens's focal length. In other words, the imaging device control unit 120 determines whether it is possible to reproduce and control the preset zoom position based on at least one of these conditions. When camera settings are used as a determining factor, at least one of the pan, tilt, and zoom movement restrictions and at least one of the pan, tilt, and zoom movement restrictions for each lens are used to determine whether at least one of the preset pan, tilt, and zoom is reproducible and controllable. If true, proceed to S1305; otherwise, proceed to S1307. 【0071】 In S1307, the imaging device control unit 120 uses the preset display creation unit 114 to create a preset display content that notifies the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108 of the content for which reproduction control was determined to be impossible in S1304. Here, the display notifying the content for which reproduction control was determined to be impossible in S1304 is not particularly limited and can be anything as long as it is different from the preset display content generated in S1305. For example, the item itself may be displayed as "cannot be reproduced", the color of the item may be changed, or an icon may be displayed. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 proceeds to processing in S1308. 【0072】 In S1308, the imaging device control unit 120 displays the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 114 on a display device or the like via the display control unit 109. If the process in S1309 is omitted, the imaging device control unit 120 then terminates the process that is executed when displaying preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0073】 In S1309, the imaging device control unit 120, via the display control unit 109, notifies and displays the factors that caused the control reproduction to be deemed impossible in S1304 for the preset information stored in the preset storage unit 108 on a display device or the like. The display of the notification is not particularly limited; the factor content may be displayed, an icon of the factor may be displayed, or the factor may be displayed by selecting an object. In this embodiment, the processing in S1309 may be omitted. After that, the imaging device control unit 120 finishes the processing that is performed when displaying the preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0074】 Note that an example of the display content of the preset information in the zoomable imaging device 100a processed in S1306 is the same as in Figures 4(A) to (E). Also, an example of the display content of the preset information in the pan, tilt, and zoomable imaging device 100a processed in S1306 is the same as in Figures 5(A) to (E). 【0075】 Figures 14(A) to (G) show examples of the display content of preset information that notify items in the zoomable imaging device 100a that cannot reproduce the control of the preset zoom position in the processing of S1308. 【0076】 Figure 14(A) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by displaying the message "Zoom cannot be reproduced" in the zoom item. Figure 14(B) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by graying out the zoom item. Figure 14(C) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by displaying the message "Zoom cannot be reproduced" in the still image within the preset information. Figure 14(D) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by graying out the still image within the preset information. 【0077】 Figure 14(E) shows an example of a notification that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by graying out the icon display. Figure 14(F) shows an example of a notification that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by displaying an icon indicating that zoom control is unavailable. Figure 14(G) shows an example of a notification that the preset zoom position control cannot be reproduced by hiding the still image within the preset information. 【0078】 Figures 15(A) to (G) show examples of the display content of preset information in an imaging device 100a capable of pan, tilt, and zoom, where the preset zoom and at least one of the pan and tilt positions cannot be controlled by the processing in S1308. In the example in Figures 15(A) to (G), an example of the display of preset information is shown when all of pan, tilt, and zoom cannot be controlled and reproduced, but it is also possible to display information when each of pan, tilt, and zoom cannot be controlled and reproduced individually. 【0079】 Figure 15(A) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position control cannot be reproduced by displaying the message "Reproducible" for the zoom, pan, and tilt items. Figure 15(B) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position control cannot be reproduced by graying out the zoom, pan, and tilt items. Figure 15(C) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position control cannot be reproduced by displaying the message "Reproducible" for the pan, tilt, and zoom items on a still image within the preset information. Figure 15(D) shows an example of a notification indicating that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position control cannot be reproduced by graying out a still image (captured image) within the preset information. 【0080】 Figure 15(E) is an example of a notification that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position controls cannot be reproduced by graying out the icon display. Figure 15(F) is an example of a notification that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position controls cannot be reproduced by displaying an icon indicating that reproduction is not possible. Figure 15(G) is an example of a notification that the preset zoom, pan, and tilt position controls cannot be reproduced by hiding the still image within the preset information. 【0081】 Figures 16(A) to (F) show an example of a notification of the factors that prevent the reproduction control of the preset zoom position in the imaging device 100a, which is capable of zooming, during processing in S1309. 【0082】 Figure 16(A) shows an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified in text. 1611 is an example of text indicating that the zoom position cannot be reproduced, but is not limited to this example. Figure 16(B) shows an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified using icons. 1621 is an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified using icons in the camera settings, but is not limited to this example. Figure 16(C) shows an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified by selecting an object. 1631 is an example of an object that indicates the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position, and 1632 is an example of how the factors preventing zoom control when manipulating an object in 1631 are displayed, but is not limited to this example. 【0083】 Figure 16(D) shows an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified in text. 1641 is an example of text indicating that the zoom position cannot be reproduced, but is not limited to this example. Figure 16(E) shows an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified using icons. 1651 is an example of how the factors preventing the reproduction of a preset zoom position are notified using icons in the camera settings, but is not limited to this example.

Figure 17(B) shows an example of how the system notifies the user of factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan and tilt position controls using icons. 1721 is an example of how the system notifies the user of factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan position controls using a lens icon, but is not limited to this example. Figure 17(C) shows an example of how the system notifies the user of factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan and tilt position controls by selecting an object. 1731 is an example of an object that indicates factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan position controls, and 1732 is an example of how the system displays factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan position controls when manipulating an object as in 1731, but is not limited to this example. 【0086】 Figure 17(D) shows an example of how the system notifies the user of factors that prevent the reproduction of preset pan and tilt position controls using text. 1741 is an example of text indicating that the system cannot reproduce preset pan and tilt position controls, but is not limited to this example.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the user can easily understand which items allow for reproduction and control of the angle position when the preset is activated. 【0088】 (Third embodiment) The first and second embodiments described methods for displaying preset information using an imaging device. On the other hand, the third embodiment describes a method for displaying preset information using an information processing device. 【0089】 Figure 18 is a block diagram of the information processing device 1800 in this embodiment. The information processing device 1800 includes an information acquisition unit (acquisition unit) 1801, a preset display unit 1802, a determination unit 1803, a preset display creation unit 1804, a control unit 1820, and a data bus 1830. 【0090】 The control unit 1820 includes a CPU, memory, and non-volatile memory. The memory consists of, for example, RAM (volatile memory using semiconductor elements). The non-volatile memory stores various programs necessary for the CPU to operate. The non-volatile memory consists of, for example, a hard disk (HD) or ROM. The CPU uses the memory as work memory to perform various processes according to the programs stored in the non-volatile memory, for example. Each part of the information processing device 1800 is controlled by a program running in the control unit 1820, and performs data input and output between them via the data bus 1830. 【0091】 The information acquisition unit 1801 communicates with the imaging device. During this communication, it receives data such as preset information, lens information, and camera settings stored (registered) in the memory unit of the imaging device. 【0092】 The preset display unit 1802 acquires the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 1804 in accordance with the control commands and control information received from the control unit 1820. The preset display unit 1802 then edits the display data to be displayed on a display device (display device, display unit, etc.) not shown, and controls the display. 【0093】 The determination unit 1803 uses either or both of the lens information and / or camera settings acquired from the information acquisition unit 1801 to determine whether it is possible to control at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt positions of the preset information acquired by the information acquisition unit 1801. In other words, the determination unit 1803 determines whether it is possible to perform the operation (control or reproduction) corresponding to the preset information. 【0094】 The preset display creation unit 1804 acquires the preset information received by the information acquisition unit 1801 and creates the display content of the preset. The preset display creation unit 1804 can also edit the display content of the preset based on the judgment result of the judgment unit 1803. 【0095】 Figure 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the display process of preset registration contents by the information processing device 1800 in this embodiment. In Figure 19, lens information is shown as information about the type of lens, focal length, and the SW status of the lens. This process may be performed, for example, when acquiring information from the imaging device, at any time the user chooses, or when the preset information is displayed on a display device or the like. 【0096】 If multiple presets are registered, this process may be performed for each preset. Alternatively, it may be performed on some of the registered presets, or on all of them. In this case, there are no particular restrictions on which presets are processed, which are not, or the order in which the processed presets are processed. In the following explanation, steps S1901 to S1909 of the flowchart in Figure 19 will be abbreviated as S1901 to S1909, respectively. 【0097】 First, in S1901, the control unit 1820 acquires at least one piece of information (lens information) from the information acquisition unit 1801 via the data bus 1830, which includes the range of the lens's focal length, the type of lens, the SW status of the lens, and whether or not the lens is mounted. After that, the control unit 1820 proceeds to S1902. 【0098】 In S1902, the control unit 1820 uses the lens information acquired in S1901 as a determining factor to determine whether or not a lens is attached to the imaging device. If true, proceed to S1903; otherwise, proceed to S1906. 【0099】 In S1903, the control unit 1820 acquires information (camera settings) from the information acquisition unit 1801, specifically the limit settings for at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt movements, and the limit settings for at least one of the zoom, pan, and tilt movements for each lens. The process then proceeds to S1904. 【0100】 In S1904, the control unit 1820 determines whether the preset angle position can be reproduced, using either or both of the lens information acquired in S1901 and the camera settings acquired in S1903 as criteria. In other words, the control unit 1820 determines whether at least one position of the zoom, pan, and tilt of the imaging device can be controlled (changed) to at least one position of the zoom, pan, and tilt of the preset information acquired by the information acquisition unit 1801. 【0101】 When lens information is used as a criterion, at least one of the following conditions is included: whether the lens is a zoom lens, whether the lens zoom is motor-controllable, whether the motor control switch for zoom is automatic, and whether the preset zoom (focal length) is within the range of the lens's focal length. When camera settings are used as a criterion, at least one movement restriction for pan, tilt, and zoom, and at least one movement restriction for pan, tilt, and zoom for each lens are used to determine whether it is possible to reproduce and control at least one preset pan, tilt, and zoom position. If true, proceed to S1905; otherwise, proceed to S1907. 【0102】 In S1905, the control unit 1820 uses the preset information acquired by the information acquisition unit 1801 to create the display content for the preset using the preset display creation unit 1804. The display content created is not particularly limited and may include a list display of the registered contents of the preset information, an overview display, an icon display, or a thumbnail display if the preset information includes a still image. After that, the control unit 1820 proceeds to S1906. 【0103】 In S1906, the control unit 1820 displays the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 1804 on a display device or the like via the preset display unit 1802. After that, the control unit 1820 terminates the process that is executed when displaying the preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0104】 In S1907, the control unit 1820 uses the preset display creation unit 1804 to create a preset display content that notifies the preset information acquired by the information acquisition unit 1801 of the content for which reproduction control was determined to be impossible in S1904. Here, the display notifying the content for which reproduction control was determined to be impossible in S1904 is not particularly limited and can be anything as long as it is different from the preset display content generated in S1905. For example, the item itself may be displayed as "cannot be reproduced", the color of the item may be changed, or an icon may be displayed. After that, the control unit 1820 proceeds to S1908. 【0105】 In S1908, the control unit 1820 displays the preset display content created by the preset display creation unit 1804 on a display device or the like via the preset display unit 1802. If the process in S1909 is omitted, the control unit 1820 then terminates the process that is executed when displaying preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0106】 In S1909, the control unit 1820, via the preset display unit 1802, notifies and displays the factors that led to the determination in S1904 that reproduction control is not possible for the preset information acquired by the information acquisition unit 1801 to a display device or the like. The display of the notification is not particularly limited; the factor content may be displayed, an icon of the factor may be displayed, or the factor may be displayed by selecting an object. In this embodiment, the process in S1909 may be omitted. After that, the control unit 1820 terminates the process that is executed when displaying the preset information based on the lens information and camera settings of the preset registration content. 【0107】 Note that an example of the display content of preset information in an imaging device that can zoom during processing S1906 is the same as in Figures 4(A) to (E). Also, an example of the display content of preset information in an imaging device that can pan, tilt, and zoom during processing S1906 is the same as in Figures 5(A) to (E). 【0108】 An example of the display content of preset information that notifies the user of items where the control of the preset zoom position in a zoomable imaging device cannot be reproduced in the S1908 process is the same as in Figures 14(A) to (G). Similarly, an example of the display content of preset information that notifies the user of items where the limit control of at least one of the preset zoom, pan, and tilt positions in a pan, tilt, and zoom imaging device cannot be performed in the S1908 process is the same as in Figures 15(A) to (G). 【0109】 An example of the display content of preset information that notifies the cause of the inability to reproduce the preset zoom position in an imaging device capable of zooming during processing S1909 is the same as in Figures 16(A) to (F). Similarly, an example of the display content of preset information that notifies the cause of the inability to reproduce the control of the preset pan and tilt positions in an imaging device capable of pan, tilt, and zooming during processing S1909 is the same as in Figures 17(A) to (F). 【0110】 As described above, in this embodiment, the information processing device displays information indicating whether or not it is possible to reproduce and control at least one of the preset pan, tilt, and zoom positions registered in the imaging device. This allows the user to easily understand which angle position can be reproduced and controlled when the preset is activated. 【0111】 (Other embodiments) The present invention can also be realized by supplying a program that implements one or more of the functions of the above-described embodiments to a system or device via a network or storage medium, and by having one or more processors in the computer of that system or device read and execute the program. It can also be realized by a circuit (e.g., an ASIC) that implements one or more functions. 【0112】 In each embodiment, information indicating whether or not it is possible to reproduce and control at least one of the preset pan, tilt, and zoom positions registered in the imaging device is displayed on the display unit. This allows the user to easily understand which angle position can be reproduced and controlled when the preset is activated, according to each embodiment. 【0113】 Each embodiment of the disclosure includes the following configuration and method.
