[0008] An embodiment of an imaging device, which is an example of an electronic device according to the present invention, will be described below with reference to the drawings. The electronic device is not limited to an imaging device, but may be a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a game machine, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a wearable PC, etc.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of an imaging apparatus.

[0010] The imaging device 1 includes an imaging unit 101, an image processing unit 104, an imaging control unit 105, a microphone 108, a sound processing unit 109, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 111, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 112, an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) 113, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) 114, an operation unit 115, an external device connection I / F 116, a communication unit 117, an antenna 117a, an acceleration / direction sensor 118, and a touch panel 119.

[0011] Of these, imaging unit 101 includes wide-angle lens 102a and wide-angle lens 102b, and two imaging elements 103a and 103b provided corresponding to the wide-angle lenses. Wide-angle lens 102a and wide-angle lens 102b are so-called fisheye lenses, and each has an angle of view of 180° or more for forming a hemispherical image.

[0012] The image sensor 103a and the image sensor 103b each include an image sensor such as a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor or a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor that converts an optical image captured by the wide-angle lens 102a or the wide-angle lens 102b into image data that is an electrical signal and outputs it, a timing generation circuit that generates horizontal or vertical synchronization signals and pixel clocks for the image sensor, and a group of registers in which various commands, parameters, etc. required for the operation of the image sensor are set.

[0013] The imaging elements 103a and 103b of the imaging unit 101 are each connected to the image processing unit 104 via a serial I / F bus. Also, the imaging elements 103a and 103b of the imaging unit 101 are each connected to the imaging control unit 105 via a serial I / F bus (such as an I2C bus).

[0014] The image processing unit 104, the imaging control unit 105, and the sound processing unit 109 are connected to a CPU 111 via a bus 110. Furthermore, the bus 110 is connected to a ROM 112, an SRAM 113, a DRAM 114, an operation unit 115, an external device connection I / F (Interface) 116, a communication unit 117, an acceleration / direction sensor 118, a touch panel 119, and the like.

[0015] The image processing unit 104 takes in image data output from the image sensors 103a and 103b via a serial I / F bus, performs predetermined processing on each piece of image data, and then combines the image data to create equirectangular projection image data.

[0016] The imaging control unit 105 generally sets commands and the like in the register groups of the imaging elements 103a and 103b using an I2C bus with the imaging control unit 105 as a master device and the imaging elements 103a and 103b as slave devices. The imaging control unit 105 receives necessary commands and the like from the CPU 111. The imaging control unit 105 also uses the I2C bus to retrieve status data and the like from the register groups of the imaging elements 103a and 103b and send it to the CPU 111.

[0017] Furthermore, the imaging control unit 105 instructs the imaging elements 103a and 103b to output image data when the shutter button of the operation unit 115 is pressed. The imaging device 1 has a live view display function that displays moving images captured by the imaging device 1 on the touch panel 119 or an external device. Therefore, the imaging elements 103a and 103b continuously output image data at a predetermined frame rate (frames / minute).

[0018] As will be described later, the imaging control unit 105 also functions as a synchronization control means that cooperates with the CPU 111 to synchronize the output timing of image data from the imaging elements 103a and 103b.

[0019] The microphone 108 converts sound into sound (signal) data. The sound processing unit 109 takes in the sound data output from the microphone 108 via the I / F bus, and performs a predetermined process on the sound data.

[0020] The CPU 111 controls the overall operation of the imaging device 1 and executes necessary processing. The ROM 112 stores various programs for the CPU 111. The SRAM 113 and the DRAM 114 are work memories, and store programs executed by the CPU 111, data in the middle of processing, etc. The DRAM 114 stores image data in the middle of processing by the image processing unit 104, and data of a processed equirectangular projection image.

[0021] The operation unit 115 has operation buttons such as a shutter button, etc. A user operates the operation unit 115 to input various shooting modes, shooting conditions, and the like.

[0022] The external device connection I / F 116 is an interface for connecting various external devices. In this case, the external device is, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, a PC (Personal Computer), etc. The imaging device 1 records the data of the equirectangular projection image stored in the DRAM 114 in an external medium via the external device connection I / F 116. The imaging device 1 may also transmit the data to an external terminal (device) such as a smartphone via the external device connection I / F 116.

[0023] The communication unit 117 communicates with an external terminal (device) such as a smartphone by short-range wireless communication technology such as Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc., via an antenna 117a provided in the imaging device 1. The communication unit 117 can also transmit data of the equirectangular projection image to an external terminal (device) such as a smartphone.

[0024] The acceleration / azimuth sensor 118 calculates the orientation of the imaging device 1 from the earth's magnetism and outputs the orientation information. This orientation information is an example of related information (metadata) according to Exif, and is used for image processing such as image correction of the captured image. The related information also includes data such as the capture date and time of the image and the data capacity of the image data. The acceleration / azimuth sensor 118 also detects angle changes (roll angle, pitch angle, yaw angle) that accompany the movement of the imaging device 1.

[0025] The change in angle is an example of related information (metadata) according to Exif, and is used in image processing such as image correction of captured images. Furthermore, acceleration and orientation sensor 118 detects acceleration in three axial directions. Image capture device 1 calculates the attitude (angle with respect to the direction of gravity) of its own device (image capture device 1) based on the acceleration detected by acceleration and orientation sensor 118. Providing acceleration and orientation sensor 118 in image capture device 1 improves the accuracy of image correction.

[0026] The touch panel 119 includes a display unit 119a and a position input unit 119b. The display unit 119a is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays a display screen including a captured image transmitted from the imaging unit 101, an icon image stored in the ROM 112, and the like.

[0027] Position input section 119b detects a touch on display section 119a, and outputs to CPU 111 position information indicating the touched position.

[0028] The imaging device 1 has a soft shutter function. The soft shutter function is a function for capturing an image when contact with a shutter area displayed on the touch panel 119 is detected. That is, when the imaging device 1 detects contact with the shutter area, it executes a process for releasing the shutter in the same manner as when the shutter button of the operation unit 115 is pressed.

[0029] 1 is an omnidirectional imaging device using two imaging elements, but the number of imaging elements is not limited to two and may be any number. Furthermore, the imaging device 1 does not need to be an omnidirectional imaging device, and may be any device that captures images. Furthermore, the imaging device 1 may be a digital camera or a smartphone equipped with an omnidirectional imaging unit attached later.

[0030] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of functions of the imaging device.

[0031] The imaging device 1 includes a control unit 10. The control unit 10 is realized by a CPU 111 executing processes defined in a program stored in a ROM 112, an SRAM 113, a DRAM 114, or the like.

[0032] The control unit 10 includes a first display control unit 13, a first operation receiving unit 14, a second display control unit 15, a second operation receiving unit 16, a third display control unit 17, and an imaging operation receiving unit 18.

[0033] The first display control unit 13 causes the display unit 119a to display a first image corresponding to the first function. The first function is a function realized by the own device (imaging device 1), for example, a live view display function or a soft shutter function. In this case, the first image is a moving image for realizing the live view display function or an image showing a shutter area corresponding to the soft shutter function.

[0034] When a first image is displayed on the display unit 119a, the first operation accepting unit 14 accepts an operation to display a second image corresponding to a second function different from the first function. Specifically, the second function is a function related to the first function, for example, a function that accepts settings related to displaying moving images in a live view display function, or settings related to capturing still images in a soft shutter function. For example, the second function is a function that accepts settings such as exposure, white balance, and shutter speed.

[0035] The operation for displaying the second image is, for example, a swipe operation from an edge of the display area of ​​the display unit 119a toward the center.

[0036] Furthermore, when the first image and the second image are displayed on the display unit 119a, the first operation accepting unit 14 accepts an operation to erase the second image. The operation to erase the second image is, for example, a swipe operation from the center to an end of the display area on the display unit 119a. The end in this case is an end where contact is detected in the swipe operation to display the second image being displayed.

[0037] When the first operation receiving unit 14 receives an operation to display the second image, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the second image while keeping the first image displayed. Specifically, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display a display screen including at least a part of the first image and the second image. This allows the user of the imaging device 1 to set the exposure, white balance, shutter speed, etc. while viewing a moving image by the live view display function, and to release the shutter by using the soft shutter function.

[0038] Furthermore, when first operation accepting unit 14 accepts an operation to delete the second image, second display control unit 15 deletes the second image from the display screen. As a result, second display control unit 15 causes display unit 119a to display the first image corresponding to the portion hidden by the second image.

[0039] The second operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation to display a third image corresponding to a third function different from the first function and the second function when the first image and the second image are displayed on the display unit 119a. Specifically, the third image is an image corresponding to a setting different from the setting corresponding to the second image. For example, the third image is an image corresponding to detailed settings for the imaging device 1.

[0040] The operation for displaying the third image is, for example, a swipe operation from an end portion of the display area of ​​the display unit 119a to the center, similar to the operation for displaying the second image. If the operation for displaying the third image is similar to the operation for displaying the second image, the user of the imaging device 1 does not need to memorize multiple operation methods, and thus the operability is good.

[0041] In this case, the difference between the operation to display the second image and the operation to display the third image is whether the operation is accepted when the first image is displayed on display unit 119a or whether the operation is accepted when both the first image and the second image are displayed on display unit 119a.

[0042] Furthermore, when the third image is displayed on the display unit 119a, the second operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation to erase the third image. The operation to erase the third image is, for example, a swipe operation from the center to an end of the display area on the display unit 119a. In this case, the end is an end where contact is detected in the swipe operation to display the third image being displayed.

[0043] When the second operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation to display the third image, the third display control unit 17 erases the first image and the second image from the display screen and displays the third image on the display unit 119a. This allows the user of the imaging device 1 to make detailed settings by utilizing a wide range in the display area of ​​the display unit 119a.

[0044] Furthermore, when second operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation to delete the third image, third display control unit 17 deletes the third image from the display screen, thereby causing display unit 119a to display the first image and the second image corresponding to the portions hidden by the third image.

[0045] The first display control unit 13, the first operation acceptance unit 14, the second display control unit 15, the second operation acceptance unit 16, and the third display control unit 17 are realized by the CPU 111.

[0046] The imaging operation receiving unit 18 receives an imaging operation. Specifically, the imaging operation receiving unit 18 receives an imaging operation by detecting pressing of a shutter button included in the operation unit 115 or detecting contact with a shutter area of ​​a soft shutter function.

[0047] Next, an image displayed on the display unit 119a will be described.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the first image.

[0049] 3 shows an example in which a first image is included in a display screen 900 displayed on the display unit 119a. The first image includes a captured moving image and an icon image 901 indicating a shutter area. When the imaging operation receiving unit 18 detects a contact with an area surrounded by the icon image 901, the imaging operation receiving unit 18 receives the contact as an imaging operation.

[0050] FIG. 4 is a first diagram for explaining a method of displaying the second image.

[0051] When the first operation acceptance unit 14 accepts an operation such as a swipe operation, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the second image 902 by an animation action corresponding to the operation. Specifically, when the first operation acceptance unit 14 accepts a swipe operation from the bottom end of the display area on the display unit 119a toward the center, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the second image 902 while gradually expanding the display range from the bottom end toward the center of the display area on the display unit 119a, as shown in FIG.

[0052] FIG. 5 is a second diagram for explaining the display method of the second image.

[0053] Even when the display range of the second image 902 is maximized, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the second image 902 while displaying the main part of the moving image by the live view display function and the icon image 901, as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, in the state shown in Fig. 5, the live view display function and the soft shutter function remain enabled.

[0054] It should be noted that the second image 902 shown in FIG. 5 is an image corresponding to a function for receiving exposure settings, white balance settings, and shutter speed settings.

[0055] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a swipe operation.

[0056] 6 is a grid that divides the display area of ​​the display unit 119a into a plurality of small areas. The position input unit 119b detects contact with each small area. Specifically, each small area is divided into one of an upper end 801, a lower end 802, a left end 803, a right end 804, and a center 805 of the display area of ​​the display unit 119a.

[0057] The first operation receiving unit 14 or the second operation receiving unit 16 detects contact with any of the upper end 801, the lower end 802, the left end 803 or the right end 804, and when it detects that the position of the contact moves toward the center 805 while maintaining contact, it accepts this as an operation to display the second image or the third image.

[0058] FIG. 7 is a first diagram for explaining a display method of the third image.

[0059] When second operation acceptance unit 16 accepts an operation such as a swipe operation, third display control unit 17 causes display unit 119a to display third image 903 by an animation action corresponding to the operation. Specifically, when second operation acceptance unit 16 accepts a swipe operation from the bottom end of the display area on display unit 119a to the center, third display control unit 17 causes display unit 119a to display third image 903 while gradually expanding the display range from the bottom end to the center of the display area on display unit 119a, as shown in FIG.

[0060] Furthermore, third display control unit 17 moves second image 902, which has been displayed beforehand, so as to be pushed out by third image 903, and displays it.

[0061] FIG. 8 is a second diagram for explaining the display method of the third image.

[0062] The third display control unit 17 may move the second image 902, which was previously displayed, so as to be pushed out by the third image 903, while gradually superimposing it on the third image 903, i.e., gradually erasing a portion of the bottom end of the second image 902 from the display screen.

[0063] In addition, the third display control unit 17 may not move the second image 902 that was previously displayed, but may gradually superimpose it on the third image 903, i.e., gradually erase a portion of the bottom end of the second image 902 from the display screen.

[0064] FIG. 9 is a third diagram for explaining a display method of the third image.

[0065] When the display range of the third image 903 is maximized, the third display control unit 17 erases the moving image by the live view display function, the icon image 901, the second image 902, etc. from the display screen as shown in Fig. 9. Therefore, in the state shown in Fig. 9, the detailed setting contents are displayed at a size required for operation, and operability is good.

[0066] Next, the operation of the imaging device 1 will be described.

[0067] When the imaging device 1 is powered on and the live view display function is enabled, the first display control unit 13 displays a moving image captured by the imaging unit 101 on the display unit 119a, and starts the process flow shown below.

[0068] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of processing executed by the imaging apparatus.

[0069] The imaging operation receiving unit 18 determines whether or not an imaging operation has been received (step S101). If the imaging operation receiving unit 18 determines that an imaging operation has been received (step S101: Yes), the control unit 10 controls the imaging unit 101 to capture an image (step S102). Then, the imaging device 1 executes the process of step S101 again.

[0070] If the imaging operation acceptance unit 18 determines that an imaging operation has not been accepted (step S101: No), the first operation acceptance unit 14 determines whether an operation to display a second image has been accepted (step S103). If the first operation acceptance unit 14 determines that an operation to display a second image has not been accepted (step S103: No), the imaging device 1 executes the process of step S101 again.

[0071] When the first operation accepting unit 14 determines that an operation to display the second image has been accepted (step S103: Yes), the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the second image (step S104). As a result, as shown in Fig. 5, the display screen 900 displayed on the display unit 119a includes the first image including the icon image 901 and the like, and the second image 902. In this state, the imaging operation accepting unit 18 can accept an imaging operation.

[0072] 10, next, the imaging operation receiving unit 18 determines whether or not an imaging operation has been received (step S105). If the imaging operation receiving unit 18 determines that an imaging operation has been received (step S105: Yes), the control unit 10 controls the imaging unit 101 to capture an image (step S102).

[0073] Furthermore, when the imaging operation receiving unit 18 determines that an imaging operation has not been received (step S105: No), the first operation receiving unit 14 determines whether an operation to erase the second image has been received (step S106).

[0074] When the first operation accepting unit 14 determines that an operation to erase the second image has been accepted (step S106: Yes), the second display control unit 15 erases the second image from the display screen (step S107). Specifically, the second display control unit 15 causes the display unit 119a to display the first image including a portion corresponding to the second image that has been displayed, as shown in FIG.

[0075] Then, the imaging device 1 executes the process of step S101 again.

[0076] Furthermore, if the first operation receiving unit 14 determines that it has not received an operation to erase the second image (step S106: No), the second operation receiving unit 16 determines whether it has received an operation to display the third image (step S108).

[0077] If the second operation accepting unit 16 determines that an operation to display the third image has not been accepted (step S108: No), the imaging device 1 executes the process of step S105 again.

[0078] When the second operation acceptance unit 16 determines that an operation to display the third image has been accepted (step S108: Yes), the third display control unit 17 causes the display unit 119a to display the third image (step S109). As a result, as shown in Fig. 9, the first image including the icon image 901 and the like and the second image 902 are erased from the display screen 900 displayed on the display unit 119a, and the third image 903 is displayed on the display unit 119a. In this state, the imaging operation acceptance unit 18 cannot accept an imaging operation.

[0079] 10, the second operation accepting unit 16 determines whether or not an operation to erase the third image has been accepted (step S110). If the second operation accepting unit 16 determines that an operation to erase the third image has not been accepted (step S110: No), the second operation accepting unit 16 executes the process of step S110 again.

[0080] When the second operation accepting unit 16 determines that an operation to erase the third image has been accepted (step S110: Yes), the third display control unit 17 erases the third image from the display screen (step S111). Then, the imaging device 1 executes the process of step S105 again.

[0081] According to the imaging device 1 of this embodiment, when the first operation accepting unit 14 accepts an operation to display the second image, the second image is displayed on the display unit 119a while the first image is still displayed. This improves the operability of the first function corresponding to the first image being displayed.

[0082] Furthermore, when the first image and the second image are displayed on display unit 119a, if second operation accepting unit 16 accepts an operation to display a third image, the first image and the second image are erased from the display screen, and the third image is displayed on display unit 119a. This makes it possible to ensure a sufficient display range for the third image corresponding to the third function.

[0083] The first function, the second function, and the third function according to the above-described embodiment are merely examples and may be other functions. The first function, the second function, and the third function may be functions corresponding to the displayed first image, the second image, and the third image, and may be functions that are realized by an operation on the displayed image, or the display itself may be the purpose of the function.

[0084] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been shown in which the imaging device 1 has the touch panel 119. However, instead of the touch panel 119, another device such as a smartphone may function as the display unit 119a. In this case, the imaging device 1 may communicate with the other device such as a smartphone via the external device connection I / F 116 to transmit or receive an image to be displayed, detected position information, and the like.

[0085] In some embodiments, the imaging device 1 may be configured as an information processing system including multiple computing devices, such as a server cluster, configured to communicate with each other via any type of communication link, including a network, shared memory, etc., and may perform the processes disclosed herein.

[0086] Each function of the above-described embodiments can be realized by one or more processing circuits. Here, the term "processing circuit" in this specification includes a processor programmed to execute each function by software, such as a processor implemented by an electronic circuit, and a device such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a conventional circuit module designed to execute each function described above.

[0087] Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the requirements shown in the above embodiments. These points can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and can be appropriately determined according to the application form. [Explanation of symbols]
