The above is the description of the information processing apparatus in the present embodiment.

Next, a digital camera that is an example of the imaging apparatus of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the digital camera 200 according to the present embodiment.
In the digital camera 200, the CPU 201 controls each part of the digital camera 200 in accordance with an input signal and a program described later. For example, based on the setting data described above, a process of associating content data such as other image data and text data with image data acquired by an imaging unit described later as attribute information 313 described later is controlled. Note that the control performed by the CPU 201 may be performed by a single piece of hardware, or the entire apparatus may be controlled by a plurality of pieces of hardware sharing the processing.

The above is the structure of Exif-JEPG.

  Next, in the PC 100, the user selects and associates the information to be added to the image data based on the shooting position of the image data and the position range for determining whether to add information to the image data. A process for generating the setting data will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for performing the process for generating the setting data described above in the PC 100. The processing shown in each step of this flowchart is realized by the CPU 101 loading a program from the HDD 103, developing it in the RAM 102, and controlling each part of the PC 100 according to the program.

  First, the processing of this flowchart is started when the CPU 101 detects an instruction to start a program that executes the processing shown in this flowchart.

  In step S <b> 501, the CPU 101 controls to display the electronic map data recorded in the HDD 103 described above on the display unit 106.

In step S502, the CPU 101 executes processing for receiving an instruction to select a predetermined range as a selection range. This process is an example of a range instruction receiving unit. In step S <b> 502, the CPU 101 receives an operation for selecting two points on the electronic map data displayed on the display unit 106 via the operation unit 107. Further, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 106 to display a message for prompting selection (for example, a display like the message 600 in FIG. 6). The operation for designating two points is, for example, the following operation. Hereinafter, the case where a mouse having a left click key and a right click key is used as the operation unit 107 will be described with reference to FIG. The user can select the position indicated by the mouse cursor 601 when the key is pressed as the first point 602 by pressing the left click key of the mouse as shown in FIG. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6B, the user moves the mouse while pressing the left click key, and moves the mouse cursor 601 to the position to be selected as the second point 603. At this time, the region is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the region other than the selection range so that the selection range is a rectangular range 604 having the first point 602 and the position indicated by the cursor as diagonal points. The user can select the second point 603 by moving the mouse cursor to a position to be selected as the second point 603 and then releasing the left click and finishing the left click.
Returning to the description of FIG.

  Next, in step S503, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not the range selected in step S502 may be selected. Specifically, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 106 to display a message for confirming whether or not the range selected in step S502 is determined as the selection range, and further selects whether or not to select the selection range. You may control to accept. For example, the CPU 101 controls to display a message 610 in FIG. Further, control is performed to accept selection of the “Yes” button 605, the “Redo” button 606 or the “Cancel” button 607. In this process, if the CPU 101 determines that the selection of the “Yes” button 605 has been received, the process proceeds to step S504. If the CPU 101 determines that the selection of the “redo” button 606 has been received, the process returns to step S502. If the CPU 101 determines that the selection of the “cancel” button 607 has been received, the process ends.

In step S <b> 504, the CPU 101 displays content data recorded in the HDD 103 and starts processing for accepting selection of content data via the operation unit 107. Further, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 106 to display a message that prompts the user to select content data associated with the selection range selected in step S502. For example, the CPU 101 controls to display the display 700 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, content data 701 is content data recorded in the HDD 103. In this embodiment, graphic data in a bitmap format is used as content data. Also, text data such as place names and event names can be used. The CPU 101 controls to display the content data display area 702 so as to suggest that the content data 701 is associated with the range selected in step S502. A corresponding check box is displayed below each content data 701. A check box 703 indicates that the corresponding content data 701 is not selected. A check box 704 indicates that the corresponding content data 701 has been selected. The initial state of the check box indicates an unselected state. The user can mark the content data 701 already selected by checking a check box corresponding to the content data 701 via the operation unit 107. Note that a plurality of check boxes can be checked, and in this case, a plurality of corresponding content data 701 is already selected. In addition, the user can instruct the selected content data to correspond to the range selected in step S502 by selecting the setting button 705 via the operation unit 107. Further, the user can issue an instruction to end the process by selecting a cancel button 706 via the operation unit 107.
Returning to the description of FIG.

  In step S505, the CPU 101 determines the instruction received in step S504. If the CPU 101 determines that an instruction to associate the selected content data with the range selected in step S502 is received, the process proceeds to step S506. On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that an instruction to end the process has been received, the process ends. The processing in step S504 and step S505 is an example of an attribute instruction receiving unit.

  Next, in step S506, the CPU 101 displays a display on the display unit 106 so that the selection range accepted in step S502 and the content data accepted in step S504 are associated with each other. Control as follows. For example, it is conceivable that the CPU 101 displays the selection range 604 and the content data 701 for which the selection is received adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. In addition, the content data can be displayed outside the map, the color of the frame indicating the selection range in the map and the type of the frame line can be changed, and the color of the frame surrounding the content data displayed outside the map and the type of the frame line can also be displayed. You may display it like.

  Further, in step S507, the CPU 101 controls to accept selection of whether or not to associate the selection range accepted in step S502 with the content data accepted in step S504. For example, the CPU 101 controls to display a message 801 that prompts the user to select as shown in FIG. Further, control is performed to accept selection of the OK button 802, the redo button 803, or the cancel button 804 via the operation unit 107. If the CPU 101 determines that selection of the redo button 803 has been received, the process returns to step S502. If the CPU 101 determines that the selection of the cancel button 804 has been received, the process ends. If the CPU 101 determines that the selection of the OK button 802 has been received, the process proceeds to step S508.

  In step S508, the CPU 101 associates the selection range received in step S502 with the content data received in step S504, and temporarily stores it in the RAM 102 as setting data.

  In the subsequent step S509, the CPU 101 displays a message confirming to the user whether there is a range to be set and content data, and selects whether or not to select a further range and content data associated with the range. Control to accept. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 101 controls to display a message 901 for confirming to the user whether there is a range to be further set and content data. In FIG. 9, when the additional setting button 902 is selected, the CPU 101 determines that a selection for associating a further range with content data has been received. On the other hand, when the setting completion button 903 is selected, the CPU 101 determines that a selection that does not associate the further range with the content data has been received.

  If it is determined in step S509 that the CPU 101 has received a selection not to associate further ranges with content data, the process proceeds to step S510.

  In step S510, the CPU 101 records the setting data temporarily stored in step S507 on the HDD 103. Thereafter, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S509 that the selection for associating a further range with content data has been received, the process returns to step S502. Thereafter, the same processing is performed up to step S507. In step S507, since there is already setting data that is temporarily recorded, a further selection range and content data are associated with each other and added to the already recorded setting data. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, two points of the selection range are added to the range information 405 and content data is added to the attribute information 406 and recorded. When a plurality of pieces of content data are associated with one range information, as shown in FIG. 4, the first content data is the attribute information 406 with respect to the range information 405, and the second content data. Data is recorded in the attribute information 407. Thereafter, the same processing is performed.

  The above is a method for associating range information with content data. In the present embodiment, the generated setting data is transmitted to the digital camera 200. When the digital camera 200 acquires the setting data, it may be received via the communication unit 209 or connected to the recording medium 207 in which the setting data is recorded via the external recording device 104 of the PC 100. You may get it at For example, when the CPU 101 detects that the communication unit 105 of the PC 100 and the communication unit 209 of the digital camera 200 are connected, the setting data is sent to the digital camera 200 in response to the generation of the setting data. Control to send. Alternatively, when the CPU 201 of the digital camera 200 detects that the communication unit 105 of the PC 100 and the communication unit 209 of the digital camera 200 are connected, a setting data acquisition process for acquiring setting data from the PC 100 is started. Control as follows.

  Next, a method for using the setting data transmitted from the PC 100 with the digital camera 200 will be described. The digital camera 200 in the present embodiment can associate the corresponding content data with the image data captured in the range indicated by the range information of the setting data. FIG. 10 shows processing of the digital camera 200 for adding content data to captured image data based on setting data and a shooting position at the time of shooting. Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is realized by the CPU 201 loading a program stored in the program memory 203, developing the program in the work memory 204, and controlling each unit of the digital camera 200 according to the program.

  The process of FIG. 10 is started by accepting a shooting instruction by pressing a release switch included in the operation unit 206 of the digital camera 200.

  In step S <b> 1001, the CPU 201 performs an imaging process with the imaging unit 202 and acquires image data.

  Next, in step S1002, the CPU 201 performs position information acquisition processing using the GPS 208, and acquires position information as a shooting position in the form of latitude and longitude.

  In step S1003, the CPU 201 determines whether the setting data is recorded on the recording medium 207. When the CPU 201 determines that the setting data is not recorded on the recording medium 207, the process proceeds to step S1006. The process of step S1006 will be described later. On the other hand, if the CPU 201 determines in step S1003 that the setting data is recorded on the recording medium 207, the process proceeds to step S1004.

  In step S1004, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the position information acquired in step S1002 is within a range indicated by one or more range information included in the setting data recorded on the recording medium 207. . That is, it is determined whether the captured image data is image data captured within the range indicated by the range information of the setting data. In the present embodiment, the range indicated by the range information is a rectangular range having two points indicated by the range information as diagonal points.

  If the CPU 201 determines in step S1004 that the position information acquired in step S1002 is within the range indicated by one or more range information included in the setting data recorded in the recording medium 207, Processing proceeds to step S1005.

  In step S1005, the CPU 101 adds the position information acquired in step S1002 to the image data acquired in step S1001 and content data associated with range information indicating a range including the position indicated by the position information. Associate. Thereafter, the image data is stored in the recording medium 207. When there are a plurality of range information indicating ranges including the position indicated by the position information, all of the content data associated with each range information is associated with the image data. That is, a plurality of pieces of content data are associated with the image data as the attribute information 313. Thereafter, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 201 determines in step S1004 that the position information acquired in step S1002 is not within the range indicated by the range information of the setting data recorded on the recording medium 207, the process proceeds to step S1006.

  In step S1006, the CPU 101 associates the image data acquired in step S1001 with the position information acquired in step S1002, and saves it in the recording medium 207. Thereafter, the process ends.

  The above is the description of the processing of the imaging apparatus that adds information to the captured image using the setting data.

  With the above-described configuration, the user can set in advance which information is to be added to the image data at the time of shooting before shooting.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the content data 701 is recorded in the HDD 103 has been described. However, the content data 701 may be acquired from the outside.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the setting data is generated by the PC 100 has been described. Compared with the digital camera 200, the PC 100 can be connected to a medium having a large recording capacity, so that it is easy to handle map data, and a user interface such as a mouse or a large screen display can be used. Therefore, there is an advantage that the setting data can be generated by a simple operation.

  In contrast, the digital camera 200 may be configured to generate setting data. In this case, for example, the digital camera 200 includes a touch panel in the operation unit 206, displays the map data recorded in the recording medium 207 on the display unit 205, and uses the range on the displayed map data as a selection range. An instruction to select is accepted via the touch panel. Similarly, an instruction to select content data recorded on the recording medium 207 via the touch panel in order to correspond to the selection range is accepted. Then, the CPU 201 associates the selected selection range with the content data and generates setting data. In such a configuration, since it is possible to perform processing with the digital camera 200 alone, it is not necessary to start up the PC 100, and there is no need to move setting data from the PC 100 to the digital camera 200. Benefits arise.

The above-described embodiment can also be realized by executing the following processing. That is, software (program) for realizing the functions of the above-described embodiments is supplied to a system or apparatus via a network or various recording media, and a computer (or CPU, MPU, etc.) of the system or apparatus reads the program. It is a process to be executed.
