It is a captured image in which (703, 705, 706 in FIG. 7) was performed. By pressing the fixed interval imaging stop button 707, the fixed interval imaging can be stopped. Further, the captured image is stored in a flash memory or the like of the image pickup device 100.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a time-lapse image pickup process in the image pickup apparatus 100 of the present embodiment.
In step S801, the imaging device 100 accepts switching to the imaging mode. As a result, the image pickup apparatus 100 is in a state where it can take an image.
In step S802, the image pickup apparatus 100 displays an image pickup screen (not shown). Specifically, the image obtained via the lens is displayed on the display.
In step S803, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the press of the shutter button has been accepted. If the press is accepted, the process proceeds to step S804. If the press is not accepted, the process returns to step S803. By pressing the shutter button, regular interval imaging can be started.

In step S804, the image pickup apparatus 100 acquires the current image obtained via the lens, the current time, the current position information measured by GPS, and the tilt information of the current terminal measured by the gyro sensor. .. For example, it is assumed that the current image = 701 in FIG. 7 and the current time = 12:00:00 are acquired.

In step S805, the imaging device 100 uses the "current image", "current time", "current position information", "current tilt information", and "imaging trigger" acquired in step S804 as the "imaging image", "imaging time", and "imaging position". It is stored in the RAM and flash memory as "information", "imaging tilt information", and "imaging trigger". Further, the flash memory stores the "image captured image" as an image file, and stores the "imaging time", "imaging position information", "imaging tilt information", and "imaging trigger" as additional information of the image file.

In this embodiment, "imaging time", "imaging position information", "imaging tilt information", and "imaging trigger" are stored as additional information of the image file, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, these Other storage methods may be used, such as setting the file name so that the information can be specified, and storing the information in the database in association with the image file identification information.

Further, in this embodiment, the imaging triggers are "fixed interval", "shutter", "sound", "image change", "position change", and "tilt change", but the present invention is not limited to this, and "brightness" and "brightness" "Atmospheric pressure", "heart rate (of the imager)", etc. may be used as a shooting trigger.

Further, when "imaging trigger" = fixed interval, or when "previous fixed interval imaging time" is NULL, it is stored in RAM as "previous fixed interval imaging time" = imaging time. Imaging is performed in the above steps S804 to S805.

In step S806, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the fixed interval image pickup 521 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S807. If it is OFF, this time-lapse imaging process is terminated.
In step S807, the image pickup apparatus 100 acquires the current time.

In step S808, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the current time ≥ the previous fixed interval imaging time + the fixed interval imaging time. If applicable, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S809. The previous fixed interval imaging time is acquired from the RAM stored in step S805, and the fixed interval imaging time is acquired from the flash memory stored in step S606. Specifically, when the previous fixed interval imaging time = 12:00:00 and the fixed interval imaging time = 1 minute, when the current time = 12:11:00 has passed, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (). 702 in FIG. 7. After that, every time the current time = 12:02:00, 12:03:00, ..., And so on, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (704 in FIG. 7).

In step S809, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the image pickup trigger shutter 523 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S810. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S811.

In step S810, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the press of the shutter button has been accepted. When the press is accepted, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (705 in FIG. 7). As a result, if the shutter button is pressed during regular interval imaging, imaging can be performed. If the press is not accepted, the process proceeds to step S811.

In step S811, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the image pickup trigger sound 524 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S812. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S814.
In step S812, the imaging device 100 acquires the current ambient sound from the microphone.

In step S813, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the current ambient volume ≥ the image pickup trigger volume. If applicable, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S814. Specifically, when the current ambient volume = 98 dB and the imaging trigger volume = 80 dB, since the current ambient volume ≥ the imaging trigger volume, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (706 in FIG. 7).

In step S814, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the image pickup trigger image change 526 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S815. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S817.
In step S815, the image pickup apparatus 100 acquires the current image obtained via the lens.

In step S816, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the amount of image change from the previously captured image ≥ the amount of change in the image trigger image. If applicable, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S817. Specifically, the "captured image" stored in the RAM in step S805 is compared with the current image acquired in step S815, and the amount of image change from the previously captured image is the imaging trigger image stored in the flash memory. It is determined whether or not the value of the amount of change is 527 or more.

For example, when the current time is 12:01:20, the captured image 702 in FIG. 7 is compared with the current image 703 obtained via the lens, and when the amount of image change is calculated to be 12%, the image is captured. Since the amount of change in the trigger image is 527 = 10% or more, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (703 in FIG. 7). In this embodiment, the previously captured image and the current image are compared, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the previous fixed-time captured image and the current image may be compared. Further, since the image comparison technique is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted here.

In step S817, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the image pickup trigger position change 528 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S818. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S820.
In step S818, the image pickup apparatus 100 acquires the current position information measured by GPS.

In step S819, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the amount of change from the previous image pickup position information ≥ the amount of change in the image pickup trigger position. If applicable, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S820. Specifically, the "imaging position information" stored in the RAM in step S805 and the current position information acquired in step S818 are compared, and the amount of position change from the previous imaging position information is stored in the flash memory. It is determined whether or not it is equal to or greater than the value of the image pickup trigger position change amount 529.

For example, when the amount of change (movement amount) from the previous imaging position information to the current position information is calculated to be 1.2 m, the amount of change in the imaging trigger position is 529 = 1 m or more, so imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 ( Not shown). In this embodiment, the previous imaging position information and the current position information are compared, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the previous fixed-time imaging position information and the current position information may be compared. Further, since the calculation of the amount of change in the position information is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted here. As a result, even if the image is moved by a digital camera, a smartphone, a tablet, a camera installed on a moving body, or the like, the image can be automatically captured.

In step S820, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines the value of the image pickup trigger tilt change 530 stored in the flash memory. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S821. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S823.
In step S821, the image pickup apparatus 100 acquires the current tilt information measured by the gyro sensor.

In step S822, the imaging device 100 determines whether or not the amount of change from the previous imaging tilt information ≥ the amount of change in the imaging trigger tilt. If applicable, imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S823. Specifically, the "imaging tilt information" stored in the RAM in step S805 and the current tilt information acquired in step S818 are compared, and the amount of tilt change from the previous imaging tilt information is stored in the flash memory. It is determined whether or not it is equal to or greater than the value of the imaging tilt change amount 531.

For example, when the amount of change from the previous imaging tilt information to the current tilt information is calculated to be 22 °, the amount of change in the imaging trigger tilt is 531 = 20 ° or more, so imaging is performed in steps S804 to S805 (not shown). In this embodiment, the previous imaging tilt information and the current tilt information are compared, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the previous fixed-time imaging tilt information and the current tilt information may be compared. Further, since the calculation of the amount of change in the inclination information is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted here. As a result, even when the terminal is tilted during imaging by a digital camera, a smartphone, a tablet, a camera installed on a moving body, or the like, imaging can be performed automatically.

In step S823, the image pickup apparatus 100 determines whether or not the pressing of the fixed interval image pickup stop button 707 is accepted. When the press is accepted, this time-lapse imaging process ends. As a result, regular interval imaging can be stopped. If the press is not accepted, the process returns to step S806 to continue regular interval imaging.

In step S1813, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the value of the show sound display time 1530 of the slide show setting table 1520, and waits for the acquired show sound display time 1530 while displaying the captured image displayed in step S1805. As a result, the display time of the captured image captured by detecting the sound of the imaging trigger volume 505 or higher by the microphone of the imaging device 100 during the fixed interval imaging is displayed as the captured image captured by the fixed interval imaging. It becomes identifiable because the time is different.

In step S1814, the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the imaging trigger = or "image variation" stored in step S1804 in RAM 20 2. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step S1815. If No, the process proceeds to step S1818.

In step S1815, the information processing apparatus 101 determines the value of the show image change frame display 1533 of the slide show setting table 1520. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S1816. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S1818.
In step S1816, the information processing apparatus 101 displays a frame on the captured image displayed in step S1805.

In step S1817, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the value of the show image change display time 1532 of the slide show setting table 1520, and waits for the acquired show image change display time 1532 while displaying the captured image displayed in step S1805. To do. As a result, the image obtained through the lens of the image pickup apparatus 100 during the fixed interval imaging is displayed as the captured image captured by the change amount of the imaging trigger image change amount of 507 or more from the previous captured image. Since the time is different from the captured image captured by the fixed interval imaging and the display time, it becomes identifiable.

In step S1818, the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the imaging trigger = "position change" or stored in step S1804 in RAM 20 2. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step S1819. If No, the process proceeds to step S1822.

In step S1819, the information processing apparatus 101 determines the value of the show position change frame display 1535 of the slide show setting table 1520. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S1820. If it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S1822.
In step S1820, the information processing apparatus 101 displays a frame on the captured image displayed in step S1805.

In step S1821, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the value of the show position change display time 1534 of the slide show setting table 1520, and waits for the acquired show position change display time 1534 while displaying the captured image displayed in step S1805. To do. As a result, the position information measured by the GPS of the image pickup apparatus 100 during the regular interval image change from the position information at the time of the previous image capture by 509 or more of the image capture trigger position change amount, so that the image captured image is captured. Since the display time is different from the captured image captured by the fixed interval imaging, it becomes identifiable.

In step S1822, the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the imaging trigger = or "slope change" stored in step S1804 in RAM 20 2. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step S1823. If No, the process returns to step S1803 and the next captured image is acquired.

In step S1823, the information processing apparatus 101 determines the value of the show inclination change frame display 1537 of the slide show setting table 1520. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S1824. If it is OFF, the process returns to step S1803 and the next captured image is acquired.
In step S1824, the information processing apparatus 101 displays a frame on the captured image displayed in step S1805.

In step S1825, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the value of the show inclination change display time 1536 of the slide show setting table 1520, and waits for the acquired show inclination change display time 1536 while displaying the captured image displayed in step S1805. To do. As a result, the tilt measured by the gyro sensor of the image pickup device 100 during regular interval imaging changes from the tilt at the time of the previous imaging by an imaging trigger tilt change amount of 511 or more, so that the captured image captured. Since the display time is different from the captured image captured by the fixed interval imaging, it becomes identifiable.

In step S1826, the information processing device 101 determines whether or not the button press on the captured image list screen 1700 has been accepted. If the press of the delete button 1708 is accepted, the process proceeds to step S1827. When the press of the end button 1707 is accepted, the captured image list processing is terminated. If the button is not pressed, the process returns to step S1803 and proceeds to the display of the next captured image. If there is no next captured image in step S1803, this slide show display process ends.

In step S1827, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires an imaging trigger from the captured image to be deleted and determines the value. In the case of "fixed interval", the process proceeds to step S1829, and in the case of other than "fixed interval", the process proceeds to step S1828.

In step S1828, the information processing device 101 displays a confirmation dialog (not shown) such as "Are you sure you want to delete this image?" And determines which button has been pressed. If the OK button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S1831. If the cancel button is pressed, the process returns to step S1826.

In step S1829, the information processing device 101 displays a confirmation dialog (not shown) such as "Are you sure you want to delete this image?" And determines which button has been pressed. If the OK button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S1830. If the cancel button is pressed, the process returns to step S1826.

In step S1830, the information processing apparatus 101 displays a confirmation dialog (not shown) such as "This image is an image captured by the imaging trigger. Can I delete it?", And the button pressed. To judge. If the OK button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S1831. If the cancel button is pressed, the process returns to step S1826. As a result, the confirmation when deleting the captured images taken at intervals other than the fixed interval is confirmed different times from the confirmation when deleting the captured images captured at regular intervals, so that the captured image captured by the imaging trigger can be confirmed. It is possible to prevent accidental deletion.
This is the end of the explanation of the slide show display process of FIG.
