Description

The present invention relates to a program and an imaging device , and more particularly to a program and an imaging device for imaging a user.

Conventionally, there is an automatic photo creation device for play that takes a picture of a subject, including the user, with a camera and outputs a composite image, which is a combination of the taken image and an additional image, as a printed photograph.

However, in the above-mentioned automatic photo creation devices, the device manufacturer creates a separate image source as an additional image and stores it in the device in advance, and the user uses it in the editing work. Therefore, the user has no choice but to use the additional image prepared in advance by the device manufacturer, and cannot get a full sense of satisfaction.

An automatic photo creation device has been invented that can register the captured image of a preceding subject and its edited image as a new additional image to be added to the captured image of the user as the following subject (Patent Document 1). The preceding subject is a person who has added value for which publicity rights and merchandising rights can be granted, such as a celebrity. This allows a photo to be taken of the user alongside the celebrity, providing a sense of satisfaction not previously available.

JP 2008-005401 A

The additional image of the automatic photo creation device is a still image, and the purpose of the automatic photo creation device is to provide a photo in which the user and a celebrity, etc., are side by side.

However, the automatic photo creation device does not allow the user to experience sharing the same space as a celebrity, and is limited to simply providing a composite photo, which does not provide sufficient satisfaction to the user.

The present invention aims to provide a program that allows users to have the experience of sharing the same space as a performer, such as a celebrity, and also allows users to obtain recorded images of that experience.

One aspect of the present invention is a computer program including a camera for photographing a user, a display unit, and a storage unit, the program causing the computer to function as: a receiving means for receiving content data including augmented reality video data and audio data including a performer's fill signal and key signal from a management device that manages content, and storing the received content data in the storage unit; a content selection means for displaying a content list of content using the content data on the display unit and accepting a selection of a user's desired content from the content list; an image composition means for using a key signal of the augmented reality video data of the content data of the content selected by the user to compose the performer's fill signal and the user's video captured by the camera to generate a composite video including the user and the performer, displaying the composite video on the display unit, and recording at least a part of the composite video as a recorded image; an audio output means for outputting the voice of the performer in synchronization with the composite video displayed on the display unit using audio data of the content data of the content selected by the user; a transmission means for transmitting the recorded image to the management device for storage; and a storage location presentation means for receiving storage location information indicating the storage location of the recorded image from the management device and displaying information indicating the storage location on the display unit.

The present invention allows users to have the experience of sharing the same space as the performers, and also allows users to obtain recorded images of that experience.

First Embodiment
[Overall configuration]
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a photography system in this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the photography system includes a photography device 1, a management server 2, a payment server 3, and a terminal 4. The photography device 1, the management server 2, the payment server 3, and the terminal 4 can be connected to a communication line N and can communicate with each other.

The communication line N refers to a communication path that allows data communication. In other words, the communication line N includes a dedicated line (dedicated cable) for direct connection, a LAN such as Ethernet (registered trademark), a telephone communication network, a cable network, the Internet, and other communication networks, regardless of whether the communication method is wired or wireless.

The imaging device 1 is installed in facilities such as event venues and movie theaters, and generates a composite image by combining a captured image of a user (subject) with a content image. The content image is an augmented reality image (e.g., a video) of entertainers (cast members of dramas and movies, idols, etc.) and athletes (collectively referred to as performers below). The imaging device 1 also has a digital signage function. Basically, there are multiple imaging devices 1, and they are installed at each event venue, movie theater, and other facilities.

The management server 2 is a server that manages the content images and advertisements used by the imaging device 1 and stores the recorded images that are provided to the user (subject).

The payment server 3 is a server that handles payments for the use of the imaging device 1.

The terminal 4 is a terminal held by the user (subject), and can connect to the communication line N via a wireless communication base station or the like and communicate data with the management server 2. The terminal 4 is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, or the like. Basically, there are multiple terminals 4, and each terminal 4 is operated by each user (subject). The terminal 4 has at least the functions of receiving image data, storing or displaying the image data, and photographing functions.

[Configuration of each device]
The configuration of the photographing device 1 will now be described with reference to a block diagram of FIG.

In FIG. 2, 10 is a camera, 11 is a display, 12 is a speaker, 13 is an operation input unit, 14 is a short-range wireless communication unit, 15 is a processing unit, 16 is a transmission/reception unit, and 17 is a memory unit.

Camera 10 is a camera that captures images of a user (subject) and the background of the space in which the user (subject) exists. The images (including both still images and videos) captured by camera 10 will be referred to as captured images below. These captured images are input to processing unit 15.

The display 11 displays an image that is a composite of the image captured by the camera 10 and the content image.

The speaker 12 outputs the audio of the content.

The operation input unit 13 allows the user (subject) to input various operations related to photography, and outputs an operation input signal corresponding to the operation input to the processing unit 15. The functions of the operation input unit 13 can be realized by, for example, elements operated by the user's fingers, such as a keyboard, mouse, touch operation pad, home button, button switch, joystick, or trackball, as well as elements that detect movement or posture, such as an acceleration sensor, angular velocity sensor, tilt sensor, or geomagnetic sensor. The operation input unit 13 in this embodiment is a touch operation panel equipped with a display on which operation information is displayed.

The short-distance wireless communication unit 14 is a reader/writer for a contactless IC card used to pay the usage fee.

The processing unit 15 comprehensively controls the operation of the imaging device 1 based on the programs and content data stored in the memory unit 17, the operation input signal from the operation input unit 13, etc. The functions of the processing unit 15 can be realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, an ASIC, and an IC memory. The processing unit 15 has, as its main functional units, a management unit 151, an operation control unit 152, a payment processing unit 153, a video processing unit 154, a signage control unit 155, an audio control unit 156, and a storage location presentation unit 157.

The management unit 151 manages the settings and data of the camera 1. The administrator performs the necessary settings for the camera 1 after authentication using the account and password assigned to the camera 1. A typical setting for the camera 1 is the setting of the content to be used in the camera 1. The content is downloaded from the management server 2 and stored in the storage unit 17. There are two types of content download: an automatic update mode in which content is downloaded automatically, and a manual update mode in which the administrator selects and downloads the content he or she desires. When the administrator sets one of these modes, the content is downloaded and stored in the camera 1.

Content includes content video that is combined with footage shot by the user (subject), and signage video (advertising video) used for digital signage. Content video is video of performers such as entertainers (cast members of dramas and movies, idols, etc.) and athletes, and is video data for augmented reality. Content video is basically video. Signage video is advertising video, and includes both video and still images. Content data includes content video and metadata related to those videos (identification information, usage fees, etc.). Similarly, signage data includes signage video and metadata related to those videos (identification information, etc.).

The operation control unit 152 displays the content (e.g., thumbnail images) and operation information on the operation input unit 13. It also receives operation signals from the operation input unit 13.

The payment processing unit 153 receives payment information from the contactless IC card read by the short-range wireless communication unit 14, and transmits the payment information to the payment server 3. When the payment is completed, the payment processing unit 153 receives payment completion information from the payment server 3.

The video processing unit 154 inputs the captured video of the user (subject) from the camera 10 and generates a composite video by superimposing the content video of the content selected by the user (subject) onto the captured video.

The generation of a composite image performed by the image processing unit 154 will now be described. To generate a composite image, three types of image signals are required: a captured image, a fill signal, and a key signal. The fill signal is a content image of a performer of the content selected by the user (subject). The key signal is a signal that specifies the area in which the content image, which is the fill signal, is superimposed. In this embodiment, the fill signal and the key signal are augmented reality image data.

Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the synthesis process of the composite image performed by the image processing unit 154. In the synthesis process, the composite image is generated by fitting the image of the performer in the fill signal into an area of the entire area of the shot image that is specified based on the key signal. Note that Figure 3 is a diagram explaining the synthesis process of a specific frame, and in reality, since the shot image and content image are moving images, the generation process of the composite image is performed on a frame-by-frame basis.

In addition, if the positional relationship between the user (subject) and performer in the shooting space is known, the overlapping area between the superimposed fill signal (performer's image) and the user's (subject) area is composited with priority given to the area located in front. In this way, it is possible to produce a more natural image of the virtual space. The positional relationship between the user (subject) and performer can be determined using conventional methods such as infrared measurement or image analysis of the video.

The video processing unit 154 also has a function of recording an image of a certain time in the composite video (video) as a still image. This recorded image is stored in a storage location of the management server 2, which will be described later. Note that the recorded image is not limited to a still image, and may be a video of all or part of the composite video (video).

The signage control unit 155 uses the signage data to display advertisements on the display 11 when the image capture device 1 is not being used for image capture.

The audio control unit 156 uses the audio data contained in the content data to output the voice of the performer on the video, audio of usage instructions, etc. from the speaker 12 when shooting video of the user (subject).

The storage location presentation unit 157 notifies the user (subject) of the storage location of the recorded image described above. One notification method is to display a two-dimensional code (such as a QR code (registered trademark)) indicating the address of the storage location of the recorded image on the display 11. However, this is not limited to this, and the address of the storage location may be displayed directly on the display 11, or another method may be used.

The transmitter/receiver unit 16 transmits and receives data between the management server 2 and the payment server 3 via the communication line N.

The storage unit 17 stores various data required for the imaging device 1, such as a content database and setting data.

Figure 4 shows an example of a content database. The database shown in Figure 4 stores content data of performers used for filming with users, and signage data used as advertisements. The content data includes content identification information (ID), a content name, video data for augmented reality (including a fill signal and a key signal), audio data, and metadata. The signage data includes signage identification information (ID), an advertisement name, video data, audio data, and metadata. Note that Figure 4 is an example and is not limited to this.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of setting data. The setting data shown in Figure 5 includes the account of the imaging device 1, an administration password, whether or not automatic updates are enabled, the advertisement start time (the amount of time that has elapsed since the imaging device 1 was last used), and auxiliary data. Note that Figure 5 is an example, and is not limited to this.

The appearance of the above-mentioned imaging device 1 is shown in Figure 6.

Next, we will explain the configuration of management server 2. Figure 7 is a block diagram of management server 2.

In FIG. 7, 20 is an input unit, 21 is a transmission/reception unit, 22 is a processing unit, and 23 is a memory unit.

The input unit 20 allows the administrator to input various operations, and outputs an operation input signal corresponding to the operation input to the processing unit 22. The functions of the input unit 20 can be realized by elements that are operated by the user's fingers, such as a keyboard, mouse, touch operation pad, home button, button switch, joystick, or trackball, as well as elements that detect movement or posture, such as an acceleration sensor, angular velocity sensor, tilt sensor, or geomagnetic sensor.

The transmitter/receiver 21 transmits and receives data to and from the imaging device 1 via the communication line N.

The processing unit 22 comprehensively controls the operation of the management server 2 based on the programs and content data stored in the memory unit 23, operation input signals from the input unit 20, etc. The functions of the processing unit 15 can be realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, an ASIC, and an IC memory. This processing unit 22 has, as its main functional units, a content management unit 121 and a shooting data storage management unit 122.

The content management unit 121 manages the content data to be set in the camera device 1. Specifically, the content used in the camera device 1 is managed using a camera device management database stored in the memory unit 23. FIG. 8 is an example of the camera device management database. The camera device management database shown in FIG. 8 records, for each camera device 1, the identification information of the camera device, the account, the password, whether or not automatic updates are enabled, and the identification information of the available content.

The image capture data storage management unit 122 stores the recorded images captured by the image capture device 1 in the memory 23 and notifies the image capture device 1 of the address of the storage location.

Next, we will explain the configuration of the payment server 3. Figure 9 is a block diagram of the payment server 3.

In FIG. 9, 30 is a transmission/reception unit, 31 is a payment processing unit, and 32 is a memory unit.

The transmitter/receiver 30 transmits and receives data to and from the imaging device 1 via the communication line N.

The payment processing unit 31 receives payment information from the image capture device 1, performs payment processing based on the program and payment data stored in the memory unit 32, and transmits payment completion information to the image capture device 1. The payment processing unit 31 can be realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, an ASIC, or an IC memory. Note that payment of fees using a contactless IC card can be made using conventional methods.

[Operation of each device]
The operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, a setting process is performed to make the image capture device 1 available for use (Step 1). Then, in response to a setting request from the image capture device 1, the management server 2 performs management processing and transmits content data and signage data (Step 2).

Here, the operation of the setting process (Step 1) of the image capture device 1 will be explained using a flowchart. FIG. 11 is an operation flowchart of the setting process (Step 1) of the image capture device 1.

First, the administrator of the image capture device 1 operates the operation input unit 13 to display the management screen. The operation control unit 152 displays the management screen on the operation input unit 13 (Step 100).

The administrator operates the operation input unit 13 to input identification information (account) and password (Step 101).

The management unit 151 checks the input identification information (account) and password (Step 102), and if authentication is successful (Step 103), proceeds to the selection of an update mode. On the other hand, if authentication is not successful, the setting process ends.

If authentication is successful, the administration screen will display automatic update mode and manual update mode. The administrator can select one of the modes.

When the administrator selects the automatic update mode (Step 104), content data and signage data available for the image capture device 1 are transmitted from the management server 2, and the management unit 151 stores the content data and signage data in the content database of the storage unit 17 and completes the content setting. Then, a setting completion notification is transmitted to the management server 2.

On the other hand, if the administrator selects the manual update mode (Step 104), a list of content data and signage data available for use by the image capture device 1 is sent from the management server 2, and the management unit 151 displays the list information of the content data and signage data (Step 105). The administrator operates the operation input unit 13 to select the content data and signage data to be used from the list information (Step 106). The management unit 151 then downloads the selected content data and signage data from the management server 2 (Step 107), stores it in the content database of the storage unit 17, and completes the content setting (Step 108). Then, a setting completion notification is sent to the management server 2.

Next, the operation of the management process (Step 2) of the management server 2 will be explained using a flowchart. Figure 12 is an operation flowchart of the management process (Step 2) of the management server 2.

In response to the setting request from the image capture device 1, the management server 2 checks the identification information (account) (Step 200). If the identification information (account) is registered (Step 201), the management server 2 performs processing corresponding to the mode request from the image capture device 1.

If the mode requested by the imaging device 1 is the manual update mode (Step 202), a list of content data and signage data corresponding to the content ID or signage ID entered in the available content field of the account of the imaging device 1 that requested the setting in the imaging device management database in the memory unit 23 is transmitted (Step 203). When selection information of the content data and signage data is received from the imaging device 1, the selected content data and signage data are transmitted to the imaging device 1 (Step 204). Then, when a setting completion notification is received from the imaging device 1, the management process is terminated (Step 205).

On the other hand, if the mode requested by the camera device 1 is the automatic update mode, the camera device management database in the memory unit 23 sets the flag in the automatic update field of the account of the camera device 1 that requested the setting to "ON" (Step 206). Then, among the contents registered in the content database, the content data and signage data corresponding to the content ID or signage ID written in the available content field of the account of the camera device 1 that requested the setting are searched for (Step 207), and the available content data and signage data are transmitted (Step 208). Then, when a setting completion notification is received from the camera device 1, the management process is terminated (Step 205).

For camera devices 1 with accounts for which automatic updates are enabled, if there is a change in the available content, the content data or signage data corresponding to the ID listed in the available content field is automatically sent to the camera device 1, and the content on the camera device 1 is automatically updated.

Let's return to the explanation of the sequence diagram in Figure 10.

When the settings of the photographing device 1 are complete, the user (subject) is able to use the photographing device 1. Then, when the user (subject) starts using the photographing device 1, the photographing device 1 executes the photographing process (Step 3).

Here, the operation of the shooting process (Step 3) will be explained using a flowchart. Figure 13 is an operation flowchart of the shooting process (Step 3).

The operation control unit 152 of the imaging device 1 displays a list of contents on the operation input unit 13 (Step 300). FIG. 14 is an example of a content selection screen displayed on the operation input unit 13. The example of FIG. 14 is an example of a screen from which three types of content, content AAA, content BBB, and content CCC, can be selected.

The user of the imaging device 1 selects the desired content from the list of contents displayed on the operation input unit 13. The selection is performed by touching the desired content from the list of contents (Step 301).

When content is selected, a screen showing the usage fee for the content is displayed on the screen of the operation input unit 13 (Step 302). FIG. 15 is an example of a usage fee screen displayed on the operation input unit 13. In the example of FIG. 15, the usage fee for content AAA is 600 yen, and the screen is an example of a request to touch an IC card to the short-range wireless communication unit 14.

When the user touches the IC card to the short-range wireless communication unit 14 according to the instructions on the usage fee screen, the payment processing unit 153 receives the fee payment information (Step 303) and transmits the payment information to the payment server 3 (Step 304).

The payment processing unit 153 of the image capture device 1 receives the payment completion information from the payment server 3 (Step 305), displays on the operation input unit 13 that the payment has been completed, and notifies the user that image capture will begin (Step 306).

When the camera starts to capture the user (subject), the captured image is displayed on the display 11. Next, the image processing unit 154 superimposes the virtual reality image data of the selected content on the captured image to generate a composite image (Step 307). Then, the image processing unit 154 displays the composite image (video) on the display 11 (Step 308). At this time, the voice of the performer is also output from the speaker using the audio data of the content. For example, a voice such as "This is AAA. Thank you for participating in the photo session today" is output. In this way, an image of the performer and the user existing together in the same space is displayed on the display 11 (see the composite image in FIG. 3) and the voice can also be heard, so the user can have a simulated experience of sharing the same space with the performer. Then, the performer announces the timing of the commemorative photo shoot, and a recording image (still image) is taken (Step 309).

When the shooting is finished, the storage location presentation unit 157 uploads the still image to the management server (Step 310) and displays the address of the storage location on the screen of the operation input unit 13 using a two-dimensional code (Step 311). Figure 16 is an example of a screen on which a two-dimensional code indicating the address of the storage location is displayed.

This concludes the explanation of the shooting process.

Let's return to the explanation of the sequence diagram in Figure 10.

Step 4 is a payment process performed by the payment server 3. The payment information of the user's IC card transmitted from the image capture device 1 is received, and payment completion information is transmitted to the image capture device 1 based on the payment information.

Step 5 is a storage process performed by the management server 2. The recorded image (still image) sent from the image capture device 1 is stored, and the address of the storage location is sent to the image capture device 1.

The user uses the image capturing function of terminal 1 to capture the two-dimensional code displayed on the screen of operation input unit 13, and accesses the address indicated by the two-dimensional code (Step 6). Terminal 1 then downloads the captured recorded image (still image) to terminal 1 (Step 7). Figure 17 shows an example of the case where the recorded image downloaded to terminal 4 is displayed on the display of terminal 4.

On the other hand, if the user does not use the imaging device 1 for a certain period of time (e.g., 3 minutes), the signage control unit 155 of the imaging device 1 acquires video data and audio data from the signage data in the content database of the memory unit 17, displays an advertisement using the video data on the display 11, and outputs sound using the audio data from the speaker 12 (Step 8).

This concludes the explanation of the operation of the first embodiment.

In the first embodiment, the performer's video (video) and the user's filmed video are combined and displayed on the display, and audio can also be heard, so the user can have the experience of sharing the same space as the performer. In addition, the recorded images recorded as a memento of the experience are saved in the management server and the user can download them to their terminal, which improves the convenience of sharing via SNS, for example, and also reduces costs because no physical printing is required.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the management server centrally manages the content used by the imaging device, making it possible to achieve immediacy in setting the content used by the imaging device and flexibility in registering it.

Furthermore, the imaging device of the first embodiment is also equipped with a digital signage function, so it is possible to effectively utilize the time when the imaging device is not in use.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment will now be described. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a photographing system according to the second embodiment.

In the second embodiment, in addition to the first embodiment, a performer shooting device 5 is provided that shoots live footage of the performers and generates content data (fill signals, key signals, and audio data) from the live footage to be used by the shooting device 1.

Figure 19 is a block diagram of the performer shooting device 5. In Figure 19, 50 is a camera, 51 is a microphone, 52 is a display, 53 is a transmission/reception unit, 54 is a processing unit, and 55 is a storage unit.

Camera 50 is a camera that captures live footage of the performers. The footage captured by camera 50 is referred to as live footage. This live footage is input to processing unit 54.

The microphone 51 captures the performer's voice and outputs the captured voice to the processing unit 54.

The display 52 shows live footage captured by the camera 50.

The transmission/reception unit 53 transmits and receives data to and from the management server 2 via the communication line N.

The processing unit 54 comprehensively controls the operation of the performer shooting device 5 based on the program stored in the memory unit 55. The functions of the processing unit 54 can be realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, an ASIC, and an IC memory. The main functional units of the processing unit 54 are a fill signal generation unit 151, a key signal generation unit 152, and a live content data generation unit 153.

The fill signal generation unit 151 generates a fill signal for the performer in real time from the live video captured by the camera 50. The key signal generation unit 152 generates a key signal for the performer in real time from the live video captured by the camera 50. These processes can use, for example, chromakey technology.

The live content data generator 153 generates live content data including the performer's fill signal, key signal, and the performer's voice picked up by the microphone 51. This live content data is transmitted in real time to the management server 2 via the transmitter/receiver 53.

The management server 2 of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 20 is a block diagram of the management server 2 of the second embodiment. The management server 2 of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a real-time delivery unit 123 is added.

The real-time distribution unit 123 streams the live content data received from the performer shooting device 5 to a specified shooting device 1 in real time. The shooting device 1 to which the data is to be distributed is determined using the shooting device management database stored in the memory unit 23. FIG. 21 is an example of the shooting device management database in the second embodiment. In addition to the first embodiment, the shooting device management database shown in FIG. 21 has a field for indicating whether or not live streaming is enabled. The real-time distribution unit 123 transmits the received live content data to the shooting device 1 for which the live streaming field in the shooting device management database has a flag of "enabled".

When the image capture device 1 receives the live content data from the management database 2, it stores the data in the memory unit 17 and starts capturing an image of the user (subject) with the camera. The captured image is displayed on the display 11. Next, the image processing unit 154 uses the key signal of the live content data to combine a fill signal with the captured image of the user (Step 307 in FIG. 13). The image processing unit 154 then displays the combined image (video) on the display 11 (Step 308 in FIG. 13). The other processing is the same as in the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment, content data is generated from live footage of the performer, and the management device distributes the content live to each of the filming devices. This makes it possible for a single performer to simultaneously share a space with multiple users in different locations.

The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above embodiments and can be modified and implemented in various ways within the scope of its technical concept.
