然而,目前可携式电子装置的摄影功能仍仅限于单机使用。也就是说,在同一时间内只能使用单一装置对物件的单一面进行拍照或录影,无法拍摄该物件在同一时间内的不同样貌,例如不同角度的样貌。即便使用多个装置来对物件进行拍照或录影,由于这些装置之间彼此无法沟通,因此也无法达到同一时间内的同步拍摄,结果使得可携式电子装置的摄影功能仍仅限于一般数码相机,无法与其他装置串连或整合。However, the photography function of the current portable electronic device is still limited to a single use. That is to say, only a single device can be used to take pictures or videos of a single side of an object at the same time, and it is impossible to take pictures of different appearances of the object at the same time, such as appearances from different angles. Even if multiple devices are used to take photos or videos of objects, since these devices cannot communicate with each other, they cannot achieve simultaneous shooting at the same time. As a result, the photography function of portable electronic devices is still limited to general digital cameras. Cannot be chained or integrated with other devices.

详细而言,图2是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的多装置的同步摄影方法的流程图。请参照图2,本实施例的方法适用于图1的同步摄影系统10,以下即结合图1中的各项元件,说明本实施例的同步摄影方法的详细步骤:In detail, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a synchronous photographing method for multiple devices according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 2, the method of the present embodiment is applicable to the synchronous photography system 10 of Fig. 1, promptly in conjunction with each element in Fig. 1 below, the detailed steps of the synchronous photography method of the present embodiment are described:
首先,由主装置14利用通信模块144传送连线请求至各个从属装置12的通信模块124,以建立主装置14与各个从属装置12之间的连接(步骤S202)。其中,主装置14例如可先搜寻周围装置并显示周围装置的清单以供使用者选择所要连线的对象,或是直接显示联络人清单以供使用者选择。此外,主装置14也可提供多种连线方式以供使用者选择,其中可包括有线或无线的连线方式,在此不设限。First, the master device 14 uses the communication module 144 to transmit a connection request to the communication module 124 of each slave device 12 to establish a connection between the master device 14 and each slave device 12 (step S202 ). Wherein, the main device 14 may, for example, first search for surrounding devices and display a list of surrounding devices for the user to select an object to be connected to, or directly display a list of contacts for the user to select. In addition, the main device 14 may also provide multiple connection methods for the user to choose, including wired or wireless connection methods, which are not limited here.
另一方面,各个从属装置12的通信模块124在接收到连线请求后,例如会先显示连线请求,然后再依照使用者下达的指示回传确认信息给主装置14。而主装置14的通信模块144在接收到各个从属装置12回传的确认信息后,即可将这些装置集合起来以建立一个拍摄群组,并将此拍摄群组的连接信息传送至各个从属装置12,使得各个从属装置12可根据此连接信息与主装置14及其他装置建立连接,从而在彼此之间传输数据。On the other hand, after receiving the connection request, the communication module 124 of each slave device 12 will display the connection request first, and then return a confirmation message to the master device 14 according to the user's instruction. After the communication module 144 of the master device 14 receives the confirmation information sent back by each slave device 12, these devices can be assembled to establish a shooting group, and the connection information of this shooting group can be sent to each slave device. 12, so that each slave device 12 can establish a connection with the master device 14 and other devices according to the connection information, so as to transmit data between each other.
需说明的是,上述的连接功能例如是由安装在主装置14中的一个应用程序(Application,APP)来执行。每当使用者执行此应用程序时,该程序即会显示装置或联络人清单以供使用者选择,并根据选择结果发送连线请求。相对的,各个从属装置12中也安装有相同或相对应的应用程序,而可由使用者手动启动,或是由从属装置12根据连线请求中的指示自动启动,在此不设限。详细而言,主装置14例如可在连线请求中夹带应用程序的程序代码,从而控制从属装置12自动执行对应的应用程序。即便从属装置12中没有安装此应用程序,也可根据此程序代码连线至应用程序商店或市集下载并安装应用程序,从而使得从属装置12可支持本实施例的同步摄影方法。It should be noted that, the above connection function is performed by an application program (Application, APP) installed in the main device 14 , for example. Whenever the user executes this application program, the program will display a device or contact list for the user to choose, and send a connection request according to the selection result. In contrast, each slave device 12 is also installed with the same or corresponding application program, which can be manually activated by the user, or automatically activated by the slave device 12 according to the instruction in the connection request, and there is no limitation here. In detail, for example, the master device 14 may carry the program code of the application program in the connection request, so as to control the slave device 12 to automatically execute the corresponding application program. Even if the application program is not installed in the slave device 12, the application program can be downloaded and installed by connecting to an application program store or market according to the program code, so that the slave device 12 can support the synchronous photography method of this embodiment.
回到图2的流程,主装置14与各个从属装置12会通过上述连接接收其中任一个装置传送的快门信号,以驱动主装置14的图像采集模块142与各个从属装置12的图像采集模块122同步拍摄图像(步骤S204)。其中,主装置14与从属装置12例如都有提供一个采用硬件或软件按键形式的快门按键(未绘示),藉此提供使用者按压以触发快门。而当使用者按压此快门按键时,对应的装置即会产生快门信号,并通过上述建立的连接传送给其他装置,藉此控制其他装置同时触发快门以拍摄图像。Returning to the process of FIG. 2 , the master device 14 and each slave device 12 will receive the shutter signal transmitted by any one of the devices through the above connection, so as to drive the image acquisition module 142 of the master device 14 to synchronize with the image acquisition module 122 of each slave device 12 Capture an image (step S204). Wherein, both the master device 14 and the slave device 12, for example, provide a shutter button (not shown) in the form of a hardware or software button, so as to allow the user to press to trigger the shutter. When the user presses the shutter button, the corresponding device will generate a shutter signal and send it to other devices through the connection established above, thereby controlling other devices to simultaneously trigger the shutter to take images.
需注意的是,考虑到各个装置彼此间因传输信息路径与软硬件设备的不相同而可能造成的信号传送延迟,本实施例还提供一种快门时间的延迟机制,以解决装置之间快门不同步的问题。详细而言,主装置14例如会在传送给各个从属装置12的连线请求中加入一个自动回馈信息的请求,以要求各个从属装置12在接收到连线请求后,立刻回传确认信息。藉此,主装置14在接收到各个从属装置12回传的确认信息后,即可根据其发送连线请求至接收确认信息之间的时间长短,判断其与各个从属装置12之间信号传送的信号延迟时间。最后,主装置14再将此信号延迟时间加入要传送给从属装置12的连接信息中,使得从属装置12可根据信号延迟时间决定其在接收到快门信号后所需延迟拍摄的秒数,从而达到不同位置的装置间的快门同步。It should be noted that, considering the signal transmission delay that may be caused by the differences between the transmission information paths and software and hardware devices between the various devices, this embodiment also provides a delay mechanism of the shutter time to solve the problem that the shutters between the devices are different. Synchronization problem. In detail, for example, the master device 14 will add a request for automatic feedback information in the connection request sent to each slave device 12, so as to require each slave device 12 to send back confirmation information immediately after receiving the connection request. In this way, after receiving the acknowledgment information returned by each slave device 12, the master device 14 can judge the signal transmission between it and each slave device 12 according to the length of time between sending the connection request and receiving the acknowledgment information. Signal delay time. Finally, the master device 14 adds the signal delay time to the connection information to be sent to the slave device 12, so that the slave device 12 can determine the number of seconds it needs to delay shooting after receiving the shutter signal according to the signal delay time, so as to achieve Shutter synchronization between devices at different locations.
当各个从属装置12完成图像拍摄后,即可通过上述连接将所拍摄的图像传送至主装置14(步骤S206)。最后则由主装置14的图像收集模块146通过上述连接收集各个从属装置12的图像采集模块122所拍摄的图像以及其本身图像采集模块142所拍摄的图像,而将所收集的图像一并传送到各个从属装置12(步骤S208)。After each slave device 12 completes the image capture, it can transmit the captured image to the master device 14 through the above connection (step S206 ). Finally, the image collection module 146 of the master device 14 collects the images taken by the image collection modules 122 of each slave device 12 and the images taken by its own image collection module 142 through the above connection, and transmits the collected images to Each slave device 12 (step S208).
需说明的是,主装置14中例如还包括拍摄设定模块(未绘示),其可用以在通信模块144传送给从属装置12的连线请求中加入拍摄图像的设定值,藉以控制各个从属装置12依照此拍摄设定来拍摄图像,从而获得拍摄条件、环境或结果一致的图像。上述的拍摄设定例如是拍摄图像所使用的拍摄模式(包括光圈先决模式、快门先决模式、手动模式、自动模式等)、拍摄参数以及所拍摄图像的文件格式、图像尺寸、图像样式其中之一或其组合,在此不设限。It should be noted that, for example, the master device 14 also includes a shooting setting module (not shown), which can be used to add the setting value of the shooting image in the connection request sent by the communication module 144 to the slave device 12, so as to control each The slave device 12 captures images according to the shooting settings, so as to obtain images with consistent shooting conditions, environments or results. The aforementioned shooting settings are, for example, the shooting mode used for shooting images (including aperture priority mode, shutter priority mode, manual mode, automatic mode, etc.), shooting parameters, and one of the file format, image size, and image style of the captured image. Or a combination thereof, without limitation.
藉由上述方法,即可达到不同装置之间的同步摄影及文件分享,方便使用者记录同一拍摄物在同一时间的不同图像,从而增加装置拍摄图像的功能性。With the above method, synchronous photography and file sharing between different devices can be achieved, which is convenient for users to record different images of the same subject at the same time, thereby increasing the functionality of the device for capturing images.
值得一提的是,上述同步拍摄的图像若是针对同一个拍摄物所拍摄,则根据各个装置的拍摄位置及角度,还可进一步将所有图像合并,从而生成该拍摄物的时间冻结图像。It is worth mentioning that if the above-mentioned synchronously captured images are taken for the same object, all the images can be further merged according to the shooting positions and angles of each device, so as to generate a time-frozen image of the object.

An example is given below in detail.
图4是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的多装置的同步摄影方法的流程图。请参照图4,本实施例的方法适用于图3的同步摄影系统30,以下即结合图3中的各项元件,说明本实施例的同步摄影方法的详细步骤:FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a synchronous photographing method for multiple devices according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 4, the method of the present embodiment is applicable to the synchronous photography system 30 of Fig. 3, promptly in conjunction with each element in Fig. 3 below, illustrate the detailed steps of the synchronous photography method of the present embodiment:
首先,由主装置34利用通信模块344传送连线请求至各个从属装置32的通信模块324,以建立主装置34与各个从属装置32之间的连接(步骤S402)。First, the master device 34 uses the communication module 344 to transmit a connection request to the communication module 324 of each slave device 32 to establish a connection between the master device 34 and each slave device 32 (step S402 ).
其中,从属装置32在通信模块324接收到连线请求时,例如会利用定位模块326取得其目前所在位置的位置信息,并回传给主装置34。相对的,主装置34在发送连线请求的同时,也例如会利用定位模块348取得其目前所在位置的位置信息(步骤S404)。Wherein, when the communication module 324 receives the connection request, the slave device 32 uses the positioning module 326 to obtain the location information of its current location, and sends it back to the master device 34 . On the contrary, when the main device 34 sends the connection request, it also uses the positioning module 348 to obtain the location information of its current location (step S404 ).
接着,由主装置34与各个从属装置32通过上述连接接收其中任一个装置传送的快门信号,以驱动主装置34的图像采集模块342与各个从属装置32的图像采集模块322同步拍摄图像(步骤S406)。之后,各个从属装置32即通过上述连接将所拍摄的图像传送至主装置34(步骤S408)。Next, the shutter signal transmitted by any one of the devices is received by the master device 34 and each slave device 32 through the above-mentioned connection, so as to drive the image acquisition module 342 of the master device 34 and the image acquisition module 322 of each slave device 32 to take images synchronously (step S406 ). Afterwards, each slave device 32 transmits the captured image to the master device 34 through the above connection (step S408 ).
然后,由主装置34的图像收集模块346通过上述连接收集各个从属装置32的图像采集模块322所拍摄的图像以及主装置34的图像采集模块342所拍摄的图像(步骤S410)。最后,由图像合并模块350根据主装置34与各个从属装置32的位置信息,将图像收集模块346收集的图像合并为时间冻结图像(步骤S412)。详细而言,若主装置34及从属装置32均围绕着一个特定拍摄物放置,并以朝向该拍摄物的方向同步拍摄图像,图像合并模块350即可依照各个装置的位置及拍摄方向,依次将这些图像串连成该拍摄物在同一时间中不同方位的连续图像,从而生成所谓的时间冻结图像。Then, the image collection module 346 of the master device 34 collects the image captured by the image capture module 322 of each slave device 32 and the image captured by the image capture module 342 of the master device 34 through the above connection (step S410). Finally, the images collected by the image collection module 346 are merged into a time-freeze image by the image merging module 350 according to the location information of the master device 34 and each slave device 32 (step S412 ). In detail, if both the master device 34 and the slave device 32 are placed around a specific subject and take images synchronously towards the subject, the image combining module 350 can sequentially combine the These images are concatenated into successive images of the subject in different orientations at the same time, resulting in a so-called time-frozen image.
最后,由主装置34的通信模块344通过上述连接将时间冻结图像传送至各个从属装置32(步骤S414),使得各个装置的使用者均可看到合并后的时间冻结图像。Finally, the communication module 344 of the master device 34 transmits the time-freeze image to each slave device 32 through the above connection (step S414 ), so that users of each device can see the merged time-freeze image.
藉由上述方法,即可将不同装置同步拍摄的图像整合,而产生具有时间冻结效果的图像,从而增加装置拍摄图像的功能性。By means of the above method, images captured synchronously by different devices can be integrated to generate an image with a time-freezing effect, thereby increasing the functionality of images captured by the device.
综上所述,本发明的多装置的同步摄影方法及系统藉由在多个装置中安装特定的应用程序,而在有装置发起同步摄影时,即自动建立装置间的连接。使得此系统中的每个装置都能够触发其他装置的快门以拍摄图像。此外,各个装置所拍摄的图像可由装置自行处理或是统一由主装置处理后,再由主装置收集并分享给所有装置,从而达到图像同步拍摄及分享的功效。To sum up, the multi-device synchronous photography method and system of the present invention install specific application programs in multiple devices, and when a device initiates synchronous photography, the connection between the devices is automatically established. This enables each device in the system to trigger the shutters of the other devices to take an image. In addition, the images captured by each device can be processed by the device itself or processed by the main device, and then collected by the main device and shared with all devices, so as to achieve the effect of synchronous shooting and sharing of images.
