Description

  The present invention relates to a system for creating an electronic album based on a plurality of image data. In particular, the present invention relates to a system for creating an electronic album in which each image data is associated with a position on a moving path when a user travels while imaging the image data.

  Conventionally, various systems have been proposed for creating electronic albums in which image data captured by a user during a trip (for example, a drive trip) is associated with a position on a travel route (travel route). As such a system, the image data captured by a digital camera and the like are input together with the moving route that the user has passed, and the position on the moving route is associated with each image data while the electronic album creator refers to the monitor that displays the moving route. This is known.

  By the way, in addition to storing image data captured during a trip as an electronic album, it is extremely important for the user to know the costs associated with the trip. In order to calculate travel expenses, it is necessary for the user to record travel expenses (train fares, high-speed charges, etc.) and accommodation expenses during the travel or to remember after the travel, which is very troublesome for the user.

In Patent Document 1, a portable terminal having a function of specifying the user's position is carried by the user, the user's movement path is calculated by appropriately recording the user's position, and the moving means is based on the movement path. And a travel expense clearing device that calculates a fare based on the moving means is disclosed. For example, in the case where the position information and the map information are linked and the moving route passes on a station or railway line, it is determined that the moving means is a train, and the train fare is calculated. In addition, the mobile terminal includes a display unit that allows manual input of accommodation expenses and the like.

  The mobile terminal 4 is, for example, a digital camera or a camera-equipped mobile phone having a GPS function.

  The electronic album creating system 2 is a computer for creating an electronic album by interactive processing with a person who creates the electronic album. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic album creating system 2 includes a control unit 20 that controls the entire system and a plurality of insertion slots. An electronic album creator using the system 2 having a drive device 22 for reading out image data and traveler position information recorded on the recording medium 12 inserted into one of the insertion slots, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. An input unit 24 for receiving various commands from and a monitor (display unit) 26 for displaying various information. A touch panel may be provided on the display screen of the monitor 26 and may be used as the input unit 24. In this embodiment, the creator of the electronic album with travel expense information is usually the traveler (user) himself, but may be another person.

  Referring to FIG. 4 which is a block diagram of control unit 20, the control unit has a display control unit 28 for controlling monitor 26 so as to display a predetermined display screen. When the input unit 24 receives a predetermined command from the album creator in a state where the recording medium 12 is inserted into the drive device 22, the display control unit 28 sends an electronic message to the album creator as shown in FIG. A menu screen for selecting either “album creation mode” for creating an album or “travel expense calculation mode” for calculating travel expenses is displayed.

  When the album creator selects “album creation mode” via the input unit 24, the control unit 20, as will be described below, the electronic album in which the position on the travel route (travel route) of the traveler is associated with the image data. Create. The created electronic album data is recorded on the recording medium 30 inserted into the insertion slot of the drive device by the drive device 22.

  The control unit 20 creates a travel route that creates data related to the travel route of the traveler based on the traveler location information (terminal location information) associated with the time stored in the recording medium 12 (obtained by the drive device 22). The unit 32 is provided. The travel route data includes each traveler position (position of the portable terminal 4) (coordinates such as longitude and latitude) and time obtained at predetermined time intervals, and time series information of the traveler position. The time series information is represented as a vector from a certain traveler position (coordinates) to the next oldest traveler position (coordinates) in time series, for example. The travel route data is stored in the travel route storage unit 33 (FIG. 3).

  The control unit 20 also associates the travel route data with the image data based on the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 and the image data stored in the recording medium 12 (obtained by the drive device 22). A creation unit 34 for creating an electronic album is provided. The electronic album creating unit 34 determines the travel route data and the image based on each traveler position (coordinates) and time of the travel route data, time series information of the traveler position, and image data in which the imaging time is associated. Create an electronic album with associated data. If the imaging time almost coincides with the time of the traveler position, the traveler position (coordinates) is associated with the image data (as a result, the image data and the movement route data are associated). When the imaging time t0 is different from the time of the traveler position, the travel route data and the image data are associated with each other using the time t1 of the traveler position p1 before the imaging time t0 and the time t2 of the traveler position p2 after. For example, it is assumed that the traveler has moved straight from position p1 to position p2 at a constant speed, and the position obtained by dividing the line segment connecting position p1 and position p2 into (t0-t1) :( t2-t0) is associated with the image data. (As a result, the image data and the movement route data are associated with each other).

  The electronic album created by the electronic album creating unit 34 is viewed by a traveler himself or the like with the recording medium 30 set on a personal computer or the like on a monitor. As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, on the display screen of the monitor, a symbol (for example, a person) V is displayed on the moving route together with the moving route R, and the image data on the moving route is displayed while the symbol moves on the moving route. When a certain position associated with is reached, the corresponding image is displayed on the monitor, and when a preset reproduction time has elapsed, the symbol V travels again on the movement route R, and the image data is associated with the next. When the position is reached, the corresponding image is displayed on the monitor (in other words, the viewer of the album appreciates the image in time series).

  When the electronic album creation process ends, the display control unit 28 determines whether or not to perform the “travel expense calculation mode” on the monitor 26 as shown in FIG. 5B when the “travel expense calculation mode” is not selected. A screen for selection is displayed to the user. When the album creator does not select the “travel expense calculation mode”, the display control unit 28 displays a screen (not shown) indicating the end on the monitor 26. The album creator receives the recording medium 30 on which only the electronic album is recorded. When the album creator selects the “travel expense calculation mode”, the display control unit 28, as shown in FIG. 5C, the number of adults participating in the trip, the number of children (preferably age in the case of children). To input user information related to the number of travelers (0, 1 etc.), such as the number of travelers (number of cars is also related to the number of travelers) and / or type (adults or children) This screen is displayed on the monitor 26. Information input by the album creator via the input unit 24 is stored in the user information storage unit 36 (FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 20 stores a map database 38 that stores map data including information on a transportation network such as route information of expressways and transportation facilities, IC information of expressways and location information of transportation stations, and the like. Is connected. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 20 uses the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 and the map data stored in the map database 38 to determine the type of travel means used by the traveler during the trip. (For example, a bus, a subway and its route) and a moving means / use section specifying unit 40 for specifying a section using the moving means. The traveling means / use section specifying unit 40 specifies that the traveler has used, for example, an expressway and the use section by comparing the travel route data with the traffic network information of the map data. When the “travel expense calculation mode” is selected on the screen of FIG. 5A, the travel route data is created by the travel route creation unit 32 in the travel expense calculation mode because the travel route data is not stored in the storage unit 33. It is supposed to be.

  The control unit 20 also includes a traffic cost calculation unit 42 for calculating the type of each moving means on the moving route specified by the moving means / use section specifying unit 40 and the transportation cost associated with the movement of the corresponding use section. For the purpose of calculating transportation costs, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 20 is connected to a transportation fee database 44 for storing transportation fees such as transportation fees and high-speed fees. The transportation cost calculation unit 42 is based on the type and use section of the moving means specified by the moving means / use section specifying unit 40 and the user information (for example, the number of adults and children) stored in the user information storage unit 36. The transportation cost generated during the trip is calculated with reference to the transportation fee stored in the transportation fee database 44. For example, assuming that two adults and one child (who should pay the children's fee) traveled, the moving means specifying unit 40 adds the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 and the map data stored in the map database 38. Based on this, for example, it is specified that the Keihan train was used from Demachiyanagi Station in Kyoto to Yodoyabashi Station in Osaka. The transportation cost calculation unit 42 refers to the transportation fee database 44 and calculates the transportation cost for the movement of the corresponding section as 1150 yen assuming that the fare of the corresponding section is 460 yen per adult and 230 yen per child. Further, when traveling by car, the moving means specifying unit 40 uses Hanwa Expressway from Wakayama IC to Matsubara IC, for example, based on the moving route data stored in the moving route storage unit 33 and the map data stored in the map database 38. Identify that you did. The transportation cost calculation unit 42 refers to the transportation fee database 44 and calculates a charge obtained by multiplying the number of high-speed charges 1600 yen of the corresponding section by the number of cars as the transportation cost required for the movement of the section. In consideration of the case where a plurality of bus routes with different toll systems exist on the same road, the map database 38 includes timetable data for each route. The bus route may be specified by referring to time information included in the route data.

  The control unit 20 further includes a transportation cost data creation unit 46 for creating transportation cost data (for example, the total amount and breakdown of transportation expenses) based on the transportation cost calculated by the transportation cost calculation unit 42. The transportation cost data is recorded on the recording medium 30 by the drive device 22 together with the electronic album data.

  When the travel expense calculation process ends, the display control unit 28 displays an end screen (not shown) on the monitor 26 when the “album creation mode” has been selected. When “album creation mode” is not selected, the display control unit 28 displays a screen for selecting to the album creator whether or not to perform the “album creation mode” on the monitor 26 as shown in FIG. (Album creator usually selects album creation mode).

  An example of the electronic album creation process with travel expenses of the electronic album creation system 2 having such a configuration will be described. First, when “album creation mode” is selected on the screen of FIG. 5A, first, the movement path creation unit 32 associates the time of the traveler read from the recording medium 12 by the drive device 22. The travel route data is created based on the obtained position information. The created travel route data is stored in the travel route storage unit 33. Next, the electronic album creating unit 34 moves the movement route data and the image data based on the movement route data stored in the movement route storage unit 33 and the image data in which the time read by the drive device 22 is associated. (As described above, in the present embodiment, the drive device 22 generates a plurality of pieces of image data in which position information of a user (traveler) associated with time and imaging time are associated. Configure the acquisition unit to acquire.). The electronic album is recorded on the recording medium 30 by the drive device 22.

  Thereafter, when the “travel expense calculation mode” is selected on the screen of FIG. 5B, the screen of FIG. 5C is displayed on the monitor 26, and the album creator receives predetermined user information via the input unit 24. As a result, the information is stored in the user information storage unit 36.

  Based on the map data stored in the map database 38 and the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33, the travel means / use section specifying unit 40 uses one or more travel means used by the traveler. Identify the type and corresponding usage interval. Subsequently, the transportation cost calculation unit 42 is stored in the transportation fee database 44, the type and usage section of the transportation means specified by the transportation means / use section identification unit 40, the user information stored in the user information storage unit 36, and the transportation fee database 44. Based on the traffic fee data, the traffic cost incurred in each usage section is calculated. The transportation cost data creation unit 46 creates transportation cost data based on the transportation cost calculated by the transportation cost calculation unit 42. The travel cost data is recorded on the storage medium 30 by the drive device 22.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user (traveler) can obtain the electronic album as well as information on the transportation cost generated accompanying the travel.

  Instead of providing the transportation cost calculation unit 42 and the transportation fee database 44, the display control unit 28 uses the type and usage of each transportation means on the monitor 26 based on the transportation means / usage section specified by the transportation means / use section specifying unit 40. The section may be displayed, and the album creator may be allowed to input the transportation cost via the input unit 24. In this case, the type of all moving means used during the trip and the corresponding usage sections may be displayed on the monitor 26 at a time, or the type and usage section of one moving means may be displayed and the input is completed. Then, it is possible to display the type and usage section of the moving means used next (in other words, the next oldest in time series). In any case, although the burden on the album creator is increased as compared with the present embodiment, the user (traveler) can easily obtain information on the generated transportation expenses at the same time as obtaining the electronic album. The type and use section of the moving means may be presented to the album creator by other presenting means such as voice instead of being displayed on the monitor 26.

  In the present embodiment, the electronic album creating unit 34 adds the image data associated with the time obtained by one terminal 4 carried by the traveler and the travel route data including the traveler location information associated with the time. On the basis of this, the image data and the travel route data are associated (in other words, the location information of the traveler associated with the time is acquired with the first storage unit and a plurality of image data associated with the imaging time is acquired. 2 is configured by the recording medium 12 of the portable terminal 4. The image data associated with the time and the traveler location information associated with the time are obtained by separate portable terminals (in other words, the first The first and second storage units may be configured by recording media of individual portable terminals.) For example, a digital camera that records image data in association with imaging time, and a mobile phone that includes a location information acquisition unit (for example, GPS signal reception unit) and a clock and records traveler location information in association with time are used. be able to. In this case, a recording medium for storing image data detachably provided on the digital camera and a recording medium for storing traveler position information detachably provided on the mobile phone are read by the drive device 22 of the electronic album creating system 2. To do.

  With reference to FIG. 2, a travel route creation unit is provided in the control unit 6 on the mobile terminal 4 side, and traveler location information (terminal location information) acquired by the location information acquisition unit 16 is stored in association with time ( A storage unit (apart from the recording medium 12) may be connected to the control unit 6 and the travel route data may be created based on the traveler position information stored in the storage unit. The movement path data is recorded on the recording medium 12 by the drive device 15 together with the image data associated with the imaging time. In this case, the imaging unit 8, the clock 14, and the position information acquisition unit 16 constitute an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of pieces of image data in which traveler position information associated with time and imaging time are associated.

  In the present embodiment, image data associated with an imaging time is used, but image data associated with an imaging position may be used instead. In this case, the drive device 22 constitutes an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of pieces of image data in which position information and imaging positions of users (travelers) associated with times are associated. The electronic album creation unit 34 associates the travel route data including the traveler position information associated with the time with the image data associated with the imaging position.

In the following description, constituent elements that are the same as or similar to those in the first embodiment are represented by the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals with appropriate subscripts added. The control unit 20A is similar to the control unit 20 (FIG. 4), but determines whether or not the traveler carrying the mobile terminal 4 has stayed in an area having a predetermined size for a predetermined period or longer. A unit 50 is further provided. The determination unit 50 uses the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 (as described above, including the traveler location information and time information) or the traveler location information and time stored in the recording medium 12. Based on the information, when the user stays in an area having a predetermined size for a predetermined period (for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or more), it is determined that a facility existing in the area is used. . The facility is, for example, a restaurant, an accommodation facility, an amusement park, or the like. When the facility use determination unit 50 determines that the traveler has used the facility, the display control unit 28A displays information related to the facility (for example, the time at which the facility was used (the time in the predetermined area)) on the monitor 26. A screen prompting you to enter the charges associated with the use of is displayed. FIG. 8 shows an example of such a screen. In this example, information related to all the facilities used during the trip is displayed on the monitor 26 at a time, but information related to one facility is displayed, and when the input is completed, it is used next (in other words, Alternatively, information related to the next oldest facility in time series may be displayed. The creator of the album (usually the traveler himself / herself) is charged via the input unit 24 the charges incurred by using the facility (for example, food expenses for restaurants, accommodation expenses for accommodation facilities, admission charges for amusement parks, etc.) Will be input.

  The control unit 20A also creates data related to the facility usage costs that accompany the trip based on the facility usage costs input via the input unit 24 (for example, the total of the facility usage costs, a breakdown, etc.) A facility usage cost data creation unit 52 is provided. The facility usage cost data created by the creation unit 52 is stored in the recording medium 30 by the drive device 22.

  According to the present embodiment, a user (traveler) can easily obtain information on facility use costs in addition to transportation costs at the same time as obtaining an electronic album, and therefore information on main costs incurred with travel. Can be easily obtained.

  In the case of large-scale facilities (for example, amusement parks), instead of having the electronic album creator (usually the traveler himself) manually enter the facility fee, a facility usage fee database is provided in the electronic album system, and travelers (portable terminals) Based on the position information and time information of 4), the facility usage fee (for example, entrance fee) may be automatically calculated. However, in this case, it is preferable to let the electronic album creator confirm the facility usage cost calculated via the monitor 26 or the like.

Embodiment 3
In the above embodiment, the imaging time is associated with the image data (for example, the imaging time is included in the Exif information of the digital camera), but the imaging time information is necessarily associated with the image data captured by the traveler. Is not limited. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the time is not associated with the image data read from the recording medium inserted in the drive device of the electronic album creating system, the time is associated with the album creator (usually the traveler himself). Is encouraged.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, the control unit 20 </ b> B of the album creating system according to the present embodiment adds image data read from the recording medium 12 by the drive device 22 in addition to the components of the control unit 20. The determination part 60 which determines whether the imaging time is matched is provided. When the association determination unit 60 determines that the image data is not associated with each other, the display control unit 28B displays a screen (not shown) that prompts the user to input an imaging time together with the image corresponding to the monitor 26. It is made to display. When the creator of the electronic album performs association through the input unit 24, data representing the correspondence between the image data and the imaging time is stored in the correspondence storage unit 62 (FIG. 10) connected to the control unit 20B. It is made to do. The electronic album creation unit 34 corresponds to the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 (this includes each traveler position (coordinates) and time, and time-series information of the traveler position). Based on the correspondence data stored in the relationship storage unit 62 and the image data stored in the recording medium 12 (that is, image data not associated with an imaging time and image data associated with an imaging time). Then, an electronic album in which image data and movement path data are associated is created.

  According to the present embodiment, even if image data to which image capturing time is not added is included, the image data can be included in the electronic album.

  Instead of inputting the imaging time, the electronic album creator may input information on the position where the imaging was performed. In this case, the image data associated with the imaging position can be associated with movement route data including each traveler position (coordinates).

Embodiment 4
In the third embodiment, it is determined whether or not the imaging time is associated with the image data. However, if the imaging position is associated even if the imaging time is not associated, the image data is It is possible to associate with travel route data. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when both the imaging time and the imaging position are not associated with the image data, the electronic album creator is associated with each other.

  The specific configuration is the same as that of the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, and image data read from the recording medium by the drive device 22 (acquisition unit) of the electronic album creation system (second image of claims) The correspondence determination unit 60 determines whether or not at least one of the imaging time and the imaging position is associated with the data), and if the imaging time and the imaging position are not associated with each other, the album creator (normally , The traveler himself / herself) is displayed on the monitor 26 to prompt the user to associate at least one of the imaging time and imaging position. Then, the electronic album creator is caused to perform association through the input unit 24, and data representing the correspondence between the image data and at least one of the imaging time and the imaging position is stored in the correspondence storage 62. The electronic album creation unit 34 corresponds to the travel route data stored in the travel route storage unit 33 (this includes each traveler position (coordinates) and time, and time-series information of the traveler position). Correspondence relationship data stored in the relationship storage unit 62 and image data stored in the recording medium 12 are associated with at least one of image data, image capturing position, and image capturing time that are not associated with either the image capturing time and the image capturing position. And an electronic album in which the image data and the movement route data are associated with each other.

  Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these and can be variously modified. For example, the control unit 20 acquires the map data and the traffic fee data from the map database 38 and the traffic fee database 44 provided in the computer 2, but the map database and / or the traffic fee database may be provided outside the computer 2. Good.

  Further, the traveler location information (user location information) and the image data may be transmitted to the electronic album creating system 2 by wire or wireless instead of using the portable recording medium 12. In this case, the traveler location information and image data reception unit constitutes an acquisition unit that acquires the location information of the traveler associated with the time and a plurality of image data associated with the imaging time or imaging position. Instead of recording the created electronic album on the recording medium 30, the electronic album data may be transmitted to an external terminal by wire or wireless (for example, the Internet).
