Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for a photographer to get his or her hand off a camera and to change control states speedily by controlling the control state of the camera by a voice. CONSTITUTION:A voice switch correspondence storage part 4 is stored with a voice signal which is inputted from a microphone 1 and encoded by a voice recognition part 2 previously and when a voice is inputted from the microphone 1, the voice recognition part 2 sends a code corresponding to the voice to a mode switching control part 5. A mode switching control part 5 searches for a switch 3 corresponding to the code in the voice switch correspondence storage part 4 and informs a camera control part 6 that the corresponding switch 3 is pressed. The camera control part 6 changes and controls the state of the camera corresponding to the switch 3. Consequently, the control state can be changed speedily without pressing the switch 3 by getting the hand or finger off the camera.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はカメラ制御方式に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a camera control method.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来のカメラ制御方式においては、スイッチを押すこと
によりカメラの制御状態を制御する方法がとられていた
。In conventional camera control systems, the control state of the camera is controlled by pressing a switch.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

したがって従来のカメラ制御方式には次のような課題が
ある。すなわち、カメラのファインダーをのぞいている
ときに制御状態を変更するには、カメラを固定している
指や手を一度離しスイッチを押すため、速やかな制御状
態の変更を行ない難く、また，カメラ自体が動いてしま
い、撮影者が、一度決めた画像を、もう一度決め直さな
ければならないという欠点がある。Therefore, the conventional camera control method has the following problems. In other words, to change the control state while looking through the camera's viewfinder, you must release your finger or hand from the camera and press the switch, which makes it difficult to change the control state quickly, and the camera itself The disadvantage is that the camera moves and the photographer has to re-determine the image once determined.

A voice switch corresponding storage section storing the encoded voice signal and a switch corresponding to the code sent from the voice recognition section are searched from the voice switch corresponding storage section and reporting that the corresponding switch has been pressed. A mode switching control section that outputs a signal; and a camera control section that inputs the outputs of the voice recognition section and the mode switching control section and controls the camera by changing the state of the camera so as to correspond to the state of the switch. It is characterized by

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

次に本発明について図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

第１図は本発明の一実施例のブロック図である。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

音声スイッチ対応記憶部４は、あらかじめ音声認識部２

６へ、対応するスイッチ３が押されたことを報告する。The voice switch compatible storage unit 4 is configured in advance by the voice recognition unit 2.
The audio signal input from the microphone 1 corresponding to the audio signal and encoded by the audio recognition unit 2 is stored. When a voice is input from the microphone 1, the voice recognition section 2 sends a code corresponding to the voice to the mode switching control section 5. The mode switching control section 5 searches the voice switch correspondence storage section 4 for the switch 3 corresponding to the code sent from the voice recognition section 2, and reports to the camera control section 6 that the corresponding switch 3 has been pressed.

カメラ制御部６は、スイッチ３に対応するようにカメラ
の状態を変更して制御する。The camera control unit 6 changes the state of the camera to correspond to the switch 3 and controls it.

〔発明の効果〕〔Effect of the invention〕

以上説明したように本発明は、カメラの制御状態を音声
