Description

電子機器システム及び電子機器システム用プログラムElectronic device system and program for electronic device system
　本発明は、電子機器システム及び電子機器システム用プログラムに関し、特に、スマートフォン又はデジタルスチルカメラのような電子機器システム及び電子機器システム用プログラムに関する。 The present invention relates to an electronic device system and an electronic device system program, and more particularly to an electronic device system such as a smartphone or a digital still camera and an electronic device system program.
　従来、カメラ付きの電子機器として、携帯電話機、スマートフォン、タブレット型コンピュータなどがある。さらに、このカメラで撮影した画像情報に対して、その入力キーなどを通じて携帯電話機等に入力されたコメントなどのテキスト情報等を重ね合わせる等の編集機能を有するものもある。 Conventionally, there are mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, etc. as electronic devices with cameras. In addition, some image data captured by the camera have an editing function such as superimposing text information such as a comment input to a mobile phone or the like through an input key or the like.
　しかし、従来のカメラ付き携帯電話機等は、いわゆるデジタルスチルカメラ或いはデジタルムービーカメラほどの高解像度画像が得られるものは多くない。また、カメラ付き携帯電話機等は、通常、撮影された画像情報を内蔵メモリ等に格納することが多いが、その内蔵メモリ等の容量は、デジタルスチルカメラ等に着脱可能なメモリの容量に比して小さい。このため、従来のカメラ付き携帯電話機等は、デジタルスチルカメラ等に比して、撮影数或いは撮影時間が限定的である。 However, there are not many conventional camera-equipped mobile phones or the like that can obtain a high-resolution image as much as a so-called digital still camera or digital movie camera. In addition, camera-equipped mobile phones and the like usually store captured image information in a built-in memory or the like. Small. For this reason, the conventional camera-equipped mobile phone has a limited number of photographing or photographing time as compared with a digital still camera or the like.
　したがって、撮影という点に着目すると、従来のカメラ付き携帯電話機等は、デジタルスチルカメラ或いはデジタルムービーカメラといった専用機よりも、得られる画像の解像度、又は、撮影数或いは撮影時間といった面では劣る。 Therefore, focusing on shooting, conventional mobile phones with cameras are inferior in terms of image resolution, number of shots, or shooting time compared to dedicated machines such as digital still cameras or digital movie cameras.
　一方、デジタルスチルカメラ或いはデジタルムービーカメラには、いわゆるタッチパネル式ファインダーを備えているものがある。この種のデジタルスチルカメラ等にも、コメントなどのテキスト情報の入力が可能であって、そのテキスト情報を画像情報に対して重ね合わせる等の編集機能を有するものもある。 On the other hand, some digital still cameras or digital movie cameras have a so-called touch panel finder. Some digital still cameras and the like can input text information such as comments and have an editing function such as superimposing the text information on image information.
　しかし、このデジタルスチルカメラ等の場合には、一般的には、ファインダーのサイズが小さいため、カメラ付き携帯電話機等に比して、テキスト入力の点で劣る。 However, in the case of this digital still camera or the like, since the size of the finder is generally small, it is inferior in terms of text input as compared with a mobile phone with a camera.
　つまり、従来のカメラ付き携帯電話機等、或いは、デジタルスチルカメラ等は、いずれも、それら単独で、画像情報を撮像し、かつ、その画像情報に対して、入力されたテキスト情報等を重ね合わせる等の編集をしようとしたときに問題があった。 In other words, each of the conventional camera-equipped mobile phone or digital still camera, for example, picks up image information and superimposes input text information on the image information. There was a problem when trying to edit.
　そこで、本発明は、カメラ付き携帯電話機等とデジタルスチルカメラ等との双方の優位性をうまく利用した電子機器システムを提供することを課題とする。　 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device system that makes good use of the advantages of both a camera-equipped mobile phone and a digital still camera. *
　上記課題を解決するため、本発明の電子機器システムは、
　画像情報を表示する表示機器と、前記画像情報に紐付けさせたいテキスト情報の入力を受ける入力機器とを備え、
　前記画像情報と前記テキスト情報とのいずれかを前記入力機器と前記表示機器とのいずれかに送信し、受信先の機器にて前記各情報を紐付けて記録する。 In order to solve the above problems, an electronic device system according to the present invention includes:
A display device for displaying image information; and an input device for receiving input of text information to be associated with the image information,
Either the image information or the text information is transmitted to either the input device or the display device, and the information is linked and recorded by the receiving device.
　前記テキスト情報を入力する際に、前記表示機器に画像情報が表示されるようにしてもよい。こうすると、表示されている画像情報を見ながらテキスト情報を入力できるので好ましい。 The image information may be displayed on the display device when the text information is input. This is preferable because text information can be input while viewing the displayed image information.
　また、前記入力機器は、前記テキスト情報を前記表示機器へ送信する送信手段を有してもよい。これにより、上記各情報を表示機器において一体的に表示させることが可能となる。 In addition, the input device may include a transmission unit that transmits the text information to the display device. Thereby, it becomes possible to display each said information integrally on a display apparatus.
　さらに、前記表示機器は、前記画像情報を前記入力機器へ送信する送信手段を有してもよい。これにより、上記各情報を入力機器において一体的に表示させたり、上記各情報を他の電子機器等に対して送信させたりすることができる。 Furthermore, the display device may include a transmission unit that transmits the image information to the input device. Thus, the information can be displayed integrally on the input device, or the information can be transmitted to other electronic devices.
　前記表示機器としては、デジタルスチルカメラ、デジタルムービーカメラのいずれかを用いることができ、
　前記入力機器としては、スマートフォン、携帯電話機、タブレット型コンピュータ、ノート型パーソナルコンピュータのいずれかを用いることができる。 As the display device, either a digital still camera or a digital movie camera can be used,
As the input device, any one of a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a notebook personal computer can be used.
　なお、テキスト情報には、前記画像情報の作成前に前記入力機器に記録されている情報を含めてもよい。ここでいう情報とは、例えば、入力機器であるところのスマートフォンに含まれているカレンダー部によって管理されている、ユーザによって入力済みの予定などの情報である。 Note that the text information may include information recorded in the input device before the creation of the image information. The information here is information such as a schedule already input by the user, which is managed by a calendar unit included in a smartphone which is an input device, for example.
　また、本発明の電子機器システム用プログラムは、
　表示機器に表示される画像情報と入力機器から入力される前記画像情報に紐付けさせたいテキスト情報とのいずれかを前記入力機器と前記表示機器とのいずれかに送信するステップと、

FIG. 7 shows the operation of the digital still camera 1 after inputting an instruction to add a comment to the digital still camera 1 after the operation shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows the operation of the smartphone 30 that has received the operation shown in FIG.
　まず、本実施形態の電子機器システムの使用開始前に、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０との間で、相互に所望の指示、画像情報及びテキスト情報などの送受信を行えるようにして、以下説明する動作を実現するために必要な設定を行っておく。また、スマートフォン３０の動作は、内蔵するＣＰＵに対して、下記の種々の動作を実行させる専用アプリケーションプログラムを用いて実現するとよい。 First, before starting the use of the electronic device system of the present embodiment, the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30 can exchange desired instructions, image information, text information, and the like with each other. Make the necessary settings to achieve the operation. The operation of the smartphone 30 may be realized using a dedicated application program that causes the built-in CPU to execute the following various operations.
　上記設定がなされた状態で、ユーザによって、被写体８１の撮像を行うために、ファインダーであるところのディスプレイ６に被写体８１の画像を表示させた状態で、デジタルスチルカメラ１のシャッタ２が押下されたとする。 In the state where the above setting is made, the user has pressed the shutter 2 of the digital still camera 1 while the image of the subject 81 is displayed on the display 6 as a viewfinder in order to capture the subject 81. To do.
　図５に示すように、係る場合には、デジタルスチルカメラ１では、このシャッタ２の押下を検知することになる（ステップＳ１）。 As shown in FIG. 5, in this case, the digital still camera 1 detects the pressing of the shutter 2 (step S1).
　この結果、撮像部３１によって被写体８１が撮像され、その画像情報が記録部１２に出力される。また、日時管理部１０で管理されている日時情報に基づいて、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報が記録部１２に出力される。記録部１２では、これらの情報が一対で記録される（ステップＳ２）。 As a result, the subject 81 is imaged by the imaging unit 31, and the image information is output to the recording unit 12. Further, based on the date / time information managed by the date / time management unit 10, the date / time information when the pressing of the shutter 2 is detected is output to the recording unit 12. The recording unit 12 records these pieces of information as a pair (step S2).
　また、主として、相対的に短期間に被写体８１を複数撮像した後、或いは、被写体８１を撮像してから相対的に長期間経過した後に、スマートフォン３０を通じてテキスト情報の入力を行う場合などであっても、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０との間で、画像情報とテキスト情報との紐付けを的確に行えるようにするために、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、シャッタ２の押下を検知した場合には、その旨の信号、或いは、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報を、スマートフォン３０に向けて送信する（ステップＳ３）。 In addition, mainly when a plurality of subjects 81 are imaged in a relatively short period of time, or when text information is input through the smartphone 30 after a relatively long time has passed since the subject 81 was imaged. However, in order to accurately associate the image information and the text information between the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30, the digital still camera 1 detects that the shutter 2 is pressed, A signal to that effect or date / time information when the pressing of the shutter 2 is detected is transmitted to the smartphone 30 (step S3).
　図６に示すように、スマートフォン３０は、デジタルスチルカメラ１からシャッタ２の押下を検知した旨の信号、或いは、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報が送信されると、それを受信する（ステップＳ１１）。 As illustrated in FIG. 6, the smartphone 30 receives a signal indicating that the shutter 2 is pressed from the digital still camera 1 or the date / time information when the shutter 2 is pressed is received. (Step S11).
　スマートフォン３０は、デジタルスチルカメラ１から送信されたシャッタ２の押下を検知した旨の信号、或いは、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報を受信すると、選択的に、そのタイミングで、ＧＰＳ部４１で計測される現在位置の情報を記録部４３に出力する。この際、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報を受信した場合には、その日時情報と上記現在位置の情報とを一対で記録部４３に記録する。一方、シャッタ２の押下を検知した旨の信号を受信した場合には、日時管理部４０で管理されている日時情報を記録部４３に出力する。そして、当該日時情報と上記現在位置の情報とを一対で記録部４３に記録する（ステップＳ１２）。 When the smartphone 30 receives the signal transmitted from the digital still camera 1 indicating that the shutter 2 has been pressed or the date / time information when the shutter 2 has been pressed, the smartphone 30 selectively selects the GPS unit at that timing. Information on the current position measured at 41 is output to the recording unit 43. At this time, when the date / time information when the pressing of the shutter 2 is detected is received, the date / time information and the current position information are recorded in a pair in the recording unit 43. On the other hand, when a signal indicating that the shutter 2 has been pressed is received, the date and time information managed by the date and time management unit 40 is output to the recording unit 43. Then, the date and time information and the current position information are recorded as a pair in the recording unit 43 (step S12).
　なお、スマートフォン３０とデジタルスチルカメラ１との間で、シャッタ２の押下を検知した際の日時情報を送受信する場合には、日時管理部１０，４０間で日時情報にズレがあるときは、そのズレを補完するとよい。さもないと、相対的に短期間に被写体８１を複数撮像した場合などでは、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０との間で画像情報とテキスト情報との紐付け処理をする際に、これらの情報の対応関係がきちんととれなくなる場合があるからである。或いは、既知の時刻同期機能などによって、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０との間の日時情報のズレが生じないようにするとよい。 In addition, when transmitting / receiving date / time information when the pressing of the shutter 2 is detected between the smartphone 30 and the digital still camera 1, if the date / time information is misaligned between the date / time management units 10, 40, It is better to compensate for the deviation. Otherwise, when a plurality of subjects 81 are imaged in a relatively short period of time, when the image information and the text information are linked between the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30, This is because there is a case where the correspondence cannot be properly established. Alternatively, it is preferable that the date / time information is not shifted between the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30 by a known time synchronization function or the like.
　ここで、ユーザが撮影直後の画像情報に対して即座にコメントを付したいと考えた場合には、例えば、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０とを接続した状態で、スマートフォン３０に対してコメントを付したい旨の指示がユーザによって入力されることが考えられる。 Here, when the user wants to immediately add a comment to the image information immediately after shooting, for example, with the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30 connected, a comment is attached to the smartphone 30. It is conceivable that an instruction to do so is input by the user.
　スマートフォン３０では、この入力を検知すると、コメント入力モードに遷移して、図１に示すようなテキスト入力部３３を、ディスプレイ３５に表示すればよい。これにより、ユーザは、テキスト入力部３３を通じて、コメントのテキスト入力が行えるようになる。 When this input is detected, the smartphone 30 may transition to the comment input mode and display the text input unit 33 as shown in FIG. As a result, the user can input a comment text through the text input unit 33.
　そして、ユーザがテキスト入力部３３を通じて、コメントをテキスト入力し、それが完了して保存ボタンを押下するなどしてした場合には、記録部４３に記録済みの上記日時情報等と、当該テキスト情報とが一体で記録される。これにより、ユーザが入力したテキスト情報は、スマートフォン３０に記録されることになる。 When the user inputs a text through the text input unit 33 and completes and presses the save button, the date and time information recorded in the recording unit 43 and the text information are recorded. Are recorded together. Thereby, the text information input by the user is recorded in the smartphone 30.
　また、当該テキスト情報及び上記日時情報等は、スマートフォン３０から、デジタルスチルカメラ１へ送信することもできる。デジタルスチルカメラ１では、これらの情報を受信して、撮影済みの画像情報と一体で記録部１２に記録することができる。これにより、ユーザが入力したテキスト情報は、スマートフォン３０のみならず、デジタルスチルカメラ１にも記録されることになる。 Further, the text information and the date / time information can be transmitted from the smartphone 30 to the digital still camera 1. The digital still camera 1 can receive these pieces of information and record them in the recording unit 12 together with the captured image information. Thereby, the text information input by the user is recorded not only on the smartphone 30 but also on the digital still camera 1.
　なお、スマートフォン３０から送信されるテキスト情報等は、デジタルスチルカメラ１の記録部１２に記録することに代えて、デジタルスチルカメラ１に着脱可能なメモリに記録してもよい。本明細書では、デジタルスチルカメラ１に対して情報を記録するという場合には、この種のメモリに情報を記録する場合も含むものとする。同様に、スマートフォン３０に対して情報を記録するという場合には、スマートフォン３０に着脱可能なメモリに情報を記録する場合も含むものとする。 Note that text information and the like transmitted from the smartphone 30 may be recorded in a memory removable from the digital still camera 1 instead of being recorded in the recording unit 12 of the digital still camera 1. In this specification, the case where information is recorded on the digital still camera 1 includes the case where information is recorded in this type of memory. Similarly, the case where information is recorded on the smartphone 30 includes the case where information is recorded on a memory detachable from the smartphone 30.
　また、典型的には、スマートフォン３０にメモリが着脱できる場合には、デジタルスチルカメラ１からスマートフォン３０に対して撮像情報を送信して、当該撮像情報をユーザがスマートフォン３０に入力したコメントのテキスト情報とともに、スマートフォン３０に記録してもよい。この場合には、画像情報とテキスト情報とを、スマートフォン３０のメール手段などを通じて、図示しないパーソナルコンピュータ又はウェブサーバなどに送信することも可能となる。 Typically, when the memory can be attached to and detached from the smartphone 30, the image information is transmitted from the digital still camera 1 to the smartphone 30, and the text information of the comment that the user inputs to the smartphone 30. At the same time, it may be recorded on the smartphone 30. In this case, the image information and the text information can be transmitted to a personal computer or a web server (not shown) through the mail means of the smartphone 30 or the like.
　さらに、例えば、スマートフォン３０又はデジタルスチルカメラ１にサムネイル作成機能を備えることで、スマートフォン３０のディスプレイ３１に、複数の画像情報をサムネイル表示させ、それらの中からユーザがテキスト情報の紐付け対象の画像情報を選択するようにしてもよい。この際、テキスト情報との紐付けの有無に応じて、サムネイル画像の縁の色を変えるなどしてもよい。 Further, for example, by providing the smartphone 30 or the digital still camera 1 with a thumbnail creation function, a plurality of pieces of image information are displayed as thumbnails on the display 31 of the smartphone 30, and the user can select an image to be linked with text information from among them. Information may be selected. At this time, the color of the edge of the thumbnail image may be changed according to whether or not the text information is linked.
　また、スマートフォン３０では、画像情報をディスプレイ３１の例えば左上１／４程度のサイズの領域に表示し、かつ、その他の領域にテキスト情報の表示領域を表示するなどの画像処理を行ってもよい。 Further, the smartphone 30 may perform image processing such as displaying image information in an area having a size of, for example, about the upper left quarter of the display 31 and displaying a text information display area in other areas.
　もっとも、本実施形態では、ユーザからのコメントを付したい旨の指示を、スマートフォン３０で受けるのみでなく、デジタルスチルカメラ１でも受けられるようにしている。デジタルスチルカメラ１で受けた場合には、デジタルスチルカメラ１からスマートフォン３０に対して、コメント入力モードに遷移する指示を送信すればよい。その後のユーザによるスマートフォン３０等の操作と、これを受けてのスマートフォン３０の動作、さらに選択的なデジタルスチルカメラ１の動作は上記のとおりとすればよい。 However, in the present embodiment, the digital still camera 1 can receive not only the smartphone 30 but also the instruction to attach a comment from the user. When received by the digital still camera 1, an instruction to shift to the comment input mode may be transmitted from the digital still camera 1 to the smartphone 30. Subsequent operations of the smartphone 30 by the user, the operation of the smartphone 30 in response thereto, and the operation of the selective digital still camera 1 may be as described above.
　つぎに、主として、相対的に短期間に被写体８１を複数撮像した後、或いは、被写体８１を撮像してから相対的に長期間経過した後に、テキスト情報の入力を行う場合の動作について説明する。ここでは、ユーザからのコメントを付したい旨の指示を、デジタルスチルカメラ１で受けた場合を例に説明するが、これをスマートフォン３０で受けられることはいうまでもない。 Next, an operation in the case where text information is input after a plurality of subjects 81 are imaged in a relatively short period of time or after a relatively long period of time has passed since the subject 81 is imaged will be described. Here, a case where an instruction to attach a comment from the user is received by the digital still camera 1 will be described as an example, but needless to say, this can be received by the smartphone 30.
　図７に示すように、ユーザがデジタルスチルカメラ１に対してコメントを付したい旨の指示を入力して、それをデジタルスチルカメラ１で検知すると（ステップＳ２１)、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、記録部１２に記録されている、例えば、記録日時が最も古い画像情報から読み出して、ディスプレイ６に対して出力する。ユーザが、再生ボタン５等を操作すると、その次に記録日時が古い画像情報を読み出して、ディスプレイ６に対して出力する（ステップＳ２２）。 As shown in FIG. 7, when the user inputs an instruction to add a comment to the digital still camera 1 and is detected by the digital still camera 1 (step S21), the digital still camera 1 12 is read out from the image information having the oldest recording date, for example, and output to the display 6. When the user operates the playback button 5 or the like, the image information with the next oldest recording date is read and output to the display 6 (step S22).
　ここで、スマートフォン３０からデジタルスチルカメラ１に対して、既にテキスト情報が送信されているものについては、画像情報とともにこれに対応するテキスト情報を、併せてディスプレイ６に表示してもよい。これにより、ディスプレイ６の表示内容からも、既にテキスト情報が入力済みであるか否かを、ユーザが目視により把握することができる。 Here, for text information already transmitted from the smartphone 30 to the digital still camera 1, text information corresponding to the text information may be displayed on the display 6 together with the image information. Thereby, also from the display content of the display 6, a user can grasp | ascertain visually whether text information has already been input.
　したがって、ディスプレイ６の表示内容に基づいて、テキスト情報が入力済みでない画像情報につき、ユーザがテキスト情報を入力したいと考えた場合には、ユーザからの指示を受けてデジタルスチルカメラ１からスマートフォン３０に対して、コメント入力モードに遷移する指示をする際に、その画像情報の撮影に係る日時情報を付すとよい。これにより、スマートフォン３０では、既にステップＳ１２を実行することにより記録済みの日時情報と、これからユーザによって入力されるテキスト情報とを一体で記録部４３に記録することが可能となる。 Therefore, when the user wants to input text information for image information for which text information has not been input based on the display content of the display 6, the digital still camera 1 sends the smartphone 30 to the smartphone 30 in response to an instruction from the user. On the other hand, when instructing the transition to the comment input mode, it is preferable to attach date / time information related to the image information shooting. Thereby, in the smart phone 30, it becomes possible to record on the recording part 43 integrally the date information already recorded by performing step S12, and the text information input by a user from now on.
　ところで、ユーザの目視に頼ってテキスト情報の入力の有無を確認しようとすると、ディスプレイ６への表示対象の画像情報を、再生ボタン５等を何度も操作することによって切り替えなければならず、デジタルスチルカメラ１に記録されている画像情報数が多くなればなるほど、この操作が面倒になる場合もある。また、スマートフォン３０からデジタルスチルカメラ１にテキスト情報を送信していないときには、そもそも、ディスプレイ６に対して画像情報とともにテキスト情報を表示することができない。 By the way, when trying to confirm the presence or absence of input of text information by relying on the user's visual observation, the image information to be displayed on the display 6 must be switched by operating the playback button 5 or the like many times. As the number of pieces of image information recorded in the still camera 1 increases, this operation may become troublesome. In addition, when text information is not transmitted from the smartphone 30 to the digital still camera 1, text information cannot be displayed on the display 6 together with image information in the first place.
　このため、ユーザの目視に頼らずに画像情報に対するテキスト情報の入力の有無を確認できるようにすることも必要であろう。これを実現するには、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、画像をディスプレイ６に対して表示することなしに、単にスマートフォン３０に対してコメント入力モードに遷移する指示を送信する（ステップＳ２３）。 For this reason, it will also be necessary to be able to confirm the presence or absence of input of text information for image information without relying on the user's visual inspection. In order to realize this, the digital still camera 1 simply transmits an instruction to shift to the comment input mode to the smartphone 30 without displaying an image on the display 6 (step S23).
　この場合でも、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、後述するスマートフォン３０の処理が実行される結果、ディスプレイ６に対して、コメントが未入力の画像情報を出力することが可能となる（ステップＳ２４）。このため、ユーザは、そのコメントが未入力の画像情報を見ながら、スマートフォン３０を通じてコメントを入力することが可能となる。 Even in this case, the digital still camera 1 can output image information with no comment input to the display 6 as a result of the processing of the smartphone 30 described later (step S24). For this reason, the user can input a comment through the smartphone 30 while viewing the image information for which the comment has not been input.
　図８に示すように、スマートフォン３０では、図７のステップＳ２３が実行された結果、デジタルスチルカメラ１から送信される指示を受信すると、記録部４３に記録されている、デジタルスチルカメラ１からシャッタ２の押下を検知した旨の信号の受信日時等の情報のうち、記録日時が最も古い情報から順次参照していき、コメント入力がされていない日時情報を特定する（ステップＳ３１）。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the smartphone 30 receives an instruction transmitted from the digital still camera 1 as a result of executing step S <b> 23 of FIG. 7, the shutter from the digital still camera 1 recorded in the recording unit 43 is received. Among the information such as the reception date and time of the signal indicating that the depression of 2 is detected, the information with the oldest recording date and time is sequentially referred to, and the date and time information on which no comment is input is specified (step S31).
　そして、スマートフォン３０は、特定した日時情報をデジタルスチルカメラ１に送信する（ステップＳ３２）。この結果、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、コメント入力がされていない日時情報に対応する画像情報を特定できるので、ディスプレイ６に対して、コメントが未入力の画像情報を出力することが可能となる。 And the smart phone 30 transmits the specified date information to the digital still camera 1 (step S32). As a result, the digital still camera 1 can specify the image information corresponding to the date / time information for which no comment is input, so that it is possible to output image information with no comment input to the display 6.
　それから、デジタルスチルカメラ１は、ユーザからの指示があれば、図１に示すようなテキスト入力部３３をディスプレイ３５に表示して、テキスト入力が行えるようにスマートフォン３０に対して指示を送る（ステップＳ３３）。その後のスマートフォン３０の動作は、ユーザが撮影済みの画像情報に対して即座にコメントを付したいと考えた場合の動作と同様である。 Then, if there is an instruction from the user, the digital still camera 1 displays a text input unit 33 as shown in FIG. 1 on the display 35 and sends an instruction to the smartphone 30 so that the text can be input (step) S33). The subsequent operation of the smartphone 30 is the same as the operation when the user wants to immediately add a comment to the captured image information.
　なお、デジタルスチルカメラ１での撮影に先立って、ユーザがスマートフォン３０を操作することによって、カレンダー機能をアクティブにしてから、所要の日付に係る、場所、時間、予定内容等をテキスト入力部３３及びディスプレイ３５を通じて入力しておいた場合には、カレンダー部４５及び記録部４３によって、それらの情報が管理される。この場合には、選択的に、上記予定内容等もコメントと一体で記録されるようにしてもよい。 Prior to shooting with the digital still camera 1, the user operates the smartphone 30 to activate the calendar function, and then displays the text input unit 33 and the location, time, schedule contents, and the like related to the required date. When the information is input through the display 35, the information is managed by the calendar unit 45 and the recording unit 43. In this case, the scheduled content or the like may be selectively recorded together with the comment.
　また、本実施形態では、テキスト情報の内容を、ユーザが自由に追加、変更、削除できるようにしている。具体的には、例えば、デジタルスチルカメラ１のディスプレイ６に画像情報とこれに対応するテキスト情報とが表示され、かつ、デジタルスチルカメラ１とスマートフォン３０とが接続されている状態で、スマートフォン３０に対して、コメントを付したい旨の指示を入力するといったユーザの指示があれば、これをトリガに、コメント入力モードに遷移して、図１に示すようなテキスト入力部３３をディスプレイ３５に表示して、テキスト情報の追加等を行えるようにすればよい。 In the present embodiment, the user can freely add, change, or delete the contents of the text information.

　（実施形態２）
　図９は、本発明の実施形態２の電子機器システムの模式的な構成図である。図９には、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とを、ホルダー１００に装着している状態を示している。ホルダー１００は、デジタルカメラ１を受ける受け部１００Ａとスマートフォン３０を受ける受け部１００Ｂとに大別される。受け部１００Ａと受ける受け部１００Ｂとは、ヒンジ部１００Ｃなどを通じて接続されている。 (Embodiment 2)
FIG. 9 is a schematic configuration diagram of an electronic device system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 shows a state where the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1 are mounted on the holder 100. The holder 100 is roughly divided into a receiving unit 100A that receives the digital camera 1 and a receiving unit 100B that receives the smartphone 30. The receiving portion 100A and the receiving portion 100B are connected through a hinge portion 100C and the like.
　また、ホルダー１００は、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とを接続するために、マイクロＵＳＢ（Universal Standard Bus）コネクタなどの接続手段２１を備える。接続手段２１の両端は、各コネクタ７，３６に電気的に接続される。つまり、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とは、接続手段であるところの接続手段２１を通じて有線接続されている。 In addition, the holder 100 includes connection means 21 such as a micro USB (Universal Standard Bus) connector for connecting the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1. Both ends of the connection means 21 are electrically connected to the connectors 7 and 36. That is, the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1 are connected by wire through the connection means 21 that is a connection means.
　このようなホルダー１００を用いれば、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とを有線接続することができるので、両電子機器間で安定かつ高速での情報のやりとりを行うことができる。もちろん、ホルダー１００を用いることは必須ではなく、単に、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とを接続手段２１によって有線接続してもよい。 If such a holder 100 is used, since the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1 can be connected by wire, information can be exchanged stably and at high speed between the two electronic devices. Of course, the use of the holder 100 is not essential, and the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1 may be simply connected by wire via the connection means 21.
　なお、接続手段２１として、マイクロＵＳＢコネクタを用いると、そのハードウエアとソフトウエアとの少なくともいずれかを信号入力およびもしくは信号出力の位相が時系列で変わるように該USBコネクタの該信号端子を制御する同期信号の位相を逆転する（１８０度ずらす）ことによって、スマートフォン３０とデジタルカメラ１とを、双方向に二つの電子機器が接続できる。このため、既存のスマートフォン３０全体を制御するＯＳ（Operating System）を、本実施形態の電気機器システム用に変更しなくてもよい。 When a micro USB connector is used as the connecting means 21, the signal terminal of the USB connector is controlled so that at least one of the hardware and software changes the signal input and / or the phase of the signal output in time series. By reversing the phase of the synchronizing signal to be shifted (shifted 180 degrees), the smartphone 30 and the digital camera 1 can be connected to two electronic devices in both directions. For this reason, it is not necessary to change OS (Operating System) which controls the existing smart phone 30 whole for the electric equipment system of this embodiment.
　本発明の各実施形態では、電子機器としてデジタルスチルカメラ１及びスマートフォン３０を例に説明したが、これらに限定されるものではない。例えば、デジタルスチルカメラ１に代えてデジタルムービーカメラを用いることもできる。また、例えば、スマートフォン３０に代えて、タブレット型パーソナルコンピュータ或いはノート型パーソナルコンピュータを用いることもできる。 In each embodiment of the present invention, the digital still camera 1 and the smartphone 30 have been described as examples of electronic devices, but the present invention is not limited to these. For example, a digital movie camera can be used instead of the digital still camera 1. For example, instead of the smartphone 30, a tablet personal computer or a notebook personal computer can be used.
　また、画像処理としてデジタルスチルカメラ１での撮像情報を例に説明したが、これに代えて、パーソナルコンピュータ等を用いて作成されたＪＰＥＧ画像、ＢＭＰ画像など、いわゆる写真以外の画像情報とすることもできる。 In addition, the image information of the digital still camera 1 has been described as an example of image processing, but instead of this, image information other than so-called photographs such as JPEG images and BMP images created using a personal computer or the like is used. You can also.
