Abstract:
An information communication apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is provided with a communication unit for communicating with an external apparatus, a first acquiring unit for acquiring signal sent from positioning satelite, a second acquiring unit which uses the communication unit to acquire from the external apparatus signal that is sent from the positioning satelite and received by the external apparatus, a judging unit for judging whether the communication unit is connected to the external apparatus to communicate with said external apparatus, and a controlling unit for controlling the second acquiring unit to perform a process based on the acquired signal, when the judging unit determines that the communication unit is connected to the external apparatus, and for controlling the first acquiring unit perform a process based on the acquired signal, when the judging unit determines that the communication unit is not connected to the external apparatus.
Abstract:
An image capture apparatus is provided with an image capture unit and a communication unit, and is configured to: perform automatic transmission for automatically transmitting an image photographed with the image capture unit to an external device through the communication unit; switch and control a first functional mode for enabling a photography function, and a second functional mode for disabling the photography function and enabling a communication function in relation to image transmission; in a case in which an image is photographed in the first functional mode, record the photographed image as a transmission target image that is targeted for the automatic transmission; and even if the transmission target image is recorded, control the communication unit not to start automatic transmission of the transmission target image to the external device during the first functional mode, and control the communication unit to start automatic transmission of the transmission target image to the external device during the second functional mode.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, an image setting unit, an image selecting unit, and an image generating unit. The image acquiring unit acquires a plurality of images belonging to different groups. The image setting unit determines the number of images to be used for generation of a new image. The image selecting unit selects images of the number determined by the image setting unit from the plurality of images based on supplementary information of a plurality of images belonging to each of the different groups acquired by the image acquiring unit. The image generating unit generates a new image from the images selected by the image selecting unit.
Abstract:
The present invention is to realize a simple communication connection. A shooting system S includes: a display device 2 configured to change identifiers periodically so as to present an identifier; a management server 1 configured to share the identifier with the display device 2; and a user terminal 4 configured to acquire the identifier presented on the display device 2 when an identifier acquisition operation by a user is detected, and to transmit, to the management server 1, the acquired identifier and an operation instruction to operate a camera 3 identified by the acquired identifier. The management server 1 includes an information control block 114 which performs control to associate image data acquired with the camera 3 based on the operation instruction transmitted by the user terminal 4 with the identifier presented on the display device 2 when the identifier acquisition operation by the user is detected.
Abstract:
An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a communication unit, and a control unit which communicates with an external device by first or second communication systems. The first system maintains communication connection even if the apparatus and device are not in a predetermined operational mode for executing image transmission processing. The second system maintains communication connection if the apparatus and device are in the predetermined mode. The control unit can automatically transmit a photographed image to an external device through the communication unit by the second communication system, and switch and control first and second functional modes for enabling and disabling a photography function, respectively. Where an image is photographed in the first mode, the control unit records the image as a target for automatic transmission. If the transmission target image is recorded, automatic transmission is not started during the first mode, and started during the second mode.
Abstract:
An information communication apparatus includes a communication unit which communicates with an external apparatus connected thereto through a communication network, a first acquiring unit which acquires predetermined information not through the communication unit, and a second acquiring unit which acquires the predetermined information which the external apparatus has obtained from said external apparatus through the communication unit. In addition, the information communication apparatus includes a judging unit which judges whether the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus to communicate with each other, and a controlling unit which controls the second acquiring unit so as to perform an acquiring process, when the judging unit determines that the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes: a communication unit that communicates with an external image capture apparatus; a positioning unit that estimates a moving distance of the image capture apparatus; and a transmission unit that transmits to the external image capture apparatus, an instruction to control the image capture apparatus, depending on the moving distance estimated by the positioning unit, via the communication unit.
