<Overview of imaging device>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a main configuration of a camera 100 equipped with a display device according to an embodiment. In FIG. 1, the image pickup lens 201 is interchangeably configured and is used by being attached to the body of the camera 100.
The image pickup lens 201 may be incorporated into the body of the camera 100 to form an integral configuration.

The image pickup lens 201 guides the light from the subject to the image pickup element 202. The image sensor 202 photoelectrically converts the incident subject light. The control unit 203 is composed of, for example, a CPU and controls the imaging operation of the camera 100. Specifically, it performs control such as drive control at the time of photoelectric conversion for the image sensor 202 and reading out a pixel signal after photoelectric conversion from the image sensor 202.

In addition, the control unit 203 can perform face detection control to detect a face included in the captured image by analyzing the captured image (image file). In addition, the control unit 203 can perform main subject detection control for detecting the main subject included in the captured image by analyzing the captured image. The main subject can be, for example, a subject corresponding to a face, a largest subject, a subject closest to the center of the shooting screen, a subject in focus, or the like among the subjects included in the captured image.

In addition, the control unit 203 can perform composition detection control to detect the composition of the captured image by analyzing the captured image. Further, the control unit 203 analyzes whether or not processing such as retouching is performed based on the shooting information recorded at the predetermined data position of the image file, and records the data at the predetermined data position of the image file. Data analysis control that analyzes the difference in file format based on the file format can be performed. The control unit 203 also writes data to the recording medium 209, reads data from the recording medium 209, and controls display on the display unit 208, which will be described later.

The pixel signal read from the image sensor 202 is sent to the image processing unit 207. The image processing unit 207 performs predetermined image processing on the pixel signal. The image data after image processing is recorded as an image file on a recording medium 209 such as a memory card by the control unit 203.
The data to be recorded on the recording medium 209 is not limited to the data after the image processing by the image processing unit 207, but may be the so-called RAW data before the image processing.

The memory 204 is used, for example, as a work memory by the control unit 203, and also as a memory for temporarily recording image data before and after image processing by the image processing unit 207. The release button 205 sends an operation signal corresponding to a half-press operation or a full-press operation to the control unit 203. The operation member 206 is composed of various operation members such as a play button and a menu button. The operation member 206 transmits an operation signal corresponding to each operation to the control unit 203.
Send to. The operation member 206 also includes a touch operation member provided on the panel surface of the display unit 208.

The display unit 208 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display panel. The display unit 208 displays a reproduced image reproduced based on the image data, displays an operation menu screen, and the like.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the back surface of the camera 100. In FIG. 2, a play button 206a, a menu button 206b, an enlargement button 206c, an execute button 206d, a delete button 206e, and a cross button 206f that constitute the operation member 206 are provided around the display unit 208.
Note that FIG. 2 illustrates a part of the buttons and the like constituting the operation member 206.

When the playback button 206a is pressed, the control unit 203 reads image data for display from the image file recorded on the recording medium 209, and causes the display unit 208 to display the reproduced image based on the image data. The image data for display is image data having a smaller number of pixels than the main image data. The image data for display may be, for example, resizing data in which the number of pixels is reduced according to the display resolution of the display unit 208. It is preferable that the image data for display is created at the same time as the main image data at the time of shooting or before the next main image data is generated. Since the image data for display stored in advance in the image file is used and displayed on the display unit 208, the main image data read from the image file at the time of display is resized and then displayed. , The processing load by the control unit 203 can be reduced, and the display can be performed quickly.

The control unit 203 may generate a plurality of resizing data having a smaller number of pixels than the main image data, and may use each of the plurality of resizing data for display, or may be used for purposes other than display. It is preferable that the control unit 203 records the main image data and at least one resizing data in association with each other (for example, in one file) on the recording medium 209 (for example, in a single file).
Hereinafter, recording the main image data and at least one resizing data in association with each other on the recording medium 209 is referred to as a multi-picture format).

FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a reproduced image displayed on the display unit 208. When the enlargement button 206c is pressed, the control unit 203 causes the display unit 208 to display a reproduced image (referred to as an enlarged image) in which the display magnification of the reproduced image being displayed on the display unit 208 is increased. When the delete button 206e is pressed, the control unit 203 deletes the image file corresponding to the reproduced image displayed on the display unit 208 from the recording medium 209.

The control unit 203 causes the display unit 208 to display a setting menu screen (not shown) when the menu button 206b is pressed. When the execution button 206d is pressed, the control unit 203 executes a process corresponding to a selected item in the setting menu displayed on the display unit 208.

When the cross button 206f is pressed, the control unit 203 switches the display content according to the operation direction. For example, when the reproduced image is displayed on the display unit 208, if the operation direction of the cross button 206f is to the left, the reproduced image displayed on the display unit 208 is switched to the reproduced image one frame before. Specifically, the image data for display is read from the image file recorded immediately before the image file corresponding to the reproduced image displayed on the display unit 208, and the reproduced image based on this image data is displayed on the display unit 208. Display it.

Further, when the playback image is displayed on the display unit 208, the control unit 203 changes the playback image displayed on the display unit 208 to the playback image one frame later if the operation direction of the cross button 206f is to the right. Switch. Specifically, the image data for display is read from the image file recorded after one of the image files corresponding to the reproduced image being displayed on the display unit 208, and the reproduced image based on this image data is displayed on the display unit 208. Let me.

For example, when the setting menu screen is displayed on the display unit 208, the control unit 203 displays the selection item in the setting menu above the current selection item if the operation direction of the cross-shaped button 206f is upward. Switch to the item you have. Further, the control unit 203 is a display unit 20.
When the setting menu screen is displayed in 8, if the operation direction of the cross-shaped button 206f is downward, the selection item in the setting menu is switched to the item displayed below the current selection item.

<Imaging>
The camera 100 described above captures a subject image projected on the image sensor 202 by the image pickup lens 201. It is configured to enable single-frame imaging in which one frame is imaged in response to a full-press operation of the release button 205, and continuous shooting in which a plurality of frames are continuously imaged while the release button 205 is fully pressed.
In addition, it may be configured to perform moving image imaging that captures a subject image at a predetermined frame cycle.

<Exposure control>
The control unit 203 adjusts the exposure time (charge accumulation time) of the image sensor 202 according to the brightness of the subject, adjusts the sensitivity of the image sensor 202, and the like, and so on.
Exposure control is performed to set the pixel signal level of the image acquired in step 2 to an appropriate level.

<Record>
The control unit 203 generates an image file to be recorded on the recording medium 209. The control unit 203 includes image data (main image data and image data for display) based on the pixel signal read from the image sensor 202 in the image file. The image file is recorded in the folder provided in the recording medium 209. In the present embodiment, an upper limit is set for the number of image files to be recorded in one folder, and the upper limit is the number of image files in the folder (for example, 1).
When it reaches 00 frames), the control unit 203 automatically creates a new folder or in response to an operation signal from the operation member 206. Then, the control unit 203 records the image file in the generated folder.

In the continuous shooting mode in which continuous shooting is performed and the image is recorded, the control unit 203 repeats the operation of recording the image data based on the pixel signal read from the image sensor 202 on the recording medium 209.

<Display on display>
The control unit 203 is in the case where the play button 206a is pressed as described above.
Among the image files recorded on the recording medium 209, for example, the image data for display is read from the most recently recorded image file. Then, the reproduced image based on the read image data is displayed on the display unit 208.

In FIG. 3A, the control unit 203 displays the reproduced image 31 at the upper part of the screen of the display unit 208 and displays the image information at the lower part of the screen of the display unit 208. The image information includes, for example, a folder name 33, a file name 34, a shooting date / time 35, and an image size 36.
The image information may include items other than the above four types, or may omit the display of the above four types of items.

The folder name 33 indicates a folder name in which the image file corresponding to the reproduced image 31 is recorded. The file name 34 indicates an image file name corresponding to the reproduced image 31. The shooting date / time 35 indicates the shooting date / time of the image file. The image size 36 indicates the image size of the corresponding main image data.
The control unit 203 further displays the frame number 32 in the upper right corner of the reproduced image 31.

<Operation to touch the display>
The camera 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to switch the reproduced image 31 displayed on the display unit 208 by performing a contact operation on the touch operation member 206 provided on the panel surface of the display unit 208. To.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an image of an image file recorded on the recording medium 209. For example, seven frame image files from frame 1 to frame 7 are recorded. In FIG. 4, the imaging time of the frame 1 is the earliest, and the imaging time of the frame 7 is the latest. In the case of this example, the image file of frame 7 is the most recently recorded image file.
The images of frames 1 to 7 may be single shot images or a series of continuously shot images, but here, an example of continuously shot images will be described.

(Difference in area)
FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a first operation area 206U and a second operation area 206D.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the panel surface of the display unit 208 (touch operation member 2).
The operation surface of 06) is divided into a first operation area 206U and a second operation area 206D. The first operation area 206U corresponds to, for example, the display range of the reproduced image 31, and the second operation area 206D corresponds to the display range of the above-mentioned image information (folder name 33, shooting date / time 35, image size 36).

(One frame forward / one frame back)
The control unit 203 is the first in a state where the reproduced image 31 is displayed on the display unit 208 (FIG. 3 (a)).
When the operation area 206U is flicked, the frame for displaying the reproduced image 31 is switched back and forth. Specifically, when a flick operation is performed on the panel surface of the display unit 208 to shift the finger or the like touching the first operation area 206U to the right by the first distance as illustrated in FIG. 3 (b).
The control unit 203 switches the frame for displaying the reproduced image 31 to the previous frame (back by one frame).
The direction of the flick operation for returning one frame does not have to be strictly to the right, and the display unit 208
The direction of the panel surface may be diagonally upward to the right or diagonally downward to the right.

For example, when the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 of FIG. 4 is displayed before the flick operation, the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 is slid to the right toward the right edge of the screen and is slid to the right.
The reproduced image corresponding to frame 4 is slid from the left edge of the screen to the right. FIG. 3C is a diagram illustrating a display screen by the display unit 208 during one frame return. A pseudo frame frame 37 indicating the boundary between the frame 4 and the frame 5 is displayed between the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 and the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 4 in the slide. FIG. 3 (d) shows the display unit 20 after the end of returning one frame.
It is a figure which illustrates the display screen by 8. The reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 4 is displayed on the display unit 208.

Similarly, when the control unit 203 performs a flick operation of shifting the finger or the like touching the first operation area 206U to the left by the first distance on the panel surface of the display unit 208, the reproduced image 31
Switch the frame to display after one frame (one frame advance). The direction of the flick operation for advancing one frame does not have to be strictly to the left, and may be a direction diagonally upward to the left or diagonally downward to the left on the panel surface of the display unit 208.

(When display is restricted)
In the present embodiment, the display unit 208 can be set to allow / disallow display for each folder. The control unit 203 targets the image files recorded in the folder that allows display (folder that is not set not to allow) to be displayed by the display unit 208, and sets the folder to which the display is not permitted. The recorded image file is not displayed on the display unit 208.

The setting for allowing / disallowing the display on the display unit 208 for the folder is made, for example, on the setting menu screen. In the specification of the present application, a folder that is permitted to be displayed is referred to as a viewable folder, and a folder that is not permitted to be displayed is referred to as a restricted viewing folder.

In the present embodiment, the viewing restricted folder in one frame advance / one frame return is handled as follows. That is, when no setting for disallowing display is made, the control unit 203 advances the viewable folders frame by frame in the order of the folder names, and sets the folder names for the viewable folders. The frames are returned in descending order. For the image files in the folder, frame advance is performed in ascending order in the order of the image file names, and frame advance is performed in descending order in the order of the image file names.

Then, the control unit 203 sets the final frame in the current folder by moving forward by one frame and returning by one frame.
Or, when the first frame in the current folder is reached and the next folder is a viewing restricted folder, the image proceeds to the next viewable folder across the viewing restricted folder, and the first frame or the last frame of the viewable folder is reached. Display the playback image based on the image file of.

(Finger position during flick operation)
The control unit 203 continuously touches the panel surface of the display unit 208 even when the position of the finger during the flick operation deviates from the first operation area 206U and enters the second operation amount area 206D. If so, the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38, which will be described later, is not displayed.

(Fast forward / fast rewind)
5 (a) to 5 (d) are diagrams for explaining fast forward / rewind. When the second operation area 206D is touched in the state where the reproduced image 31 is displayed on the display unit 208 (FIG. 5 (a)), the control unit 203 performs the second operation as shown in FIG. 5 (b). Instead of the image information (folder name 33, shooting date / time 35, image size 36) displayed in the area 206D, the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 is displayed in the second operation area 206D, and the mode is switched to the fast-forward / fast-rewind mode. Inform.

The control unit 203 keeps touching the panel surface of the display unit 208 with a finger or the like while the control unit 203 is continuously touched.
The display of the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 is maintained, and the fast-forward / fast-rewind mode is continued. Control unit 20
3. When the finger or the like moves away from the panel surface of the display unit 208, the display of the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 is terminated, and the fast-forward / fast-rewind mode is canceled. The control unit 203 is the second operation area 206D.
When the display of the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 is finished, the display of the second operation area 206D is returned to the display of the image information (folder name 33, shooting date / time 35, image size 36).

In the fast-forward / fast-rewind mode, the user moves the finger or the like touching the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 in the direction in which the fast-forward is desired. In the present embodiment, when the swipe operation of shifting the finger or the like to the right by the first distance is detected, the control unit 203 fast-forwards. For example, FIG. 4 before the swipe operation.
When the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 is displayed, the control unit 203, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), replaces the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 with the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 6. Is displayed. The display switching of the reproduced image 31 is different from the display of sliding the reproduced image in the left-right direction as in the case of one frame advance / one frame return, and the display in the first operation area 206U is switched at once. The direction of the swipe operation for fast-forwarding does not have to be strictly right, and may be diagonally upward to the right or diagonally downward to the right on the panel surface of the display unit 208.

The control unit 203 corresponds to the swipe operation amount (that is, the amount moved from the position (reference position) first touched by a finger or the like in the second operation area 206D), and the feed amount (the number of frames to fast forward / rewind). To determine. That is, the larger the swipe operation amount (second operation area 2).
The feed amount is increased as the distance for shifting the finger or the like touching the 06D is larger, and the feed amount is decreased as the swipe operation amount is smaller (the smaller the distance for shifting the finger or the like touching the second operation area 206D). When the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 of FIG. 4 is displayed before the swipe operation, the swipe operation amount in FIG. 5 (d) is larger than that in the case of FIG. 5 (c). Therefore, the control unit 20
In No. 3, the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 is switched to the reproduced image corresponding to the frame 6, and the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 6 is further switched to the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 7 for display.

In the present embodiment, an index for indicating a guideline for the swipe operation amount is displayed. According to FIG. 5B, an index 38 m is provided for every 1/4 of the length of the fast-forward / fast-rewind bar 38 in the left-right direction. For example, if the swipe operation amount is 1/4 in the left-right direction (one index 38 m) and the feed amount is set to 4 frames in advance, it becomes easier for the user to determine the swipe operation amount.
The relationship between the swipe operation amount and the frame advance amount is an example and may be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be changed on the setting menu screen.

Further, the faster the swipe operation speed (the speed of a finger or the like moving the second operation area 206D), the faster the control unit 203 switches the display of the reproduced image 31 in the first operation area 206U (per frame). (The display time is shortened), and the slower the swipe operation speed, the slower the display switching speed of the reproduced image 31 in the first operation area 206U (the longer the display time per frame).
The control unit 203 displays the reproduced image 31 for all the frames to be fast-forwarded when the display switching speed of the reproduced image 31 in the first operation area 206U is increased (the display time per frame is shortened). .. By displaying all frames without thinning out the frames, it becomes easier for the user to confirm the change in the subject image between the frames.

Similarly, when the control unit 203 detects a swipe operation of shifting the finger or the like touching the second operation area 206D to the left by the first distance on the panel surface of the display unit 208, the control unit 203 performs a quick rewind. For example, when the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 of FIG. 4 is displayed before the swipe operation, the control unit 203 replaces the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 5 with the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 4. Display it. The control unit 203 further switches from the reproduced image 31 corresponding to the frame 4 to the reproduced image corresponding to the frame 3.
It should be noted that the point that the frame advance amount is determined according to the swipe operation amount and the point that the display switching speed of the reproduced image 31 is determined by the swipe operation speed are the same as in the case of the above-mentioned fast forward. Further, the direction of the swipe operation for quick rewind does not have to be strictly to the left, and may be a direction diagonally upward to the left or diagonally downward to the left on the panel surface of the display unit 208.

For example, in the above-mentioned one-frame advance / one-frame return, the control unit 203 sets the first operation area 2
After performing an operation of shifting the finger touching 06U by the first distance in a predetermined direction, move the finger to the first operation area 206.
Even when the operation was performed to move the finger away from the U, the finger touching the first operation area 206U was moved in a predetermined direction by a second distance longer than the first distance, and then the finger was separated from the first operation area 206U. It is also controlled to advance one frame or return one frame.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned fast-forward / fast-rewind, the control unit 203 performs an operation of shifting the finger touching the second operation area 206D by the first distance in a predetermined direction and then releasing the finger from the second operation area 206D. When the finger touching the second operation area 206D is moved in a predetermined direction by a second distance longer than the first distance, and then the finger is separated from the second operation area 206D, the frame is fast-forwarded less than when the finger is moved away from the second operation area 206D. Or control to fast rewind.

For example, an operation of moving a finger touching the second operation area 206D by a first distance in a predetermined direction while the frame 1 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 208, and then releasing the finger from the second operation area 206D. When this is done, the control unit 203 changes the frame to be displayed on the display unit 208 from frame 1 to frame 2, and then changes from frame 2 to frame 3. On the other hand, the frame 1 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 208.
Is displayed, the finger touching the second operation area 206D is moved in a predetermined direction by a second distance having a distance twice the first distance, and then the finger is released from the second operation area 206D. If so, the control unit 203 changes the number of frames displayed on the display unit 208 by a factor of two. That is, the control unit 203 changes the frame to be displayed on the display unit 208 from frame 1 to frame 2, and frame 2
To frame 3, change from frame 3 to frame 4, and then change from frame 4 to frame 5. Similarly, if the distance of moving the finger touching the second operation area 206D is tripled, the display unit 20
When the number of frames displayed on 8 is changed by 3 times and the distance of moving the finger touching the second operation area 206D is 4 times, the number of frames displayed on the display unit 208 is changed by 4 times.

(Finger position during swipe operation)
Even if the position of the finger during the swipe operation deviates from the second operation area 206D and enters the first operation amount area 206U, the control unit 203 fast forwards if the finger or the like continuously touches the panel surface of the display unit 208. The display of the / fast rewind bar 38 is maintained, and the fast forward / fast rewind mode is continued.

(Change in operation direction during swipe operation)
When the direction of the swipe operation (moving direction of the finger or the like) is changed during the swipe operation, the control unit 203 recognizes the changed position as a new reference position (start position of the contact operation by the finger or the like). Re-detect the swipe operation amount.

(When there is one image file)
When the control unit 203 has only one image file recorded on the recording medium 209, even if the second operation area 206D is touched, the fast forward / rewind bar 38 is moved to the second operation area 206D.
Does not display in, and does not switch to fast forward / rewind mode. This is because there is no merit of fast-forwarding / rewinding.

(When display is restricted)
In the present embodiment, the viewing restricted folder in the fast forward / fast rewind mode is handled as follows. That is, the control unit 203 fast-forwards the browseable folders in ascending order in the order of the folder names, and fast-forwards the browseable folders in the descending order in the order of the folder names. Then, when the control unit 203 displays the playback image based on the last frame or the first frame in the viewing restricted folder by fast forward or fast rewind, if the next folder is a viewing restricted folder, the control unit 203 straddles the viewing restricted folder. Pause fast forward / rewind without.

(Fast forward / fast rewind pause)
In the present embodiment, as described above, the feed amount (fast forward / fast forward /) corresponds to the swipe operation amount.
Determine the number of frames to rewind). Then, the control unit 203 sequentially switches the reproduced images and displays them on the display unit 208 until the number of frames corresponding to the determined feed amount is reached. However, if, for example, a protected image file or a rated image file exists in the middle of fast-forwarding / fast-rewinding, fast-forwarding / fast-rewinding is paused. Specifically, the control unit 203 temporarily stops the fast forward / rewind when the display unit 208 displays the reproduced image based on the protected image file or the rated image file.

The rating indicates the importance and favorite degree of the image. For example
The control unit 203 can give a rating to an image by recording the importance and the favorite degree input by the photographer in association with each image on the recording medium 209. The importance and favoriteness of an image can be indicated by, for example, the number of stars, numbers (1 to 5), and the number of stars and the number can be considered to be more important. Further, the control unit 203 can indicate the importance and the favorite degree of the image by attaching a predetermined tag, protection setting, and the like to the image having a high importance and the favorite degree.

When the fast forward / fast rewind is paused, the user stops the swipe operation and temporarily releases the finger or the like from the panel surface of the display unit 208.
