Recording apparatus, image capture apparatus, and recording method for recording position information in one time interval irrespective of position information in another time interval

摘要

A recording apparatus includes a connection unit to connect the recording apparatus to an image capture apparatus that performs an image capture operation to capture an image, based on a capture instruction. An acquisition unit acquires a plurality of pieces of position information, at a first time interval. A recording control unit records, in one file, a plurality of pieces of position information, each corresponding to a second time interval that is longer than the first time interval. When a capturing instruction to request the image capture apparatus to capture an image is generated, the recording control unit records, in the one file, position information that corresponds to a generation timing of the capturing instruction of the plurality of pieces of position information acquired at the first time interval, irrespective of whether the plurality of pieces of position information corresponds to the second time interval.

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a connection unit configured to connect the recording apparatus to an image capture apparatus, the image capture apparatus being configured to perform an image capture operation to capture an image, based on a capturing instruction generated at a generation timing; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of pieces of position information by repeating positioning processing by a first time interval periodically, wherein the plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the acquisition unit are stored in a temporary storage device, and the positioning processing is executed, irrespective of whether or not the image capture apparatus performs the image capture operation; and a recording control unit configured to record, in one log file of a permanent storage device, a plurality of pieces of position information, wherein the plurality of pieces of position information recorded in the one log file is a subset of the plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the acquisition unit and each piece of position information recorded in the one log file corresponds to position information acquired by a second time interval periodically, the second time interval being (i) a logging time interval and (ii) an interval that is longer than the first time interval, wherein, when a capturing instruction to request the image capture apparatus to capture an image is generated, the recording control unit records, in the one log file of the permanent storage device from the temporary storage device, position information that corresponds to the generation timing of the capturing instruction and that is a subset of the plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the acquisition unit by the first time interval, irrespective of whether or not the generation timing corresponds to the second time interval, and the one log file includes the position information acquired by the second time interval periodically and the position information that corresponds to the generation timing of the capturing instruction.
