Method and device for controlling remote capturing of an image based on detection of a predetermined change in the image

摘要

A portable telephone is provided with a camera module (13) for outputting a captured image as image information, a memory (105) for storing the image information, a face registration unit (504) for holding information relating to a face image, a face extraction unit (501), a face parameter extraction unit (502), and a matching determination unit (505) which serve as the configuration for detecting the face image held in the face registration unit (504) from the captured image, and an image-capturing control unit (506) for executing control processing for image capturing. The image-capturing control unit (506) stores the image information in the memory (105) on the basis of the fact that after the face image held in the face registration unit (504) is detected, the face image becomes undetected, and the face image is then detected again.

主权项

1. A device with camera, comprising:
a camera part configured to output a captured image as image information; a memory part configured to store the image information and previously registered face information corresponding to a registrant's face; a face detection part configured to detect information regarding a face image from the captured image; and an image-capture control part configured to execute a control process to cause the memory part to store the image information based on the detection of the face image, wherein the control process comprises a remote image capture mode in which the captured face image is compared to the previously registered face information to detect whether the captured face image matches the registrant's face, and a camera shutter operation is performed in response to detecting that the face image matches the registrant's face, and a predetermined change in the captured image has occurred, the control process further comprising, when the face image matches the registrant's face and a size of the face image detected by the face detection part becomes greater than a predetermined threshold after the remote image capture mode is started, ending the remote image capture mode.
