Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recording apparatus such as a video camera for recording a moving image, and more particularly to a recording apparatus capable of storing a moving image having a high value when recording a sport.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various operation modes can be set in electronic devices such as cameras and VTRs when operating the electronic devices. For example, in a camera, there are various shooting modes such as an indoor mode, a backlight mode, and a sports mode. By selecting these shooting modes, for example, an electronic shutter speed, an iris,
The data is converted into control data of operation conditions such as interval time of interval recording, and the optimum operation control corresponding to the selected shooting mode is performed.

For example, a camera described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-1377000 has a function of storing a time difference between a plurality of continuous photographing operations in a photographing screen. The elapsed time data of the competition time can be easily copied in the photographed still image in association with the release signal. This eliminates the hassle of measuring a time interval with a stopwatch or a clock separately from taking a picture.

[0004] On the other hand, since the selection of such a photographing mode is generally troublesome, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-12204 is disclosed.
No. 66 discloses a means for reading two-dimensional information such as a CCD, a signal processing circuit for processing a read output signal,
A control circuit for setting and controlling the device to a desired operation mode based on the data obtained during the output from the signal processing circuit. And automatically controls the operation mode to an optimum operation mode based on the read data, thereby enabling the device main body to operate in a desired operation mode without providing a special reader such as a barcode reader. Describes a video camera device that can be automatically set.

[0005]

However, in the case of using a conventional video camera or other recording device for recording moving images and selecting a shooting mode such as a sports mode to play back and view the recorded sports, the scoring situation, etc. Since sports-specific information such as game progress and elapsed time has not been recorded,
As a result, there is a problem in that the video becomes a dull video that is prolonged, resulting in a moving image with low reproduction value.

[0006] In addition, generally known recording formats of information such as a score status and an elapsed time differ depending on a sport type. For example, in a baseball game, when the team A and the team B are playing a match and the scoring situation is 4 to 1 in three tables, "three-time table A4-1B" is displayed. If team B and the scoring situation are 1 to 0 in the first 15 minutes, "First half 15 minutes A1-0B" is displayed. In the case of baseball and soccer, the points are counted up by one point. In the case of basketball, there are two points and three points. In the case of tennis and rugby, the points are further increased. It becomes a complicated count-up. Also, it is necessary to set an upper limit of the count, such as counting up a volleyball. Therefore, the setting of recording input of information such as the score status and the elapsed time such as sports, or the operation of counting up during recording, must necessarily be complicated, and an easy operation cannot be performed.

[0007] In this case, there is a case where information can be input by handwriting at the time of photographing. However, since the operation of handwriting is cumbersome and is handwritten, it interferes with the recorded image itself, so that easy operation and visibility are easy. It will hurt.

It is determined whether the grade data is blinking or the grade is blinking according to the change data selection selected in step 104 (step S212). If the score is blinking, the score of the white team displayed on the right is incremented (step S).
213) Further, it is determined whether or not the incremented score is 99 (step S214). If the score is 99 (step S214, YES), the score is set to 0.
(Step S215), and reset to Step S22.
1 and the score is not 99 (step S21).
(4, NO), the process directly proceeds to step S221.
On the other hand, if the school year is blinking in step S212, the school year display is changed every time the switch SW2 is pressed in the order of first grade → second grade → ... → sixth grade → first grade → ... (step S216). The process moves to S221.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the switch SW2 is further pressed (step S221).
If 2 has been pressed (step S221, YES), the process returns to step S191, and the above processing is repeated. If the switch SW2 has not been further pressed (step S221, NO), the process returns to step S108.

As described above, in the second data change processing, desired data can be changed by pressing the switch SW2 from the data to be changed which is blinking and displayed by the change data selection processing. In particular, since the switches SW1 and SW2 are seesaw-type switches, it is easy to select data to be changed.

By the way, in the change data selection processing in step S104 described above, for example, in the baseball mode, only the number blinking and the point blinking are selected.
In the first and second data change processes in steps S07 and S108, the data selected by the change data selection process is changed by selecting the data to be changed by the switches SW1 and SW2.
The point change by 2 is only increment, and if you try to decrease 1 point if you increment by mistake,
The switches SW1 and SW2 must be pressed many times.
Of course, in this case, the continuous increment can be performed by keeping the button pressed, but the change by the continuous increment must be complicated.

Therefore, the change data selection processing and the first and second
Another embodiment of the second data change process will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing another processing procedure of the change data selection processing in step S104. In this change data selection processing, it is first determined whether or not the selected shooting mode is the baseball mode (step S104). S23

If the change data selection switch SW4 is further pressed and turned on (step S233, YES), the process returns to step S232 to change to the next blinking display, and if the change data selection switch SW4 is not further pressed (step S233). (S233, NO) is the same as step S10.
Return to 4.

If not in baseball mode (step S23)
(1, NO), it is determined whether or not the selected shooting mode is the soccer mode (step S24).
1). In the case of the soccer mode (step S241,
In the case of YES), the display is changed to a blinking display corresponding to each press of the change data selection switch SW4 in the order of first half blink → A team score blink → B team score blink → first half blink → ... (step S242). Then, the change data selection switch S
It is determined whether W4 has been further pressed (step S2).
43) If the change data selection switch SW4 is further pressed down and turned on (step S243, YES),
Returning to step S242, the display is changed to the next blinking display. If the changed data selection switch SW4 is not further pressed (step S243, NO), the process returns to step S104.

If the mode is not the soccer mode (step S2)
(41, NO), it is determined whether or not the selected shooting mode is the athletic meet mode (step S25).
1). In the case of the athletic meet mode (step S251, Y
ES), the grade data blinking → red team score blinking → white team score blinking → grade grade blinking ... change data selection switch S
The display is changed to a blinking display corresponding to each press of W4 (step S252). Thereafter, it is determined whether the change data selection switch SW4 is further pressed (step S25).
3) When the change data selection switch SW4 is further pressed down and turned on (step S253, YES), the process returns to step S252 to change to the next blinking display, and the change data selection switch SW4 is not further pressed down. In this case (step S253, NO), the process returns to step S104.

As described above, in the other change data selection processing, the selectable progress information can be selected more finely.

Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the procedure of another first data change process in step S107. In FIG. 10, in the other first data change processing, first, it is determined whether or not the currently selected shooting mode is the baseball mode (step S261).

In the case of the baseball mode (step S26)
In (1, YES), it is further determined whether the change data selection selected in step S104 is the blinking number of times, the team A point blinking state, or the team B point blinking state (step S262). When the team A score is blinking (step S
In step 262, the score of team A blinks), the score of team A is incremented (step S263), and when the score is blinking of team B (step S262, blinking of point B team).
, The score of team B is incremented (step S
264), if the number of times is blinking, the number of times is displayed as 1st front → 1st back → 2nd front → 2nd back → ... → 18th back → 1st front →
The display is changed each time the switch SW1 is pressed in the order of... (Step S265), and the process proceeds to step S291.

If not in baseball mode (step S26)
In (1, NO), it is determined whether or not the shooting mode is the soccer mode (step S271). If the shooting mode is the soccer mode (step S271, YES), the change data selection selected in step S104 is further performed. It is determined whether the first half and second half are blinking, the team A is blinking, or the team B is blinking (step S272). If the A team score is blinking (step S272, A team score blinking), the score of team A is incremented (step S273). If the B team score is blinking (step S272, B team score blinking), The score of team B is incremented (step S274). If the first half is blinking, the first half is changed every time the switch SW1 is pressed in the order of first half → second half → first half → ... (step S275). It moves to step S291.

If the mode is not the soccer mode (step S2)
(71, NO), it is determined whether or not the photographing mode is the athletic meet mode (step S281), and if it is the athletic meet mode (step S281, YES), the change data selection selected at step S104 is further performed. It is determined whether the grade is blinking, the red team score is blinking, or the white team score is blinking (step S282). If the red team score is blinking (step S282, red team score blinking), the red team score is incremented (step S2).
83) If the white team score is blinking (step S28)
2, the white team score blinks), the score of the white team is incremented (step S284), and if the grade is blinking, the grade is displayed as first grade → second grade → ... → sixth grade → first grade → ... The display is changed every time the switch SW1 is pressed in the order (step S285), and the process proceeds to step S291.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the switch SW1 is further pressed (step S291).
If No. 1 has been pressed (step S291, YES), the flow returns to step S261 to repeat the above-described data change processing, and if the switch SW1 has not been pressed (step S291, NO), the flow returns to step S107.

As described above, in the other first data changing process, the process of incrementing the point display by pressing the switch SW1 is performed. Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of another second data change processing in step S108. FIG.
In the first second data change process, it is first determined whether or not the currently selected shooting mode is the baseball mode (step S301).

If the mode is the baseball mode (step S30)
(1, YES), it is further determined whether the change data selection selected in step S104 is a blinking number of times, a team A point blinking state, or a team B point blinking state (step S302). When the team A score is blinking (step S
At 302, the score of team A flashes), the score of team A is decremented (step S303), and when the score of team B flashes (step S302, flash of score of team B), the score of team B is decremented (step S303). S30
4) If the number of times is blinking, the number of times is displayed once.
The display is changed every time the switch SW2 is pressed in the order of backside once → front twice → backside twice →... Backside 18 times → front side → (step S305), and proceeds to step S331.

If not in baseball mode (step S30)
(1, NO), it is determined whether or not the shooting mode is the soccer mode (step S311). If the shooting mode is the soccer mode (step S311, YES), the change data selection selected in step S104 is further performed. It is determined whether the first half and the second half are blinking, the team A is blinking, or the team B is blinking (step S312). If the A team score is blinking (step S312, A team score blink), the score of team A is decremented (step S313), and if the B team score is blinking (step S313).
In step 3314, the score of team B is decremented (step S314). If the first half is blinking, the first half is displayed and the switch SW2 is pressed in the order of first half → second half → first half →. The display is changed every time (step S3
15), proceed to step S331.

If the mode is not the soccer mode (step S3
(11, NO), it is determined whether or not the shooting mode is the athletic meet mode (step S321). If the athletic meet mode is present (step S321, YES), the change data selection selected at step S104 is further performed. It is determined whether the grade is blinking, the red team is blinking, or the white team is blinking (step S322). If the red team score is blinking (step S322, red team score blinking), the score of the red team is decremented (step S32).
3) If the white team score is blinking (step S32)
In (2, blinking of white team score), the score of the white team is decremented (step S324). If the grade is blinking, the grade is displayed in the order of first grade → second grade → ... → sixth grade → first grade →. The display is changed every time the switch SW2 is pressed in the order (step S325), and the process proceeds to step S331.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the switch SW2 is further pressed (step S331).
If No. 2 has been pressed (step S331, YES), the flow returns to step S301 to repeat the above-described data change processing, and if the switch SW2 has not been pressed (step S331, NO), the flow returns to step S108.

As described above, in the other second data change processing, the point display is decremented by pressing the switch SW2, so that the change in the point can be easily corrected.

The data change of the number of blinks in the first and second data change processing and the other first and second data change processing is the same as the operation processing of the switches SW1 and SW2. In the baseball mode, as in the case of the score change, the subdivision may be performed such that only the number of times is changed, such as once → two times →, and only the front → back → front →. Further, in the soccer mode, the second half may be added to the first half display and changed and displayed.

In the canceling process in step S109, for example, when the currently selected blinking state is the point display in the baseball mode, the display is reset to "A0-0B", and the display is the first and second half of the soccer mode. In this case, it is reset to “0 minute in the first half”. Of course, the reset of the elapsed time may be performed, or another switch may be provided, or change data selection of the elapsed time may be provided, and only the elapsed time may be reset.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the cancel switch SW5 in the first embodiment is used as a setting switch for the calibration mode process.

The calibration mode refers to the operation unit 8
Is a mode in which each switch is customized, and each switch operates with this customized function. This customization is set in advance.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the progress information adding process in the second embodiment. The switch SW5 functions as a setting switch for the calibration mode processing. By repeatedly pressing the switch SW5, the setting of the calibration mode process /
Release is repeated. Steps S101 to S1 in FIG.
The process of 08 is the same as the standard process shown in FIG. 2, and the calibration mode process of step S341 is performed instead of the process of step S109.

That is, when it is determined in step S105 of FIG. 12 that the switch SW5 is ON (step S105, YES), a calibration mode process is executed (step S341), and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S103.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the calibration mode processing in step S341. In FIG. 13, when the calibration mode processing is set, first, it is determined whether or not the change data selection switch SW4 is on. (Step S361). When the change data selection switch SW4 is ON (step S3
61, YES), after executing the change data selection processing as shown in FIG. 9 (step S362), step S3
The flow shifts to 63, and if the change data selection switch SW4 is not on (step S361, NO), the flow directly shifts to step S363. However, in the change data selection processing in step S362, selection such as the number of blinks and the first and second half blinks is ignored, and the operation is performed so as not to be performed, and only the blink related to the point blink is performed. This is because, in this calibration mode, the function of the switch customized for the point input is operated.

In step S363, it is determined which of the switches SW1 to SW3 is pressed. If the pressed switch is the switch SW1 (step S363, SW1), a process of adding 5 points to the blinking score is performed (step S364), and if the pressed switch is the switch SW2 (step S364). In S363, SW2), a process of adding two points to the blinking score is performed (step S365), and when the pressed switch is the switch SW3 (step S36).
3, SW3), a process of adding 3 points to the blinking score is performed (step S366).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the switch SW5 has been pressed again (step S367). If it has been pressed (step S367, YES), the process returns to step S341, and if it has not been pressed (step 367, N).
In O), the process shifts to step S361 to repeat the above-described calibration mode processing.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the switch SW5 for operating the customized switch function
Therefore, various types of progress information adding processing can be performed by a simple operation with a small number of switches.

The switch customized in the second embodiment corresponds to the change in the score of rugby. Normally, the calibration mode processing is executed after the soccer mode is selected by the mode selection switch SW3, so that the point score is changed. Changes can be made easily.
This means that if the rugby score is 5 points,
2 points for the kick after the try, 3 points for the kick alone
This is because this is a special mode in which points are added. In this case, for example, if points are added one by one, it is necessary to confirm how many points have been added each time. Further, there are cases where an incorrect point is added. Accordingly, it is possible to easily and surely perform the point addition processing of the points.

In such a calibration mode process, not only one mode but also a plurality of calibration modes may be set. In this case, similarly to the mode selection switch SW3, a plurality of calibration modes having switch operations customized in advance may be selected by repeatedly pressing the switch SW5.

For example, in the case of a basketball, there are a case where the score is 2 points and a case where the score is 3 points. Therefore, a calibration mode in which switches corresponding to the points are customized may be provided. Further, in the case of tennis, since the score changes like 15 → 30 → 40 →..., The calibration mode is also effective in this case.

Needless to say, a switch dedicated to setting the calibration mode processing may be newly provided. in this case,
The function of the cancel switch SW5 can be used as it is. It goes without saying that a switch used in the calibration mode may be newly provided.
