Mobile terminal device that generates picture where person's eye direction in shot image has been modified

A mobile terminal device comprising:

• a housing;
• a display device disposed on a particular one of a plurality of outside surfaces of the housing;
• a camera disposed at a site of the particular surface of the housing other than the display device:
• an image storage device that stores shot images taken by the camera;
• a control device that includes a processor and functions, through the processor executing a control program, as:
• a face recognizer that recognizes a person's face image contained in a shot image selected from among the shot images stored in the image storage device;
• a determiner that determines whether or not the person's face image recognized by the face recognizer is a camera-eye-aligned image where an eye direction of the person is aligned with the camera;
• an image modifier that modifies an image of an eye portion in the face image determined not to be a camera-eye-aligned image by the determiner to an image where the eye direction is aligned with the camera;
• a controller that allows the image storage device to store the shot image modified by the image modifier;
• and
• an operation device capable of being operated by a user,
• wherein the control device further functions, through the processor executing the control program, as a display controller that allows the display device to display the shot image selected according to a selecting operation made on the operation device by the user,
• the display controller allows, in the shot image displayed on the display device, an eye portion in the face image determined not to be a camera-eye-aligned image by the determiner to be displayed in a representation indicating that the eye portion is a modification target region,
• in presence of an instruction to modify the modification target region in the shot image displayed on the display device, the image modifier modifies an image of the eye portion which is the modification target region to an image where the eye direction is aligned with the camera, and
• in absence of the instruction to modify the modification target region in the shot image displayed on the display device, the image modifier avoids modification of the image of the eye portion which is the modification target region,
• wherein when all of a plurality of face images in the shot image displayed on the display device are each displayed in a representation indicating presence of the modification target region or when, of the plurality of face images in the shot image, a number of face images equal to or more than a predetermined ratio are each displayed in the representation indicating presence of the modification target region, the display controller allows the display device to display a notification indicating that a number of the representations is equal to or more than the predetermined ratio.

• and
• a controller that allows the image storage device to store the shot image modified by the image modifier,
• wherein when the shot image contains a plurality of persons' face images recognized by the face recognizer, the determiner defines a descending order of facial regions recognized by the face recognizer as a predetermined order, determines, only as for a predetermined number of face images in the predetermined order, whether or not the individual face image is a camera-eye-aligned image, and avoids determining, as for the remaining face images other than the predetermined number, whether or not the individual face image is a camera-eye-aligned image.
