Abstract
A mobile terminal 5 includes: a position obtainer 231 configured to obtain a relative position information for identifying a relative position of the mobile terminal 5 in an indoor environment; an image capturer 232 configured to capture a video; a generator 234 configured to obtain an additional video by associating the relative position information or an absolute position information obtained by using the relative position information with the video; and a video output unit 251 configured to output the additional video. Thus, the video captured by the mobile terminal moving in the indoor environment can be appropriately utilized.
Claims3
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a position obtainer including an absolute position obtainer and an indoor position obtainer, the absolute position obtainer being configured to obtain an absolute position information indicating a current position in an outdoor environment using a GPS receiver, the indoor position obtainer being configured to obtain a relative position information for specifying a relative position indicating the current position in an indoor environment by receiving a signal including an area identifier for identifying a predetermined area in the indoor environment from a signal transmitter installed in the indoor environment when the mobile terminal moves from the outdoor environment to the indoor environment and the absolute position obtainer is unable to obtain the absolute position information;
- a mobile inquiry receiver configured to receive an inquiry including a location identification information for specifying a location in the indoor environment from the information processing device, the location identification information including the area identifier and the relative position information;
- a mobile determination unit configured to determine whether or not the area identifier and the relative position information obtained by the position obtainer satisfy an approximate condition with respect to the location identification information;
- an image capturer configured to capture an image;
- an additional image generator configured to obtain an additional image in which the area identifier, the relative position information and one or more camera attribute values including a direction information indicating a direction of capturing the image captured by the image capturer are associated with the image;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the additional image satisfying the approximate condition to the information processing device when the mobile determination unit determines that the approximate condition is satisfied.
4 more elements
An information processing method used for a mobile terminal, comprising:
- a step of obtaining an absolute position information indicating a current position in an outdoor environment using a GPS receiver,
- a step of obtaining a relative position information for specifying a relative position indicating the current position in an indoor environment by receiving a signal including an area identifier for identifying a predetermined area in the indoor environment from a signal transmitter installed in the indoor environment when the mobile terminal moves from the outdoor environment to the indoor environment and the absolute position information cannot be obtained in the step of obtaining the absolute position information;
- a step of receiving an inquiry including a location identification information for specifying a location in the indoor environment from the information processing device, the location identification information including the area identifier and the relative position information;
- a determination step of determining whether or not the obtained area identifier and the obtained relative position information satisfy an approximate condition with respect to the location identification information;
- a step of capturing an image;
- a step of obtaining an additional image in which the area identifier, the relative position information and one or more camera attribute values including a direction information indicating a direction of capturing the image are associated with the image;
- and
- a step of transmitting the additional image satisfying the approximate condition to the information processing device when the mobile determination unit determines that the approximate condition is satisfied in the determination step.
