Abstract
An image sensing device is provided that collects the speech and image of a person to be sensed and carries out recognition of collected speech. When the image sensing device determines as the recognition result that the speech represents a predetermined sentence, the image sensing device performs recognition on an acquired image. When the image sensing device determines as a recognition result that the image is a human face showing a predetermined facial expression, the image sensing device records the image and audio information.
Claims9
An image sensing device comprising:
- first acquisition means for acquiring first imaging environment information from an imaging environment of the image sensing device;
- second acquisition means for acquiring second imaging environment information from an imaging environment of the image sensing device;
- and
- imaging means for sensing an object when both the first imaging environment information and the second imaging environment information fulfill respective imaging conditions.
An image sensing device comprising:
- sound collection means for collecting sounds in an imaging environment;
- sound recognition means for recognizing a sound collected by said sound collection means;
- movie acquisition means for acquires a movie of an object to be sensed;
- determination means for determining whether or not the object fulfills an imaging condition based on an image of each frame of the movie acquired by said movie acquisition means;
- and
- imaging means for sensing the object when a sound collected by said sound collection means is a predetermined sound and the object fulfills an imaging condition.
A control method for an image sensing device comprising:
- a first acquisition step of acquiring a first imaging environment information from an imaging environment of the image sensing device;
- a second acquisition step of acquiring a second imaging environment information from an imaging environment of the image sensing device;
- and
- an imaging step of sensing an object when both the first imaging environment information and the second imaging environment information fulfill respective imaging conditions.
A control method for an image sensing device comprising:
- a sound collection step of collecting sounds in an imaging environment;
- a sound recognition step of recognizing a sound collected in the sound collection step;
- a movie acquisition step of acquiring a movie of an object to be sensed;
- a determination step for determining whether or not the object fulfills an imaging condition based on an image of each frame of a movie acquired in the movie acquisition step;
- and
- an imaging step of sensing the object when a sound collected in the sound collection step is a predetermined sound and the object fulfills an imaging condition.
