Imaging control system, imaging control method, program, and recording medium

An imaging control method for controlling image capturing in an imaging control system that includes a plurality of digital imaging devices respectively used for capturing images by a plurality of users and one or more evaluation collection devices that receive evaluation information of the plurality of users from the plurality of digital imaging devices, the method comprising:

• registering information on the plurality of users, through a user information registration section;
• setting the plurality of users who respectively use the plurality of digital imaging devices using the information on the plurality of users registered in the user information registration section, through a user setting section;
• storing evaluation information on the plurality of users, through an evaluation information storage section;
• acquiring the evaluation information on each of the plurality of users from the evaluation information storage section to the digital imaging device of each user, on the basis of settings of the digital imaging devices respectively used by the plurality of users, through an evaluation information acquisition section;
• controlling a function of the digital imaging device of each user, on the basis of the acquired evaluation information on each user through an imaging function controller;
• analyzing images captured by the plurality of digital imaging devices, through an image analysis section;
• storing each user and an analysis result of an image captured by the digital imaging device of each user in association with each other, through an analysis result storage section;
• and
• performing evaluation of the image captured by the digital imaging device of each user on the basis of the analysis result stored in the analysis result storage section, and updates the evaluation information on each user stored in the evaluation information storage section on the basis of the evaluation of the image captured by the digital imaging device of each user, through an evaluation information updating section.
