Abstract
An imaging device includes an imaging portion that images a subject; a positional information acquisition portion that acquires positional information of an imaging position; a control portion which acquires information on the subject based on the positional information, and displays image data of the subject and the information on the subject on a display portion; and a hold control portion that outputs a hold control signal, which holds the image data of the subject and the information on the subject, to the control portion.
Claims32
An imaging device comprising:
- a body;
- an imager;
- a positional information acquirer configured to acquire positional information;
- a computer configured to:
- display, on a display of the imaging device, (i) a subject image acquired via the imager and (ii) subject information acquired based (a) on the positional information or (b) on a result of an image recognition for the subject image, and
- output a hold control signal based on a user action, the hold control signal causing the computer to hold, on the display, the subject image and the subject information displayed on the display and to continue displaying the held subject image and the held subject information on the display after completion of the user action;
- and
- operation equipment with which post information is posted while the held subject image and the held subject information are displayed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program that allows a computer to execute functions of an imaging device so that the computer executes the steps comprising:
- acquiring positional information;
- acquiring subject information based on the positional information or on a result of an image recognition for a subject image, which is imaged via an imager of the imaging device;
- AR-displaying the subject image and the subject information on the display;
- outputting a hold control signal based on a user action during the AR-displaying, the hold control signal causing holding, on the display, of the subject image and the subject information and continued displaying of the held subject image and the held subject information on the display after completion of the user action;
- and
- posting post information while the held subject image and the held subject information are displayed.
An imaging device comprising:
- a body;
- an imager;
- a positional information acquirer configured to acquire positional information;
- and
- a computer configured to:
- display, on a display of the imaging device, (i) a subject image acquired via the imager and (ii) subject information acquired based (a) on the positional information or (b) on a result of an image recognition for the subject image, and
- output a hold control signal based on a motion of the body according to a user action, the hold control signal causing the computer to hold, on the display, the subject image and the subject information displayed on the display and to continue displaying the held subject image and the held subject information on the display after completion of the user action.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program that allows a computer to execute functions of an imaging device so that the computer executes the steps comprising:
- acquiring positional information;
- acquiring subject information based (a) on the positional information or (b) on a result of an image recognition for a subject image, which is imaged via an imager of the imaging device;
- AR-displaying the subject image and the subject information on the display;
- outputting a hold control signal based on a motion of the imaging device according to a user action during the AR-displaying, the hold control signal causing holding, on the display, of the subject image and the subject information and continued displaying of the held subject image and the held subject information on the display after completion of the user action;
- and
- posting post information while the held subject image and the held subject information are displayed.
