Abstract

Convenience of a digital camera is improved and the performance specialized for each function is also improved. A photography system 1 includes a photography device 10 by which the photographic objects are photographed to acquire the image information, and a portable data processing device 20 which is formed separately from the photography device 10 and stores the image information. The photography device 10 has an image information transmission means 12 that transmits the image information acquired to the data processing device 20 directly.

Claims

1. A photography system comprising:

a photography device for taking photographs of photographic objects and acquiring image information; and

a portable data processing device formed separately from the photography device for encoding and storing the image information acquired by the photography device, wherein the photography device includes image information transmission means that directly transmits the acquired image information to the data processing device directly.

2. The photography system according to claim 1,

wherein the photography device has identification information unique to the photography device and the image information transmission means has a function to transmit the identification information to a plurality of data processing devices.

3. The photography system according to claim 2,

wherein the data processing device receives the image information from a plurality of photography devices and received image selection means selects the image information to be received according to unique identification information allocated to said each photography device, transmitted from the image information transmission means.

4. The photography system according to claim 1,

wherein the photography device has identification information unique to the photography device and the image information transmission means has a function to transmit the identification information to a plurality of data processing devices,

the data processing device receives the image information from the plurality of photography devices and further comprises received image selection means that selects the image information according to the unique identification information allocated to said each photography device, transmitted from the image information transmission means.

5. The photography system according to claim 2,

wherein the data processing device classifies the encoded image information for each piece of the identification information, and stores the classified encoded image information in the storage means.

6. The photography system according to claim 3,

wherein the data processing device classifies the encoded image information for each piece of the identification information, and stores the classified encoded image information in the storage means.

7. The photography system according to claim 4,

wherein the data processing device classifies the encoded image information for each piece of the identification information, and stores the classified encoded image information in the storage means.

8. The photography system according to claim 5,

wherein the image processing means has correction conditions for correcting the image information for each of a plurality of sets of photography devices.

9. The photography system according to claim 5,

wherein the image processing means has a function to encrypt the image information and store the encrypted image information in the storage means.

10. The photography system according to claim 1,

wherein the data processing device has a data transmission means for transmitting data to an external device.

11. The photography system according to claim 1,

wherein the photography device is fixed to a specific location to be photographed.
