Image capturing system
First Claim
1. An image capturing system comprising:
- an image capturing apparatus; and
a communication terminal which communicates with said image capturing apparatus, wherein said image capturing apparatus includes;
an image capturing notification signal generation unit operable to transmit an image capturing notification signal for notifying said communication terminal that an image capturing is to be performed;
an image capturing restriction signal receiving unit operable to receive an image capturing restriction signal transmitted by said communication terminal; and
an image capturing restriction unit operable to restrict the image capturing based on the image capturing restriction signal received by said image capturing restriction signal receiving unit, and said communication terminal includes;
an image capturing notification signal receiving unit operable to receive the image capturing notification signal transmitted by said image capturing notification signal receiving unit; and
an image capturing restriction signal generation unit operable to transmit the image capturing restriction signal for restricting the image capturing performed by said image capturing apparatus, based on the image capturing notification signal received by said image capturing notification signal receiving unit.

Abstract
An image capturing apparatus (100) of an image taker side has an image capturing unit (101) which captures an image using a CCD sensor, a CMOS sensor and the like, an image capturing restriction signal receiving unit (102) which receives an image capturing restriction signal transmitted by a communication terminal (200), and an image capturing restriction unit (103) which restricts the image capturing performed by the image capturing unit (101) according to a request of the image capturing restriction signal. Further, the communication terminal (200) of a subject side has an image capturing restriction signal generation unit (201) which transmits the image capturing restriction signal for requesting to restrict the image capturing.
