Information recording apparatus, imaging apparatus, information recording method, and program
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a captured image data generation unit that generates captured image data by capturing a subject;
a positional information acquisition unit that acquires positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated;
an area determination unit that determines whether the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the acquired positional information;
a positional information conversion unit that, when the area determination unit determines that the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converts the acquired positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the acquired positional information; and
a record control unit that, when recording the generated captured image data, carries out control so as to record the generated captured image data in association with the positional information converted by the positional information conversion unit.

Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: a captured image data generation unit generating captured image data by capturing a subject; a positional information acquisition unit acquiring positional information indicating a position at which the captured image data are generated; an area determination unit determining whether the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the acquired positional information; a positional information conversion unit, when the area determination unit determines that the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converting the acquired positional information into positional information indicating a position different from the position indicated by the acquired positional information; and a record control unit, when recording the generated captured image data, carrying out control to record the generated captured image data in association with the positional information converted by the positional information conversion unit.

9. An information recording apparatus comprising:
-
a file read control unit that carries out control so as to read out a captured image file, which associates captured image data generated by capturing a subject with positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated, from a recording medium; a positional information extracting unit that extracts positional information in the captured image file read by the file read control unit; an area determination unit that determines whether a position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the extracted positional information; a positional information conversion unit that, when the area determination unit determines that the position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converts the extracted positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the extracted positional information; and a record control unit that carries out control so as to record the read captured image file so that the captured image data in the read captured image file are associated with the positional information converted by the positional information conversion unit. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A positional information conversion method comprising the steps of:
-
generating captured image data by capturing a subject; acquiring positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated; determining whether the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the acquired positional information; when it is determined that the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converting the acquired positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the acquired positional information; and when recording the generated captured image data, carrying out control so as to record the generated captured image data in association with the converted positional information.

12. A position information conversion method comprising the steps of:
-
carrying out control so as to read out a captured image file, which associates captured image data generated by capturing a subject with positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated, from a recording medium; extracting positional information in the read captured image file; determining whether a position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the extracted positional information; when it is determined that the position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converting the extracted positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the extracted positional information; and carrying out control so as to record the read captured image file so that the captured image data in the read captured image file are associated with the converted positional information.

13. A program for causing a computer to execute the steps of:
-
generating captured image data by capturing a subject; acquiring positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated; determining whether the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the acquired positional information; when it is determined that the position indicated by the acquired positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converting the acquired positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the acquired positional information; and when recording the generated captured image data, carrying out control so as to record the generated captured image data in association with the converted positional information.

14. A program for causing a computer to execute the steps of:
-
carrying out control so as to read out a captured image file, which associates captured image data generated by capturing a subject with positional information that indicates a position at which the captured image data are generated, from a recording medium; extracting positional information in the read captured image file; determining whether a position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in a positional information conversion area for converting the extracted positional information; when it is determined that the position indicated by the extracted positional information is included in the positional information conversion area, converting the extracted positional information into positional information that indicates a position different from the position indicated by the extracted positional information; and carrying out control so as to record the read captured image file so that the captured image data in the read captured image file are associated with the converted positional information.
