Imaging apparatus and imaging system
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject;
a storage unit configured to store one or multiple particular subjects, and one or multiple terminal devices corresponding to the one or multiple particular subjects;
a detection unit configured to detect the particular subject stored in the storage unit in the image captured by the imaging unit; and
a control unit configured to, when the detection unit detects the particular subject in the image captured by the imaging unit,notify a corresponding one of the terminal devices which is stored in the storage unit and corresponds to the detected particular subject that the particular subject is detected, andsend a real time image captured by the imaging unit to the corresponding one of the terminal devices,wherein the imaging apparatus is configured to be remote-controlled by the one or multiple terminal devices receiving the real time image from the imaging apparatus,wherein when the detection unit detects the multiple particular subjects, including a first particular subject and a second particular subject having a higher priority than the first particular subject, in the image captured by the imaging unit, the control unit is configured to accept remote control only by the terminal device which is stored in the storage unit and corresponds to at least the second particular subject.

Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor configured to capture an image of a subject; an identification information storage unit configured to store a particular subject and a terminal device corresponding to the particular subject; a face detection unit and a face recognition unit configured to detect the particular subject stored in the identification information storage unit in the image captured by the image sensor; and a microcomputer configured to notify, when the face detection unit and the face recognition unit detect the particular subject, the terminal device which is stored in the identification information storage unit and corresponds to the detected particular subject that the particular subject is detected.

18. An imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising:
-
an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject; a storage unit configured to store one or multiple particular subjects, and one or multiple terminal devices corresponding to the one or multiple particular subjects; a detection unit configured to detect the particular subject stored in the storage unit in the image captured by the imaging unit; and a control unit configured to, when the detection unit detects the particular subject in the image captured by the imaging unit, notify a corresponding one of the terminal devices which is stored in the storage unit and corresponds to the detected particular subject that the particular subject is detected, and send a real time image captured by the imaging unit to the corresponding one of the terminal devices, wherein the imaging apparatus is configured to be remote-controlled by the one or multiple terminal devices receiving the real time image from the imaging apparatus, wherein when the detection unit detects the multiple particular subjects, including a first particular subject and a second particular subject having an higher priority than the first particular subject, in the image captured by the imaging unit, the control unit is configured to prohibit remote control by the terminal device which is stored in the storage unit and corresponds to at least the first particular subject.
