Information processing device and method for controlling image data thereof
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an information processing device that realizes more suitable ease of use. To accomplish the purpose, there is provided an information processing device provided with a video input unit for acquiring image data from an optical image, a signal receiver unit for acquiring a position computation signal, a communication unit for transmitting the image data, a first memory unit for storing position information pertaining to a place to which the image data is not transmitted, and a control unit for controlling the execution of image data transmission on the basis of the position information acquired from the position calculation signal and the position information stored in the first storage unit.
1. An information processing device comprising:
a device configured to obtain a current position information of the information processing device;
a transceiver configured to transmit the current position information;
a memory configured to store information regarding a predetermined area which is newly registerable by adjusting a position of an icon for registering an area where no position information is transmitted on a displayed map; and
a controller,
wherein, if the controller recognizes, based on the current position information, that the information processing device is in the predetermined area, the controller is configured to control the transceiver not to transmit the current position information.
2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the memory is configured to store information regarding a place where no position information is transmitted as the information regarding the predetermined area.
3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the memory is configured to store information regarding routes between two points for each travel means and sections of the routes of each travel means where no position information is transmitted as the information regarding the predetermined area.
4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an imager configured to acquire image data to which the current position information is added;
wherein, if the controller recognizes, based on the current position information, that the information processing device is in the predetermined area, the controller is configured to control the transceiver not to transmit the current position information which is added to the image data.
5. The information processing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the transceiver is configured to further transmit the image data,
wherein, if the controller recognizes, based on the current position information, that the information processing device is outside the predetermined area, the controller is configured to control the transceiver to transmit the image data with the current position information.
6. The information processing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the transceiver is configured to further transmit the image data,
wherein, if the controller recognizes, based on the current position information, that the information processing device is in the predetermined area, the controller is configured to control the transceiver not to transmit the image data with the current position information.
7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the displayed map displays both another icon indicating another registered area where no position information is transmitted and the icon on one screen.
8. A method comprising the steps of:
obtaining a current position information of an information processing device;
storing information regarding a predetermined area which is newly registerable by adjusting a position of an icon for registering an area where no position information is transmitted on a displayed map;
controlling to transmit the current position information if, based on the current position information, it is determined that the information processing device is not in the predetermined area, and
controlling to not transmit the current position information if, based on the current position information, it is determined that the information processing device is in the predetermined area.
9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising the step of:
storing information regarding a place where no position information is transmitted as the information regarding the predetermined area.
10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising the step of:
storing information regarding routes between two points for each travel means and sections of the routes of each travel means where no position information is transmitted as the information regarding the predetermined area.
11. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising the steps of:
acquiring image data to which the current position information is added; and
controlling to not transmit the current position information which is added to the image data if, based on the current position information, it is determined that the information processing device is in the predetermined area.
12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising the step of:
controlling to transmit the current position information with the image data if, based on the current position information, it is determined that the information processing device is not in the predetermined area.
13. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising the step of:
controlling to not transmit the image data with the current position information if, based on the current position information, it is determined that the information processing device is in the predetermined area.
14. The method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the displayed map displays both another icon indicating another registered area where no position information is transmitted and the icon on one screen.
