Abstract

An image capture apparatus having a customizing function of assigning a predetermined shooting function to a predetermined operation member, comprises a memory and at least one processor which function as an acquisition unit configured to acquire shot image information obtained by a shooting operation of a user, and an estimation unit configured to estimate an operation member suitable for a customizing function to be recommended to a user as a result of executing an estimation processing based on the shot image information.

Claims (21)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a memory and at least one processor which function as:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire shot image information from an image capture apparatus having a customizing function for assigning a predetermined shooting function to a predetermined operation member; and

an estimation unit configured to estimate the customizing function to be recommended to a user based on the shot image information acquired from the image capture apparatus,

wherein the shot image information includes operation history information of a shooting operation of a user, and

the estimation unit calculates a score based on a model obtained by learning using information in which a relationship between the shot image information, the operation history information, and the shooting function assigned to the operation member is associated with each other.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage unit configured to store the shot image information acquired from the image capture apparatus, and

a transmission unit configured to transmit an estimation result of the customizing function to be recommended to the user to the image capture apparatus.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the learning of the model is executed by reflecting or without reflecting the operation history information of the user.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the estimation result of the estimation unit includes a plurality of shooting functions that can be assigned to the operation member, and a reason for recommending the plurality of shooting functions.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the operation history information includes shooting setting information.

6. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring shot image information from an image capture apparatus having a customizing function for assigning a predetermined shooting function to a predetermined operation member; and

estimating a customizing function to be recommended to a user based on the shot image information acquired from the image capture apparatus,

wherein the shot image information includes operation history information of a shooting operation of a user, and

in the estimating, a score is calculated based on a model obtained by learning using information in which a relationship between the shot image information, the operation history information, and the shooting function assigned to the operation member is associated with each other.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring shot image information from an image capture apparatus having a customizing function for assigning a predetermined shooting function to a predetermined operation member; and

estimating a customizing function to be recommended to a user based on the shot image information acquired from the image capture apparatus,

wherein the shot image information includes operation history information of a shooting operation of a user, and

in the estimating, a score is calculated based on a model obtained by learning using information in which a relationship between the shot image information, the operation history information, and the shooting function assigned to the operation member is associated with each other.
