Abstract

Provided is an imaging system including an imager configured to image a ridable moving object positioned at a registered photo spot, and a processor configured to execute a program to cause a guide to guide the ridable moving object on which a user gets and which is positioned near the photo spot to a recommended position in the photo spot.

Claims (22)

1. An imaging system comprising:

an imager configured to image a ridable moving object positioned at a registered photo spot; and

a processor configured to execute a program to cause a guide to guide the ridable moving object on which a user gets and which is positioned adjacent the photo spot to a recommended position in the photo spot,

wherein the imager is configured to perform imaging based on a first imaging mode in which the imaging is performed when a prescribed period of time has elapsed after an execution operation of an instructor was performed and a second imaging mode in which the imaging is performed in accordance with an operation of an operator, and

wherein the processor is further configured to switch the imaging mode to the first imaging mode or the second imaging mode.

2. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the guide to guide a plurality of grouped ridable moving objects to the recommended position.

3. The imaging system according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a reservation for the plurality of grouped ridable moving objects; and

cause the guide to guide the plurality of grouped ridable moving objects at the time of the reservation to the recommended position.

4. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive designation of an imaging condition at the time of imaging by the imager; and

cause the guide to guide the ridable moving object in accordance with the imaging condition.

5. The imaging system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first adjuster configured to adjust a height position of the user getting on the ridable moving object; and

a second adjuster configured to adjust a height position of the imager,

wherein the processor is further configured to adjust at least one of height positions of the first adjuster and the second adjuster.

6. The imaging system according to claim 5 , wherein the first adjuster adjusts the height position on a basis of at least one of user information about the user and a request of the user.

7. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to cause the ridable moving object to be driven or instruct the user to operate the ridable moving object.

8. An imaging system comprising:

an imager configured to image a ridable moving object positioned at a registered photo spot; and

a processor configured to execute a program to cause a guide to guide the ridable moving object on which a user gets and which is positioned near the photo spot to a recommended position in the photo spot,

wherein the imager is installed in another ridable moving object different from the ridable moving object.
