Description

This disclosure relates to a wearable device and a method for controlling its shooting. For example, the technology of using wearable devices carried by field workers to film their work has been known for some time. However, a problem with such filming of field work using wearable devices is the battery depletion of the wearable devices. Patent Document 1 describes a technique for reducing the power consumption of a head-mounted display by lowering the resolution of images captured by a camera module.

Next, embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail. [First Embodiment] <System Configuration> Figure 1 is a configuration diagram of an example of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment. The information processing system 1 shown in Figure 1 includes a wearable terminal 10, an information processing device 20, and an analysis worker terminal 30. The wearable device 10 is a device carried or worn by a field worker performing work at site 2. The wearable device 10, carried or worn by the field worker, can record video from the field worker's first-person perspective. The video from the field worker's first-person perspective may be a video recording of the field worker's line of sight, or a video recording of what is directly in front of the field worker. For example, the wearable device 10 can be attached to any location on the field worker's arm, near their eyes, near their ears, around their neck, or on the clothing they are wearing. The wearable device 10 may be a dedicated device or a smartphone with a dedicated application installed. A dedicated device for the wearable device 10 is, for example, a neck-worn type that is attached to the field worker's neck to record first-person perspective video. A smartphone with a dedicated application installed may be attached to the field worker using, for example, a smartphone harness or smartphone holder. In this embodiment, a neck-worn type wearable device 10 that is attached to the field worker's neck to record first-person perspective video will be described as an example. The wearable device 10 is connected to the information processing device 20 via the network 50 in a communicative manner. The wearable device 10 may also be connected to the information processing device 20 via the network 50 by utilizing the communication function of a mobile device such as a field worker's smartphone. The network 50 is, for example, the internet. The network 50 may also be a LAN (Local Area Network) or a dedicated communication line. The wearable terminal 10 has a control unit 12. The control unit 12 is a hardware configuration that executes programs, and can be a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), etc. The wearable terminal 10 can perform various processes described later by having the CPU of the control unit 12 execute a program. The information processing device 20 is connected to the wearable terminal 10 and the analysis worker terminal 30 via the network 50, enabling communication. The information processing device 20 receives video or still image data (captured data) captured by the wearable terminal 10. The information processing device 20 stores the captured data received from the wearable terminal 10. The information processing device 20 may use the stored captured data for, for example, annotation work or remote support processing. Furthermore, the information processing device 20 has a control unit 22. The control unit 22 is a hardware configuration that executes programs, and can be a CPU, ASIC, or FPGA, for example. For instance, the information processing device 20 can perform various processes described later by having a CPU (an example of the control unit 22) execute a program. The analysis operator terminal 30 is a device used by analysis operators, such as annotators or remote support personnel, to operate the image data stored by the information processing device 20. The analysis operator terminal 30 is equipped with various tools used by analysis operators, such as annotation tools
