Image processing system and ordering system

Abstract

The image processing system identifies a subject person corresponding to accompanying information based on consistency between the accompanying information and subject information and carries out image composition associating the accompanying information with a position of the subject person in a corresponding photographed image. The ordering system includes a first information apparatus having an image displaying unit and a second information apparatus capable of transmitting order data at optional timing desired by a customer to the first information apparatus with respect to an image displayed on the image displaying unit. The first information apparatus adds predetermined data relating to the displayed image corresponding to the optional timing to the order data to prepare goods order data and transmits the goods order data to a third information apparatus in a predetermined destination of transmission.

1 . An image processing system, including: 
 an image inputting unit for inputting an image of a subject;    an image processing unit for applying image processing to the image inputted by said image inputting unit; and    an image outputting unit for outputting the image to which the image processing is applied by said image processing unit; further comprising:    an accompanying information obtaining unit for obtaining accompanying information concerning a subject person of said image;    a subject information obtaining unit for obtaining subject information concerning said subject person from said inputted mage;    a person identifying unit for identifying the subject person corresponding to said accompanying information based on consistency between said accompanying information and said subject information; and    an image compositing unit for carrying out image composition associating said accompanying information with a position of the subject person in a corresponding photographed image based on a result of identification by said person identifying unit.    
     
     
         2 . The image processing system according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein a camera for photographing said subject obtains information recorded in a predetermined recording medium by communicating with a portable information apparatus held by the subject person or with an apparatus for collectively managing accompanying information for each subject person at the time of photographing, thereby obtaining said accompanying information, or said accompanying information is directly obtained from said apparatus for collectively managing accompanying information.    
     
     
         3 . The image processing system according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein all of said image processing unit, said image outputting unit, said accompanying information obtaining unit, said subject information obtaining unit, said person identifying unit and said image compositing unit are mounted with a camera, said image processing system is composed of said camera, and accompanying information concerning the subject person in a photographed image is composited with the photographed image in said camera.    
     
     
         4 . The image processing system according to  claim 3 , 
 wherein said camera communicates with a portable information apparatus held by a subject person or with an apparatus for collectively managing accompanying information for each subject person at the time of photographing, thereby obtaining accompanying information concerning said subject person.    
     
     
         5 . The image processing system according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein said camera further includes a voice obtaining unit, obtains voices of the subject person with said voice obtaining unit at the time of photographing and uses the voices in carrying out said person identification.    
     
     
         6 . The image processing system according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein said accompanying information includes a face image of a subject person corresponding to said accompanying information and said person identifying unit carries out identification of the subject person using the face image.    
     
     
         7 . The image processing system according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein said image outputting unit outputs an image in which said accompanying information is composited by at least one of a method of outputting the image as a print, a method of recording the image in an image file, a method of displaying the image on an image displaying device and a method of transferring the image by communication.
