Abstract

There is provided an image recording apparatus including an image-capturing section that captures an image of the observed person, an observation result input section that inputs a result of the observation done by the observer, an input detecting section that detects the input of the observation result by the observation result input section, and an image storing control section that stores the image of the observed person which is captured by the image-capturing section when the input detecting section detects the input of the observation result.

1 . An image recording apparatus for assisting an observer who observes an observed person, comprising:
 an image-capturing section that captures an image of the observed person;   an observation result input section that inputs a result of the observation done by the observer;   an input detecting section that detects the input of the observation result by the observation result input section; and   an image storing control section that stores the image of the observed person which is captured by the image-capturing section when the input detecting section detects the input of the observation result.   
     
     
         2 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein
 the image storing control section stores images of the observed person which are captured by the image-capturing section within a predetermined time period starting from a time that precedes, by a predetermined time period, a time at which the input detecting section detects the input of the observation result.   
     
     
         3 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising
 an electronic medical record storing section that stores thereon an electronic medical record into which the observation result of the observed person is input, wherein   the observation result input section includes   a digital input section that inputs the observation result into the electronic medical record stored on the electronic medical record storing section, and   the input detecting section detects that the observation result is input by the digital input section into the electronic medical record stored on the electronic medical record storing section.   
     
     
         4 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein
 the observation result input section includes   a writing section that writes the observation result into a medical record, and   the input detecting section detects that the observation result is written by the writing section.   
     
     
         5 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an image storing section that stores the image captured by the image-capturing section in association with information indicating the observation result input by the observation result input section;   an observation result information input section that causes a user to input information indicating a result of an observation done by the observer; and   an output section that outputs an image of the observed person which is stored on the image storing section in association with the information indicating the observation result which is input through the observation result information input section.   
     
     
         6 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an image storing section that stores thereon the image captured by the image-capturing section in association with a time at which the observation result input section inputs the observation result;   a time input section that causes a user to input a time; and   an output section that outputs an image of the observed person which is stored on the image storing section in association with the time input through the time input section.   
     
     
         7 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 5 , further comprising
 a sound recording section that records sound information of the observer when the image-capturing section captures the image of the observed person, wherein   the image storing section stores thereon the image of the observed person which is captured by the image-capturing section further in association with the sound information of the observer which is recorded by the sound recording section.   
     
     
         8 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising
 an image storing section that stores thereon at least a partial region of the image of the observed person which is captured by the image-capturing section, in association with information indicating the observation result, based on the input of the digital input section.   
     
     
         9 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising:
 an image storing section that stores thereon the image captured by the image-capturing section in association with information indicating the observation result input by the observation result input section;   an observation result information input section that causes a user to input information indicating a result of an observation done by the observer; and   an output section that outputs an image of the observed person which is stored on the image storing section in association with the information indicating the observation result which is input through the observation result information input section, wherein   the output section displays, side by side within the electronic medical record in a chronological order, at least a partial region of each of images of the observed person which are stored on the image storing section.   
     
     
         10 . The image recording apparatus as set forth in  claim 9 , wherein
 the output section displays an image obtained by enlarging the partial region of the each of the images of the observed person which are stored on the image storing section.   
     
     
         11 . An image recording method for assisting an observer who observes an observed person, comprising:
 capturing an image of the observed person;   inputting a result of the observation done by the observer;   detecting the input of the observation result in the inputting; and   storing the image of the observed person which is captured in the image capturing when the input of the observation result is detected in the detecting.   
     
     
         12 . An image recording program for an image recording apparatus that assists an observer who observes an observed person, the image recording program causing the image recording apparatus to function as:
 an image-capturing section that captures an image of the observed person;   an observation result input section that inputs a result of the observation done by the observer;   an input detecting section that detects the input of the observation result by the observation result input section; and   an image storing control section that stores the image of the observed person which is captured by the image-capturing section when the input detecting section detects the input of the observation result.
