TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, a program, and an information processing method.

BACKGROUND ART

Some devices such as digital still cameras or digital video cameras (hereinafter generally referred to as “digital cameras” in some cases) can connect to information processing terminals such as smartphones via wireless networks. As a communication standard for connecting different devices via wireless networks in this way, for example, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) (registered trademark) can be exemplified.

In addition, in recent years, functions of operating imaging devices such as digital cameras via information processing terminals are provided by connecting the imaging devices to the information processing terminals via networks. Some of the imaging devices in which input and output interfaces installed in the imaging devices are restricted (for example, simplified or excluded) have been provided on the premise that information processing terminals connected via networks are used as main user interfaces (UIs) because such functions are provided.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

In imaging devices such as digital cameras, start and end of a predetermination operation are controlled in some cases in accordance with a state in which a shutter button is pushed halfway (a so-called half-push state), a state in which the shutter button is pushed fully (a so-called full-push state), and a state in which the shutter button is not pushed.

For example, when a plurality of still images are captured while an autofocus (AF) function (a case of so-called continuous shoot) is operated, an imaging device starts capturing, that is, continuous shoot, of images by operating the AF function in the half-push state and transitioning to the full-push state. Then, the imaging device continues the started continuous shoot as long as the full-push state is maintained, and ends the continued continuous shoot with cancellation of the full-push state, that is, transition to the state in which the shutter button is not pushed.

On the other hand, when an imaging device is operated via an information processing terminal, an interface such as a touch panel of the information processing terminal is used as a UI for operating the imaging device in some cases without being limited to a so-called button type interface such as a shutter button. Therefore, even in an operation via a graphical user interface (GUI), such as an operation via a touch panel, there is a request for a structure in which start and end of a predetermined operation (for example, continuous shoot) on an imaging device can be instructed through an intuitive operation as in the above-described operation via the shutter button.

Accordingly, the present disclosure proposes an information processing device, a program, and an information processing method capable of instructing an imaging device to start and end a predetermined operation through an operation via a GUI.

Solution to Problem

According to the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing device including: a display control unit configured to control display of a slider on a display unit, the slider being configured such that a display object is movable between predetermined positions; and a process control unit configured to instruct an imaging unit to control photography in a predetermined mode when the process control unit receives an operation of moving the display object.

According to the present disclosure, there is provided a program causing a computer to execute: controlling display of a slider on a display unit, the slider being configured such that a display object is movable between predetermined positions; and instructing an imaging unit to control photography in a predetermined mode when an operation of moving the display object is received.

According to the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing method including: controlling display of a slider on a display unit, the slider being configured such that a display object is movable between predetermined positions; and instructing, by a processor, an imaging unit to control photography in a predetermined mode when an operation of moving the display object is received.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

The present disclosure described above provides an information processing device, a program, and an information processing method capable of instructing an imaging device to start and end a predetermined operation through an operation via a GUI.

Note that the effects described above are not necessarily limitative. With or in the place of the above effects, there may be achieved any one of the effects described in this specification or other effects that may be grasped from this specification.
