We developed a mechanism for photographing people and annotating their behavior along with nearby elements using multiple embedded cameras. In addition, we developed a method of dynamically integrating and presenting the recorded content. As conventional cameras are used to photograph objects selected by users, taking pictures that include users while holding the camera is difficult. Security camera systems take pictures that include people and nearby elements, but such systems cannot show the intentions of the people being photographed. After detecting the intentions and behaviors of subjects with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, our system selects the best camera from cameras located in an area, and then the camera photographs the subject and the surrounding area. In addition, these photos can be annotated with information about the context and movement history of the subject. We created a prototype of our system and determined its effectiveness experimentally.
