Abstract

See full text

A select/execute key (6) of a mobile unit (2) having a transmitter (1.sub.i) is operated to transmit signals including ID data, and the transmitted signals are received by a receiver (11). The ID data is ascertained by a transmitter identifying component (12), and the direction and distance to transmitter (1.sub.i) are determined by a direction/distance evaluation component (13), thus determining the location of the transmitter. When the location of transmitter (1.sub.i) has been ascertained, a camera controller component 17 selects camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c) and controls its panning and tilting, thereby adjusting its angle of view and bringing it into focus. Camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c) is operated to take pictures for approximately one minute after the signals from transmitter (1.sub.i) is received. Pictures taken by camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c), as well as the ID of transmitter (1.sub.i) ascertained by transmitter identifying component (12), are recorded on a picture recording component (18) in the order of elapsed time. Recorded images are edited by an editing component (19) according to the ID of transmitter (1.sub.l) so that pictures corresponding to the same ID are extracted and dubbed on a standard video tape or a similar medium in the order of elapsed time by a dubbing device (20).
