Album Generation Apparatus Automating Image Selection via Identification Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for generating albums using images captured by other vehicles or fixed cameras are complex for users, as they require manual compilation and transmission of images.
Innovation Solution
An album generation apparatus that acquires identification information for a user and a mobile object, selects relevant images from image capturing apparatuses, and generates an album using this information, simplifying the process through a system comprising service acceptance, image capturing, album generation, and viewing apparatuses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If images are automatically transmitted from other vehicles or fixed cameras to the self-vehicle, then image acquisition is simplified, but album generation becomes complicated for users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs album generation without requiring user intervention. The album generation apparatus autonomously acquires identification information, selects appropriate images from multiple sources, and generates the album, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an album generation apparatus as an intermediary component between image acquisition and user reception. This mediator automatically processes the transmitted images, performs selection based on identification information, and generates the final album, thereby decoupling the simplified image acquisition from the complex album generation process.
2Measurement precision
If manual compilation and transmission of images is required, then image selection precision is high, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs automatic image selection based on acquisition identification information rather than manual user selection. The album generation apparatus autonomously determines which images to include in the album by matching identification information from the service acceptance apparatus, eliminating the need for manual user compilation while maintaining selection accuracy.
3Ease of operation
If automated image selection is implemented, then user operation is simplified, but image selection accuracy may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The album generation apparatus serves as an intelligent intermediary that automatically performs image selection using acquisition identification information. This mediator translates service acceptance data into precise image selection, maintaining high selection accuracy while completely automating the process for user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses acquisition identification information as feedback from the service acceptance apparatus to guide automatic image selection. This feedback mechanism ensures that the automated selection process accurately identifies and selects the relevant images needed for album generation.
