Authorized Image Capture Compliance Using Verification Rules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to provide proof that image capturing is performed with the approval of an authorization source, such as a commercial facility administrator, due to reliance on image data and location information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that obtains verification information and image capturing rules from an authorization source, analyzes captured images for compliance, and enforces authorized image capturing modes to ensure compliance with established rules, including real-time warnings and editing of non-compliant content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If definitive determination is made using only image data and location information, then the determination process is simple, but it is not possible to prove that captured image was taken with approval of authorization source
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authorization source (such as a server or management system) as an intermediary that issues verification information to the image capturing apparatus. This verification information serves as proof of authorization, allowing the system to reliably prove that captured images were taken with proper approval while maintaining reasonable system complexity through the use of standardized verification mechanisms.
2Reliability
If verification information and compliance analysis are implemented, then compliance with authorization rules is ensured, but user and authorization source burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by obtaining verification information and image capturing rules from the authorization source before the actual image capturing takes place. This allows the system to pre-configure compliance parameters and verification mechanisms, ensuring that compliance is automatically ensured during capturing without increasing operational burden during the actual shooting process.
Solution Approach 2:
The image capturing apparatus performs self-service by automatically analyzing captured images for compliance with the obtained rules and autonomously determining whether to output the captured data. This automation eliminates the need for manual review by users or authorization sources, maintaining high compliance assurance while minimizing operational burden.
3Loss of information
If all captured images are stored for verification, then complete compliance record is maintained, but storage requirements and processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential compliance information from captured images by analyzing them against predefined rules and determining compliance status. Instead of storing all captured images, the system outputs only the determined compliance information and selected captured data, thereby maintaining complete compliance records while minimizing storage requirements and processing burden.

AI summary
Whether Image capturing is performed in compliance with the rules established by an authorization source is to be proved. An information processing apparatus (200) according to the present disclosure obtains approval information indicating that an approval has been obtained from an authorization source regarding an act of image capturing, and image capturing rule information indicating a rule regarding image capturing (S601, S603), and edits data of an image captured by performing image capturing, so as to conform to the rule (S713), in a case where image capturing in compliance with the rule is not performed in a state where the approval information has been obtained (S710).
