Real-Time Camcorder State Monitoring for Accurate Data Acquisition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of recording apparatuses face difficulties in acquiring and understanding the acquisition state of material data from camcorders, leading to potential misacquisition of data not conforming to their intentions, due to the lack of real-time state information presentation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires and records state information from photographing apparatuses, allowing for real-time monitoring and presentation of the camcorder's state, along with the ability to temporarily store and manage image data, ensuring accurate and intended data acquisition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the recording apparatus only acquires material data from the camcorder without presenting state information, then the data acquisition process is simple, but the user cannot grasp the acquisition state or control the data acquisition
Solution Approach 1:
The recording apparatus presents state information about the camcorder's material data acquisition state to the user in real-time. This feedback mechanism allows users to monitor whether the camcorder is currently acquiring material data, enabling informed control decisions while maintaining a relatively simple overall system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an information presentation interface as an intermediary between the camcorder and the user. This intermediary displays state information without requiring complex direct interaction between the user and the camcorder's internal acquisition processes, simplifying the user interface while improving controllability.
2Loss of time
If the user waits until material data is transmitted to understand its contents, then the system architecture remains simple, but the user cannot quickly transmit instructions or prevent misacquisition
Solution Approach 1:
The system presents state information about material data acquisition before the actual data transmission occurs. This allows users to understand what data is being acquired and transmit control instructions in advance, preventing misacquisition and reducing time loss without requiring complex real-time data processing.
3Reliability
If the recording apparatus acquires state information in real-time, then the user can control data acquisition effectively, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary state information from the camcorder for presentation to the user, rather than processing or transmitting all camcorder data. This selective extraction approach ensures reliable data acquisition control while keeping the system complexity manageable by focusing only on essential state parameters.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus that acquires, from a photographing apparatus that photographs a subject and records image data obtained as a result of the photographing, state information indicating a present state of the photographing apparatus includes: a state acquiring unit that acquires the state information from the photographing apparatus on a real time basis; a data acquiring unit that acquires image data recorded in the photographing apparatus; a recording control unit that causes an accumulating unit that accumulates the image data acquired by the data acquiring unit to record the image data; and a presenting unit that presents the state information acquired by the state acquiring unit on a real time basis.
