Digital Camera Automatic Environment Setup Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Digital photographing apparatuses often maintain static environment settings regardless of state changes, making it difficult for users to achieve desired settings without manual intervention.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically change environment settings based on predefined conditions, such as display mode, storage capacity, and location information, using a condition determination unit, storage search unit, and environment setup change unit to activate or deactivate functions like additional information insertion, image deletion, file moving, video mode, language, and time settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If environment setup is changed manually through setup menu, then user can achieve desired settings, but user operation complexity increases and convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user needs and changes environment settings without manual intervention. The photographing apparatus monitors its own state (storage capacity, connection status, photographing mode) and autonomously adjusts environment setups such as image quality, resolution, and power saving modes, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors photographing state information (storage capacity, connection status, photographing mode) and uses this feedback to automatically adjust environment settings. When the apparatus detects changes in state, it retrieves corresponding environment setups from storage and applies them, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to user needs based on real-time conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If environment setup maintains static setting, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different states deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The environment setup changes dynamically based on photographing state. The system transitions from static configuration to dynamic adaptation by continuously monitoring state changes (storage capacity thresholds, connection status, photographing mode) and automatically retrieving and applying appropriate environment setups from storage, allowing the apparatus to adapt its behavior to current conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple environment setups are pre-stored in the apparatus memory, each corresponding to specific photographing states. When a state change occurs, the system quickly retrieves the pre-prepared environment setup matching the current state, avoiding real-time calculation and enabling immediate adaptation. This preliminary preparation of various scenario-specific settings allows rapid response to state changes.
