Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional digital cameras are used without position and direction detecting means, then the device complexity is low, but the ease of operation deteriorates because users must know shooting position and direction in advance
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system automatically detects position, direction, and altitude without user intervention, and autonomously determines whether the shooting object matches the stored predetermined object. This self-service approach eliminates the need for users to manually input location data or determine shooting parameters, thereby improving ease of operation while managing device complexity through automated functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera integrates multiple functions including position detection, direction detection, altitude detection, and automatic object identification into a single system. By combining GPS reception, direction sensing, and image analysis capabilities, the system achieves multi-functionality that improves operational convenience while consolidating various detection functions into one unified device.
2Measurement precision
If GPS positioning function is added to determine location, then the measurement precision of position is improved, but the device complexity increases and the shooting direction cannot be determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines GPS position detection with direction detection means and altitude detection means into an integrated system. By merging these separate detection functions, the system achieves comprehensive spatial awareness (position, direction, and altitude) while managing device complexity through unified control and processing of all detection data to determine shooting orientation and identify predetermined objects.
3Ease of operation
If the camera identifies the shooting object automatically using position and direction detection, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional detecting means
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system automatically detects position, direction, and altitude without user intervention, and autonomously determines whether the shooting object matches the stored predetermined object. This self-service approach eliminates the need for users to manually input location data or determine shooting parameters, thereby improving ease of operation while managing device complexity through automated functions.
4Manufacturing precision
If white balance is adjusted based on shooting direction and altitude, then the manufacturing precision of image quality is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional control functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system adjusts image parameters including white balance based on detected shooting conditions such as direction and altitude. By dynamically changing these parameters according to environmental data, the system improves image quality precision while managing complexity through automated parameter adjustment rather than manual intervention.

AI summary
An image processing device including an optical system, a storage device, a position detecting device, and a direction detecting device. An optical system obtains an image of an object, and a storage device stores a predetermined position of an object to be shot. The position detecting device detects a current position of the image processing device, and the direction detecting device detects the directional orientation of the image processing device. A processor then determines whether an obtained object of shooting corresponds to the object to be shot by comparing signals output from said position detecting device and said direction detecting device with the stored position of the object to be shot.
