Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital cameras require user instruction for transferring captured images to a server, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic camera equipped with wireless communication, transfer control, power supply judgment, and power source switching capabilities, allowing automatic image transfer based on power state changes and archive bit judgments, enabling timely and unattended image transfer to a server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic image transfer based on power state changes is implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system automatically detects power state changes and initiates image transfer without user intervention. The controller monitors power supply status and autonomously decides when to transfer images based on detected power states, eliminating the need for manual user instructions while maintaining simple operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures automatic transfer logic that activates when specific power states are detected. The controller is programmed to automatically initiate image transfer when power supply changes are detected, preparing and executing transfer actions before user intervention would be needed.
2Use of energy by moving object
If power source switching control is added, then energy management is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller continuously monitors power supply status and uses this feedback to automatically adjust transfer operations. When power state changes are detected, the system receives feedback about the new power condition and automatically initiates or prohibits transfer accordingly, creating a closed-loop energy management system.
Solution Approach 2:
The power management system dynamically adjusts transfer behavior based on real-time power state changes. The controller adapts transfer operations to match current power conditions, enabling flexible energy management that responds to changing power availability without requiring complex manual control mechanisms.
3Productivity
If automatic transfer based on archive bit judgment is implemented, then productivity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses archive bits to automatically identify and select images for transfer without user input. The controller reads archive bit information, autonomously determines which images need transfer, and executes transfer operations automatically, maintaining high productivity while preserving ease of operation through complete automation.

AI summary
An electronic camera includes a wireless communication means for connecting to a wireless network; a transfer control means for transferring a captured image to a server through the wireless network connected by the wireless communication means; a power supply judgment means for judging whether or not power supply from outside has started; and a power source switching means for switching a power source of the electronic camera to ON or OFF. When the power source of the electronic camera has been switched to OFF by the power source switching means and if it has been judged by the power supply judgment means that supply of the power has started, the transfer control means transfers the captured image to the server, and when the power source of the electronic camera has been switched to ON by the power source switching means and if it has been judged by the power supply judgment means that supply of the power has started, the transfer control means prohibits transfer of the captured image to the server.
