Camera Recording Control Apparatus for Factory Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In factory automation, existing recording systems record unnecessary images, which can interrupt the search for desired images and waste storage capacity, as they lack the ability to selectively control image recording based on event relevance.
Innovation Solution
A recording control apparatus that controls image recording start and deletion based on information from an imaging apparatus and an external upper-level system, allowing for automatic recording and deletion of images based on event detection and user instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automatic recording is started based on imaging apparatus information, then recording coverage is improved, but unnecessary images are recorded and storage capacity is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the recording control apparatus receives instructions from an external apparatus (such as an upper-level management system) to determine whether to continue recording. After starting automatic recording based on imaging apparatus information, the system continuously monitors for external instructions and adjusts recording behavior accordingly, ensuring that only necessary images are stored while maintaining comprehensive coverage when needed.
2Reliability
If all detected event images are recorded, then no desired image is missed, but search efficiency is reduced due to excessive data volume
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from external apparatus instructions to dynamically control recording behavior. When the external apparatus determines that a detected event is not relevant to production management, it sends an instruction to stop recording, thereby reducing the total number of recorded images and improving search efficiency without missing important events that require recording.
3Reliability
If continuous recording is performed to ensure no important events are missed, then recording reliability is improved, but storage resources are consumed and unnecessary images are accumulated
Solution Approach 1:
The recording system transitions from a static continuous recording mode to a dynamic conditional recording mode. The recording control apparatus dynamically adjusts between recording and non-recording states based on real-time instructions from the external apparatus, ensuring that recording resources are consumed only when necessary for capturing important production events.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the recording parameter from a fixed continuous state to a variable state controlled by external instructions. The recording control apparatus modifies recording behavior parameters (on/off state) based on incoming instructions, allowing the system to adapt recording intensity and duration to actual production needs, thereby reducing unnecessary storage consumption while maintaining event capture reliability.

AI summary
A recording control apparatus that controls to record an image captured by a camera starts recording of the image captured by the camera based on information acquired from the camera. In a case where an instruction to delete the image is received from a upper-level system configured to acquire information different from the information acquired from the camera or in a case where an instruction to the image is not received from the upper-level system for a certain period, the recording control apparatus deletes the image captured by the camera.
