Camera Setting Retrieval via Printed Codes for Image Reproduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users, especially inexperienced ones, struggle to set appropriate combinations of shooting apparatus settings to replicate images from printed materials like posters or pamphlets, as existing technologies, to re-print the printed material, due to the difficulty of addressing existing technologies, to re-print the printed material, due to the difficulty of finding the correct setting combinations, even when changes or additions are made to the settings.
Innovation Solution
A shooting apparatus that specifies an access destination for obtaining setting information from which the printed material, due to the difficulty of finding the correct setting information, the system configures the shooting apparatus to the printed material, the system configures the printing the printed material, the shooting apparatus to access an information processing apparatus via a URI indicated by a two-dimensional code, allowing it to obtain and apply updated setting information without re-printing the material.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If setting values are embedded in a two-dimensional code printed on printed material, then users can easily obtain and set the correct shooting parameters, but the printed material must be re-printed when setting values are changed or added
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the setting information delivery system dynamic by replacing static printed two-dimensional codes with dynamic information delivery through communication networks. The shooting apparatus can now receive updated setting values remotely via network communication, allowing the system to adapt to changing requirements without physical re-printing of materials.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information delivery apparatus as an intermediary between the printed material and the shooting apparatus. This intermediary receives identification information from the shooting apparatus, retrieves corresponding setting values from a database, and transmits them back to the shooting apparatus, enabling flexible updates without re-printing.
2Productivity
If preset combinations of setting values are provided on the shooting apparatus, then shooting can be performed quickly for common scenarios, but the settings may not match the specific combination used when shooting the reference photograph
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables precise copying of the exact setting values used to create a reference photograph by embedding identification information in the printed material that links to the original shooting parameters. Users can retrieve and reproduce the authentic settings through the information delivery system, ensuring accurate replication of the reference image characteristics.

AI summary
A shooting apparatus (101) specifies, based on reading of a predetermined printed material including at least a predetermined image obtained through shooting performed by another shooting apparatus, an access destination associated with an information processing apparatus (111) to be accessed to obtain predetermined setting information associated with a setting used by the other shooting apparatus in the shooting, obtains the predetermined setting information through communication with the information processing apparatus (111) via the access destination; and sets the shooting apparatus (101) with use of the predetermined setting information.
