Capture Level Control for Image Permissions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current techniques require complex logic and significant labor to control image capture permissions based on execution timing, user attributes, and other factors, making it difficult to implement nuanced capture control in programs like games.
Innovation Solution
A capture execution/non-execution control device and method that uses a capture level value and reference value to determine whether to allow image capture, with a controller comparing these values to decide on capture permissions, enabling more straightforward and flexible control over image capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If complicated logic is implemented in the program to realize nuanced capture control, then the adaptability of capture control is improved, but the device complexity increases and implementation labor increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a capture level value as an intermediary parameter that mediates between the program and the capture control mechanism. Instead of implementing complicated logic directly in the program, the program simply outputs a capture level value (e.g., 0-10 scale), and the capture control device uses this value to determine capture permissions. This intermediary simplifies the program structure while maintaining flexible and nuanced capture control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameter from complex logical conditions to a simple numerical capture level value. The capture control device compares the capture level value with a reference value to determine whether to permit capture. This parameter transformation allows the system to achieve adaptable capture control without requiring complicated program logic, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complicated logic is implemented in the program to realize nuanced capture control, then the adaptability of capture control is improved, but the ease of manufacture decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The capture level value serves as an intermediary that decouples the complexity of capture control logic from the program implementation. The program only needs to output this simple numerical value, while the capture control device handles the complex comparison and decision-making processes. This significantly improves ease of manufacture and implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the complex capture control logic from the program and places it in the capture control device. The program is relieved of the burden of implementing nuanced capture control logic, and instead simply provides the capture level value. This extraction makes the program easier to manufacture and implement while maintaining high adaptability in capture control.
3Device complexity
If simple permission/prohibition notification is used from the program, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability of capture control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the simple permission/prohibition notification into a graded capture level value parameter. Instead of binary yes/no responses, the program outputs a numerical value (e.g., 0-10) that provides nuanced information about capture permission. The capture control device compares this value with a reference value to make decisions, thereby achieving high adaptability while keeping the device structure relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the capture control notification by introducing the capture level value scale. Instead of one-dimensional permission/prohibition binary states, the system uses a multi-dimensional numerical scale that allows for nuanced control. This dimensional expansion enables high adaptability without significantly increasing device complexity.

AI summary
A capture execution/non-execution control device includes a display controller that carries out control to cause an image generated through execution of a program to be displayed on a display unit, and a capture level value acquirer that acquires a capture level value indicating the degree of permission or prohibition of capture of an image displayed on the display unit. The capture execution/non-execution control device further includes a reference value acquirer that acquires a reference value serving as a criterion as to whether or not capture of an image is permitted, and a capture execution/non-execution controller that controls whether or not to execute capture of the image displayed on the display unit according to a result of comparison between the capture level value acquired and the reference value acquired.
