Client Terminal Candidate Display for Automatic Image Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital camera systems do not display a screen for selecting an image to be captured from among reference image candidates during image capture, limiting user support for capturing desired images.
Innovation Solution
A client terminal and system that includes a candidate display control unit to show reference captured images retrieved based on preliminary image capture, allowing users to select and output detailed information for actual image capture, with a server transmitting and receiving images to facilitate this process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual scene selection is implemented, then shooting settings can be automatically configured, but user operation complexity increases and shooting speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera performs automatic scene recognition and classification without requiring manual user input. The image processing unit automatically analyzes the captured image, identifies the scene type, and selects appropriate shooting settings, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of scene selection is replaced by an automated image processing system. The image processing unit uses computational algorithms to analyze image content and automatically determine shooting parameters, substituting the manual selection mechanism with an automated digital processing system.
2Manufacturing precision
If reference images are displayed during capture, then image composition quality improves, but device complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates simplified copy images by extracting key features from the captured image and generating a reduced-complexity representation. This copy image serves as a reference for composition analysis without requiring the full complexity of the original image processing, thus improving composition quality while limiting the increase in device complexity.
3Measurement precision
If detailed EXIF information is provided, then shooting parameter accuracy improves, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential shooting parameters and scene classification information from the full EXIF data set. By selectively extracting relevant information rather than processing all available data, the system maintains measurement precision for critical parameters while reducing the overall information processing complexity.

AI summary
The client terminal includes a candidate display control unit configured to control a candidate for a reference captured image to be displayed on a display unit, the reference captured image being retrieved based on a preliminary captured image obtained by preliminary image capture in an imaging unit and being referred to during actual image capture, and a detailed information output control unit configured to control detailed information to be output, the detailed information being attached to a reference captured image selected from among the displayed candidates for the reference captured image.
