Dynamic Display Region Adjustment for Remote Camera Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote camera operation software struggles with effectively utilizing the display screen when live view images cannot be acquired from the camera, leading to unnecessary and unutilized display regions.
Innovation Solution
A control apparatus that acquires data from an external camera via communication and generates a display screen with adjustable regions based on the availability of live view images, allowing for the expansion of operation information display areas when live view images are not available.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed screen configuration displaying both LV images and operation components is used, then users can remotely operate the camera while confirming LV images, but the display screen cannot be effectively utilized when LV images cannot be acquired from the camera
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen configuration is made dynamic and adaptable based on the availability of LV images. When LV images are available, the screen displays both the LV image and operation components. When LV images cannot be acquired, the display automatically adjusts to show only operation components, maximizing the utilization of display screen area while maintaining ease of operation.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the LV image display region is maintained even when LV images cannot be acquired, then the screen layout remains consistent, but the display region is unnecessary and wastes screen space
Solution Approach 1:
When LV images cannot be acquired, the unnecessary LV image display region is extracted or removed from the screen configuration. This allows the display screen to be fully utilized for showing operation components and other useful information, eliminating the waste of display screen real estate while maintaining a stable and functional layout through adaptive reconfiguration.
Data Source
AI summary
A control apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire data from an external apparatus via a communication unit, and a generation unit configured to, based on the data acquired by the acquisition unit, generate a display screen including operation information which is information for operating the external apparatus, wherein the generation unit, based on whether a live view image is included in the data acquired by the acquisition unit, adjusts a display region for the operation information in the display screen.
