Event-Triggered Image Recording Control for Lower Data Volume
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing monitoring systems face an issue of increased recording data volume due to continuous triggers, as recording is performed for a predetermined time when a trigger occurs, leading to prolonged data capture.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes an acquisition unit to detect events, a determination unit to start, continue, and stop recording based on event detection within specific time periods, and a recording control unit to manage recording start and end times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If recording is performed for a predetermined time when a trigger occurs, then event detection reliability is improved, but recording data volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the recording duration adaptive rather than fixed. The determination unit dynamically adjusts whether to continue recording based on real-time event detection results. When an event is detected during the predetermined period, recording continues; when no event is detected, recording stops. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliability through event-based continuation while reducing unnecessary data volume from static predetermined recording.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of recording duration from a fixed predetermined time to a variable duration determined by event detection. The determination unit evaluates whether an event occurred within the predetermined period and adjusts the recording state accordingly. This parameter change allows the system to maintain adequate event capture (reliability) while avoiding excessive recording when no events occur (data volume reduction).

AI summary
An information processing apparatus (10) includes: an acquisition unit (11) that acquires information indicating an event detected based on an image captured by an imaging apparatus (20); a determination unit (12) that determines to start recording of the image when the event is detected at a first point of time, to continue the recording when the event is continuously detected within a first period from the first point of time, and to stop the recording when the event is continuously detected in a case of exceeding the first period from the first point of time; and a recording control unit (13) that controls a start and an end of the recording based on a result determined by the determination unit.
