Image Apparatus Priority Display for Recognized People
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging apparatuses with face recognition technologies face usability issues in displaying personal information, as overlapping information can obscure the original image and decrease user convenience in recognizing personal information.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus with a storage unit for attribute information and a display unit that prioritizes the display of attribute information, ensuring that attribute information for a person with higher priority is shown above that of a person with lower priority, improving visibility and user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If personal information is displayed superimposed on a captured image, then personal information visibility is improved, but the original subject image becomes difficult to identify
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying attribute information in specific localized regions (such as corners or edges) of the display screen rather than superimposing it directly on the subject image. This allows personal information to be visible while preserving the clarity and identifiability of the original subject image in the main viewing area.
2Loss of information
If multiple pieces of personal information are displayed concurrently, then information completeness is improved, but recognition difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multiple pieces of attribute information into separate display regions or layers. Each person's attribute information is displayed in distinct locations or with distinct visual characteristics, allowing users to recognize and process multiple pieces of information without confusion or difficulty.
3Loss of information
If attribute information is displayed for multiple people, then information completeness is improved, but image composition analysis becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes additional display dimensions (such as vertical stacking, lateral placement, or layered display) to present multiple people's attribute information. This dimensional approach allows complete information display while maintaining clear visibility of the image composition and avoiding obstruction of the visual content.

AI summary
An imaging apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store attribute information about a person and information about a priority of the person with the attribute information associated with the information about a priority, an imaging unit configured to capture a subject to generate image data, and a display unit configured to display attribute information of a person included in an image represented by the image data generated by the imaging unit. When displaying plural pieces of attribute information for a plurality of people with the plurality pieces of attribute information being overlapped, the display unit displays attribute information of a person having a higher priority above attribute information of a person having a lower priority.
