Image Capture Rule Editing With Approval Proof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image capturing technologies fail to prove that captured images were taken with the approval of an authorization source, such as a commercial facility administrator, leading to potential violations of established image capturing rules.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that obtains approval information and image capturing rules, edits captured images to conform to these rules, and provides real-time warnings and edits to ensure compliance, thereby proving authorized image capturing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If definitive determination is made using image data or location information, then image capturing can be controlled, but it is not possible to prove that captured images were taken with approval from authorization sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism where an authorization source (such as a commercial facility administrator) issues digital certificates or tokens that verify the user's right to capture images. This intermediary credential system proves authorized capturing without requiring complex direct monitoring of each capture action, resolving the contradiction between reliability of proof and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication before image capturing is allowed. Users must obtain approval information and authentication credentials from the authorization source prior to capturing images. This preliminary action establishes proof of authorization in advance, avoiding the need for complex real-time verification systems during the actual capturing process.
2Ease of operation
If image capturing is performed without approval from authorization sources, then image capturing is free and convenient, but rules established by authorization sources may be violated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors image capturing operations and compares them against the authorization rules. When capturing activity deviates from approved parameters (such as capturing prohibited objects or exceeding authorized zones), the system provides immediate feedback through warnings or automatic termination. This maintains ease of operation within boundaries while preventing rule violations through automated feedback control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by pre-configuring authentication barriers and rule-based constraints that prevent unauthorized capturing before it can occur. The authentication system and rule enforcement mechanisms are set up in advance to block unauthorized capturing attempts, thereby preventing harmful rule violations without requiring active intervention during normal operation.
3Reliability
If approval information and image capturing rules are obtained and edits are performed on captured images, then compliance with rules is proven, but processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of approval information and authentication credentials before allowing image capturing to proceed. This preliminary action ensures that only authorized capturing operations are permitted, establishing compliance proof in advance. By validating authorization beforehand rather than after capture, the system reduces the time needed for subsequent verification and processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the image processing workflow into distinct phases: authentication verification, rule compliance checking, and image editing. By separating these functions into modular segments that can be processed independently and in parallel, the system reduces overall processing time while maintaining reliable compliance verification. The authentication and rule checking are handled as separate preliminary steps before the main image capture and editing processes.

AI summary
Whether Image capturing is performed in compliance with the rules established by an authorization source is to be proved. An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure obtains approval information indicating that an approval has been obtained from an authorization source regarding an act of image capturing, and image capturing rule information indicating a rule regarding image capturing, and edits data of an image captured by performing image capturing, so as to conform to the rule, in a case where image capturing in compliance with the rule is not performed in a state where the approval information has been obtained.
