Image Capturing Apparatus Resolution Mismatch Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image capturing apparatuses face issues with mismatching resolutions between the image data generated by the image capturing unit and the distribution image generated by the compression encoding unit, leading to generation failures and complex user operations when only one resolution is changed.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing apparatus with an encoding unit, communication unit, obtaining unit, determination unit, and transmission unit that ensures matching resolutions by receiving designation of the encoding unit's resolution, obtaining associated resolutions, determining settable resolutions, and transmitting error responses if the designated resolution is not compatible, thereby preventing mismatching and facilitating correct image generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only one resolution is changed (either image capturing unit or compression encoding unit), then the resolution setting flexibility is improved, but resolution mismatching occurs making image generation impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by transmitting error responses when resolution mismatching is detected. The determination unit checks whether the designated resolution for the compression encoding unit matches the resolution of the image capturing unit, and the transmission unit sends an error response to the information processing apparatus if mismatching occurs, preventing failed image generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary validation by determining whether the designated resolution is compatible with the image capturing unit's resolution before attempting to generate the distribution image. This preliminary check prevents mismatching errors from occurring in the first place.
2Reliability
If manual resolution matching is required, then resolution compatibility can be ensured, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining and validating resolution compatibility between the image capturing unit and compression encoding unit. The determination unit autonomously checks whether the designated resolution matches the image capturing unit's resolution, eliminating the need for manual user intervention to ensure compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automated feedback through error responses that inform users of resolution mismatching issues. Instead of requiring users to manually match resolutions, the system automatically detects incompatibility and communicates the error, guiding users toward correct settings without complex manual operations.
3Reliability
If multiple commands are transmitted to correct mismatching, then resolution compatibility is restored, but operational steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of resolution compatibility before image generation proceeds. By checking whether the designated resolution matches the image capturing unit's resolution in advance, the system prevents mismatching errors from occurring, eliminating the need for subsequent corrective commands and reducing operational time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate feedback through error responses that notify users of resolution mismatching. This feedback mechanism allows for quick identification and correction of issues, preventing time loss that would result from attempting image generation with incompatible settings and requiring multiple corrective commands.

AI summary
An image capturing apparatus includes: an encoding unit configured to perform encoding processing on an image output from an image capturing unit for obtaining an image; a communication unit configured to receive designation of a resolution of the encoding unit from an information processing apparatus; an obtaining unit configured to obtain a resolution which is associated with the resolution set for the image capturing unit, and is settable for the encoding unit; a determination unit configured to determine whether the designated resolution is the resolution obtained by the obtaining unit and settable for the encoding unit; and a transmission unit configured to transmit an error response to the information processing apparatus, if the determination unit determines that the designated resolution is not the resolution obtained by the obtaining unit and settable for the encoding unit.
