Image Processing Apparatus Protocol-Based OSD Size Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image processing apparatuses face challenges in properly superimposing on-screen displays (OSD) on images of sizes prescribed by communication protocols, especially when supporting multiple protocols, leading to potential coverage of the image area by the OSD.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that determines the communication protocol and adjusts the settable range of image sizes for OSD superimposition based on the protocol type, ensuring proper alignment and visibility of the OSD on images of varying sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the imaging apparatus supports multiple communication protocols with different prescribed image sizes, then the adaptability to different protocols is improved, but the ability to properly superimpose OSD on images of prescribed sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus dynamically adjusts the settable range of image sizes for OSD superimposition based on the detected communication protocol. When a protocol is identified, the system changes the acceptable image size range to match that protocol's requirements, enabling proper OSD superimposition across different protocols without fixed constraints
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of image size range based on the communication protocol being used. By detecting which protocol is active and adjusting the corresponding image size parameters, the apparatus ensures OSD can be properly superimposed regardless of which protocol is employed
2Area of stationary object
If the OSD is superimposed on an image with low resolution, then the image area coverage is improved, but the visibility and usability of the image deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines the appropriate image size range for OSD superimposition based on the communication protocol and resolution characteristics. This dynamic adjustment ensures that OSD is placed in appropriate areas that maintain both coverage and image usability across different resolution levels

AI summary
An image processing apparatus capable of mutually communicating with an external apparatus via a network includes a first generation unit, a second generation unit, a determination unit, a setting unit, a first control unit, and a transmission unit. The first generation unit generates a first image in a predetermined image size. The second generation unit generates a second image to be superimposed on the first image. The determination unit determines a protocol type of a control command for controlling the first generation unit and the second generation unit, wherein the control command is received via the network. The setting unit sets an image size of the first image. The first control unit changes a settable range of the image size set by the setting unit according to a determination result of the determination unit. The transmission unit transmits the first image via the network.
