Image Sensing Apparatus Multi-Device Capture Status Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In large group events, it is difficult for users to determine if all participants have been captured in images due to multiple users and devices capturing the same individuals, leading to incomplete image capture status reporting.
Innovation Solution
An image sensing apparatus capable of communicating with external devices to share and compare identification data for image capture status, using a face recognition unit to generate and compare identification data across devices, and display the capture status of each object.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If image capture count is displayed for each image capture device, then the user can grasp the capture status from individual devices, but the user cannot grasp the overall capture status across multiple devices leading to incomplete information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges image capture status information from multiple image capture devices by having them communicate with each other. Each device transmits its captured object data to other devices, and the determination unit integrates this information to display a comprehensive capture status that reflects all devices' activities, thus preventing information loss in multi-device scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The image capture status display system is designed to function universally across multiple devices by implementing a communication mechanism where each device can both send and receive capture status information. This multi-functional approach allows the system to adapt to any number of devices while maintaining accurate overall status tracking
2Productivity
If multiple users operate multiple image capture devices, then more objects can be captured, but it becomes difficult to track whether all objects have been captured by anyone
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and displaying the capture status of each object across all devices. When an object is captured by any device, this information is transmitted to other devices and reflected in the overall status display, providing real-time feedback to users about capture progress and enabling them to identify which objects remain uncaptured
Solution Approach 2:
The communication unit acts as an intermediary that mediates information exchange between multiple image capture devices. It transmits capture status data between devices and enables the determination unit to aggregate this information, serving as a mediator that connects individual device operations to the overall capture status visualization

AI summary
An image sensing apparatus that is capable of communicating with an external apparatus, comprising: an image sensing unit configured to sense an object and generate image data; an identification data generation unit configured to generate, from the image data, identification data for identifying a feature of the object; a storage unit configured to store the identification data; a display unit configured to display the image data; a communication unit configured to receive identification data for identifying a feature of an object captured by another image sensing apparatus during communication with the other image sensing apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine the image capture status of each object based on the identification data received by the communication unit; and a control unit configured to control the display unit to identifiably display the image capture status of each object determined by the determination unit.
