Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image sensing technologies require manual operation, such as pressing a shutter button, which can disrupt natural facial expressions or motions, and do not allow for effortless imaging of suitable timing without subject awareness of camera timing.
Innovation Solution
An image sensing device and method that acquire environmental information, collect and recognize sounds, and automatically capture images when predetermined sounds and imaging conditions are met, eliminating the need for manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation (pressing shutter button) is used for imaging, then imaging timing can be controlled, but operation complexity increases and natural facial expressions are disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device automatically determines imaging timing by itself through sound recognition and environmental information analysis, eliminating the need for manual shutter button operation. The system serves itself by autonomously deciding when to capture images based on detected sounds and environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanical operation of pressing the shutter button is replaced by an automated system that uses sound collection, sound recognition, and environmental information processing to trigger imaging automatically, substituting manual mechanical control with automated sensing and decision-making.
2Ease of operation
If automated imaging is implemented without manual operation, then ease of operation improves, but reliability of imaging timing may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors environmental information and sound inputs, using this feedback to dynamically adjust and determine the optimal imaging timing. The sound recognition unit processes acoustic feedback, and the environmental information utilization unit incorporates real-time environmental data to reliably trigger imaging at appropriate moments.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging device performs preliminary sound collection and environmental information acquisition before triggering the actual imaging action. By preparing and analyzing sound and environmental data in advance, the system ensures that imaging occurs at the most suitable timing while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Extent of automation
If sound recognition and environmental information processing are added, then automation improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device integrates multiple functions including sound collection, sound recognition, environmental information sensing, and imaging control into a single unified system. This multi-functionality allows the device to perform automated imaging determination while consolidating components rather than adding separate dedicated systems for each function.

AI summary
An image sensing device collects the speech and image of a person to be sensed and carries out recognition of the collected speech. When the image sensing device determines as the recognition result that the speech represents a predetermined sentence, the image sensing device performs recognition on an acquired image. When the image sensing device determines as a recognition result that the image is a human face showing a predetermined facial expression, the image sensing device records the image and audio information.
