Image Processing Apparatus Transfer Target Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems for video cameras often transfer unsuccessful images, such as shaken or defocused ones, automatically, and require a transition to REC review display for image data transfer designation, making it difficult to set desired image data as the transfer target.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that includes a recording unit, an operation unit for instructing data transfer, a control unit to set previously recorded data as the transfer target if a predetermined time has not elapsed since recording stopped, and current data as the target if the time has elapsed, and a communication unit to transfer the designated data to an external device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic transfer function is implemented, then transfer operation is simplified, but unsuccessful images are transferred against photographer's will
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user about which images will be transferred and allows confirmation before execution. The control unit determines transfer targets based on recording timing and presents this information to the user, enabling the user to verify and confirm the transfer operation, thus preventing unwanted transfer of unsuccessful images while maintaining ease of operation.
2Reliability
If transfer designation requires REC review display transition, then transfer accuracy is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs preliminary determination of transfer targets based on recording timing information before the user needs to designate transfer. By pre-identifying which images were successfully recorded based on timing data, the system eliminates the need for users to navigate to REC review display and manually check images, thus maintaining transfer accuracy while simplifying the operation to a single confirmation step.
3Reliability
If transfer designation requires REC review display transition, then unsuccessful images are prevented from transfer, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs preliminary determination of transfer targets based on recording timing information before the user needs to designate transfer. By pre-identifying which images were successfully recorded based on timing data, the system eliminates the need for users to navigate to REC review display and manually check images, thus maintaining transfer accuracy while simplifying the operation to a single confirmation step.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs the work of identifying successful images based on recording timing information without requiring user intervention. The control unit self-determines which images should be transferred by analyzing timing data, and the user only needs to confirm the pre-selected transfer targets, significantly reducing the time required compared to manual image-by-image verification.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus that transfers recorded image data includes a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that in a case where transfer of image data is instructed during recording of the image data, previously recorded image data is set as a transfer target when a predetermined period of time has not elapsed after recording of the previously recorded image data is stopped, and image data currently being recorded is set as the transfer target when the predetermined period of time has elapsed.
