Imaging Apparatus Map-Based Image Reproduction Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging apparatuses struggle to selectively reproduce image data from large datasets, often reproducing all data from a single location and taking a long time to reproduce desired scenes, making it difficult to reflect user intentions accurately.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus with a display controller, detecting unit, and reproduction unit that displays marks on a map, detects user input path information and speed, and reproduces images based on these factors, allowing for variable reproduction time and order of images based on tracing speed, enabling more precise selection and reproduction of desired data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all image data from a single imaging location is reproduced, then complete coverage of the location is achieved, but the reproduction time becomes excessively long and user intent cannot be accurately reflected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the reproduction process by dividing image data into different categories based on imaging conditions (time, location, type). The system selectively reproduces only relevant segments rather than all data, achieving both completeness of relevant content and reduction of unnecessary reproduction time
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial reproduction action by selecting and reproducing only the necessary portion of image data based on user intent detection, rather than reproducing all available data. This partial action achieves the desired completeness while avoiding excessive time consumption
2Reliability
If multiple image data are selected for reproduction, then more comprehensive coverage is achieved, but the reproduction time increases and desired scenes are not readily reproduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of reproduction parameters based on detected user intent. The system dynamically determines which images to reproduce and in what order, adapting the reproduction process to user needs rather than following a fixed pattern, thereby improving both completeness and efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes reproduction parameters (selection criteria, reproduction order, time allocation) based on detected user intent. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system achieves comprehensive scene coverage while maintaining high reproduction efficiency
3Ease of operation
If traditional date and time based selection is used, then chronological organization is achieved, but location-based selective reproduction and user intent reflection are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional selection system that can operate based on multiple criteria (date, time, location, user intent) rather than a single method. This universal approach maintains the simplicity of traditional methods while adding versatile control options to reflect diverse user intentions

AI summary
An apparatus includes a display controller, a detecting unit, and a reproduction unit. The display controller is configured to control a display unit to display marks corresponding to a plurality of images. The detecting unit is configured to detect selection information entered by a user. The selection information includes path information and additional information. The reproduction unit is configured to reproduce at least one of the plurality of images based on the additional information.
