Imaging Apparatus Minimizing Repetitive Moving Image Recording
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging apparatuses face issues with repetitive recording of similar moving image data, leading to viewer disinterest due to repetitive similar scenes or images.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus that includes an imaging pickup unit, a still image generator, a moving image generator, and a recorder, controlled by a controller that determines whether to record moving image data based on predetermined conditions such as scene mode, time elapsed, audio level, and motion, to avoid repetitive recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If moving image data is continuously recorded and connected in existing moving image files, then the quantity of recorded content increases, but repetitive similar scenes are recorded causing viewer disinterest
Solution Approach 1:
The controller compares newly captured moving image data with previously recorded data to detect similarity, using this feedback information to决定是否记录新数据，从而避免重复场景的累积
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the recording parameter (whether to record or not) based on the similarity assessment between current and previous moving image data, dynamically adjusting recording behavior to prevent repetitive content
2Duration of action of moving object
If similar moving images are repetitively captured and recorded, then the duration of recorded content increases, but viewer interest is lost due to repetition
Solution Approach 1:
The controller continuously monitors and compares moving image data to detect repetitive patterns, using this feedback to dynamically adjust recording decisions and prevent prolonged duration of repetitive content
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial recording by selectively recording only non-repetitive portions of moving image data, rather than recording all captured content, thus reducing the duration of repetitive content while maintaining meaningful content duration

AI summary
A controller determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied and, in response to a recording instruction, controls a recorder to record still image data on a recording medium, and in a case that the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied, the controller controls the recorder not to record the moving image data on the recording medium.
