Imaging Apparatus Temporary Attribute Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging apparatuses with face recognition technologies face usability issues due to difficulty in recognizing personal information when it is displayed superimposed on images, especially when multiple pieces of information are displayed, degrading user convenience in terms of visibility and image composition recognition.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus with a storage unit for attribute information, an imaging unit for capturing images, and a display unit that temporarily displays attribute information, allowing users to recognize personal information and then clearly view the subject image by stopping the display after a predetermined time, thereby improving user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If personal information is displayed superimposed on captured image, then user can recognize personal information, but user convenience deteriorates due to difficulty in identifying original subject image
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit displays personal information only during a predetermined time period after image capture, then stops displaying. This periodic display approach allows users to view personal information when needed (immediately after capture) while maintaining clear visibility of the subject image during composition review and other operations, thus resolving the contradiction between information visibility and ease of operation
2Quantity of substance
If multiple pieces of personal information are displayed concurrently, then comprehensive information is provided, but recognition of personal information becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit segments the display of multiple personal information items by showing them sequentially or in a structured layout during the predetermined time period, rather than all at once in an overlapping manner. This segmentation allows users to clearly recognize each piece of information while still providing comprehensive personal information about the detected person
Data Source
AI summary
An imaging apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store attribute information about a person, an imaging unit configured to capture a subject to generate image data, and a display unit configured to display attribute information of a person included in an image represented by the image data generated by the imaging unit. The display unit stops displaying of the attribute information after a predetermined time elapses since a start of the displaying of the attribute information.
