Imaging Device Control Circuit Preventing Accidental Wireless Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing technologies for operating imaging devices via wireless communication with electronic devices face challenges in preventing unintended malfunctions due to accidental operation of incorrect operation members or objects, especially when the devices are at a distance or separated, leading to activation of unintended functions.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a system that uses wireless communication to connect imaging devices with information processing devices, which includes a control mechanism to invalidate user operations on specific operation members or objects, preventing accidental activation of unintended functions by determining the connection status and engaging appropriate invalidation modes based on user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless communication is used to operate imaging device from distance, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to accidental operation of incorrect operation members
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying operation member images on the electronic device screen that correspond to physical operation members on the imaging device. When a physical operation member is operated, the corresponding displayed operation member image is also operated, providing visual confirmation to the user that the correct operation was registered, thereby preventing accidental operations while maintaining ease of remote operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a visual copy of the imaging device's operation members as displayable images on the electronic device screen. This copying allows the user to see and interact with virtual representations of the physical operation members, ensuring that operations intended for the imaging device are correctly registered and preventing accidental activation of unrelated functions on the electronic device
2Ease of operation
If operation members are made accessible during imaging operation, then ease of operation is improved, but harmful factors increase due to accidental touching of wrong operation members
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the operation interface by separating operation members into two distinct categories: those displayed and operable during imaging operations, and those hidden or disabled. By selectively displaying only relevant operation member images and hiding others, the system reduces the risk of accidental touching while maintaining ease of access to necessary functions
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different accessibility qualities to different operation members based on the current operation context. During imaging operations, certain operation members are made accessible and displayed, while others are hidden or disabled. This localized quality control ensures that only appropriate operations are available at any given time, preventing harmful accidental operations while maintaining ease of use for intended functions

AI summary
An information acquiring device includes an information acquiring control circuit; or an information processing device includes an information processing circuit. The circuit prevents an operation of the information processing device and/or an information acquiring device based on the presence of a connection between the information acquiring device and the information processing device.
