Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple moving images with different imaging parameters are captured simultaneously, then the versatility and adaptability of the imaging device is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of managing image unity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device divides the imaging process into separate capture units, where each capture unit independently captures moving images with specific imaging parameters. This segmentation allows multiple moving images to be captured simultaneously without interfering with each other, while simplifying the management of different imaging parameters by isolating them in separate capture units.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension to the imaging process by capturing multiple moving images with different imaging parameters at different time points within a single imaging session. This allows the device to maintain image unity across time while accommodating various imaging parameters, effectively adding a time-based dimension to parameter management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If imaging parameters are changed during real-time imaging, then the adaptability to different scenes is improved, but the stability of image continuity and unity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device employs dynamic parameter adjustment where imaging parameters can be changed during real-time imaging based on scene requirements. The system dynamically switches between different imaging parameters while maintaining a coherent narrative through the use of multiple capture units and temporal sequencing, allowing adaptability without sacrificing overall image unity.
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs preliminary planning of the imaging sequence where different imaging parameters are pre-assigned to different capture units or time segments. This preliminary organization ensures that when parameters are changed during real-time imaging, the transitions are smooth and maintain image unity, as the overall structure has already been established.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual management of multiple moving images is required, then the precision of parameter control is improved, but the ease of operation and time efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device automatically manages multiple moving images by assigning different imaging parameters to different capture units and autonomously coordinating their operation. The system self-manages the complexity of multiple parameters without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining precise parameter control while significantly improving ease of operation and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically monitor and adjust imaging parameters across multiple capture units. This feedback system ensures precise parameter control by continuously optimizing settings based on real-time conditions, while eliminating the need for manual management and reducing operational complexity.

AI summary
Provided are an imaging device, an imaging instruction method, and an imaging instruction program capable of efficiently changing an imaging condition during capturing of a moving image. In one aspect of the present invention, an imaging device is an imaging device including an imaging unit that captures a moving image and a processor. The processor receives a first operation by a user of causing the imaging unit to start capturing of a first moving image based on a first imaging parameter and of issuing an instruction to set a second imaging parameter different from the first imaging parameter during the capturing of the first moving image, receives a second operation by the user of causing the imaging unit to start capturing of a second moving image based on the second imaging parameter after the reception of the first operation, causes the imaging unit to capture the first moving image until a third instruction to end the capturing of the first moving image is received in a case where the second operation is received, and causes the imaging unit to end the capturing of the first moving image in a case where the third instruction is received.
