Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging apparatuses require significant user input and operation to change the extraction range within the angle of view while recording video, which can be cumbersome and prone to manual errors leading to distorted images.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus with an image sensor, a detector for motion, and a processor that captures a reference video, sets and moves an extraction range within the angle of view, and records the extraction video, facilitating automatic movement and adjustment of the extraction range based on detected motion, allowing for reduced user effort and improved image stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to change the extraction range position, then the extraction range can be adjusted, but user effort and operation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging apparatus automatically adjusts the extraction range position based on motion detection without requiring manual user input. The system detects housing motion and autonomously moves the extraction range to track the subject, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating complex manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automatic control system that uses motion detection (gyro sensor or acceleration sensor) to drive the extraction range movement. This substitutes the mechanical manual operation with an automated sensor-based control mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to change the extraction range position, then the extraction range can be adjusted, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The extraction range movement is performed continuously and automatically as the housing moves, without interruption for manual input. The system maintains continuous tracking of the subject through automatic extraction range adjustment, eliminating time loss associated with manual operation intervals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic adjustment without waiting for user input, making the adjustment process instantaneous and continuous. The imaging apparatus serves itself by autonomously responding to motion detection, eliminating the time delay between user intent and system response.
3Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to change the extraction range position, then the extraction range can be adjusted, but image distortion increases due to manual errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses motion detection feedback from the gyro sensor or acceleration sensor to automatically adjust the extraction range position. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures accurate tracking of subject motion without manual errors, maintaining high image quality and preventing distortion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated sensor-based control system that precisely tracks housing motion. This substitution eliminates human error in extraction range positioning, ensuring accurate image extraction and maintaining high manufacturing precision in terms of image quality.
