Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In events like sports days, securing a good imaging position and handling equipment can be challenging, leading to suboptimal captured images of subjects, such as children, due to their movement and the inefficiency of existing imaging support methods.
Innovation Solution
An imaging linking system that uses a server device and imaging devices to specify and transmit imaging instructions based on the position information of subjects and devices, allowing for the selection of the best device for imaging and distributing the imaging task among multiple devices to ensure optimal capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple imaging devices are used to capture subjects, then the quality and reliability of image capture is improved, but the device complexity and coordination difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between multiple imaging devices and the target subject. The server receives position information from the subject, determines which imaging devices have appropriate angle of view, and transmits imaging instructions to selected devices. This intermediary coordination reduces the complexity of direct peer-to-peer device coordination while maintaining high capture reliability through multiple device involvement.
2Reliability
If imaging instructions are transmitted to all available devices, then the probability of capturing the subject is improved, but the loss of time and processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server evaluates each imaging device's local conditions, specifically whether the target subject is within the device's angle of view, and selectively transmits imaging instructions only to devices that meet the capture criteria. This selective approach maintains high capture probability by targeting capable devices while reducing time loss by avoiding unnecessary communications with unsuitable devices.
3Ease of operation
If the system automatically selects imaging devices based on position information, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously receives position information from the target subject and uses this feedback to dynamically determine which imaging devices should receive instructions. The server calculates whether the subject is within each device's angle of view based on position data, and adjusts instruction transmission accordingly. This feedback mechanism enables automatic operation while managing precision requirements through continuous position updates.

AI summary
Provided are an imaging linking system, a server device, an imaging device, an imaging linking method, and a program that specify an imaging possible device and transmit an imaging instruction. An imaging linking system (1) is the imaging linking system (1) in which an imaging device (100A to 100E) images a target subject (X) that sends position information, in which a first processor is configured to specify an imaging possible device capable of performing imaging and transmit an imaging instruction (I) for the target subject to the imaging possible device based on the position information of the target subject, and a second processor is configured to receive the imaging instruction (I).
