Imaging Device Touch Control With Gyro Movement Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging devices with touch panels often inadvertently capture images due to accidental touches or object contact, leading to unnecessary imaging operations and missed photo opportunities due to delayed capture timing.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device with a touch input section, a detecting section to monitor movement, and a control section that prohibits imaging operations during detected movement and allows imaging only when no movement is detected, ensuring intentional capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If imaging operation is delayed for a predetermined amount of time from touch operation to suppress image blurring, then image blurring is reduced, but photo opportunity is missed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the imaging timing adaptive rather than fixed. The control section dynamically adjusts whether to perform immediate imaging or delayed imaging based on real-time detection of device movement. When movement is detected, imaging is delayed to avoid blurring; when no movement is detected, immediate imaging captures the moment without loss. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between preventing blur and capturing photo opportunities.
2Productivity
If imaging operation is performed on accidental touch, then unnecessary imaging operation occurs, but user control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces movement detection as an intermediary condition between touch input and imaging execution. The detecting section monitors device movement, and the control section uses this information to mediate whether imaging should occur. This intermediary mechanism filters out accidental touches (which typically occur when the device is stationary or being handled) while allowing intentional captures (where the user holds the device steady). This resolves the contradiction by adding a smart discrimination layer that improves efficiency without reducing user control.

AI summary
The present invention prevents unnecessary imaging operations when imaging is not required to be performed. In the present invention, a display panel includes a touch panel provided on the top surface thereof. An image sensor of an imaging section captures an image. A gyro sensor detects the movement of an imaging device. When the movement of the imaging device is detected by the gyro sensor, a control section prohibits an imaging operation by the imaging section in response to a touch operation performed on the touch panel. Conversely, when the movement of the imaging device is not detected by the gyro sensor, the control section performs an imaging operation by the imaging section in response to a touch operation on the touch panel.
