Imaging User Attribution Using Pre-Set Authentication Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for specifying and recording a photographer in an image deteriorate the convenience of imaging by requiring authentication during the imaging process.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus that records photographer information by setting usage conditions in advance, allowing association of images with user information without real-time authentication, using GPS, time, and image recognition to ensure authenticity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time authentication is performed during imaging, then photographer authenticity is ensured, but imaging convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication in advance by registering usage conditions (time, location, device information) before imaging occurs. During actual imaging, the system only checks whether current conditions match the registered conditions, eliminating the need for real-time authentication and thereby maintaining both security and convenience
2Ease of operation
If usage conditions are set in advance without real-time authentication, then imaging convenience is improved, but photographer verification reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors current usage conditions (time, GPS location, device identifiers) and compares them against the registered usage conditions. This feedback mechanism ensures that even without real-time authentication, the system can verify whether the imaging operation conforms to the authorized photographer's typical usage patterns, thereby maintaining verification reliability

AI summary
An obtaining means (600) obtains authentication information. A specification means (450) specifies a user of the imaging apparatus based on the authentication information. A setting means (410) sets a first usage condition. A first control means (430) performs control such that, in a case where the imaging apparatus performs imaging in a state where a user is specified, an imaged image obtained by the imaging and information on the user are recorded in association with each other, and performs control such that, in a case where the imaging apparatus performs imaging in a state where a user is not specified and in a state where the first usage condition is satisfied, the imaged image obtained by the imaging and information on a user corresponding to the first usage condition are recorded in association with each other.
