Mobile Image Processing for Continuous Moving Target Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems are limited to capturing images of moving targets only where fixed cameras are present, preventing continuous image acquisition in regions without fixed cameras.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that utilizes mobile terminals to capture images, constructs a single image from these images, and transmits it to user terminals, while associating attribute values and right holder identifiers, enabling continuous image acquisition and management of image rights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fixed cameras are used to capture images of moving targets, then image capture is possible in locations where fixed cameras are installed, but continuous image acquisition cannot be achieved in regions without fixed cameras
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from static fixed cameras to dynamic mobile terminals that can move freely throughout the monitoring region. Mobile terminals continuously update their position information and capture images dynamically, enabling continuous tracking of moving targets across the entire region rather than being limited to fixed camera locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes ordinary mobile terminals serve dual purposes: their original communication functions plus image capture and transmission functions. This multi-functionality allows any mobile terminal in the region to contribute to target monitoring, expanding coverage beyond dedicated fixed camera installations.
2Reliability
If multiple region images from mobile terminals are combined to create a single provision image, then continuous image acquisition is enabled, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that receives position information and region images from multiple mobile terminals, performs the combining and construction of provision images, and transmits the final image to user terminals. This centralizes the complex processing task, preventing it from overwhelming individual mobile terminals or user devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the overall image processing task into separate stages: mobile terminals perform simple image capture and position reporting, the server performs the complex combining and construction of provision images, and user terminals receive and display the final result. This segmentation distributes complexity appropriately across different system components.

AI summary
In the related art, it is not possible to acquire images of a moving target captured continuously. An information processing device 1 including the following is capable of acquiring images of a moving target captured continuously: a position reception part 122 that sequentially receives a plurality of pieces of position information at different times for a moving target terminal 4; an image acquisition part 132 that acquires images from a mobile terminal 2 obtained by capturing regions corresponding to the plurality of pieces of position information received by the position reception part 122; and an image transmission part 141 that transmits a single image based on the images acquired by the image acquisition part 132.
