Movie Recording Progress Indicator Using Segmented Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing movie recording techniques fail to provide clear progress indication during the recording of multiple movies, leading to potential premature stops and incomplete application of effects, resulting in low-quality movies.
Innovation Solution
A display control system that measures elapsed time and displays recorded and unrecorded movie sections differently, indicating progress through color changes, ensuring users can recognize recording status and preventing premature stops.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple movies are recorded in a series without progress indication, then a set of movies can be obtained, but the user cannot identify the recording progress among the plurality of movies
Solution Approach 1:
The display indicator is segmented into multiple sections, with each section corresponding to one movie in the set. This segmentation allows the user to visually track the recording progress of each individual movie within the series, providing clear progress information without requiring a complex overall display system.
Solution Approach 2:
The display indicator uses color changes to represent different recording states. Each section of the indicator changes color based on the recording status (e.g., unrecorded, recording, completed), providing intuitive visual feedback about progress while maintaining a simple display structure.
2Ease of operation
If movie recording is stopped by the same operation as start instruction, then recording can be ended quickly, but the recording may be casually stopped resulting in incomplete effect application
Solution Approach 1:
The function of the operation unit dynamically changes based on the current recording state. When a movie is being recorded, the operation unit serves as a recording end instruction unit. When recording is not active, the same operation unit serves as a recording start instruction unit. This dynamic functionality provides ease of operation while preventing accidental stops.
Solution Approach 2:
The display indicator provides continuous feedback about the recording state to the user. By clearly showing which movies have been recorded and which are pending, the feedback mechanism helps users make informed decisions about when to start or end recording, reducing the likelihood of casual or erroneous recording stops.
3Stability of the object's composition
If recording time is preset for each movie, then a consistent set of movies can be created, but the user cannot identify individual movie recording status within the series
Solution Approach 1:
The display indicator is divided into multiple sections, with each section corresponding to one movie in the set. This segmentation allows the user to see both the individual status of each movie and the overall progress of the series, maintaining consistency while providing detailed status information.
Solution Approach 2:
Different colors are used to indicate different recording statuses for each movie section. This color-coding system allows the user to quickly understand the status of each individual movie within the set while maintaining the preset recording time structure.

AI summary
A control apparatus includes a measuring unit configured to measure an elapsed time after start of recording movie, a set movie creation unit configured to create a set of movies from a plurality of movies, a display control unit configured to perform control so as to display a plurality of sections respectively corresponding to the set of movies, and to display a section corresponding to a recorded movie in a first display appearance, and to display a section corresponding to a not-recorded movie in a second display appearance, wherein the display control unit is further configured to perform control to display, a portion indicating a rate of an elapsed time in the first display appearance, and a remaining portion in the second display appearance.
