Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic apparatuses do not effectively utilize dynamic sensor information detected by sensors, such as acceleration, pressure, and location sensors, by overlaying this information onto captured images in real-time for display and storage.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus comprising a camera, sensor, memory, and processor that overlays dynamic sensor information onto captured images in real-time for display and storage as both still and video images, allowing users to visually confirm and store the information in a desired format.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic sensor information is overlaid on captured images in real-time, then the utilization of sensor data is improved and visual confirmation is enabled, but the device complexity increases due to integration of camera, sensor, processor, and memory systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional components (camera, sensor, processor, memory) into an integrated electronic apparatus where the processor coordinates all components to capture images, acquire sensor information, overlay the data, and store the composite output as a unified system, thereby improving sensor data utilization while managing complexity through functional integration
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus performs multiple functions within a single device: capturing images via camera, acquiring dynamic sensor information, overlaying sensor data on images in real-time, displaying the composite images, and storing them as both still and video images. This multi-functionality enables versatile sensor data utilization without requiring separate specialized devices
2Productivity
If real-time overlay processing is performed, then the productivity of information processing is improved, but the use of energy increases due to continuous operation of camera, sensor, and processor
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs continuous real-time overlay processing where the camera captures images, the sensor continuously acquires dynamic information, and the processor continuously overlays and displays the composite images without interruption. This continuous operation maximizes information processing productivity by eliminating idle periods between capture, processing, and display operations
