Terminal Apparatus Image Display with Location and Posture Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display technologies fail to suitably display captured images when specific conditions such as location and posture are not met, limiting the ability to compare past and current situations effectively.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device equipped with a display unit, a controller, and a storage unit that acquires and stores target images along with feature information like location and posture, allowing the display unit to show the target image when the detected conditions match the stored features, enabling accurate comparison with the current state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display unit displays captured images without condition verification, then the display operation is simple and fast, but the displayed image cannot be suitably displayed when predetermined conditions (location, posture) are not met
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of location and posture conditions before displaying the captured image. The controller checks whether the terminal is at the designated location and in the correct posture, and only if these conditions are satisfied does it proceed to display the image on the display unit. This preliminary action ensures image suitability while maintaining a relatively simple display control mechanism.
2Measurement precision
If the system stores feature information and verifies conditions before display, then the accuracy of image comparison between past and current states is improved, but the time required for image display is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The location information and posture information are captured and stored in advance along with the captured image. When display is required, the controller quickly verifies whether the current location and posture match the stored feature information, and only if they do, the image is displayed. This preliminary storage of feature information enables fast verification and display without significant time loss.
3Ease of operation
If the display unit always displays captured images regardless of location and posture conditions, then the operation is simple and responsive, but the utility for comparing past and current situations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The image display function is made dynamic by introducing condition-based control. The controller dynamically determines whether to display the captured image based on real-time verification of location and posture conditions against stored feature information. When conditions are satisfied, the image is displayed; when not satisfied, the display is inhibited. This dynamic control maintains operational simplicity while significantly enhancing adaptability and utility for situation comparison.

AI summary
A terminal device is provided with an image capturing unit, a display unit, a controller, and a storage unit. The controller is provided with an image capture controlling unit, a creating unit, a storage controlling unit, and a display controlling unit. The image capture controlling unit causes the image capturing unit to perform image capture. The creating unit creates feature information indicating a feature of an environment of the terminal device at a target timing when the image capturing unit performs image capture of a target image. The storage controlling unit stores the captured target image and the created feature information in association with each other in the storage unit. The display controlling unit causes the display unit to display the target image stored in the storage unit in association with the feature information indicating the feature, in a specific case where the feature is detected after the target image and the feature information have been stored in the storage unit.
