Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems fail to effectively support police patrols by capturing images according to various situations, as they struggle to determine when and how to perform imaging, especially when a flying body is mounted on a patrol car, and it is difficult to identify the subject and adjust the imaging accordingly.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that control an imaging device based on vehicle information, including a control unit that manages an imaging device with an imaging function unit and an imaging range variable unit, allowing for adaptive imaging according to different situations by using vehicle and environment information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flying body is mounted on a patrol car to support imaging during patrol, then the mobility and coverage of imaging are improved, but it becomes difficult to determine when and how to perform imaging according to various situations
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device automatically determines whether to perform imaging based on vehicle information such as speed and location, without requiring manual operator judgment. The system serves itself by using sensor data to trigger imaging actions autonomously
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit continuously receives feedback from vehicle sensors (speed, location, acceleration) and adjusts imaging decisions based on this real-time information, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to changing patrol conditions
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual control of imaging is used during patrol, then flexibility in adjusting imaging parameters is improved, but the complexity of operation and difficulty of identifying imaging subjects increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control with an automated control system that uses vehicle sensor data to determine imaging parameters. The control unit processes vehicle information and automatically adjusts imaging without requiring manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit acts as an intermediary between vehicle sensors and the imaging device, translating vehicle information into appropriate imaging actions. This intermediary layer simplifies the system by centralizing the decision-making logic

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and information processing method of more easily capturing image in accordance with more various situations. An imaging device including an imaging function unit and an imaging range variable unit is controlled on the basis of vehicle information that is information regarding a vehicle. For example, on the basis of vehicle information obtained in a patrol car, such as vehicle location and position information, vehicle speed information, vehicle operation information, or vehicle attached equipment information, imaging of a subject by the imaging device provided to a flying body and flight by the flying body are controlled. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, a communication apparatus, an electronic device, an information processing method, or the like.
