Video Recording Control Unit with Dynamic Screen Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing moving image recording apparatuses require a predetermined time to stop recording, leading to delays and missed opportunities for image capture, as users cannot quickly restart recording after interrupting it, especially when attempting to capture critical moments like a baseball batter's swing.
Innovation Solution
A recording control apparatus that automatically stops moving image recording after a predetermined time and shifts to a standby screen without displaying a confirmation screen when a stop instruction is issued before the set time, allowing for immediate restart of image capture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a confirmation screen is displayed after recording a moving image for a predetermined time, then the user can review and manage recorded images, but the next image capturing cannot be quickly started and a chance of image capturing is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on the recording duration. When recording exceeds a predetermined time threshold, the confirmation screen is displayed for user review. When recording is interrupted before the threshold, the system immediately returns to the standby screen without displaying the confirmation screen, enabling quick restart of recording.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameter of screen display based on the recording time parameter. By monitoring whether the recording time has reached the predetermined threshold, the system selectively displays or skips the confirmation screen, optimizing the balance between user management needs and capturing speed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the recording of moving image is stopped before a predetermined time elapses, then the user can capture a different scene, but the confirmation screen prevents quick restart of recording
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically responds to user interruption by detecting when recording is stopped before the predetermined time elapses. In this case, it skips the confirmation screen display and directly returns to the standby screen, maintaining high productivity for capturing different scenes while still allowing adaptability when the full recording time is reached.
3Ease of operation
If a confirmation screen is always displayed after recording, then the user can manage recorded images, but the device complexity increases due to additional screen management
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the recording time parameter as a conditional trigger. When the predetermined time is reached, the confirmation screen is displayed for comprehensive image management. When recording is interrupted before this threshold, the system simplifies the flow by skipping the confirmation screen entirely, reducing the effective complexity while maintaining full management capability when needed.

AI summary
A recording control apparatus includes a recording unit to record a moving image, a stop instruction unit to instruct the recording unit to stop, and a control unit. Based on that the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for a predetermined time, the control unit performs control to automatically stop recording of a moving image and display a receiving screen that receives an instruction for a moving image recorded most recently on a display. When a stop instruction is issued from the stop instruction unit before the recording of the moving image by the recording unit continues for the predetermined time, the control unit performs control to stop the recording of the moving image and shift to a recording standby screen without displaying the receiving screen on the display.
