Video Recording Apparatus Automatic Data Transfer Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video camera systems lack operability in automatically transferring video data during recording, requiring manual intervention and inefficient processes for selecting and transferring captured images.
Innovation Solution
A recording apparatus with a communication unit, input unit, and control unit that automatically transfers recorded video data to an external apparatus upon completion of a predetermined recording unit, allowing for immediate and easy processing of captured video data without the need for manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic transfer is implemented during recording, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects when recording ends and initiates transfer without user intervention. The control unit monitors recording status and autonomously triggers the transfer process, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual operation for each transfer action.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares transfer conditions in advance by monitoring recording status and having transfer protocols ready. When recording ends, the transfer process is already configured and can execute immediately, reducing delays between recording completion and data transfer initiation.
2Reliability
If manual selection interface is provided, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines which recorded segments need transfer and executes the transfer without requiring users to manually select files. The control unit autonomously manages the transfer queue and execution, reducing operational steps while maintaining transfer reliability through automated verification protocols.
3Loss of time
If transfer occurs during recording, then loss of time is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transfer process begins immediately upon recording completion without interruption or waiting period. The system maintains continuous operation by seamlessly transitioning from recording mode to transfer mode, eliminating idle time and ensuring uninterrupted data flow to external devices.
Solution Approach 2:
Transfer protocols and communication channels are prepared in advance during recording. When recording ends, the transfer is already configured and can execute immediately, minimizing the time lag between recording completion and data transfer initiation.

AI summary
A recording apparatus comprises a recording unit configured to record a moving image to a recording medium; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus; an input unit configured to accept a predetermined instruction; and a control unit configured to perform control such that, in a case where the predetermined instruction is accepted by the input unit during recording of a moving image by the recording unit, a moving image portion for which recording ended is automatically transferred to the external apparatus in accordance with ending of recording of a predetermined unit of the moving image.
