Solution Overview

Problem

Existing recorded image sharing systems lack convenience in allowing users to quickly find specific portions of continuously recorded images, as they require visual observation to locate desired segments.

Innovation Solution

A recorded image sharing system that detects predetermined triggers, such as user actions, voices, or environmental sounds, and displays corresponding images on an operator terminal, enabling quick access to desired recorded times.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If images are recorded continuously in a hands-free manner, then the wearable terminal can capture omnidirectional images continuously, but the user cannot quickly find the desired recorded portion among the recorded images

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous image capture capabilityVSAvoidtime to locate desired recorded portion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of trigger events (such as specific gestures, voices, or environmental sounds) during the continuous recording process. When a trigger is detected, the system pre-identifies and marks the corresponding recorded image segment, so that when the user wants to find a specific portion, the system can quickly retrieve and display it without requiring sequential playback through all recorded images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the wearable monitoring camera system records images continuously, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but the convenience of finding specific recorded portions is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous monitoring coverageVSAvoidease of finding desired recorded portion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism - a trigger detection and indexing system - that bridges the gap between continuous recording and easy retrieval. This intermediary layer automatically detects significant events during recording, creates indexes or markers for these events, and enables the user to access specific recorded portions through simple queries or triggers, thus maintaining both comprehensive coverage and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A recorded image sharing system that detects a predetermined trigger and displays, on a display unit of an operator terminal, a recorded image of a predetermined time including the detected predetermined trigger among recorded images is provided. The recorded image sharing system 1 shares a recorded image of a captured image captured by a wearable terminal 10 with a connected operator terminal 20. The recorded image sharing system 1 includes a recording module 201 that records captured images captured by the wearable terminal 10, a detecting unit 204 that detects a predetermined trigger, and a display control unit 206 that displays, on a display unit 24 of the operator terminal 20, a recorded image of a predetermined time including the detected predetermined trigger among the recorded images.
