==IMAGING ELEMENT WITH OUTPUT CIRCUIT THAT OUTPUTS TO FIRST AND SECOND CIRCUITS, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE DATA OUTPUT METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461189 titled 'IMAGING ELEMENT WITH OUTPUT CIRCUIT THAT OUTPUTS TO FIRST AND SECOND CIRCUITS, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE DATA OUTPUT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an imaging element that includes a processing circuit, a memory, and an output circuit. The processing circuit converts captured image data from analog to digital. The memory stores the converted image data. The output circuit outputs image data to an exterior of the imaging element. The output circuit includes two output lines, with different output frame rates or output data amounts.

* The imaging element performs analog/digital conversion on captured image data.
* The converted image data is stored in a memory.
* The output circuit outputs image data to an exterior of the imaging element.
* The output circuit includes two output lines with different output frame rates or output data amounts.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Digital cameras and camcorders
* Surveillance systems
* Medical imaging devices
* Industrial inspection systems

Problems solved by this technology:
* Efficient conversion of analog image data to digital format
* Storage of captured image data
* Flexible output options with different frame rates or data amounts

Benefits of this technology:
* Improved image quality through analog/digital conversion
* Efficient storage of image data
* Versatile output options for different applications


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An imaging element includes: a processing circuit that performs analog/digital conversion on captured image data; a memory that is capable of storing the captured image data obtained as a result of performing the analog/digital conversion by the processing circuit; and an output circuit that outputs output image data based on the captured image data to an exterior of the imaging element, wherein the output circuit includes a first output line and a second output line, the first output line is connected to a first signal processing circuit disposed at the exterior, the second output line is connected to a second signal processing circuit disposed at the exterior, and at least one of an output frame rate or an output data amount of the output image data is different between the first output line and the second output line.
