IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056596 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an imaging apparatus that includes an operation member, a setting unit, a switching unit, and a control unit. The operation member can be set to an enabled or disabled state. The switching unit can switch the image capturing mode to a medical mode. The control unit allows the setting unit to set the operation member to the enabled or disabled state when the image capturing mode is not the medical mode. However, when the image capturing mode is the medical mode, the control unit sets the operation member to the enabled state.

  • The imaging apparatus has an operation member that can be enabled or disabled.
  • The setting unit can set the operation member to the enabled or disabled state.
  • The switching unit can switch the image capturing mode to a medical mode.
  • The control unit allows the setting unit to set the operation member to the enabled or disabled state when the image capturing mode is not the medical mode.
  • When the image capturing mode is the medical mode, the control unit sets the operation member to the enabled state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical imaging devices
  • Diagnostic imaging equipment
  • Surgical imaging systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that the operation member is only enabled in the medical mode, preventing accidental or unauthorized use in other modes.
  • Provides a clear distinction between medical and non-medical modes, enhancing safety and preventing errors.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety by restricting the use of the operation member to the medical mode.
  • Prevents accidental or unauthorized use of the operation member in non-medical modes.
  • Simplifies operation by automatically enabling the operation member in the medical mode.


Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging apparatus includes an operation member, a setting unit configured to set the operation member to an enabled state or a disabled state a switching unit configured to switch an image capturing mode to a medical mode, and a control unit configured to perform, in a case where the image capturing mode is not the medical mode, control to allow the setting unit to set the operation member to the enabled state or the disabled state, and perform, in a case where the image capturing mode is the medical mode, control to set the operation member to the enabled state.
