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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056638 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an imaging apparatus that includes a display control unit and a control unit. The display control unit is responsible for displaying a live image captured by the imaging unit and medical information on a display unit. The control unit associates image data obtained by the imaging unit and the medical information when the shutter button is fully pressed.

  • The imaging apparatus can display a live image and medical information simultaneously.
  • The apparatus can also display imaging parameters related to image capturing along with the live image.
  • The display control unit can switch between displaying medical information and displaying imaging parameters based on user operations.
  • The switch between displays can be triggered by a full press operation on the shutter button.
  • The display control unit can also switch to displaying medical information with a half press operation on the shutter button.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical imaging devices that provide real-time display of live images and relevant medical information.
  • Surgical or diagnostic equipment that allows healthcare professionals to view imaging parameters alongside live images.
  • Training tools for medical students to learn about image capturing and associated medical information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of displaying medical information and imaging parameters on a single display unit.
  • Allows for quick switching between different display modes based on user preferences or requirements.
  • Enhances the usability and efficiency of imaging apparatus in medical settings.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved visualization and understanding of medical images by displaying relevant information alongside live images.
  • Streamlined workflow for healthcare professionals by eliminating the need for separate displays or devices for medical information and imaging parameters.
  • Enhanced training and educational opportunities in the field of medical imaging.


Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging apparatus includes a display control unit configured to perform control to display, on a display unit, a live image captured by the imaging unit and medical information, and a control unit configured to associate image data obtained by the imaging unit and the medical information in accordance with a full press operation on a shutter button, wherein the display control unit performs control, in accordance with a predetermined user operation, to switch between first display of displaying the medical information together with a live image and second display of displaying an imaging parameter related to image capturing together with a live image, and wherein the display control unit performs control, in accordance with a half press operation on the shutter button different from the predetermined user operation, to switch display to the first display.
