DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18058196 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display control apparatus that allows for the superimposed recording of a first display element on a moving image captured by an image capturing unit. After setting the superimposed recording, the control unit displays the moving image with the first display element, and then displays the moving image without the superimposed element.

  • The display control apparatus includes a memory and at least one processor.
  • The setting unit is responsible for making a superimposed recording setting for the first display element.
  • The control unit performs the control to display the moving image with the superimposed first display element.
  • After the superimposed recording setting is completed, the control unit displays the moving image without the first display element.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video recording devices that allow for the superimposed recording of additional information or graphics on the captured video.
  • Augmented reality applications where virtual elements can be added to real-time video footage.
  • Sports broadcasting where graphics or statistics can be overlaid on live video feeds.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for the superimposed recording of additional elements on moving images without permanently altering the original footage.
  • Provides flexibility in displaying the moving image with or without the superimposed elements.
  • Simplifies the process of adding and removing display elements on captured video.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhances the visual experience by adding informative or entertaining elements to moving images.
  • Provides versatility in displaying the moving image with or without the superimposed elements.
  • Preserves the original footage by allowing the removal of superimposed elements after recording.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display control apparatus includes a memory and at least one processor which function as a setting unit configured to make a superimposed recording setting for recording a first display element superimposed on a moving image captured by an image capturing unit, and a control unit configured to perform control to display the first display element superimposed on the moving image captured by the image capturing unit in the superimposed recording setting made by the setting unit, and to display the moving image captured by the image capturing unit without superimposing the first display element on the moving image after completion of the superimposed recording setting made by the setting unit.
