INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18270993 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can automatically start, continue, and stop recording based on events detected in images captured by an imaging apparatus.

  • The acquisition unit acquires information indicating an event detected in an image.
  • The determination unit decides when to start, continue, and stop recording based on the detection of events within specific time periods.
  • The recording control unit manages the recording process based on the decisions made by the determination unit.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in security systems, surveillance cameras, and action cameras to automatically capture important events without the need for manual intervention.

Problems Solved

This technology eliminates the need for constant monitoring and manual recording, ensuring that important events are captured without human error or oversight.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in recording important events, increased reliability in capturing crucial moments, and reduced workload for users who would otherwise need to monitor and record events manually.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Enhancing security systems with automated event-based recording
  • Improving surveillance cameras for more effective monitoring
  • Enhancing action cameras for capturing key moments during activities

Unanswered Questions

How does the determination unit differentiate between different types of events?

What is the impact of this technology on privacy concerns related to continuous recording?

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus () includes: an acquisition unit () that acquires information indicating an event detected based on an image captured by an imaging apparatus (); a determination unit () that determines to start recording of the image when the event is detected at a first point of time, to continue the recording when the event is continuously detected within a first period from the first point of time, and to stop the recording when the event is continuously detected in a case of exceeding the first period from the first point of time; and a recording control unit () that controls a start and an end of the recording based on a result determined by the determination unit.
