CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333673 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus for an image capturing apparatus that automatically captures and sells images to users. The control apparatus obtains demand information from users regarding their preferences for different compositions of subjects in images. Based on this information, the apparatus sets frequencies of adoption for different types of compositions and determines the composition to be used in capturing the subject.

  • The control apparatus is designed to control the operation of an image capturing apparatus.
  • The image capturing apparatus captures images through automatic shooting with variable compositions.
  • The images captured by the apparatus are intended to be sold to users.
  • The apparatus obtains demand information from users, indicating their preferences for different compositions of subjects in images.
  • The apparatus sets frequencies of adoption for different types of compositions based on the obtained demand information.
  • The apparatus determines the composition to be used in shooting the subject based on the frequencies of adoption set for different types of compositions.
  • The demand information is based on purchase information related to the user's purchase of images.

Potential Applications

  • Photography industry: This technology can be applied in the photography industry to automatically capture and sell images based on user preferences for compositions.
  • E-commerce platforms: E-commerce platforms that sell images can use this technology to offer personalized image options to users based on their preferences.
  • Advertising and marketing: Advertisers and marketers can utilize this technology to capture and sell images that align with the preferences of their target audience.

Problems Solved

  • User preferences: This technology addresses the challenge of understanding and meeting the diverse preferences of users when capturing and selling images.
  • Composition selection: The apparatus solves the problem of determining the most suitable composition for capturing a subject based on user demand information.
  • Efficiency: By automatically setting frequencies of adoption for different compositions, the apparatus optimizes the capturing process and improves efficiency in selling images.

Benefits

  • Personalization: Users can receive images that align with their specific preferences, enhancing their satisfaction and engagement.
  • Increased sales: By capturing and selling images based on user demand information, the apparatus can increase sales by offering more appealing and relevant content.
  • Efficiency and cost-effectiveness: The automatic selection of compositions based on frequencies of adoption streamlines the capturing process, reducing manual effort and costs.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus controls an operation of an image capturing apparatus that obtains, through automatic shooting with a variable composition, an image to be sold to a user. The apparatus obtains demand information indicating demand tendencies of a user in relation to compositions of a subject, sets, based on the obtained demand information, frequencies of adoption to shooting respectively for a plurality of types of compositions that have been set in advance, and determines a composition to be used in shooting of the subject by the image capturing apparatus based on the frequencies of adoption that have been set respectively for the plurality of types of compositions. The demand information is based on purchase information related to a purchase of images by the user.
