ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18488173 titled 'ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an illumination apparatus connected to an image pickup apparatus that emits illumination light and controls the light emission based on custom light emitting conditions corresponding to custom imaging conditions set by the user.

  • The illumination apparatus is connected to an image pickup apparatus.
  • It emits illumination light and controls the light emission based on custom light emitting conditions.
  • The custom light emitting conditions correspond to custom imaging conditions set by the user.
  • The custom imaging conditions are read from memory and used to adjust the light emission.

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in various fields such as photography, videography, medical imaging, and industrial inspection where customized lighting conditions are required for optimal image capture.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of having to manually adjust lighting conditions every time a custom imaging condition is selected, saving time and ensuring consistent results in image capture.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, increased efficiency in capturing images under different conditions, and user-friendly customization options for lighting settings.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include camera systems, medical imaging devices, industrial inspection equipment, and any other devices that require customized lighting conditions for image capture.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing illumination systems that are manually adjusted for different imaging conditions, but none specifically tailored to automatically adjust based on custom user settings.

Unanswered Questions

How does the illumination apparatus communicate with the image pickup apparatus?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific communication method used between the illumination apparatus and the image pickup apparatus.

What types of custom imaging conditions can be set by the user?

The abstract mentions custom imaging conditions set by the user, but does not specify the range or types of conditions that can be customized.


Original Abstract Submitted

An illumination apparatus is communicatively connected to an image pickup apparatus and configured to emit illumination light. The illumination apparatus performs light emission control of the illumination light under the custom light emitting condition by reading the custom light emitting condition corresponding to a custom imaging condition from the memory in a case where imaging under the custom imaging condition set by the user is selected in the image pickup apparatus.
