CONTROL APPARATUS, ROTATIONALLY DRIVING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126044 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, ROTATIONALLY DRIVING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus designed to manage a rotationally driving apparatus that rotates a movable unit with an optical system relative to a support unit. The control apparatus includes a memory storing instructions and a processor executing these instructions to acquire the optical state of the optical system, determine a driving range based on a margin angle and a rotation angle, and control the rotationally driving unit accordingly.

  • Rotationally driving apparatus controls the movement of a movable unit with an optical system.
  • Control apparatus includes a memory and a processor to acquire the optical state and determine the driving range.
  • Driving range is based on a margin angle and rotation angle, controlling the rotationally driving unit.

Original Abstract Submitted

a control apparatus is configured to control a rotationally driving apparatus that includes a rotationally driving unit configured to rotate a movable unit including an optical system relative to a support unit. the control apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to acquire an optical state of the optical system, determine a driving range based on a margin angle and a rotation angle which is an angle from an initial position to a position where the movable unit interferes with the support unit, and control the rotationally driving unit using the driving range. the margin angle is changed according to the optical state.
