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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18436980 titled 'APPARATUS, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The patent application describes an apparatus with a sensor, processor, and memory that can adjust images based on the output signal from the sensor and other factors.

The apparatus includes a sensor with a photodiode, at least one processor, and memory.
Instructions stored in the memory allow the processor to output a first image based on the sensor's signal.
The processor determines an adjustment method for the image based on factors like the cumulative value of the signal or the drive time of the apparatus.
A second image is then output by adjusting the first image according to the adjustment method.

Potential Applications: - Image processing in cameras or other imaging devices - Automated adjustment of images in real-time applications - Enhancing image quality based on environmental conditions

Problems Solved: - Improving image quality by automatically adjusting images - Streamlining image processing tasks for users - Enhancing the overall user experience with image capture devices

Benefits: - Consistent and high-quality image output - Reduction in manual image adjustments - Increased efficiency in image processing tasks

Commercial Applications: Title: "Automated Image Adjustment Technology for Cameras" This technology can be utilized in digital cameras, smartphones, surveillance systems, and medical imaging devices to enhance image quality and streamline image processing tasks. The market implications include improved user satisfaction, increased demand for devices with advanced image processing capabilities, and potential partnerships with manufacturers to integrate this technology into their products.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the adjustment method improve image quality? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in different environments?

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes a sensor having a photodiode, at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to output a first image based on an output signal from the sensor, determine an adjustment method for an image based on at least one of a cumulative value of the output signal or a drive time of the apparatus, and output a second image acquired by adjusting the first image based on the adjustment method.
