==IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18585243 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes an image pickup apparatus that can control the exposure of captured images based on whether the image will be streamed next.

* The processor can control exposure in a first mode when it has not acquired information indicating the image will be streamed.
* In a second mode, the processor can adjust parameters used in the first mode using a fixed value if it has acquired the necessary information.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Adaptive exposure control based on streaming information.
* Two modes of exposure control for flexibility.
* Fixed value adjustment for parameters in the second mode.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Photography and videography equipment.
* Surveillance cameras.
* Live streaming devices.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Ensures optimal exposure for streamed images.
* Enhances image quality based on streaming requirements.

'''Benefits:'''
* Improved image quality.
* Streamlined workflow for streaming applications.
* Enhanced user experience.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
* Camera manufacturers can integrate this technology into their products to enhance image quality for streaming applications, potentially increasing sales in the photography and videography market.

'''Questions about Image Pickup Apparatus:'''
1. How does the processor determine whether the captured image will be streamed next?
2. What are the specific parameters that can be controlled in the first and second exposure control modes?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image pickup apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to image a captured image, and a processor configured to control exposure of the captured image. The processor is configured to control the exposure of the captured image in a first mode in a case where the processor has not acquired first information indicating that the captured image will be streamed next, and the processor is configured to control the exposure of the captured image in a second mode for controlling at least one of parameters that are used in the first mode, using a fixed value in a case where the processor has acquired the first information.
