DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18607610 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a display control apparatus that generates a user interface image showing a system with multiple image capturing apparatuses, distinguishing those that work together from those that do not.
- Information displayed on the user interface image indicates the cooperative operation of at least two image capturing apparatuses in a different form than those that do not cooperate.
- The apparatus controls the display to show this distinction clearly to the user.
Key Features and Innovation:
- User interface image distinguishes between cooperating and non-cooperating image capturing apparatuses.
- Control mechanism ensures clear display of this information to the user.
Potential Applications:
- Surveillance systems
- Photography studios
- Video conferencing setups
Problems Solved:
- Confusion regarding which image capturing apparatuses are working together.
- Streamlining user interface for better user experience.
Benefits:
- Improved user understanding of system setup.
- Enhanced efficiency in operating multiple image capturing apparatuses.
Commercial Applications:
- "Display Control Apparatus for Multi-Image Capturing Systems": Potential for use in security systems, photography studios, and video conferencing setups.
Prior Art:
- Further research can be conducted in the field of display control apparatuses for multi-image capturing systems to identify prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research:
- Stay updated on advancements in display control technology for multi-image capturing systems to enhance the functionality and user experience.
Questions about Display Control Apparatus for Multi-Image Capturing Systems: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between cooperating and non-cooperating image capturing apparatuses? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in surveillance systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display control apparatus generates a user interface (UI) image indicating a system including a plurality of image capturing apparatuses, the image being displayed such that information indicating not less than two image capturing apparatuses, of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, which perform a predetermined cooperative operation is different in a form from information indicating an image capturing apparatus, of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, which does not perform the predetermined cooperative operation, and performs control to cause a display to display the image.
