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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347916 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, OPTICAL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus for an optical apparatus that can switch between different control methods for the actuator to reduce the driving sound generated by the actuator.

  • The control apparatus includes a memory storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions.
  • The processor can switch the control method for the actuator between a first method and a second method to adjust the driving sound.
  • The second control method is configured to make the driving sound smaller than the first control method based on a setting about sound when the optical apparatus is in use.
      1. Potential Applications
  • Optical devices such as cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and laser systems.
  • Medical equipment like endoscopes and surgical instruments.
  • Robotics and automation systems.
      1. Problems Solved
  • Minimizing noise generated by the actuator in optical devices.
  • Improving user experience by reducing disruptive sounds during operation.
  • Enhancing the precision and accuracy of the optical apparatus by reducing vibrations caused by the actuator.
      1. Benefits
  • Quieter operation of optical devices.
  • Improved performance and reliability.
  • Enhanced user comfort and satisfaction.
  • Potential for increased precision in optical applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus for an optical apparatus that includes a member and an actuator configured to drive the member includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to switch a control method for the actuator between a first control method and a second control method configured to make a driving sound generated by the actuator in the second control method smaller than a driving sound generated by the actuator in the first control method, according to a setting about sound in a case where the optical apparatus is used.
