IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18507919 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The controller in this patent application controls the display of a predetermined item in different layouts and display forms based on the positional relationship of the display unit with respect to the main body of an image pickup apparatus.
- The controller displays a predetermined item in a first layout and display form when the positional relationship is a first positional relationship.
- The controller displays the predetermined item in a second layout and display form when the positional relationship is a second positional relationship, making the displayed image and item easier to view.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Digital cameras
- Smartphones
- Tablets
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of displaying images and items in a way that is more easily viewable based on the positional relationship of the display unit.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved user experience
- Enhanced visibility of displayed content
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Display Control Technology for Image Pickup Apparatuses" could be used in:
- Consumer electronics
- Photography equipment
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of automatic display adjustment based on device orientation in smartphones and tablets.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in devices where it is implemented?
This technology may impact battery life depending on the frequency of display adjustments and the power consumption of the display unit.
There could be privacy concerns if sensitive information is displayed in a more easily viewable form without user consent.
Original Abstract Submitted
A controller performs control to display a predetermined item at a display position in a first layout and display the predetermined item in a first display form, in a case where a positional relationship of a display unit with respect to a main body of an image pickup apparatus is a first positional relationship, and performs control to display the predetermined item at a display position in a second layout different from the first layout and display the predetermined item in a second display form in which the image displayed together with the predetermined item is more easily viewed than in the first display form, in a case where the positional relationship of the display unit with respect to the main body of the image pickup apparatus is a second positional relationship.
