IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524862 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The imaging apparatus described in the patent application is designed to record images captured by an imaging unit and store multiple imaging setting histories for future reference. The apparatus includes an operation member that can be assigned the function of calling up a specific imaging setting from the stored histories based on user input.
- The imaging apparatus includes an image recording unit for capturing and recording images.
- A storage unit stores imaging setting histories when images are recorded.
- The operation member can be assigned the function of accessing specific imaging settings from the stored histories.
- The assignment unit assigns the operation member the function of calling up the latest imaging setting history upon user operation.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as photography, medical imaging, surveillance systems, and industrial inspection where different imaging settings need to be quickly accessed and applied.
Problems Solved
1. Streamlining the process of accessing and applying specific imaging settings. 2. Ensuring consistency in image quality by easily referencing past imaging settings.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency in adjusting imaging settings. 2. Enhanced user experience with quick access to preferred settings. 3. Consistent image quality across different captures.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be utilized in digital cameras, medical imaging devices, security cameras, and industrial inspection equipment to provide users with a convenient way to access and apply preferred imaging settings.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar systems or methods used in digital cameras or imaging devices that allow users to save and recall specific imaging settings for future use.
Unanswered Questions
How does the assignment unit determine which imaging setting history to assign to the operation member?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the criteria or algorithm used by the assignment unit to assign imaging setting histories to the operation member.
Can users customize the functions assigned to the operation member?
It is not clear from the abstract whether users have the ability to customize or modify the functions assigned to the operation member based on their preferences or specific needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging apparatus includes an image recording unit configured to record an image captured and obtained by an imaging unit, a storage unit configured to store an imaging setting when the image recording unit records the image as an imaging setting history, the storage unit being configured to store a plurality of imaging setting histories, an operation member, and an assignment unit configured to assign the operation member a function of calling the imaging setting of one of the imaging setting histories stored in the storage unit based on a user operation. The assignment unit is configured to assign the operation member a function of calling the imaging setting of a latest imaging setting history upon operation of the operation member among the imaging setting histories stored in the storage unit.
