IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18607431 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation: The imaging apparatus described in the patent application includes an image sensor, a controller, and a user interface. The image sensor captures a subject image to generate imaging data. The controller performs repair processing to generate a moving image file from a corrupted file, allowing the reproduction of a moving image indicated by the imaging data. The user interface inputs user operations related to the repair processing, enabling the selection of specific corrupted files for repair.

  • The image sensor captures a subject image to create imaging data.
  • The controller performs repair processing to generate a moving image file from a corrupted file.
  • The user interface allows users to select specific corrupted files for repair.

Potential Applications: 1. Digital image restoration in cameras and smartphones. 2. Video editing software for repairing corrupted video files. 3. Medical imaging devices for recovering damaged medical scans.

Problems Solved: 1. Efficient repair of corrupted image and video files. 2. Restoration of important visual data that would otherwise be lost. 3. Streamlining the process of recovering damaged imaging files.

Benefits: 1. Enhanced data recovery capabilities for image and video files. 2. Improved user experience in handling corrupted media files. 3. Preservation of valuable visual information for various applications.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in digital cameras, video editing software, medical imaging devices, and forensic analysis tools to efficiently repair corrupted image and video files, enhancing data recovery capabilities and user experience.

Questions about Imaging Apparatus: 1. How does the imaging apparatus handle user operations related to repair processing? 2. What are the potential commercial implications of this technology in the digital imaging industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, a controller, and a user interface. The image sensor captures a subject image to generate imaging data. The controller performs repair processing to generate a moving image file from a corrupted file, the moving image file being capable of reproducing a moving image indicated by the imaging data, the corrupted file having a defect as the moving image file. The user interface inputs a user operation related to the repair processing. The controller receives a user operation selecting a specific corrupted file from one or more of corrupted files via the user interface, and performs the repair processing on the selected corrupted file in response to the user operation.
