SYSTEM CONSISTING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121506 titled 'SYSTEM CONSISTING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where an electronic device with an image sensor communicates with a notification apparatus to provide information about the exposure timing of the image sensor, allowing for notifications to be performed based on this timing.

  • Electronic device with image sensor:
   - Performs shooting by controlling exposure period
   - Uses electronic shutter for photoelectric conversion
  • Notification apparatus:
   - Communicates with electronic device
   - Receives information on exposure timing
   - Performs notifications based on this timing

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in photography, security systems, and remote monitoring applications.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently notifying users about the timing of exposure in image sensors, allowing for better control and monitoring of shooting processes.

Benefits

The system provides accurate and timely notifications about exposure timing, enhancing user experience and control over the shooting process.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include camera systems, surveillance systems, and IoT devices for remote monitoring and control.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use notifications based on sensor data, but not specifically related to exposure timing in image sensors.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in electronic devices?

The patent application does not provide information on how this technology may impact the battery life of electronic devices. This could be an important consideration for users who rely on their devices for extended periods.

Are there any privacy concerns related to the communication between the electronic device and the notification apparatus?

The patent application does not address any potential privacy concerns that may arise from the communication between the electronic device and the notification apparatus. It would be important to consider how data is transmitted and stored to ensure user privacy and security.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system includes an electronic device having an image sensor that performs shooting by controlling an exposure period of performing photoelectric conversion on incident light and accumulating charge by using electronic shutter and a notification apparatus capable of communicating with the electronic device. information indicating at least either of an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing of the image sensor is transmitted from the electronic device to the notification apparatus, and notification is performed in the notification apparatus according to at least either of the exposure start timing and the exposure end timing based on the information transmitted from the electronic device.
