COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134823 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The communication apparatus described in the patent application is capable of storing files obtained from external devices along with accompanying information, and rewriting the information if it is not initially provided with the file. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- The apparatus stores files and accompanying information from external devices.
- If a file is received without accompanying information, the apparatus obtains related information from the external device.
- The apparatus then rewrites the initial information with the newly obtained information before storing the file.
Potential Applications of this Technology: This technology could be applied in communication devices, data storage systems, and file management applications.
Problems Solved by this Technology: This technology solves the issue of missing or incomplete information when storing files obtained from external devices.
Benefits of this Technology: The benefits of this technology include improved organization of files, accurate recording of information, and enhanced data management capabilities.
Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology: The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in mobile devices, cloud storage services, and digital content management systems.
Possible Prior Art: One possible prior art could be a similar system used in digital cameras where metadata is added to image files automatically.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the communication apparatus handle conflicting information from the external device and the initial file? 2. What security measures are in place to protect the stored files and information from unauthorized access or tampering?
Original Abstract Submitted
a communication apparatus, when a file obtained from a first external apparatus is a first file that is accompanied by first information in the first external apparatus, stores the first file into a storage unit, and stores the first information of the first file thereinto, and when the file obtained from the first external apparatus is a second file that is not accompanied by the first information, obtains, from the first external apparatus, second information related to a recording date and time when the second file has been recorded, and rewrites the first information into the second information when storing the second file into the storage unit.
