IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161309 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image capturing apparatus that tracks a target within a specified area and notifies a client apparatus if the target moves outside of this area.

  • The image capturing apparatus tracks a target within a first area and receives information about a second area from a client apparatus.
  • The apparatus then notifies the client apparatus if the second area is outside the range of the first area.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in security systems to track intruders within a specific area and alert authorities if they move outside of that area.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently tracking targets within a specified area and ensuring that any movement outside of this area is promptly detected.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved security measures, real-time tracking capabilities, and enhanced monitoring of specific areas.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced surveillance systems for both residential and commercial properties.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing image capturing systems with tracking capabilities, but the specific feature of notifying a client apparatus about a target moving outside of a specified area may be a novel aspect of this invention.

Unanswered Questions

How does the image capturing apparatus determine the boundaries of the first and second areas?

The abstract does not provide details on how the apparatus defines the boundaries of the tracking areas.

What type of client apparatus is compatible with this image capturing technology?

The abstract does not specify the type of client apparatus that can receive notifications from the image capturing apparatus.
