INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, CLIENT DEVICE, CONTROL METHODS THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161324 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, CLIENT DEVICE, CONTROL METHODS THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that detects a subject in an image, adjusts the imaging range based on the subject size, and controls the change in range speed accordingly.
- The device detects a predetermined subject in an image.
- It determines the speed at which to change the imaging range based on the size of the subject detected.
- The device ensures that the imaging range remains unchanged when the subject size falls within a specified range.
- If the difference between the detection limit subject size and the subject size associated with the edge of the range is too small, the device adjusts the range to maintain a minimum difference.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Surveillance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Photography equipment
Problems Solved
This technology addresses issues such as:
- Ensuring accurate subject detection
- Optimizing imaging range adjustments
- Preventing image distortion
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved image quality
- Enhanced subject tracking
- Efficient use of imaging resources
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Security camera systems
- Drone technology
- Medical imaging devices
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Image processing algorithms for object detection and tracking in video surveillance systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle changes in lighting conditions that may affect subject detection?
The patent application does not specify how the device adjusts for varying lighting conditions that could impact subject detection accuracy.

Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing device which detects a predetermined subject from an image captured, determines a speed at which to change an imaging range in accordance with a subject size of the predetermined subject detected, controls the change in the imaging range at the determined speed, determines the speed such that the imaging range is not changed while the subject size detected takes a value within a first range based on a target size, and when a first difference between a detection limit subject size at which the predetermined subject can be detected and a subject size associated with an edge of the first range is lower than a first predetermined value, and changes the subject size associated with the edge of the first range such that the first difference becomes greater than or equal to the first predetermined value.
