CAMERA, ACCESSORY APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163535 titled 'CAMERA, ACCESSORY APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a camera that can communicate with multiple accessory apparatus simultaneously or individually, using different communication channels. The camera can also adjust its error processing based on the type of error detected during communication with a specific accessory apparatus.
- Camera can communicate with multiple accessory apparatus at the same time using a data communication channel.
- Camera can communicate individually with a specific accessory apparatus using the data communication channel.
- Camera can adjust error processing based on the type of error detected during communication with a specific accessory apparatus.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various fields such as photography, videography, surveillance systems, and live streaming.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing communication with multiple accessory apparatus connected to a camera, as well as adapting error processing based on the type of error detected during communication.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved communication efficiency, better error handling, and enhanced user experience when using multiple accessory apparatus with a camera.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be used in the development of advanced camera systems for professional photographers, filmmakers, security companies, and content creators.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a patent for a camera system that can communicate with multiple accessory apparatus, but does not have the capability to adjust error processing based on the type of error detected during communication.
Unanswered Questions
How does the camera prioritize communication with multiple accessory apparatus?
The patent application does not specify how the camera decides which accessory apparatus to communicate with first when multiple devices are connected.
What types of errors can the camera detect during communication with accessory apparatus?
The patent application mentions adjusting error processing based on the type of error detected, but does not provide a detailed list of possible errors that the camera can detect.
Original Abstract Submitted
a camera is operable while connected to a plurality of accessory apparatus. the camera is configured to control communication with the plurality of accessory apparatus using a notification channel for notification with the plurality of accessory apparatus and a data communication channel for data communication with the plurality of accessory apparatus. the camera is configured to perform first communication for simultaneous communication with the plurality of accessory apparatus using the data communication channel, and second communication for individual communication with a specific accessory apparatus among the plurality of accessory apparatus using the data communication channel. the camera is configured to change a content of communication error processing according to a type of error when detecting the error based on information that is used to detect the error included in a data packet in performing the second communication by switching the specific accessory apparatus in a predetermined order.
