IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163547 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a controller that can display a predetermined item in different layouts and display forms based on the positional relationship of a display unit with respect to the main body of an image pickup apparatus.

  • The controller can display the predetermined item at a display position in a first layout and display the item in a first display form when the positional relationship is a first positional relationship.
  • When the positional relationship is a second positional relationship, the controller can display the predetermined item at a display position in a second layout different from the first layout and display the item in a second display form that is more easily viewed.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in digital cameras, smartphones, and other devices with display units to improve the viewing experience of images and other content.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of displaying content in an optimal way based on the positional relationship of the display unit, providing a better viewing experience for users.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced visibility of displayed content, improved user experience, and the ability to adapt to different positional relationships for optimal display.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of next-generation digital cameras with advanced display capabilities for photographers and content creators.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be display systems in digital cameras or smartphones that adjust the display based on the orientation of the device.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in devices with display units?

This article does not address the potential impact of this technology on battery life in devices with display units. The power consumption of the controller and display adjustments could be a factor to consider.

Are there any limitations to the types of content that can be displayed in different layouts and forms?

Original Abstract Submitted

a controller performs control to display a predetermined item at a display position in a first layout and display the predetermined item in a first display form, in a case where a positional relationship of a display unit with respect to a main body of an image pickup apparatus is a first positional relationship, and performs control to display the predetermined item at a display position in a second layout different from the first layout and display the predetermined item in a second display form in which the image displayed together with the predetermined item is more easily viewed than in the first display form, in a case where the positional relationship of the display unit with respect to the main body of the image pickup apparatus is a second positional relationship.
