IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345633 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The imaging apparatus described in the patent application includes a display unit, a turning unit that can turnably hold the display unit with respect to the main body unit, and acceleration sensors to detect gravity accelerations applied to the main body unit and the display unit.
- The apparatus calculates posture angles of the display unit and the main body unit based on the gravity accelerations detected by the sensors.
- It then switches the display state of the display unit by determining the display state based on the calculated posture angles.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in imaging devices such as cameras and smartphones to automatically adjust the display based on the device's orientation. - It can also be applied in virtual reality and augmented reality systems to enhance user experience by adjusting the display according to the user's movements.
Problems Solved: - The technology solves the problem of manual adjustment of display orientation in imaging devices. - It provides a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for users interacting with imaging devices.
Benefits: - Improved user experience with automatic display adjustment. - Simplified operation of imaging devices without the need for manual adjustments.
Commercial Applications: Title: Automatic Display Adjustment Technology for Imaging Devices This technology can be commercially used in smartphones, cameras, virtual reality headsets, and other imaging devices to enhance user experience and streamline operation.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the automatic display adjustment technology improve user experience? - The technology enhances user experience by automatically adjusting the display based on the device's orientation, providing a more intuitive interface for users. 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology? - The technology can be applied in smartphones, cameras, and virtual reality headsets to improve user experience and streamline operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
an imaging apparatus includes a display unit, a turning unit configured to turnably hold the display unit with respect to the main body unit, a first acceleration sensor configured to detect a first gravity acceleration applied to the main body unit, a second acceleration sensor configured to detect a second gravity acceleration applied to the display unit, an angle calculation unit configured to calculate posture angles of the display unit and the main body unit from the gravity accelerations acquired from the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor, and a display switching unit configured to switch a display state of the display unit by determining the display state of the display unit based on the posture angles calculated by the angle calculation unit, wherein it is determined whether to switch the display state of the display unit, based on the display state determined by the display switching unit.
