Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for acquiring operating parameters of a photographic lens, including: a control circuit and a storage unit that are configured in the photographic lens, where the control circuit acquires an operating parameter of the photographic lens by using a focusing ring position sensor, a zoom ring position sensor, an aperture ring position sensor, an accelerometer and a gyro sensor; and the control circuit is further connected to a camera or an external data reading device by using a communication interface, to output the operating parameter after data encapsulation in real time.
Abstract:
A remote CCTV module for a wireless monitoring system includes a communications interface configured to transmit data to a server over a wireless telecommunications network; a sensor interface configured to receive sensor data from a sensor; a CCTV camera; and a controller. The controller controls the communications interface to transmit the sensor data over the wireless telecommunications network at a first frequency; processes the sensor data to detect an event in an environment proximate to the module, and in response to detecting the event, controls the communications interface to transmit the sensor data over the wireless telecommunications network at a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is higher than the first frequency.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus to which a lens unit can be attached, is provided that includes an image sensor; a power supply that supplies power; and one or more processors and/or circuitry which functions as: a determination unit that determines whether or not to supply power to the lens unit based on at least one predetermined condition that includes at least one condition relating to power consumption of the lens unit; and a control unit that performs control so as not to supply actuation power to the lens unit according to a determination result by the determination unit, wherein the image sensor is capable of performing shooting even after the control unit performs control so as not to supply actuation power to the lens unit.
Abstract:
A battery device includes a connection unit to which an electronic apparatus is connected, a calculation unit that calculates a remaining battery level of a battery of the battery device based on a full charge capacity of a battery of the electronic apparatus, and a display unit that displays information indicating a result of calculation made by the calculation unit.
Abstract:
A camera system includes: an IP camera that comprises a threadable power connection; a mounting/positioning apparatus connected to the IP camera that physically connects the IP camera to a building structure at an exterior portion of the building structure, wherein the mounting/positioning includes a light socket for supplying power to the IP camera; optionally a WiFi bridge that is electrically connected to an interior power outlet of a building structure; and a wireless router that wirelessly connects with the WiFi bridge or camera for the transmission of data between the wireless router and the WiFi bridge.
Abstract:
A display control apparatus includes an attitude detection unit and a display control unit. The attitude detection unit is configured to detect an attitude of a display unit. The display control unit, in a case where the attitude of the display unit detected by the attitude detection unit is a first attitude, is configured to display a certain display object on the display unit and after having displayed the certain display object for a first period to cancel display of the certain display object, and in a case where the attitude of the display unit detected by the attitude detection unit is a second attitude different from the first attitude by 90 degrees, is configured to display the certain display object on the display unit and after having displayed the certain display object for the first period not to cancel display of the certain display object.
Abstract:
A control unit driving a motor in a first direction based on output of a first signal, whereby a cam member charges a biasing member, and thereafter the control unit controls driving of the motor so as to stop the cam member in the state where the biasing member is charged, and the control unit drives the motor in a second direction that is the opposite direction to the first direction, whereby the cam member is driven by biasing force of the biasing member and driving force of the motor, an engaging portion follows through a first zone, and thereafter the cam member is driven by the driving force of the motor without using the biasing force of the biasing member, and the engaging portion follows through the second zone.
Abstract:
A power source switching device includes a first switch circuit provided between a first power source and a load section, a second switch circuit provided between a second power source and the load section, a third switch circuit provided between the first power source and the load section in series with the first switch circuit, a fourth switch circuit provided between the second power source and the load section in series with the second switch circuit, a logic circuit that controls the third and the fourth switch circuits to prevent at least one of the third and fourth switch circuits from turning on while both of the first and second switch circuits are in an on state, and a control circuit that controls the first switch circuit, the second switch circuit, and the logic circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electronic device that can operate as long as possible even if the battery level is low and that can avoid an unexpected shutdown as much of the time as possible while data is being transmitted to, or received from, an external device.The electronic device has a particular mode of operation in which the electronic device is connected to an external device and can accept a request to read and/or write information sent by the external device. The electronic device includes: a battery; an interface, which is connected to the external device so as to get power from the external device and which accepts the request sent by the external device; and a control section for changing conditions for enabling that particular mode of operation according to a supply value, which is at least one of the values of current and voltage supplied by the external device, and a value representing a level of the battery.
