Application: Control apparatus, image capturing apparatus, control method, recording medium, and image capturing system (Patent ID: US20230421893A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a control apparatus for an image capturing device that automatically captures images with variable compositions for sale to users. The control apparatus utilizes demand information obtained from user purchase data to set frequencies of adoption for different composition types and determines the composition to be used based on these frequencies. The apparatus can identify user preferences for subject compositions and adjust shooting parameters accordingly, enhancing the overall image capturing process.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for controlling the image capturing apparatus based on user demand tendencies, allowing for personalized and optimized image capture. The system can adapt shooting parameters, such as subject region occupancy and position, based on user preferences identified through machine learning. By utilizing purchase information and user demand data, the control apparatus can enhance the image capturing experience and provide users with images tailored to their preferences, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and image quality.
