Application: Camera-equipped portable information terminal (Patent ID: US20240121517A1)

The patent filed by Hitachi Ltd. describes a method and system for enabling good illumination and capturing of images when multiple users with camera-equipped portable information terminal devices gather in the same location. The camera-equipped device includes an imaging unit, illumination means, communication unit, and control unit. The control unit sends a light emission instruction signal to other devices, causing their illumination means to emit light simultaneously with capturing an image. This system allows for synchronized image capture and illumination among multiple devices in a group.

The method outlined in the patent involves forming groups of portable information terminals capable of communicating within a local area, sending and receiving image data between devices in the group, and automatically canceling the group after a set period. The system also includes features such as sorting captured image data into folders, managing file names, and confirming designated information for forming groups. Overall, the invention aims to enhance the image capture experience when multiple camera-equipped devices are used in the same vicinity by coordinating illumination and image capture among the devices in a group.
