Sample Charting Analysis for Unified Patents PATROLL
□ Patent 1 (Target): US7187858B2
□ Patent 2 (Prior Art): US5960221A
Patent 2 may be an anticipating prior art of Patent 1. Both patents disclose camera systems with a focus on power supply management and control of camera operations. The voltage detection and time constant circuit features in both patents serve to control and manage the power supply for the camera systems. Furthermore, both patents describe image capture systems that perform power-consuming operations related to image capturing. Additionally, the controllers in both patents operate based on the power supply status and work to manage the camera's operations accordingly.
While Patent 1 emphasizes rendering the camera inactive when there is insufficient power to perform all image capture operations, Patent 2 focuses on film initialization and camera operation in response to film cartridge presence. Although the specific features may differ, the core aspects of power management and control in camera systems are present in both patents. Therefore, it can be concluded that Patent 2 may be an anticipating prior art of Patent 1.
