    摘要: The present technology relates to a control apparatus, a control method, a program, and an electronic device system that enables achievement of low power consumption.
    The presence or absence of a preset, predetermined subject is detected from an image having a low resolution output by an image sensor in a low power consumption mode, the image sensor including, as operation modes, the low power consumption mode in which the image having the low resolution is output and a normal mode in which an image having a high resolution as compared with the image having the low resolution is output. Then, in a case where the presence of the predetermined subject is detected, the operation mode of the image sensor is set to the normal mode, and the image sensor outputs the image having the high resolution. The present technology may be applied, for example, to control of the image sensor.

    摘要: Reducing power consumption without reducing the number of pixel signals in a solid-state imaging element that performs AD conversion of a pixel signal. A pixel array unit includes a plurality of lines each having a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined direction. A scanning circuit sequentially selects the plurality of lines and then controls to output an analog signal from each of the pixels within the selected line in a non-addition mode, and simultaneously selects the plurality of lines and controls to add up the analog signals of each of the pixels arranged in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction and output the added signals in a pixel addition mode. The analog-to-digital conversion unit converts each of the analog signals into a digital signal. The control unit performs control of switching from one of the pixel addition mode and the non-addition mode to the other on the basis of the digital signal.
