1. A smart device comprising:
three imaging elements;
at least one signal processing circuit; and
a transfer path,
wherein each of the three imaging elements includes a memory that is incorporated in the imaging element and stores image data obtained by imaging a subject, and a communication interface that is incorporated in the imaging element and outputs output image data based on the image data stored in the memory,
the transfer path connects the three imaging elements and a single signal processing circuit in series,
the three imaging elements are a first imaging element, a second imaging element, and a third imaging element,
the communication interface of the first imaging element outputs the output image data to the second imaging element through the transfer path,
the communication interface of the second imaging element outputs the output image data to the third imaging element, and
the communication interface of the third imaging element outputs the output image data to the signal processing circuit through the transfer path.
