Why not have the camera notch the film edge when exposed? or burn a spot in
the sprocket hole area? Then when inserted, the film would wind past the
last mark and stop ready to take the next picture. For double exposures, it
could be backed up or just not advanced. That some chip programming but it
should be very easy to do.
