20110021161Wireless Communication Terminal - In a wireless communication terminal, information from a wireless communication unit is decoded by a communication control unit and analysis information is acquired. A content reception judgment unit instructs the communication control unit to terminate a content receiving process if a mobile radio environment corresponding to transmission rate information of the contents, included in the analysis information, is below a content reception threshold stored in a content reception threshold storage unit. Thus, the wireless communication terminal can judge that the possibility of a failed reception is high before content reception, and needless power consumption can be prevented and power consumption reduced by not performing reception.01-27-2011

20090033740VIDEO METHOD FOR GENERATING FREE VIEWPOINT VIDEO IMAGE USING DIVIDED LOCAL REGIONS - The present invention provides a method of generating a virtual viewpoint video image when the virtual viewpoint position is not located on a plane where a camera is disposed. In an environment in which a plurality of cameras having a horizontal optical axis are disposed in a real zone (for example, on the circumference) which surrounds an object, a video image of an arbitrary viewpoint on the circumference is generated. Further, by synthesizing video images photographed by a camera, a free viewpoint video image is generated from a virtual viewpoint (viewpoint from a high or low position) where no camera is placed. According to a method of achieving this, a travel distance of a display position is calculated by the local region synthesizing portion and this travel distance is reflected to the free viewpoint video image of a local region.02-05-2009
