| 20100005526 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes: a positional relation acquisition section that detects a person who is in a predetermined area around a display device and acquires a positional relation between the detected person and the display device; an authentication section that authenticates a person at an authentication position which is a position in the predetermined area; a control section that stores a correspondence between the positional relation and the state of displaying, associates, if a person is authenticated, the authenticated person, a person detected at the authentication position at the time of authentication, and a predetermined right of access, makes a determination as to whether or not the authenticated person has a right of access to the display information displayed, so as to change the correspondence according to the determination, and controls the state of displaying based on the correspondence and the positional relation. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100054723 | Focus adjusting apparatus and method - A focus adjusting apparatus adjusts a focus of a camera imaging a moving object. The apparatus includes a calculating unit that calculates a first out-of-focus level of a portion corresponding to the moving object within a first region of an image picked up by the camera, and calculates a second out-of-focus level of a portion corresponding to the moving object within a second region of an image; and a focus adjusting unit that shifts the focus of the camera in a direction in which the camera is focused onto the portion corresponding to the moving object within the first region when the first out-of-focus level is larger than the second out-of-focus level, and that shifts the focus in a direction in which the camera is focused onto the portion corresponding to the moving object within the second region when the second out-of-focus level is larger than the first out-of-focus level. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100060732 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING OBJECT IMAGE - An apparatus for extracting image data of an object in an input image data. The apparatus includes a display device having a display screen for displaying a plurality of predetermined images; a display controller for controlling the display device to display one of the predetermined images; an imaging device for taking an image of an object placed before the display screen in order to generate an input image data; a controller for controlling the imaging device to take an image of the object and the display screen when the display device displays one of the predetermined images in cooperation with the display controller; and an extractor for extracting image data of the object by comparing the input image data generated by imaging device with data of the one of the plurality of the predetermined images. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100088758 | SECURITY SYSTEM, SECURITY METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING SECURITY PROGRAM - A security system to give a user in a specific area use authority based on authentication, and to permit use of the specific area by the use authority. The security system includes an authentication unit to authenticate a user, a position detection unit to detect at least one of a position and move of a user, and a use authority control unit to monitor at least one of a position and move of a user to whom the use authority is given based on the authentication of the authentication unit by a detection output of the position detection unit, and, if a distance between users is equal to or below a predetermined value, to change the use authority which is given to each user. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100103193 | IMAGE MONITOR APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE MONITOR PROGRAM - An image monitor apparatus includes a recognition process section that recognizes a process area in an original image which is inputted, a display image process section that generates and outputs an image for display by subjecting a process for display according to a user to the process area recognized by the recognition process section in the original image, a cut image record section that records an image of a partial area of the original image, the image cut from the original image, and further includes a record image process section that cuts the process area recognized by the recognition process section from the original image and causes the cut image record section to record an image in the process area of the original image, and generates and outputs an image for record by subjecting a process for record to the process area recognized by the recognition process section. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100117793 | PHOTOGRAPHING CONTROL APPARATUS, PROGRAM AND METHOD OF THE SAME, AND PHOTOGRAPHING APPARATUS - An imaging control apparatus for controlling an imaging apparatus that presents presentation information and captures an image of a person, the imaging control apparatus includes: an identification information acquisition unit that acquires identification information; an information presentation instruction unit that refers to presentation information setting information which associates the identification information and the presentation information with each other, and instructs the imaging apparatus to present presentation information that the presentation information setting information associates with identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit; and an imaging instruction unit that instructs the imaging apparatus to capture an image of the person while the instruction presentation instruction unit instructs to present the presentation information. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100134310 | AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An authentication apparatus includes a registration unit that registers authentication information representing a check target, a first authentication unit that authenticates the check target at the entrance of the check target to a first area, a second authentication unit that authenticates the check target at the entrance of the check target to a second area after being authenticated by the first authentication unit, and a detector that detects a check target present in a detection area and expected to be authenticated by the second authentication unit. The second authentication unit retrieves, from the registration unit, registration information of the check target detected by the detector, and authenticates the check target authenticated by the first authentication unit using the registration information. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100231712 | Image capturing apparatus and image capturing method - In an image capturing apparatus, an image recognition device detects an object to be monitored and calculates an object luminance and object coordinates by performing a recognition process on the detected object. A control device calculates a position and an illuminance in space where the object exists on the basis of the object luminance and the objet coordinates, calculates a camera parameter on the basis of the calculated position and illuminance and a present camera parameter, and controls the camera parameter of a video image capturing device according to the calculated camera parameter, so that the exposure amount is adjusted. | 09-16-2010 |
