| 20100045815 | IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE - In this image pickup device, a system controller uses pattern matching to detect regions where patterns match between images based on multiple sets of image data. Subsequently, the system controller conducts alignment based on the regions that are matched by pattern matching with respect to the multiple sets of image data that are generated by multiple imagings in a exposure time shorter than a normal exposure time while the imaging view field changes. Furthermore, the system controller adds the respective sets of image data after alignment, and generates image data corresponding to a view field that is wider than the imaging view field of a CCD. According to this image pickup device, motion blur can be reduced. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100061355 | COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND DETERMINATION METHOD - A communication terminal comprising: a determination unit which determines whether or not the communication terminal is able to connect to a first external terminal using a wireless communication, based on a communication condition of wired or wireless communication with a second external terminal which is different from the first external terminal, when the communication terminal receives a connection request from the first external terminal. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100098332 | COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication terminal includes: an imaging unit which photoelectrically converts a subject image formed by an optical system into image data of which each frame is constituted by color data corresponding to a plurality of colors; a signal processing unit which thins out the color data corresponding to at least one color for each pixel in one frame from the image data; and a transmitting unit which transmits the image data processed by the signal processing unit to another communication terminal. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100189012 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND CONNECTION SETUP METHOD FOR USE IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A wireless communication terminal comprises a trigger reception section, a join request reception section, and a connection setup section. The trigger reception section receives a predetermined trigger. The join request reception section receives a join request to a wireless network by wireless communication from an external terminal which doesn't join the wireless network of the wireless communication terminal. The connection setup section which performs connection setup to join the wireless network for each join request received by the join request reception section from a plurality of external terminals during a reception period corresponding to one trigger received by the trigger reception section, and doesn't perform the connection setup for the join request received from the external terminal after expiration of the reception period. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100254314 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL - A wireless communication terminal comprises a communication unit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The communication unit wirelessly communicates with another communication terminal belonging to a wireless network where communication terminals directly communicate with each other and a communication terminal which does not belong to the wireless network. The detection unit detects a predetermined trigger. The control unit determines whether or not the communication unit is in a busy state with the other communication terminal belonging to the wireless network. The control unit controls the communication unit to prohibit transmission of a positive response to a connection request directed to the wireless network from the communication terminal which does not belong to the wireless network, upon detection of the trigger when determining that the communication unit is in the busy state with the other communication terminal. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100260069 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND CONNECTION SETUP METHOD OF WIRELESS NETWORK - A wireless communication terminal comprises a trigger receiving unit, a participation request receiving unit, and a connection setup unit. The trigger receiving unit receives a predetermined trigger. The participation request receiving unit receives requests to participate in a wireless network from an external terminal which does not participate in the wireless network in which the wireless communication terminal has participated, using wireless communication. The connection setup unit makes each of participation requests received by the participation request receiving unit from a plurality of external terminals correspond to one trigger received by the trigger receiving unit. The connection setup unit performs a connection setup which makes each of the plurality of external terminals participate in the wireless network in response to each of the participation requests, in the order in which the participation requests are received. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110043663 | IMAGING TERMINAL, DISPLAY TERMINAL, DISPLAY METHOD, AND IMAGING SYSTEM - An imaging unit sequentially outputs original image data into which a light flux incident on an imaging area has been photoelectrically converted in a frame. An image processing unit generates image data of a first image size from original image data of a portion corresponding to a first area within the imaging area. A magnification generation unit generates image data of a second image size from original image data of a portion corresponding to a second area as a partial area within the first area. A transmission image generation unit extracts a part from the image data of the first image size and the image data of the second image size in the frame unit. A WLAN interface wirelessly sequentially transmits image data of the first image size and image data of the second image size extracted. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110058536 | WIRELESS NETWORK SELECTION APPARATUS - A wireless network selection apparatus comprises a storage unit, a transmitting unit, a first receiving unit, and a second receiving unit. The storage unit stores first connection setting information to join a first wireless network and second connection setting information to join a second wireless network which is different from the first wireless network. The transmitting unit transmits the first connection setting information or the second connection setting information to an external communication terminal. The first receiving unit receives a request to transmit the first connection setting information transmitted from the transmitting unit. The second receiving unit is provided in the same housing as that in which the first receiving unit is provided and receives a request to transmit the second connection setting information transmitted from the transmitting unit. | 03-10-2011 |
