| 20090034937 | VIDEO RECORDING APPARATUS, SCENE CHANGE EXTRACTION METHOD, AND VIDEO AUDIO RECORDING APPARATUS - There are provided with a video recording apparatus and a scene change extraction method, by which a scene change can be extracted from a video while recording the video. The video recording apparatus | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090088878 | Method and Device for Detecting Music Segment, and Method and Device for Recording Data - The present invention is to provide a method of efficiently detecting music scenes from television broadcasts. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090102788 | Manipulation input device - When a vehicle navigation system is manipulated by taking pictures of a user hand motion and gesture with a camera, as the number of apparatuses and operational objects increases, the associated hand shapes and hand motions increase, thus causing a complex manipulation for a user. Furthermore, in detecting a hand with the camera, when the image of a face having color tone information similar to that of a hand appears in an image taken with a camera, or outside light rays such as sun rays or illumination rays vary, detection accuracy is reduced. To overcome such problems, a manipulation input device is provided that includes a limited hand manipulation determination unit and a menu representation unit, whereby a simple manipulation can be achieved and manipulation can accurately be determined. In addition, detection accuracy can be improved by a unit that selects a single result from results determined by a plurality of determination units, based on images taken with a plurality of cameras. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090319066 | AUDIO REPRODUCING APPARATUS - An audio reproducing apparatus has a correction coefficient holding means ( | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100053452 | TELEVISION RECEIVER - It is an object of the present invention to provide a television receiver for discriminating a CM broadcast from a received television broadcast and controlling a volume of the CM broadcast without complicating a configuration of a discriminating process of the CM broadcast. The present invention includes a silence detection means, a scene change detection means, a video audio changing point detection means, a first characteristic amount extraction means, a second characteristic amount extraction means, a comparison determining means and a volume control means. The comparison determining means compares the first characteristic amount which is an audio characteristic amount of a television signal before the time when the video audio changing point is detected, and the second characteristic amount which is an audio characteristic amount of a television signal after the time when the video audio changing point is detected, to determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied or not. The volume control means controls an output level when outputting audio of the television signal on the basis of a result of the comparison determining means. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100215346 | AUDIO-VIDEO RECORDING DEVICE - Problem: It is to automatically recognize CM-broadcast periods, while video-recording television broadcast, without interfering with simultaneous access action to the medium for video-recording the television broadcast. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100232765 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING MUSIC SEGMENT, AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECORDING DATA - [Problem] The present invention provides a method of detecting a music scene with a high accuracy from a television broadcast. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20120018117 | INDOOR UNIT OF AIR CONDITIONER AND AIR CONDITIONER - An indoor unit includes a casing having a suction port formed in an upper part and a blow-out port formed on a lower side at a front face part, an axial-flow or diagonal-flow fan provided on the downstream side of the suction port in the casing, and a heat exchanger provided on the downstream side of the fan and on the upstream side of the blow-out port in the casing, in which air blown out of the fan and refrigerant are heat-exchanged. | 01-26-2012 |
