| 20080240563 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH FACE-RECOGNITION FUNCTION - The image pickup apparatus | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080266239 | Imaging device having display brightness control function - A control unit controls brightness of a liquid crystal display unit such that the brightness becomes darker as a distance between an electronic view finder and an operator measured by a distance measuring sensor becomes shorter. With this structure, even if the operator takes his or her eye off from the electronic view finder, the liquid crystal display unit is not switched from an OFF state to an ON state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the brightness of the liquid crystal display unit from becoming burdensome to an operator when the eye of the operator approaches the electronic view finder. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090059027 | APPARATUS INCLUDING FUNCTION TO SPECIFY IMAGE REGION OF MAIN SUBJECT FROM OBTAINED IMAGE, METHOD TO SPECIFY IMAGE REGION OF MAIN SUBJECT FROM OBTAINED IMAGE AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM TO SPECIFY IMAGE REGION OF MAIN SUBJECT FROM OBTAINED IMAGE - Disclosed is an image pickup apparatus 100 including a sound obtaining section | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090316016 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS HAVING FUNCTION TO DETECT SPECIFIC SUBJECT - Disclosed is an image pickup apparatus | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100091135 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD OF DETERMINING PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF IMAGE AREA, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A detecting unit detects any image area corresponding to a subject from the first image which is reduced resolution of an image that captured by an image capturing unit. With no image area detected as corresponding to the subject, a first control unit deems that an image area corresponding to the subject is absent in the image that captured by the image capturing unit. On the other hand, when the detecting unit detects an image area corresponding to the subject, a first determining unit determines whether or not the image area that detected by the detecting unit is an image area corresponding to the subject. If the area is determined to correspond to the subject, a second control unit deems that an image area corresponding to the subject is present in the image that captured by the image capturing unit. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110090368 | IMAGING APPARATUS INCLUDING FUNCTION FOR PERFORMING IMAGING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SETS OF IMAGING PARAMETERS CORRESPONDING TO PRE-REGISTERED IMAGING SCENES, AND METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING PROGRAM STORED THEREON FOR THE SAME - When a continuous imaging mode is set, a screen is displayed for allowing input of a number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images, a determination is made as to whether the number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images have been input by the user. When the number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images have been input, the input number of images and the imaging parameters are stored, and a direct image display is started. Moreover, when there is an imaging instruction, a continuous imaging process is started in which still imaging is performed continuously based on the stored number of images and the imaging parameters. When the continuous imaging process has been completed, the plurality of still image data, obtained with differing imaging parameters, is recorded. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110141305 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Without depending on the conventional standard, relationships between a location of user's apparatus and locations where images have been shot affect a display on a display screen. In shooting operation, image data is stored in a memory with image-location data added, which represents locations where images have been shot (step S | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100162497 | BOARDING BRIDGE - It is an object to provide a boarding bridge that can guide passengers to a predetermined gangway at the distal end and in which safety can be improved. A boarding bridge is provided which includes a proximal-end tunnel and a distal-end tunnel telescopically fitted together and capable of relative movement in a longitudinal direction; and a traveling unit mounted at the lower part of a movable leg that supports the distal-end tunnel and moving the movable leg by traveling; wherein the traveling unit includes a pair of traveling devices disposed with a certain distance therebetween in the widthwise direction of the distal-end tunnel, the traveling devices each having an axle rotatable about a vertically extending axis, a plurality of tires rotatably mounted to the axle with a certain distance therebetween, and a traveling motor that rotationally drives the axle; and a rotation synchronizing member that synchronizes the rotation angles of the axles in the pair of traveling devices. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100325818 | CONNECTING PORTION FOR BOARDING BRIDGE AND BOARDING BRIDGE - It is provided a connecting portion for a boarding bridge that eliminates the level difference between the doorway portion of the aircraft and the passage, reduces the anxiety of the passengers, and can be raised and lowered smoothly. A passage ( | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110000029 | BOARDING BRIDGE - A boarding bridge is provided that has an inexpensive, trouble-free, and strong construction, that eliminates the level differences between the passage portions of adjacent passage sections, and can reduce the occurrence of passengers falling and the like. In the boarding bridge ( | 01-06-2011 |
