| 20090232471 | Information Recording Apparatus - An information recording/reproducing apparatus capable of simplifying settings of a scene breakpoint includes a voice recognition unit and a control unit. At a timing when the voice recognition unit extracts a feature during recording, the control units sets a scene breakpoint and generates a thumbnail at the same time. During reproduction, the thumbnail and voices when the feature was extracted are output at the same time. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090297051 | Image Processing Apparatus - An image processing apparatus is configured to have units for compressing and expanding image data and an arbitrating unit for arbitrating control units for executing image processing so that the compressing and expanding units are located between the arbitrating unit and the control units respectively. The apparatus further includes the circuits for compressing and expanding the image data in a reversible manner and a nonreversible manner so that the compressing and expanding manner may be switched according to the image processing condition. When treating a large amount of image data, this configuration makes it possible to reduce the number of accesses to memory and make effective use of a bandwidth, thereby being able to reduce the power consumption. Since the bandwidth is reduced and the random access to memory is made possible, more image processing capabilities may be provided so that the operability of this apparatus is enhanced. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100027957 | Motion Picture Reproduction Apparatus - In a motion picture reproduction apparatus, a picture decoding unit decodes picture coded data read out of a storage unit and a reproduction information extraction unit extracts reproduction information such as motion vector, brightness and color difference information to utilize it as a parameter for selection of additional motion picture. An additional motion picture pattern production unit reads out an additional motion picture pattern associated with the reproduction information from an additional motion picture pattern storage unit and the additional motion picture pattern is combined with reproduced motion picture in a reproduced motion picture combining unit to be outputted to a monitoring unit through a display unit, so that additional motion picture different for each reproduction can be combined and displayed in accordance with the reproduced motion picture. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100329640 | Recording/Reproducing Apparatus - A recording/reproducing apparatus, for enabling recording/reproducing of a three-dimensional (3D) video stream, by taking a display environment into the consideration thereof, comprises: a stream distinguishing means for distinguishing the three-dimensional (3D) video stream; a 3D/2D stream converting for converting the three-dimensional (3D) video stream distinguished by the stream distinguishing means into a two-dimensional (2D) video stream; and a conversion indicating means for indicating to execute the 3D/2D conversion, wherein the three-dimensional (3D) video stream is converted into the two-dimensional (2D) video stream by the 3D/2D stream means, when the 3D/2D conversion is indicted in the conversion indicating means. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110235929 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE ENCODING - An image encoding method for encoding an image using intra coding and interframe coding is offered. A refreshing area in which image refreshing is performed by intra coding is established. The refreshing area is shifted in an equal increment every frame such that the refreshing area traverses through the whole frame periodically. Where a macroblock that have passed through the refreshing area is interframe coded, a motion compensation vector of the macroblock is selected such that an image which has passed through the refreshing area is referenced. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110242296 | STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A stereoscopic image display device, for outputting left and right two (2) pieces of output videos, by superimposing an OSD (On Screen Display) on left and right two (2) pieces of output images, comprises: a disparity correction portion for correcting disparity of the input images, thereby outputting corrected images; and an OSD superimpose for superimposing the OSD on each of the corrected image, thereby outputting output images, wherein correction is made in such that the disparity of the corrected images in jumping out direction comes to be small, when displaying the OSD, and thereby lightening visual fatigue due to the fact that an object on the input image is seen in front than the OSD. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110243468 | IMAGE CODING APPARATUS - A refresh area is taken advantage of when a series of images are coded using Intra-frame coding and Inter-frame coding, a partial area of an image being forcefully Intra-frame coded (Intra MBs) in the refresh area. As the prediction mode for prediction of the Intra MBs inside the refresh area, a prediction mode is selected where the prediction is executable based on only the image that exists inside the refresh area. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110247033 | VIDEO TRANSMISSION DEVICE, VIDEO RECEPTION DEVICE, AND VIDEO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A video communication system having: an encoder coding input video data and outputting a video stream; and a packet processing part grouping into packets the output video stream from said encoder and outputting the same to a communication path; wherein said packet processing part generates an original data cluster consolidating a packet for each group of a prescribed number of MB processes and redundant data for correcting data errors of said original data cluster; and controls the insertion quantity of redundant data so that the combined number of bits of said original data cluster and said redundant data works out to be equal to or less than the target number of bits. | 10-06-2011 |
