To overlay a rendered image with a stereoscopic video image to be displayed in the i-th frame period, a process of writing to a left-view plan memory and a process of writing to a right-view plane memory both need to be completed before the start of the i-th frame period. To simultaneously request the two rendering processes, the argument of an application interface includes a pair of specifications, one specifying writing to the left-view plane memory and the other specifying writing to the right-view plane memory. | 09-09-2010 |
20110080462 | PLAYBACK DEVICE, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO PLAYBACK - Inconsistency between a left-view video image and a right-view video image possibly occurs in a playback device having a function of switching between a monoscopic playback mode for monoscopically playing back video images and a stereoscopic playback mode for stereoscopically playing back video images. The present invention aims to prevent such inconsistency when switching from the monoscopic playback mode to the stereoscopic playback mode. Specifically, the present invention prevents the inconsistency by invalidating a rendering request which is Graphics#drawImage, copying a content stored in the left-view graphics plane to a right-view graphics plane, switching a graphics plane setting after the copying, and then removing prohibition of a rendering request which is StereoGraphics#drawImage. | 04-07-2011 |
20110293238 | CONTENT EDITING APPARATUS - Provided is a content editing apparatus which, while selecting and deselecting a plurality of contents, edits the plurality of contents such that selected contents are appropriately associated with each other so as to be simultaneously reproduced. Moving image shooting information which identifies a shooting time of a moving image content, individual shooting information which indicates shooting times of a plurality of other contents, and the moving image content, are acquired. The moving image content is reproduced and displayed. A moving image shooting time corresponding to the moving image content is outputted based on the moving image shooting information, and such individual shooting information that an individual time indicated by the individual shooting information is within a predetermined time period including the outputted moving image shooting time, is retrieved. When the individual shooting information is retrieved, the reproduction of the moving image content is paused, and a user is made select whether or not an other content, which corresponds to each of the retrieved individual shooting information, is to be displayed in link with the moving image content. An other content selected to be displayed in link is acquired, and stored in association with the moving image content, together with information indicating a time for a link display. | 12-01-2011 |
20120099843 | PLAYBACK DEVICE FOR STEREOSCOPIC VIEWING, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND PROGRAM - Ocular strain is reduced for the viewer by reducing extreme changes of depth value occurring at stereoscopic scene jumps, dimension switches from 2D to 3D video, and the like. A playback device includes a video plane and a depth value memory for storing depth values of a plurality of stereoscopic video frames. The depth value memory stores the depth values of a plurality of frames, at least including a destination frame, and of a starting frame. When a request to switch from 2D to 3D video or to switch scenes within 3D video is received, switch timing control or destination frame depth value adjustment is performed so as to reduce the occurrence of extreme depth value changes and provide smooth switching. | 04-26-2012 |

20130070052 | VIDEO PROCESING DEVICE, SYSTEM, VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD, AND VIDEO PROCESSING PROGRAM CAPABLE OF CHANGING DEPTH OF STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO IMAGES - A video processing device is one of multiple devices in a home theater system. Upon connection to another device, a depth adjustment determination module determines whether depth adjustment of two or more view components is necessary for playback of stereoscopic video images. When depth adjustment is necessary, a capability comparison module performs a communications sequence to determine which device will perform the depth adjustment. When it is determined during the communications sequence that the video processing device itself is to perform the depth adjustment, it does so and then transmits the resulting adjusted two or more view components to the other device. When it is determined that the other device is to perform the depth adjustment, the video processing device transmits the two or more view components without performing depth adjustment. | 03-21-2013 |

20130100132 | IMAGE RENDERING DEVICE, IMAGE RENDERING METHOD, AND IMAGE RENDERING PROGRAM FOR RENDERING STEREOSCOPIC IMAGES - An image rendering device realizes stereoscopic viewing of composite images generated by compositing background three-dimensional models and foreground three-dimensional models each defined in three-dimensional modeling space. A texture mapping unit converts background image data into two or more viewpoint textures and maps each viewpoint texture to a background three-dimensional model in the three-dimensional modeling space. A viewport conversion unit extracts, for each of the two or more viewpoint textures, a viewport image from the background three-dimensional model mapped with the viewpoint texture and from the foreground three-dimensional model. By comparing a parallax of the foreground three-dimensional model occurring in stereoscopic playback with a parallax of the intra-texture object occurring in stereoscopic playback, the device determines depth relationship between the foreground three-dimensional model and the intra-texture object and adjusts positional relationship between the foreground three-dimensional model and the intra-texture object based on a result of the determination. | 04-25-2013 |
20130188028 | PLAYBACK DEVICE, PLAYBACK METHOD AND PROGRAM - The present disclosure decreases or avoids tearing at a time when a stereoscopic image is updated, without increasing the capacity of memory. The stereoscopic image playback apparatus extracts a set of rendering requests for a left image plane and a right image plane from the BD-J application, and prevents a discord between update timing of an image for the left eye and an image for the right eye by adjusting an actual rendering timing or rendering order depending on an operation of an image output side. This enables an image update which relatively does not make viewers uncomfortable. | 07-25-2013 |
