20130128818 | RADIO APPARATUS - A control unit, in cooperation with an interface (IF) unit, a modulation unit and a baseband processing unit, produces a packet signal composed of a plurality of streams. While using as a reference a first known signal assigned to one of the plurality of streams and performing a cyclic timing shift within the first known signal on a first known signal assigned to another stream, the control unit performs a timing shift also on an extensional known signal assigned to a stream where no data is assigned. The amounts of timing shift are given degrees of priority beforehand and for the stream where data signals are assigned the control unit uses the amounts of timing shift in descending degree of priority. For the stream where no data signal is assigned, the control unit uses the amounts of timing shift also in descending degree of priority. | 05-23-2013 |
20130155286 | ELECTRONIC CAMERA - An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager repeatedly outputs an electronic image corresponding to an optical image captured on an imaging surface. A displayer displays the electronic image outputted from the imager, in parallel with a process of the imager. An adjuster adjusts an imaging condition based on the electronic image outputted from the imager when a specific key is transitioned to a first operation state. A recorder records the electronic image outputted from the imager under the imaging condition adjusted by the adjuster, in response to transition of the specific key to a second operation state. A stopper stops the imager and/or the displayer during a period of non-operation of the specific key when a battery voltage falls below a first reference value. | 06-20-2013 |
20130155291 | ELECTRONIC CAMERA - An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager has an imaging surface capturing an optical image representing a scene, and repeatedly outputs an electronic image corresponding to the optical image. An adjuster adjusts an imaging condition with reference to a partial image belonging to an adjustment area assigned to the imaging surface. A searcher repeatedly searches for a specific object image from the electronic image. An updater updates an arrangement of the adjustment area in a manner different depending on an attribute of the specific object image. A setter sets the arrangement of the adjustment area to a predetermined arrangement when a time period during which non-detection of the searcher continues has reached a threshold value. A controller controls a magnitude of the threshold value so that the magnitude increases as a specific object equivalent to the specific object image is close to a center of the scene. | 06-20-2013 |
20130156137 | RECEIVING APPARATUS THAT RECEIVES PACKET SIGNAL - An RF unit receives predetermined signals. The RF unit amplifies the received signals. A gain control unit controls the gain at the RF unit based on the amplified signal and has the RF unit use the controlled gain. The gain control unit performs different controls on the received signals, depending on the case when the received signal is a known signal placed in the beginning of packet signal and the case when the received signal is a signal other than the packet signal. | 06-20-2013 |
20130162576 | USER INTERFACE APPARATUS - A user interface apparatus includes a first updater. A first updater updates a display of a monitor screen according to a first rule when a touch operation of a first manner to the monitor screen is detected. A second updater updates the display of the monitor screen according to a second rule when a touch operation of a second manner to the monitor screen is detected. A displayer displays a specific icon on the monitor screen when an updating manner of the display of the monitor screen satisfies an error condition. A specific updater updates the display of the monitor screen according to the first rule when a touch operation to the specific icon displayed by the displayer is detected. | 06-27-2013 |
20130182141 | ELECTRONIC CAMERA - An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager has an imaging surface capturing an optical image representing a scene, and repeatedly outputs an electronic image corresponding to the optical image. A searcher searches for a characteristic image representing a characteristic portion of a specific object from the electronic image outputted from the imager. A detector detects a direction of the specific object based on a distortion of the characteristic image detected by the searcher. An assigner assigns an adjustment area to a position in which an offset inhibiting a difference between the direction detected by the detector and a predetermined direction is appended, by using a position covering the characteristic image detected by the searcher as a reference. An adjuster adjusts an imaging condition based on a partial image belonging to the adjustment area out of the electronic image outputted from the imager. | 07-18-2013 |
20130194311 | IMAGE REPRODUCING APPARATUS - An image reproducing apparatus includes a first displayer. A first displayer displays a photographed image having a size equivalent to a size of a monitor screen, on the monitor screen. A first changer changes a position of the photographed image displayed by the first displayer when a position changing operation is sensed so as to ensure a vacant region in a peripheral portion of the monitor screen. A second displayer displays attribute information indicating an attribute of the photographed image displayed by the first displayer, in the vacant region ensured by the first changer. | 08-01-2013 |
20130205261 | USER INTERFACE APPARATUS - A user interface apparatus includes a first displayer. A first displayer displays any one of a plurality of images on a monitor screen. A first updater updates an image to be displayed by the first displayer according to a first rule when a first touch operation to the monitor screen is detected. A second displayer displays a specific icon on the monitor screen when an updating manner by the first updater satisfies a predetermined condition. A second updater updates the image to be displayed by the first displayer according to a second rule when a second touch operation to the specific icon displayed by the second displayer is detected. | 08-08-2013 |
