In this unit: a television-broadcast reception section | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090276465 | Information Recording/Reproducing Device, Information Recording/Reproducing Method, Information Recording/Reproducing Program, and Computer-Readable Recording Medium Containing the Information Recording/Reproducing Program - A single entity of contents information is recorded across plural recording media, and seamless reproduction is enabled by ensuring a reproduction sequence. A contents control unit | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100182447 | CAMERA DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD - Camera device includes an imaging unit, a communications unit, an identified area detection unit, and an image data processing unit. The imaging unit images an area in a shooting field to obtain image data. The communications unit communicates with a memory device that stores subject information, and obtains the subject information. The identified area detection unit dynamically detects an identified area corresponding to the subject. The image data processing unit specifies a protected area in the identified area based on the subject information, and applies protection only to the protected area when the subject is a protection target. This structure provides the camera device that generates image data in which a subject to be protected is obscured in an imaged subject. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20090245669 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - An image processor includes an encoding unit encoding inputted data. The encoding unit includes a first processing unit splitting the data into a first partial data in a first digit range on an upper side and a second partial data in a second digit range on a lower side, a second processing unit encoding only the first partial data between the first partial data and the second partial data, and a third processing unit performing correction to set a value of the first partial data at “0”. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090245674 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - An image processor includes a quantization unit receiving first data before quantization and outputting second data after quantization, a prediction unit obtaining a difference value between the second data and third data being prediction data and outputting the difference value as fourth data, and an encoding unit encoding the fourth data. The quantization unit includes a first processing unit dividing the first data by a quantization coefficient, so as to obtain fifth data including a fraction as a result of division and a second processing unit rounding up or rounding off the fraction such that a value of the fourth data becomes smaller based on comparison between the third data and the fifth data, so as to obtain the second data. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100086223 | IMAGE PROCESSOR - A decoding unit includes a first processing unit including ND decoding units and decoding a group of Normal Data, a second processing unit decoding a group of Flex Bits, and a selector. The ND decoding units perform decoding of the group of Normal Data, stepwise varying a start position of decoding in the data stream, concurrently with decoding of the group of Flex Bits by the second processing unit. The selector selects one ND decoding unit with a start position of decoding being set at a position immediately following an end position of the group of Flex Bits, from the ND decoding units, based on a result of decoding of the group of Flex Bits. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100104206 | IMAGE COMPRESSION APPARATUS - An image compression apparatus performs quantization of DC component data, low-pass component data and high-pass component data which are generated by frequency conversion of still image data. An extracting part extracts additional data and coding object data which is to be entropy coded, from quantization data. An entropy coding part performs entropy coding of the coding object data stored in a coding object data memory. An additional data processing part generates a flex bit from the additional data. A pattern information generation part acquires the coding object data directly from the extracting part, to generate pattern information indicating whether the coding object data is zero or not. A bit stream generation part outputs the pattern information, the coding object data and the flex bit in a predetermined order, to output a bit stream. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100128999 | IMAGE COMPRESSION APPARATUS - A symbol generation part serially inputs a data string of quantization data. If quantization data of non-zero coefficient is inputted, respective information on an absolute value, a zero run and a sign of the non-zero coefficient are stored in registers. When quantization data of the next non-zero coefficient is inputted, the respective information on the absolute value, the zero run and the sign stored in the registers are updated. At that time, the contents of the registers which have been stored immediately before the input are outputted as symbol data of the immediately preceding non-zero coefficient. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20120010773 | DRIVING DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR SAME - When an accelerator is put in an OFF state to decelerate a vehicle and perform inertia travel with supply of fuel being cut off, measurement of an accelerator OFF lapse time is started. When a travel speed falls down to be lower than a pre-stop speed, a measured lapse time is stored in a memory, with the measurement of the lapse time being further continued. After finishing a travel of a downward slope, the travel speed is reduced to fall down to the pre-stop speed again, a lapse time continuously measured up to that time is updated in the memory. When the travel speed falls to a stop speed, the measurement of the lapse time is finished and the continuously-measured lapse time is determined as a required stop time of the vehicle. As the required stop time increases, driving is diagnosed as being fuel-efficient. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120011122 | APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING GETTING-IN RECORD AND GETTING-OFF RECORD OF VEHICLE, AND METHOD OF THE SAME - An apparatus for connecting getting-in and off records of a vehicle includes: a driving information memory unit for storing getting-in and off records having a pair of getting-in and getting-off records, each of which represents a getting-in or off time and place; a grouping unit for grouping the getting-in or off records representing a same getting-in or off time zone and place, so that segmentalized getting-in or off groups are generated; a connecting unit for searching a segmentalized getting-in group connected to one segmentalized getting-off group, and for storing connection information between a searched segmentalized getting-in group and the one segmentalized getting-off group; and an estimating unit for specifying a getting-off time and a getting-off point when the getting-off action of the driver is detected, and estimating a getting-in time for a next driving according to the connection information. | 01-12-2012 |
