Patent number: 11729493Abstract: An image capture apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an image generation unit, an edge detection unit, and a color control unit. The image generation unit generates a captured image by capturing a subject. The edge detection unit detects an edge portion included in the generated captured image. The color control unit controls a color of a highlighted display for highlighting the edge portion for each detected edge portion based on color information about the edge portion in the captured image.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventor: Hiro Kawakami

Patent number: 10983421Abstract: Provided is a video image converter that generates attitude data of a projector based on motion data in projecting moving picture data, stores the attitude data in a storage unit, corrects the moving picture data based on the attitude data, and stores the corrected moving picture data in the storage unit. The projector plays back the corrected moving picture data stored in the storage unit and projects the corrected moving picture data onto a projection plane. A cradle supports the projector and changes an attitude of the projector based on the attitude data stored in the storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hiro Kawakami, Takashi Norizuki, Minako Kawata

Patent number: 10887565Abstract: Display of an image projected on a projection plane is appropriately controlled. An information processing device is an information processing device including a control unit. Here, a projection unit projects and displays a part of an image to be displayed on a projection plane. In addition, the control unit included in the information processing device controls the image displayed on the projection plane on the basis of a display area of the image displayed on the projection plane specified on the basis of a relative positional relationship between a projection unit and the projection plane and control information associated with the image to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hiro Kawakami, Hitoshi Sakaguchi

Publication number: 20190025678Abstract: [Object] To suppress the load in playing back a moving picture in a projector having no advanced picture processing function. [Solution] A video image converter generates attitude data of a projector on a basis of motion data in projecting moving picture data, store the attitude data in a storage unit, correct the moving picture data in accordance with the attitude data, and store the corrected moving picture data in the storage unit. The projector plays back the corrected moving picture data stored in the storage unit and project the corrected moving picture data onto a projection plane. A cradle supports the projector and change an attitude of the projector in accordance with the attitude data stored in the storage unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2016Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: HIRO KAWAKAMI, TAKASHI NORIZUKI, MINAKO KAWATA

Patent number: 7940636Abstract: A recording medium of the recordable type in the form of a multi-layer disc or the like which is improved in compatibility and feasibility in use and a recording apparatus and a recording method ready for the recording medium are disclosed. A region for recording interlayer folding back position information is set on the recording medium (for example, “End sector number in Layer 0” or a session item type 3). In response to a fact that recording on a certain recording layer reaches a maximum recording range or that data recording advances from a certain recording layer to a next recording layer, interlayer folding back position information is recorded on the recording medium. This signifies that such recording is performed when advancement of the data recording to another recording layer is performed at a stage prior to disc closing or session closing or when it is predicted that such advancement of the data recording occurs soon.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yukio Shishido, Tetsuji Kawashima, Hiro Kawakami

Patent number: 7539114Abstract: User data is recorded in succession to the recording of a guard block on a next recording layer when the user data is recorded with a recording position shifted from one recording layer to the next recording layer. If a record start position of the user data is learned beforehand in the next recording layer, the guard block is formed on the next recording layer prior to the recording of the user data. In other words, when recording layer shifting is performed, an area ahead of the recording position of the user data becomes the guard block so that a replay signal for use in a pre-replay process is obtained beforehand in the replaying of the user data.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiro Kawakami, Yukio Shishido, Taku Watanabe
