Patent number: 11303817Abstract: An active sensor includes a light projector configured to emit probe light, and an image sensor. The active sensor is configured to obtain a first image in a light emitting state of the light projector and a second image in a non-light emitting state of the light projector. The second image can be used for correcting the first image.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: KOITO MANUFACIURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Kensuke Arai

Patent number: 11267280Abstract: A decorative molded article has a light source disposed on a back side, for causing different designs to appear on a front surface side thereof, when the light source is off and when on, respectively. A base made of a predetermined synthetic resin permeable to light from the light source is disposed close to the light source. A wood veneer having a grain and permeable to light from the light source is disposed on a front side of the base. A colored coating layer is formed on a front side of the base using a paint having a predetermined color and a clear coating layer is formed on a front side of the colored coating layer using a transparent clear paint. The colored coating layer makes the grain difficult to visually recognize when the light source is off and visually recognizable when on.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA KAWAI GAKKI SEISAKUSHOInventor: Kensuke Arai

Publication number: 20210295065Abstract: An object identification system includes a camera and a processing device. The processing device includes a classifier subjected to machine learning based on the output image of the camera so as to allow it to identify an object. A gating camera divides a field of view in the depth direction into multiple ranges, and captures an image while changing the time difference between light projection and exposure for each range. The classifier is subjected to machine learning using multiple images IMG1 through IMGN generated by the gating camera as the learning data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Kensuke ARAI, Toru NAGASHIMA, Koji ITABA, Jun KANO

Patent number: 10898806Abstract: An information processing device includes a memory that stores character data of one or more first characters of a game and character data of one or more second characters owned by a user, a receiver that receives a game operation from the user, and a processor connected to the memory and the receiver. The processor updates character data of a third character selected from the one or more first characters, and outputs the updated character data to the memory. The processor extracts the same character as the third character from the one or more second characters based on reception of the game operation. The processor causes a display to display, to the user, a notification indicating that the character data of the same character has been updated.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: SEGA CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Otomo, Kensuke Arai, Hayato Hirai

Publication number: 20180280806Abstract: A game server connected to a plurality of game terminals via a communication network is disclosed including a receiver that receives a first request to register an invitation code for a game that is available for download, from a first game terminal operated by a first player, a memory, a processor connected to the memory and that causes the memory to register the invitation code in a state that allows acquisition from another game terminal, and a transmitter. The receiver receives a second request to acquire the invitation code from a second game terminal operated by a second player. The transmitter transmits the invitation code to the second game terminal in response to the reception of the second request. The processor causes the memory to register the invitation code based on the reception of the first request, regardless of whether or not the first player has a game play history.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2018Publication date: October 4, 2018Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA SEGA Games doing business as SEGA Games Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Otomo, Kensuke Arai
