Patent number: 10999487Abstract: To enable satisfactory simultaneous and widely varied pictures to be obtained, for example, by allowing a common user to obtain an overall picture while the common user performing desired image capturing, or the like. A first image capturing device image-captures a subject to record this image, and also transmits a trigger signal to a second image capturing device. The second image capturing device image-captures an image to record this image in accordance with the trigger signal. Thus, the first and second image capturing devices enable both of an overall image and a zoomed image to be obtained with simultaneous timing.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Kotaro Kashiwa, Kazuyuki Marukawa, Wataru Kato, Yukihiro Ohzeki

Patent number: 10068158Abstract: First image data captured by a first image pickup apparatus and second image data captured by a second image pickup apparatus are stored in storing means. Thus, it is possible to correlate images with each other by using identification information of a user or the image pickup apparatus and identification information of an image capturing time, an image capturing position, or an image pickup target (event). Further, the correlated image data is edited on the basis of editing structure data, thereby generating album image data.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kotaro Kashiwa, Kazuyuki Marukawa, Yukihiro Ohzeki

Publication number: 20170125025Abstract: To provide a transmission method of an arbitrary signal using an acoustic sound hardly affecting the mood (quality) of the original acoustic sound even if an arbitrary signal within an audible frequency range is combined into the acoustic sound such as music. The method comprises a step of finding a separable sound, of which a fundamental element (fundamental sound) b2 contributing mainly to recognition of a single sound and an additional element contributing collaterally to recognition of the single sound are separable on temporal axis or frequency axis, among plural sounds composing the acoustic sound, or inserting a separable sound into the plural sounds composing the acoustic sound. The additional element of the separable sound found or inserted is transcribed by a signal pattern b1-1, b1-2 of the arbitrary signal. By means of the acoustic sound of which additional element is transcribed, the arbitrary signal b1-1, b1-2 is transmitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2014Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Masuo Karasawa, Kotaro Kashiwa, Tao Lin

Patent number: 8244104Abstract: A system for creating content using content project data selects a template containing a setting of a scene arrangement of a plurality of scenes of content and creates content project data for a scene included in the selected template by setting details of the scene using existing material data or newly created data. On an imaging apparatus, a scene is selected while checking the details of the content project data on a display, and an image is captured to generate a video image signal, and the video image signal is recorded. The recorded video image signal is managed by management information for the content project data so that the video image signal is allocated to the scene arrangement of the content project data. At the time necessary scenes are shot, the content project data becomes completed content.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Kotaro Kashiwa
