  • Patent number: 10388027
    Abstract: Provided is a position detection method using a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit that each capture an image of an object. The detection method may include: acquiring a first captured image with use of the first imaging unit; acquiring a second captured image with use of the second imaging unit; defining a position vector of the object based on the first captured image; calculating a first direction vector directed from the second imaging unit to the object with use of the defined position vector; calculating a second direction vector directed from the second imaging unit to the object based on the second captured image; and calculating a position of the object based on the first direction vector and the second direction vector.

  • Publication number: 20170068418
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, and an operation method of an electronic apparatus are disclosed. A display performs a display in a display area. A detector detects an operation performed on the display area by an operator. The display displays, in the display area, a cursor for selecting a display object to be displayed in the display area. The display moves the cursor in the display area in accordance with a movement of the operator in the display area detected by the detector and moves the cursor by an amount of movement greater than an amount of movement of the operator. When the cursor approaches within a predetermined distance of a display object in the display area, the display snaps the cursor to the display object in such a manner that the display object is selected by the operator.

  • Patent number: 8749503
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a plurality of touch points on a touch panel is disclosed. A touch position detector comprises a touch panel, a detection module and an identification module. The touch panel comprises n+1 groups of mutually-parallel electrodes, and at least two of the n+1 groups are arranged at a predefined angle, where n is an integer. The detection module detects position information for each of the n+1 groups, and the position information corresponds to n touched positions on the touch panel. The identification module identifies the n touched positions based on the position information and the predefined angle.

  • Publication number: 20100242694
    Abstract: The invention provides a vertical turret lathe capable of preventing an inner diameter turning tool attached to a turret tool rest from interfering with a workpiece during machining of the outer diameter of the workpiece. The vertical turret lathe comprises a work table that holds a workpiece W1 and rotates, and a working head 40 having a turret tool rest 50 and capable of moving in X-axis and Z-axis directions. A tool holder 70 for holding an inner diameter turning tool T2 via hydraulic pressure is attached to a part of the tool supporting portions 60 of the turret tool rest. The automatic tool changer apparatus 100 includes a turret-type tool magazine 120 and pistons 160 and 162, which mechanically press the pins 74 and 76 of the tool holder 70 and clamp or unclamp the tool T2.

  • Publication number: 20100245275
    Abstract: A user interface apparatus includes two touch panels. A drag & drop operation over the two touch panels is described. Adjacent first and second touch panels display a display object, and a location of a designated point related to a display object is determined based on certain conditions. The display object is then displayed on one of the touch panels at the determined location.
