  • Patent number: 11783699
    Abstract: An intersection information distribution apparatus includes a plurality of image capturers, one or more first wireless communicators, a position estimator, and a controller. The plurality of image capturers capture images in and around an intersection. The one or more first wireless communicators perform directional communication with a second wireless communicator mounted on a vehicle. The position estimator estimates a position of the vehicle in and around the intersection from a communication state of the directional communication. The controller selects a piece of data from among pieces of data of the images captured by the plurality of image capturers on the basis of the estimated position of the vehicle. The one or more first wireless communicators transmit the selected piece of data to the second wireless communicator of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11647305
    Abstract: Disclosed are a solid-state imaging apparatus, a signal processing method of a solid-state imaging apparatus, and an electronic device, which are capable of correcting uneven sensitivities generated by multiple factors in a broad area and realizing the higher-precision image quality. A correction circuit 710 weight a sensitivity Pi corresponding to a pixel signal of each pixel related to correction in a pixel unit PU that is the correction target and a sensitivity Pi corresponding to a pixel signal of each pixel related to correction in at least one same color pixel unit PU and adjacent to the pixel unit PU that is the correction target by a weighting coefficient Wi. Consequently, the correction coefficient ? is calculated by dividing a sum of the weighted sensitivities by a total number n of pixels related to correction.

  • Patent number: 10015645
    Abstract: Provided is a content delivery system in which a content delivery server delivers content to a content delivery client. The content delivery client transmits content using first wireless communication, detects the area of second wireless communication, and if it determines that sufficient free space is not present in a first storage thereof, transmits a part of data stored in the first storage to the content delivery server using the second wireless communication. The content delivery server makes free space in the first storage by temporarily storing the data in a second storage thereof and then delivers content using the second wireless communication on the basis of the control information.
