Publication number: 20030020008Abstract: The position of a light blocking object is detected not only within a display screen, but also outside the display screen. With the use of the function of detecting the position in a region outside the display screen, it becomes possible to provide virtual buttons in this region and detect dust around a light retro-reflector. Dirt on the light retro-reflector is detected based on the levels of light receiving signals of optical units.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2002Publication date: January 30, 2003Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Yasuhide Iwamoto, Satoshi Sano, Fumihiko Nakazawa, Nobuyasu Yamaguchi

Patent number: 6492633Abstract: In order to measure a scanning light cut-off region, an output of a light receiving element and a threshold value set by an MPU are compared by a comparator and a region where the former is smaller than the latter is measured as the scanning light cut-off region. During one cycle of optical scanning, this threshold value is switched in a plurality of stages according to the scanning angle. By accurately measuring the scanning light cut-off region, the correct position and size of an indicator such as a finger or pen are calculated.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2001Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Fumihiko Nakazawa, Satoshi Sano, Atsuo Iida, Nobuyasu Yamaguchi, Yasuhide Iwamoto

Publication number: 20020032815Abstract: A user specifies image data to be transferred and the conversion form of the image data. An information processing device instructs an image data obtaining device to transfer the specified image data. The transferred image data is converted into data in the form specified by the user. The image data to be transferred and the specification of its conversion form are simultaneously received, so that the image data is transferred and converted at the same time. Accordingly, user operations are reduced and user operability can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Inventors: Hirotaka Chiba, Nobuyasu Yamaguchi, Kenichiro Sakai, Tsugio Noda

Publication number: 20010055006Abstract: Laser light emitted by a light emitting element is made parallel light by a collimation lens, passes through an aperture of an aperture mirror, and is then angularly scanned in a plane substantially parallel to a display screen by rotation of a polygon mirror and projected onto a recurrence reflection sheet. Then, after the reflected light from the recurrence reflection sheet is reflected by the polygon mirror and aperture mirror, the light is focused by a condenser lens to enter a light receiving element. The aperture mirror has an asymmetrical shape in the scanning direction and/or the vertical direction about the optical axis, according to a scanning surface opening width of the polygon mirror.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2001Publication date: December 27, 2001Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Satoshi Sano, Yasuhide Iwamoto, Fumihiko Nakazawa, Nobuyasu Yamaguchi

Publication number: 20010028737Abstract: The present invention concerns an image processing device and an image processing method for processing a decoded image, and its objective is to optimally binarize a decoded original. After the respective density histograms of colors R, G, and B have been drawn, the hierarchical relationship between the low-density-side peak value and high-density-side peak value is investigated.
