  • Publication number: 20170195432
    Abstract: A communication system includes first and second communication apparatuses. The first apparatus stores, when a service executed by a second wireless communication method is selected, service information corresponding to the service which can be read by the second apparatus by a first wireless communication method; and communicates with the second apparatus by the second wireless communication method. The second apparatus reads the service information from the first apparatus by the first wireless communication method; determines whether a service corresponding to the service information is executable; transmits a message indicating whether the service corresponding to the service information is executable to the first apparatus; and executes, when the service corresponding to the service information is executable, the service corresponding to the service information with the first apparatus by communication according to the second wireless communication method.

  • Patent number: 9338414
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit that has image sensors for each image of red, green, and blue which have a two-line addition function respectively. The imaging unit outputs image signals of red and blue and an image signal of green of which sample phases in a space are shifted by one pixel interval in a vertical direction using the two-line addition function. A resolution conversion unit obtains image signals of red, green, and blue of which the number of lines is doubled by performing interpolation processing on the image signals of red and blue and an image signal of green output from the imaging unit.
