Patent number: 10146431Abstract: A touch panel device is provided which, even in cases in which a plurality of GUI parts are arranged in a limited space, enables operation of a GUI part in which, unlike a physical button, it is hard to distinguish the boundary by touch, without operational error, using a finger with a very large contact area in comparison to a touch pen. A touch panel device includes a rectangular screen having a detection region which detects contact, and a control section for generating a control signal in response to the contact detected by the detection region. The detection region has a shape that is inclined with respect to a side edge of the rectangular screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: INTERDIGITAL CE PATENT HOLDINGSInventors: Koichi Abe, Shogo Tsubouchi

Patent number: 9552134Abstract: A pointer controlling apparatus, a control method, and a pointer controlling program are provided which can protect a button from erroneous operation without interrupting the operational flow or using excessive display area. The pointer controlling apparatus permits a pointer to move into a predetermined region after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the pointer comes into contact with a boundary line of the predetermined region. Accordingly, the predetermined area can be securely protected from a point in time at which the pointer comes into contact with the boundary line of the predetermined region for the predetermined amount of time. Furthermore, since the pointer is permitted to enter the predetermined region immediately after the predetermined time has elapsed, the predetermined region can be protected without interrupting the operational flow, and without using an excess of a display region.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: GVBB Holdings S.A.R.L.Inventors: Koichi Abe, Shogo Tsubouchi

Patent number: 6965723Abstract: A non-linear video edit system has first, second and third play modes which are selectable at time of playing a video for an edit. In the first play mode (EP TRIM), it plays a first cut scene (scene A) before an edit point and plays a second cut scene (scene B) after the edit point according to a play list. In the second play mode (PREV TRIM), it successively plays the first cut scene (scene A) before and after the edit point. In the third play mode (NEXT TRIM), it successively plays the second cut scene (scene B) before and after the edit point. These play modes allows to change the play speed in an arbitrary direction by a dial, and to switch the play mode with one touch of the corresponding three buttons with aligning current positions.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Grass Valley Group, Inc.Inventors: Koichi Abe, Yasushi Okamoto, Koji Matsuura, Shogo Tsubouchi
