  • Patent number: 9612665
    Abstract: A distance measuring unit measures a distance from a picked-up image by an image pickup unit to a tip portion of a finger. When the measured distance is less than a reference distance, a CPU displays an identification mark at a position corresponding to the finger on a display image, and takes in a locus of the finger as a handwritten character/figure. When the measured distance is the reference distance or more, the CPU hides the identification mark, and does not take in the locus of the finger as the handwritten character/figure.

  • Publication number: 20150180583
    Abstract: [Problem] In relation to optical communication of a wavelength-division multiplex method, provided is an an optical transmission device capable of performing transmission of an optical signal wherein the influence of waveform distortion or the like generated when the optical signal passes through a device or the like on a transmission line is suppressed, and deterioration of waveform is accordingly small. [Means for solution] The optical transmission device comprises a multiplexing means 80, an amplification means 81 and an optical signal correction means 82. The multiplexing means 80 multiplexes together optical signals inputted to it by means of paths in accordance with respective channels of the optical signals, and outputs thus produced signal as a multiplexed signal. The amplification means 81 amplifies the multiplexed signal and outputs thus produced signal as an amplified signal.

  • Patent number: 8717601
    Abstract: For a web application which takes time to execute processing, Internet connection between a web browser and the web application needs to be maintained until the completion of processing. In a web application server which provides conversion processing from document data into print data, the conversion processing itself is provided as a software process asynchronous with the web application. The web application only accepts a conversion processing execution request. The progress is confirmed using Comet communication, and the web server delays a response to an HTTP request.
