Patent number: 11837199Abstract: An image transmission apparatus, an image transmission method, and a program enable a transmission destination to display an image similar to the image displayed at a transmission source. A display target image generation section generates a display target image having a display non-target region reflecting settings of a safe area of a display section. A display control section causes the display section to display an actual display image constituting a portion of the display target image. A transmission image generation section generates a transmission image that represents a portion of the display target image and excludes at least a portion of the display non-target region. A transmission section transmits the transmission image.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Toru Ogiso, Masato Mitsutake, Sachiyo Aoki, Michiko Matsumura

Patent number: 8212830Abstract: An image converter converts an image rendered at a given vertical synchronous frequency into an image compatible with the specification of a display. A frame memory holds the image converted by the image converter by switching a plurality of buffers. A display controller selects one of the buffers in accordance with the vertical synchronous frequency of the display, and scans out the image from the frame memory accordingly. A switch instruction issuing unit issues a frame buffer switch instruction for designating a frame buffer to scan out from subsequently, in synchronization with the vertical synchronous frequency of the display, instead of immediately after the execution of an image converting process by the image converter.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Toru Ogiso
