  • Patent number: 11321897
    Abstract: An information processing device generating video data representing a video of a moving object in response to an instruction by a user includes a decision unit, a determination unit, a generation unit, and a warning unit. The decision unit decides a movement path of the object, based on an instruction by the user. The determination unit determines whether an object video showing the object moving along the movement path decided by the decision unit is equivalent to a video for repeated playback or not, based on the movement path. The generation unit generates video data based on the object video when the object video is determined by the determination unit as equivalent to the video for repeated playback. The warning unit warns the user when the object video is determined by the determination unit as not equivalent to the video for repeated playback.

  • Publication number: 20210370460
    Abstract: A wafer processing method in which a wafer including devices on a front surface side is processed. The method includes a wafer-with-protective-component forming step of forming the wafer with a protective component through sticking the protective component formed of a resin that softens by heat to the front surface side by pressing and heating the protective component, a thickness measurement step of measuring a thickness of the protective component in the wafer with the protective component, and a grinding step of holding the wafer with the protective component by a chuck table and grinding a back surface side of the wafer until a thickness of the wafer becomes an intended finished thickness. In the grinding step, the thickness of the protective component measured in the thickness measurement step is subtracted from a total thickness of the wafer with the protective component to calculate the thickness of the wafer.

  • Patent number: 11164547
    Abstract: There is provided a method for controlling a terminal apparatus that includes a first display section and a motion sensor that detects the attitude of the first display section with respect to the gravity direction and supplies image data to a display apparatus including a second display section. The method includes causing the motion sensor to detect the vertical direction, rotating a source image in accordance with the detected vertical direction and generating corresponding first image data, causing the first display section to display an image indicated by the first image data, and transmitting the first image data to the display apparatus. In the generation of the first image data, the first image data is so generated that the direction toward the lower side of the source image coincides with the detected vertical direction when the first display section displays the image indicated by the first image data.
