  • Patent number: 11676242
    Abstract: Provided is an image analysis unit that receives an image to be a down-conversion processing target as an input and generate adjacent pixel difference information used to select a pixel to be output to a down-converted image, and an output image generation unit that selects a pixel pair to be an adjacent pixel used for the down-converted image on the basis of the adjacent pixel difference information and generate the down-converted image by executing an adjustment of the selected pixel pair. The image analysis unit calculates a difference of an adjacent pixel pair of a processing block constituent pixel, generates a sorting result of arranging the differences in descending order, and the output image generation unit selects the pixel pair to be used for the down-converted image in descending order of difference values on the basis of the sorting result.

  • Patent number: 11545086
    Abstract: A screen includes a screen pixel array, row and column lines, a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) circuit, a gate driver on array (GOA) circuit, a switch circuit, and an enabling signal circuit. The DDIC circuit is disposed on a side of a screen of the electronic device, and includes output channels. Each output channel is connected to two switches, each switch is connected to one row line, the GOA circuit is connected to a column line, the enabling signal circuit is connected to the switch circuit, and the screen pixel array is connected to the row and column line. The enabling signal circuit generates an enabling signal for the switch circuit. The DDIC circuit sends to-be-displayed data to the switch circuit. The switch circuit controls the two switches to alternately operate. The GOA circuit strobes a column of pixels in the screen pixel array which displays the to-be-displayed data.

  • Patent number: 11527221
    Abstract: Provided herein is technology for displaying, reposition, and/or formatting graphics on a display. The technology includes receiving a graphics stream in a first playout format that includes a first display resolution and first display layout. The technology also includes determining a second playout format that includes a second display resolution and a second display layout. The technology further determines an area of importance within the first display layout given the first display layout, second display resolution, and second display layout. A preferred position within the second display layout is determined so that the preferred position is a location in the second display layout that is in a relatively similar location as the area of importance in the first display layout. The first playout format is converted into the second playout format using the area of importance and preferred position. Finally, the graphics stream is displayed in the second playout format.

  • Patent number: 9827908
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a vehicle rearview mirror system which is capable of eliminating a circumstance that a driver feel a sense that something is wrong, even in a case where a screen of a display device is caused to one-to-one correspond with an aspect ratio of the vehicle rearview mirror, and the ratio of the display screen of the display device is made different from an aspect ratio of an image which is acquired by a vehicle-mounted camera. [Means for Solving the Problem] A vehicle rearview mirror system of the present invention has: a display device 9 to construct an image by an image signal having been output from an image receiving unit 2a of a vehicle-mounted camera 2 and then cause a display screen 9a to display the constructed image; and a vehicle mirror main body 3 in which the display device 9 is incorporated.

  • Patent number: 8782126
    Abstract: An end user is provided with an environment to easily remote-control a video camera via a general network such as the Internet. For this purpose, on a client side, the content of camera control is described in file-transfer protocol description, and the description is transferred to a camera server on the Internet via a browser. The camera server interprets the description, controls a camera in accordance with the designated content, to perform image sensing, and returns the obtained video image as the content of a file to the client. The client performs various controls while observing the video image. When a desired angle has been found, the client instructs to register the angle in a bookmark, then angle information displayed at that time is registered. Thereafter, when the user of the client can see the video image obtained on the same image-sensing conditions by merely select-designating the angle information registered in the bookmark.

  • Patent number: RE41104
    Abstract: When the fact that the display mode of motion picture data is a full screen mode is detected, the display control mode for sending a video signal generated by a graphics controller to an LCD is switched from a normal mode for sending the video signal to the LCD without interposition of a high quality video engine to a high quality mode for sending the video signal to the LCD with interposition of the high quality video engine. The high quality video engine enlarges the screen size of the video signal in either linear scaling mode or nonlinear scaling mode designated by a user. Scaling is validated only in the case were motion picture data are displayed in the full screen mode.

  • Patent number: RE43462
    Abstract: A PC-based system for monitoring and storing representative images from video cameras may be utilized for security or other monitoring applications. Camera inputs from digital or analog sources are individually and independently digitized and displayed at a first set of image sizes, sampling rates, and frame rates, and may be stored in digital form on various recording media at a second set of image sizes, sampling rates, and frame rates, and these two sets of sizes and rates may or may not be identical. Provisions are included for adding detection or alarm systems which will automatically alter image size, sampling rate and/or frame rate of an individual input source, or activate other physical responses. In addition to security system monitoring, further applications of the invention are disclosed for process monitoring in manufacturing environments and also for applications in videoconferencing.
