  • Publication number: 20140111430
    Abstract: An input device according to the present invention includes a touch panel (1), display means (2) provided to be superimposed on the touch panel (1), measurement means (11) that is able to measure a measurement value corresponding to a situation whether a glove is worn and a thickness of the glove, and sensitivity setting means for setting sensitivity of the touch panel (1) according to the measurement value measured by the measurement means (11). The measurement value may be a value corresponding to a range in which an electrostatic capacitance of the touch panel (1) has changed, for example, and the sensitivity setting means (12) increases the sensitivity of the touch panel (1) as this value increases. It is therefore possible to provide an input device that is able to improve operability regardless of whether the glove is worn or even when a different type of glove is worn.

  • Patent number: 8692896
    Abstract: The present invention evaluates the quality of an image shot by a terminal device in a state closer to that seen with the eye. A computer evaluates the quality of an image obtained by shooting a photographic subject including a periodic pattern that fluctuates periodically in one direction. A Fourier transform unit accomplishes a two-dimensional Fourier transform on the image to obtain two-dimensional spatial frequency spectrum components. An analysis unit analyzes the resolution of the image on the basis of spectrum components of spatial frequencies included in the periodic pattern, among the two-dimensional spatial frequency spectrum components obtained by the Fourier transform unit, and analyzes the deterioration of the image on the basis of spectrum components other than these.
