  • Patent number: 11215970
    Abstract: A processing control device controls a tool for processing a first workpiece. The processing control device includes a driving unit to drive the tool, an output unit, and a control unit to control the driving unit and the output unit. Processing information obtained by performing preliminary processing on a second workpiece before performing first processing on the first workpiece is transmitted by the control unit to the output unit and accordingly the processing information is outputted from the output unit. The control unit generates a control command for performing second processing that is performed on the first workpiece after the first processing. The control unit controls the driving unit according to the control command.

  • Publication number: 20190310755
    Abstract: In a coordinate correction apparatus, a coordinate acquisition unit sequentially acquires coordinates of touch positions on a touch panel when a touch operation is continued on the touch panel. When the coordinate acquisition unit acquires first coordinates which are coordinates of a new touch position, a coordinate correction unit calculates a weighted average of the first coordinates and second coordinates determined from coordinates of a past touch position acquired by the coordinate acquisition unit, with applying weighting that varies according to a touch movement amount on the touch panel. The coordinate correction unit outputs a calculation result as corrected coordinates. An application unit uses the corrected coordinates.

  • Patent number: 10282887
    Abstract: A moving image reproduction unit (104) generates display object information for each of a plurality of frames, using difference information for each object associated with each frame and reproduces a moving image. An analysis unit (102) analyzes the difference information for each frame and determines a frame attribute that is an attribute of the frame. When a frame other than a head frame of the plurality of frames is specified as a reproduction start frame from which the reproduction of the moving image starts, the moving image reproduction unit (104) extracts one of the plurality of frames based on the frame attribute determined by the analysis unit (104). Further, the moving image reproduction unit (104) generates display object information of the reproduction start frame, using the difference information of the frame extracted and the difference information of the reproduction start frame, and starts the reproduction of the moving image from the reproduction start frame.
