  • Publication number: 20230158412
    Abstract: A transmission processing section 166a transmits an image to a distribution server. A state information acquisition section 164a acquires, from a management server, information indicating the states of a plurality of members. A room image generation section 124a generates, on the basis of the information indicating the state of the plurality of members, a member display field in which information regarding a member transmitting an image and information regarding a member transmitting no image are included in different regions. A room image generation section 124a displays information indicating a member who is watching an image transmitted from the transmission processing section 166a to the distribution server.

  • Publication number: 20230158400
    Abstract: A state information acquisition section 164c acquires, from a management server, information indicating states of a plurality of members. A room image generation section 124c generates, on the basis of the information indicating the state of the plurality of members, a member displaying field in which information regarding a member transmitting an image and information regarding a member transmitting no image are included in different regions. A reception section 104c receives an operation of selecting a member transmitting an image. A request transmission section 180c sends a watching request including information for identifying the selected member to the management server or a distribution server that distributes an image.

  • Patent number: 10145946
    Abstract: An image processing device for capturing an ultrasonic image is provided with a probe to generate an ultrasonic wave and receives a reflective wave reflected at an object. A detection unit to detect one or more physical quantities of the probe. A display unit to display a tomographic image showing a cross-section of a predetermined position of the object, out of the ultrasonic image of the object. A sensor information acquisition unit to acquire a detection result by a sensor unit as sensor information. In a tomographic image generation unit, regarding the sensor information as a parameter, a reference tomographic image is transformed according to a change of the parameter, to generate the tomographic image. A display control unit to control the display unit to display the generated tomographic image. The present technique can be applied to an ultrasonic examination device.

  • Publication number: 20140307522
    Abstract: The present technique relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program allowing a grasp of an ultrasonic image with an intuitive and simplified manipulation. A probe generates an ultrasonic wave and receives a reflective wave reflected at an object. A detection unit detects one or more physical quantities of the probe. A display unit displays a tomographic image showing a cross-section of a predetermined position of the object, out of the ultrasonic image of the object generated based on the reflective wave received by the probe. A sensor information acquisition unit acquires a detection result by a sensor unit as sensor information. In a tomographic image generation unit, regarding the sensor information as a parameter, a reference tomographic image is transformed according to a change of the parameter, whereby the tomographic image to be displayed on the display unit is generated. A display control unit controls the display unit to display the generated tomographic image.

  • Patent number: 8768043
    Abstract: An image display apparatus may include a display section for presenting an image. The apparatus may also include a viewing angle calculation section for determining a viewing angle of a user relative to the display section. Additionally, the apparatus may include an image generation section for generating first image data representing a first image, and for supplying the first image data to the display section for presentation of the first image. The image generation section may generate the first image data based on the user's viewing angle, second image data representing a second image, and third image data representing a third image. The second image may include an object viewed from a first viewing angle and the third image may include the object viewed from a second viewing angle, the first viewing angle and the second viewing angle being different from each other and from the user's viewing angle.

  • Patent number: 8701300
    Abstract: In a band in which a plurality of members are connected to one another through joints serving as connection axes parallel to one another, an inter-panel angle indicating an angle between the members adjacent to each other through the joint is adjusted. Each joint is provided with an angular sensor for detecting the inter-panel angle. Based on the detected inter-panel angle, the peripheral shape indicating a shape of at least a part of a periphery of the object to be measured, on which the band is mounted, is measured. The present technology, for example, is useful for an abdominal girth measurement apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20120289833
    Abstract: A sensor information acquisition unit acquires information indicating a position and an orientation of a probe that generates an ultrasonic wave and receives a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave. A cross-sectional image generation unit generates a cross-sectional image indicating at least a part of a cross-sectional surface of a subject by arranging and synthesizing a plurality of ultrasonic images, which are based on the reflected wave received by the probe at a plurality of positions around the subject, based on the position and the orientation of the probe when the probe generates the ultrasonic wave and receives the reflected wave. The present technique is applicable to, for example, an ultrasonic inspection apparatus.
