  • Patent number: 7894640
    Abstract: It is an object of an identification apparatus of the present invention to realize a face identification in such a way that a system user does not worry that other people take a glance at a user's own face image when the user gets the face image for use in face identification. An identification apparatus of the present invention includes a capturing device 22 for capturing an image, a face template database 254 for storing various images, an alternative image generation controlling portion 251 for specifying a first area, which contains at least a part of a face, out of the image captured by the capturing portion and then replacing the first area of the image captured by the capturing portion with an image stored in the face template database 254, and a displaying device 23 for displaying an image generated by the alternative image generation controlling portion 251.

  • Patent number: 7143385
    Abstract: A wiring design system when applied to wiring boards having various wiring restrictions, has a rough wiring plan at the floor plan stage so as to complete a wiring design satisfying the wiring restrictions in a short period of time while evaluating the congestion degree of the wiring. Logical connection information for wiring parts and signal group information for handling the connection information is input as a signal group. The signal group is handled as a wiring unit for a wiring path search and the signal group is divided into smaller groups. An optimum path is then determined in such a way that the divided smaller groups run adjacent to one another whenever appropriate.
