Patent number: 9497382Abstract: A currently captured image R of an object is displayed nearly at a center portion of a display frame SC on a display screen that is a shooting mode. When a time dial 22 is rotated for one step in the counterclockwise direction, the currently captured image R is moved rightward. A reproduced image PI captured before the currently captured image R is displayed on the left thereof. A reproduced image P2 captured before the reproduced image PI is displayed on the left thereof. The currently captured image R and the reproduced images PI and P2 are displayed at the same time on a display screen ST2 as a co-existent state of a shooting mode and a reproducing mode. When the time dial 22 is rotated for one step in the counterclockwise direction, only the reproduced images PI to P4 are displayed on a display screen that is a reproducing mode. As a plurality of reproduced image, the reproduced images PI to P4 are displayed along a time axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: THOMSON LICENSINGInventors: Motoki Kobayashi, Miwako Yoritate, Yoshimitsu Funabashi, Shinichi Iriya, Kayo Sasaki

Patent number: 9116610Abstract: A screen ST1 of an LCD with which a digital camera is provided displays an icon of a folder F1 indicating that the folder F1 has been selected. Image files P11 and P12 are captured reproduced images. A display frame SC displays a currently captured picture of an object, files P11 and P12, and the icon of the folder F1. To switch the folder F1 to a folder F2, the user presses a down button of a cross key 27. When the user presses the down button on the screen ST1, the screen ST1 is switched to a screen ST3 through a screen ST2. On the screen ST2, the number denoted in the icon is changed. The screen ST2 displays a state of which the folders are being switched. An icon displayed on the screen ST3 indicates that the folder F1 was switched to the folder F2.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Miwako Yoritate, Motoki Kobayashi, Yoshimitsu Funabashi, Shinichi Iriya, Kayo Sasaki

Patent number: 8694917Abstract: In menu structure, information is separately displayed on a menu item-by-menu item basis. Therefore, the adoption of menu structure involves inconvenience. (For example, pieces of information under different menu items cannot be viewed at the same time.) A portable information communication terminal eliminates this inconvenience. Information is configured in list structure wherein items (A1, . . . , A5, B1, . . . , B4, B5, B6, C1, . . . , C5, D1, . . . (A to D represent groups.)) are arranged in succession. List information (B5 to C5) which is within a predetermined range (the second precedent line through the fourth subsequent line) from a specific item C1 of a predetermined serial number (top number) in a selected group (group C) is displayed. Since the top item in group C is the specific item, items corresponding to group B are also displayed. Thus, items corresponding to different groups (group B and group C) can be displayed at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2003Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications, Inc.Inventors: Shigeya Yasui, Kayo Sasaki, Emi Arakawa, Mayu Irimajiri

Publication number: 20140063318Abstract: A desired image is quickly retrieved from stored images. Reproduced images are horizontally arranged on time axis. Horizontal lines are displayed above the plurality of images and delimited every image group such that images belonging to the same image group are visually identified. Dots are displayed on individual lines corresponding to representative images P11 and P12 belonging to individual image groups. Photographed dates and times are displayed only on representative images P11 and P21 belonging to image groups. A plurality of reproduced images are simultaneously displayed on an LCD 13. Among these reproduced images, representative images are identifiably displayed. When a desired image is selected from reproduced images, left and right feed buttons of a cross key 27 are pressed and representative images belonging to individual image groups are selected. When a dial key 28 is rotated, a desired image is selected from images belonging to the selected image group.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Kayo SASAKI, Miwako YORITATE, Yoshimitsu FUNABASHI, Shinichi IRIYA, Motoki KOBAYASHI

Patent number: 8599298Abstract: A desired image is quickly retrieved from many images that have been stored. Reproduced images are horizontally arranged on time axis. Horizontal lines are displayed above the plurality of images. The horizontal lines are delimited every image group such that images that belong to the same image group are visually identified. Dots are displayed on individual lines corresponding to representative images P11 and P12 that belong to individual image groups. In addition, photographed dates and times are displayed only on representative images P11 and P21 that belong to image groups. A plurality of reproduced images are simultaneously displayed on an LCD 13. Among these reproduced images, representative images are identifiably displayed.

Patent number: 7405728Abstract: High-speed scrolling is performed when an operating dial 35 is rotated taking a central button member 36 as an axis, and low-speed scrolling when pushing either an upper button 42A or a lower button 42C by pushing the operating dial 35 in the direction of an axis of rotation. It is therefore possible to include information it is wished to view, in an appropriate manner within a display range of a screen, with fewer operations by appropriately changing over the speed of scrolling. In addition, as it is possible to operate the operating dial 35 for both high-speed scrolling and low-speed scrolling, when changing over the speed of scrolling, it is possible to change over the speed of scrolling in a straightforward manner without operating members other than the member that has been operated so far.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2003Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Japan, Inc.Inventors: Emi Arakawa, Kayo Sasaki, Shigeya Yasui, Mayu Irimajiri
