Patents by Inventor KEI KAKITANI

KEI KAKITANI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9485054
    Abstract: A video image data encoder comprises an input to receive stereoscopic image data. The stereoscopic image data includes first and second image data having chronological correspondence. An error correction encoding unit combines portions of the first image data and corresponding portions of the second image data from the input unit into a common encoding matrix. An error correcting code derived from the combined portions is added to the encoding matrix.

  • Patent number: 8982219
    Abstract: A transmitting device in accordance with the present invention includes an encoding unit that converts an input video signal into encoded data and sends out the encoded data to a transmission line, and a synchronization signal generation unit that generates a synchronization signal SYNC for adjusting the phase of an input video signal on the basis of phase information transmitted through the transmission line, wherein the phase information PHS includes information indicating that a timing of a synchronization signal generated by the synchronization signal generation unit is to be advanced by the time necessary for transmission, and the synchronization signal generation unit generates the synchronization signal SYNC so that an input video signal is advanced by the time necessary for transmission.

  • Patent number: 8745432
    Abstract: A delay controller includes an acquiring section that acquires synchronization timings indicating timings when a plurality of controllers, which control via a line a plurality of transmitters that transmit data, synchronously control the transmitters, a determining section that determines a reference synchronization timing serving as a reference for synchronization between the controllers, on the basis of the synchronization timings acquired by the acquiring section, and a synchronization information transmitting section that transmits synchronization information to the controllers, the synchronization information being used when the controllers receive data from each of the transmitters at the reference synchronization timing determined by the determining section.

  • Publication number: 20130093853
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that can reproduce high-quality stereoscopic images with low delay. An interpolation data storing unit (112) stores received L image data and R image data as interpolation data. A line-based multiple data link managing unit (105) manages a management table in which the numbers of packet errors in the L image data and the R image data of each line block and the like are registered. Based on the management table, an image data input switching unit (106) outputs the reception data when both of the numbers of packet errors in the L image data and the R image data contained in the reception data are smaller than a threshold value, and outputs interpolation data that corresponds to the reception data, is stored in the interpolation data storing unit (112), and has a smaller number of errors than a threshold value when both of the numbers of errors are not smaller than the threshold value.
