Publication number: 20110307448Abstract: In conventional managed copy, files are copied to the copy destination, while maintaining the file structure of the copy source. A problem pertaining to the conventional managed copy is that, when a partial copy, which changes the file structure of the copy source, is performed, the created disc does not conform to the standard and thus cannot be played back by the playback device. In the playback device of the present invention, a managed copy control unit 423 includes a mapping data processing unit 609, and in the case of a partial copy, copies a file to the copy destination disc 802 by changing its file name to a file name for use in the copy destination disc 802. With this structure, it is possible to create a disc that conforms to the standard and can be played back by the playback device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2009Publication date: December 15, 2011Inventors: Keiichi Tanaka, Ken Yamashita

Publication number: 20110211815Abstract: In performing stereoscopic view, a shift information memory stores, as a number of pixel lengths, an offset indicating how far in a right direction or a left direction to move coordinates of pixels to realize stereoscopic view. When realizing stereoscopic view, a plane shift engine moves the coordinates of image data in a graphics plane in the right direction or the left direction by the number of pixel lengths indicated by the offset. When a scale of video data targeted for stereoscopic view is changed by a basic graphics plane, a shift distance of pixel coordinates by the plane shift engine is based on a number of pixel lengths obtained by multiplying the offset by a changed scaling factor in the horizontal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2009Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Ken Yamashita, Germano Leichsenring

Patent number: 7921373Abstract: A display screen management unit is provided which can reduce a screen resource required to switch screens and simultaneously display a pre-transition screen and a post-transition screen. A screen control section requests a screen discard determination section to determine whether or not a currently displayed screen is to be discarded. The screen discard determination section compares currently displayed screen information with switching target screen information, and when the currently displayed screen is completely hidden by the switching target screen, determines that the currently displayed screen is to be discarded. The screen control section discards a screen resource for the screen determined to be discarded, from a screen resource saving section. The screen control section generates a screen resource for the switching target screen, and saves the screen resource into the screen resource saving section. The screen control section causes a display section to display the saved screen resource.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ken Yamashita, Hidehiko Shin

Publication number: 20110052153Abstract: A problem with high resource-consuming managed copy is that simultaneous execution of the managed copy, which is controlled by a playback device, and a BD-J application, which is recorded on a recording medium, leads to a shortage in resources. Provided is a playback device that enables simultaneous execution of the managed copy and the BD-J application while preventing resource contention therebetween, by imposing an access limitation on the disc medium by causing the BD-J application to assume that the disc medium has been virtually ejected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: March 3, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Keiichi Tanaka, Takahiro Yamaguchi, Ken Yamashita

Publication number: 20100142924Abstract: In performing stereoscopic view, a shift information memory (21) stores, as a number of pixel lengths, an offset indicating how far in a right direction or a left direction to move coordinates of pixels to realize stereoscopic view. When realizing stereoscopic view, a plane shift engine (20) moves the coordinates of image data in a graphics plane in the right direction or the left direction by the number of pixel lengths indicated by the offset. When a scale of video data targeted for stereoscopic view is changed by a basic graphics plane (15), a shift distance of pixel coordinates by the plane shift engine (20) is based on a number of pixel lengths obtained by multiplying the offset by a changed scaling factor in the horizontal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ken Yamashita, Germano Leichsenring
