  • Patent number: 10479275
    Abstract: Provided is a device whereby it is possible to accurately recognize which area has been enlarged when part of an overhead image displayed on a monitor is displayed as enlarged. When any one area of a plurality divided areas (D1-D4) is indicated, the divided areas being a result of dividing an overhead image displayed on a monitor (21), an image of the indicated divided area (D1-D4) is set as an image to be enlarged, and an auxiliary display area (21B) is set as an enlarged display area. Enlarged display unit forms a plurality of intermediate images (M) of an intermediate size between the size of the indicated divided area (D2) and the size of the enlarged display area, and the intermediate images are sequentially displayed beginning with the smallest intermediate image (M), using the indicated divided area (D2) as an origin point.

  • Patent number: 9862319
    Abstract: Provided is a device whereby the position of an obstacle can be perceived on a monitor without compromising the effectiveness of displaying an overhead image on the monitor. An overhead image generating unit generates an overhead image from images captured using plural cameras, and the overhead image is displayed in an auxiliary display area of a monitor. When an obstacle detection part detects an obstacle in proximity to a vehicle, a specified information output unit emphasizes the display of a frame in the outer side of a divided area of the overhead image that contains the obstacle. Touching the auxiliary display area with a finger or the like during this emphasized display causes the captured image of the obstacle to be enlarged and displayed in the auxiliary display area.

  • Patent number: 9403481
    Abstract: Provided is a device whereby the position of an obstacle can be perceived on a monitor without compromising the effectiveness of displaying an overhead image on the monitor. An overhead image generator generates an overhead image from images captured using multiple cameras, and the overhead image is displayed in an auxiliary display area of a monitor. When an obstacle detection part detects an obstacle in proximity to a vehicle, a specified information output unit emphasizes the display of a frame in the outer side of a divided area of the overhead image that contains the obstacle. Touching the auxiliary display area with a finger or the like during this emphasized display causes the captured image of the obstacle to be enlarged and displayed in the auxiliary display area.

An overhead image generating unit generates an overhead image from images captured using a plurality of cameras, and the overhead image is displayed in an auxiliary display area (21B) of a monitor (21). When an obstacle detection part detects an obstacle (X) in proximity to a vehicle, a specified information output unit emphasizes the display of a frame (F2) in the outer side of a divided area (D2) of the overhead image that contains the obstacle (X). Touching the auxiliary display area (21B) with a finger or the like during this emphasized display causes the captured image of the obstacle (X) to be enlarged and displayed in the auxiliary display area (21B).

  • Patent number: 4984271
    Abstract: A cipher system in a computer network having a host computer and terminal equipments connected by communication lines. A terminal equipment cipher process program memory area is provided in a volatile memory area of a storage of a terminal equipment which upon turning-on of its power, requests a transfer of the terminal cipher process program from the host computer to the terminal equipment. In response to the request, the host computer sends the terminal cipher process program previously developed at the host computer side to the terminal equipment to thereby make the program to be stored in the memory area of the terminal equipment. Enciphering and deciphering during communication between the host computer and the terminal equipment are performed by using the host computer and terminal equipment cipher process programs stored in the respective host computer and the terminal equipment.

  • Patent number: 4165519
    Abstract: An optical control system for information read out of video and/or audio information optically recorded in a track on the surface of a disc-shaped information medium, wherein a lightbeam is focused into a spot of predetermined transverse dimension at the locus of impingement thereof with the plane of the track and selectively deflected transversely along an edge of the track. Deviations of the light spot from the edge of the track is detected and corrected by means of feedback servo-system to maintain the light spot properly situated on the track edge. The servo-system also corrects for focus deviations in the predetermined transverse dimension of the light beam.
