Publication number: 20230334620Abstract: A display device is capable of switching between a first display mode and a second display mode, the second display mode having a larger display area than the first display mode. When the display mode is the first display mode in the first period, the display mode is the second display mode in the subsequent second period, and the display mode is the first display mode in the subsequent third period, an image generator (CCP_1) makes an image to be displayed at a start point of the third period to be different from an image displayed at an end point of the first period. In the third period, the image generator (CCP_1) uses a result of the processing in the second period.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Kenicirou MATSUMURA, Kuniichiro NARUSE, Keita SAITO, Akira KUROSAWA, Hiroki TAKAGAKI, Kiwako MIURA, Yuki KOBAYASHI, Takehisa GOKAICHI

Publication number: 20230325139Abstract: The display states of a display device include a first display state and a second display state with a larger display area than the first display state. An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that controls the display device, an executer that executes at least one of a first App or a second App, and an acquirer that acquires a guide image. In response to the executer executing the first App when the display device is in the first display state, the acquirer acquires the guide image in accordance with a running state of the first App. The display controller causes the display device to display the guide image in the first display state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Kenichirou MATSUMURA, Kuniichiro NARUSE, Keita SAITO, Akira KUROSAWA, Hiroki TAKAGAKI, Kiwako MIURA, Yuki KOBAYASHI, Takehisa GOKAICHI

Patent number: 9986218Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a creation unit to combine first section data in moving image data with other content data to create a composite moving image content, a reproduction unit to reproduce the moving image data, an operation reception unit to receive a predetermined operation input by a user during reproduction of the moving image data, and a control unit to extract second section data including a reproduction position of the moving image data at a time when the predetermined operation input is received and control the creation unit so that the creation unit changes the first section data in the composite moving image content into the second section data, the second section data being different from the first section data.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kuniichiro Naruse, Hisashi Hosaka, Mitsuo Okumura, Yukiko Akiyama, Kosuke Kimura, Kazuma Igari

Patent number: 8238667Abstract: A moving image creating apparatus includes a memory that stores a plurality of template files each of which holds a plurality of component templates each for accommodating an image. An input device that selects any one of the template files stored in the memory. A processing unit analyzes metadata about each of a plurality of images. The processing unit analyzes metadata about each of the component templates in the selected template file. Further, the processing unit places the images into the component templates of the selected template file in accordance with the analyzed metadata about the images and the analyzed metadata about the component templates and places one of the images into one of the component templates of the selected template file, in response to a determination that none of the metadata about each of the images matches the analyzed metadata about the one of the component templates.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hisashi Hosaka, Kosuke Kimura, Kuniichiro Naruse, Mitsuo Okumura, Yukiko Sakata, Shinji Kimura, Sadamichi Bamba
