  • Patent number: 11446113
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgery support system, a display control device, and a display control method in which a plurality of images can be displayed in an easy-to-see and efficient manner. An information processing device generates a composite image by compositing images output from a plurality of electronic instruments including a medical instrument, and adds, to the composite image, metadata related to division of the composite image. The display control device controls a display device to display, in the virtual three-dimensional space, divided images obtained by dividing the composite image into a plurality of divided regions on the basis of the metadata. The present disclosure can be applied to an endoscopic surgical system, for example.

  • Patent number: 7881583
    Abstract: A playback apparatus is capable of playing back video data at a variable speed ranging from a forward normal speed to a reverse normal speed, the video data having been encoded for compression through inter-frame compression based on predictive coding and recorded on a recording medium that allows random access. The playback apparatus includes a frame buffer configured to temporarily store video data of a plurality of frames; a target-pattern generator configured to generate a target pattern of the frame buffer for a target playback frame to be played back next; a comparator configured to compare a current state of the frame buffer with the target pattern; and a frame-buffer controller configured to extract a frame to be newly decoded and a frame no longer used in the current state of the frame buffer, on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparator.
