  • Patent number: 10170090
    Abstract: A music information generating device, including: a block color name recognizing part which selects and determines, from among plural color names which are made to correspond to plural ranges of color attribute value having been set beforehand, a color name corresponding to the representative-color of the block as a block color name of the block, by recognizing to which range of the color attribute value the representative-color of the block belongs, where the plural color names have been made or are going to be made to correspond to the plural sound-source names having been stored; and a diagram music-score generating unit which selects, based on a criterion having been set beforehand, a designated block from among the blocks having been arranged in lattice shape, and thereby generates a diagram music-score.

  • Patent number: 9413949
    Abstract: Digital-photo analyzing apparatus and computer-readable medium storing a digital-photo analyzing program for presenting the relationship between respective values and the quality of a digital photo based on a shutter speed, a TV value, a diaphragm value, an AV value, an ISO sensitivity, or a shooting record EV value of the digital photo. The digital-photo analyzing apparatus displays: a two-dimensional matrix using the shutter speed as a scale, the TV value, the diaphragm value, the AV value, or the shooting record EV value; and a three-dimensional matrix further using the ISO sensitivity as a scale. The two-dimensional matrix and the three-dimensional matrix display a plot or a thumbnail of the digital photo. Reference to the two-dimensional matrix or the three-dimensional matrix displaying the plot or the thumbnail allows a user to recognize the relationship between the digital photo and various values and analyze the various values affecting on the quality of the digital photo.

  • Patent number: 9372875
    Abstract: An image data display system classifies image data into a cluster based on a predetermined condition regardless of whether or not the image data conforms to DCF standard and displays information specific to the image data when displayed as a slide show. A CPU creates a cluster, including a plurality of the image data, and a slide show table having first and second cluster name candidates based on a FAT data or an Exif data and a third cluster name candidate input by a user. The image display screen combines any two of the above first, second, and third cluster name candidates and displays a list of the combined candidates as cluster names indicating contents of the image data. The user can select the cluster name in high visibility and can easily display the desired image data as the slide show.

  • Patent number: 8798543
    Abstract: There is provided a simple data wireless transmission/reception system and program which enables a user to transmit an image folder easily and instinctively without performing a complicated communication process setting. The user touches a transmission icon of a mobile electronic device as a first transmission operation and moves an IC card closer to the mobile electronic device as a second transmission operation. A CPU generates a basic connection data and a communication connection condition data. The CPU detects a simple transmission SSID and designates an access point. When the user moves the IC card closer to a stationary electronic device as a third transmission operation, the CPU performs a client setting. When a fourth transmission operation is performed, the CPU transmits the image folder. Accordingly, the user can transmit a desired data from the mobile electronic device to the stationary electronic device easily with simple and instinctive operations.

  • Publication number: 20070288435
    Abstract: An image storage apparatus comprises: a photograph information analysis processor for outputting photograph information perception data quantitatively associated with perception terms (language) relating to photograph images; and a color perception analysis processor for outputting color perception data quantitatively associated with perception terms relating to colors of the images. The output data are stored in the storage apparatus. When receiving search terms of photograph information and color perceptions of retrieval target images, an image retrieval apparatus compares the search terms with image content language data stored in the storage apparatus to narrow the language data, and extracts images in descending order of priority (scores) of the perception terms corresponding to the search terms with reference to photograph information and color perception data attributed to the retrieval target images and including the narrowed language data.
