  • Patent number: 9098135
    Abstract: A tablet terminal receives a triggering indication to enable a detection result of eye gaze, and sets a target area in which the presence of a target object is assumed on a screen of a touch panel using a detection position of eye gaze. The tablet terminal further displays a partial image displayed in the target area out of an image displayed on the screen in an aiming area in which a touch operation to the target area is received in place of the target area, and records a correspondence relation between coordinates of the aiming area and coordinates of the target area. When a touch operation is received within the aiming area, the tablet terminal converts the coordinates of the aiming area in which the touch operation is received into the coordinates projected to the target area using the correspondence relation recorded, and then outputs the converted coordinates.

  • Patent number: 9042642
    Abstract: A determining unit determines which one of a plurality of divided areas in color distribution a value of an input image single falls within. The plurality of divided areas are defined for each of R, G, and B color components, and the determining unit determines, for each color component, which one of the plurality of divided areas the value of the input image signal falls within. An image correcting unit reads correction coefficients corresponding to the determined divided area for each color component from a correction coefficient storing unit in which correction coefficients are registered for each of the color components and each of the divided areas. The image correcting unit calculates each of R, G, and B output values of an output image signal using the correction coefficients of the individual color components read from the correction coefficient storing unit.
