  • Publication number: 20240005683
    Abstract: It is possible for a user to easily assign a desired tag by using a voice, regardless of homonyms and synonyms having different expressions. In a digital data tagging apparatus, a tagging method, a program, and a recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention, a digital data acquisition unit acquires digital data to which a tag is assigned, and an audio data acquisition unit acquires audio data related to the digital data. A word/phrase extraction unit extracts a word/phrase from the audio data, a tag candidate determination unit determines one or more tag candidates of which a degree of association with the word/phrase is equal to or more than a first threshold value from among a plurality of tag candidates, which are stored in advance in a tag candidate storage unit, as a first tag candidate, and a tag assignment unit assigns at least one of a tag candidate group including the word/phrase and the first tag candidate to the digital data as the tag.

  • Patent number: 11049303
    Abstract: A portable terminal as an example of an imaging apparatus has an imaging unit that images a subject, a display unit that displays an image captured by the imaging unit in a live view mode, an extraction unit, a composition unit, and a display control unit. The imaging unit acquires a first image. The extraction unit extracts a part of the first image as a composition target for image composition. The composition unit composes the composition target to a second image captured by the imaging unit and different from the first image. The display control unit displays the second image, to which the composition target is composed, on the display unit in a live view mode.

  • Patent number: 10936187
    Abstract: An inquiring unit displays, before execution of a deletion process of deleting a to-be-deleted image IMP from an album page, a to-be-deleted image list for inquiring whether or not to execute a deletion process on the to-be-deleted image IMP on an album screen. A user selects an image display cell CE of a to-be-deleted image IMP to be kept in the album page and selects a keep button. Accordingly, the to-be-deleted image IMP whose image display cell CE has been selected is kept in the album page. This is user-friendly compared with a case were a to-be-deleted image IMP is deleted without any notice to the user.

  • Patent number: 10705605
    Abstract: A display control unit causes an accumulation image list screen having a list of accumulation images to be displayed on a head-mounted display. A detection unit detects an eye gaze of a user directed at one of the accumulation images on the basis of a captured image from an eye gaze detection camera of the head-mounted display. A time measurement unit measures an eye fixation duration of the user for the accumulation image. An evaluation unit replaces the eye fixation duration with an interest level of the user for the accumulation image on the basis of evaluation criteria. An information accepting unit accepts the interest level as information about the eye fixation duration. An information management unit records the image ID of the accumulation image and the interest level to a storage device in association with each other as image interest-level information.

  • Patent number: 10664043
    Abstract: A second detection unit detects a second gesture for switching between a rough adjustment mode in which the range of settable numerical values for a slide bar is a first range or/and the unit change width for a numerical value is a first change width and a fine adjustment mode in which the range is a second range narrower than the first range or/and the unit change width is a second change width narrower than the first change width. A mode switching unit switches between the rough adjustment mode and the fine adjustment mode in accordance with the second gesture. A display control unit causes a rough adjustment slide bar and a fine adjustment slide bar to be selectively displayed on an HMD.

  • Patent number: 10506913
    Abstract: In an endoscope system according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to touch an actual keyboard, mouse, or button to operate an endoscope apparatus, and thus it is not necessary to shift an instrument from one hand to the other hand or peel of/put on gloves in a medical setting. Accordingly, a necessary operation can be easily performed by using a line of sight and a gesture. In addition, it is not necessary to provide a keyboard, mouse, or button for operating the endoscope apparatus, and restrictions on the arrangement of the apparatus can be reduced. Furthermore, virtual objects corresponding to an apparatus to be operated and operation details are displayed in a pseudo manner, and thus the virtual object on which an operation is to be performed can be easily determined.

  • Publication number: 20190146653
    Abstract: A first detection unit detects a first gesture in which a hand of a user is moved in a depth direction of a 3D image, and outputs back-of-hand position information indicating the position of a back of the hand in the depth direction to a determination unit. The determination unit determines, on the basis of the back-of-hand position information, a layer, among a plurality of layers of the 3D image, that is located at a position that matches the position of the back in the depth direction to be a selection layer. A second detection unit detects a second gesture using a finger for changing the transmittance of the selection layer. An accepting unit accepts instruction information for changing the transmittance of the selection layer and outputs the instruction information to a display control unit. The display control unit changes, in accordance with the instruction information, the transmittance of the layer that is determined by the determination unit to be the selection layer.
