Abstract: A display device is equipped with a proximity touch panel that detects coming into proximity or contact of a detection target; a position detection unit that detects position coordinates of the detection target whose coming into proximity or contact has been detected, the position coordinates consisting of coordinates in the X and Y directions and a coordinate in the Z direction; a display unit on which the touch panel is placed; a direction judgment unit that judges a direction of the detection target on the basis of the detected position coordinates; and a display control unit for controlling the display unit to perform a display so that a part of display contents of the display unit which would otherwise be hidden by the detection target is prevented from being hidden, on the basis of the direction of the direction-judged detection target.

Abstract: An electronic zoom device includes: an object detection unit which detects a plurality of objects in an image on a display screen; a reference position detection unit which detects reference positions of the objects; a ratio calculating unit which calculates respective ratio parameters that change according to sizes of the objects relative to the display screen; a center position setting unit which sets, as a zoom center position, a reference position of a first object whose ratio parameter meets a predetermined criterion; and a zoom processing unit which performs zoom processing of the image with a focus on the zoom center position. The zoom center position setting unit changes the zoom center position from the reference position of the first object to another whose ratio parameter meets the predetermined criterion when the ratio parameter of the first object does not meet the predetermined criterion.

Abstract: A demultiplexing apparatus includes a data obtainment unit to obtain the MP4 file data, and a decoding unit to demultiplex the MP4 file data obtained by the data obtainment unit into pairs of a moov and a mdat and pairs of a moof and a mdat, and decode those pairs pair-by-pair. A content duration specification unit specifies the content total duration based on the content total duration information contained in the moov of the MP4 file data obtained by the data obtainment unit and a playback unit displays the content total duration specified by the content duration specification unit.

Abstract: The demultiplexing apparatus 200 comprises a data obtainment unit 210 operable to obtain the MP4 file data 100, a decoding unit 213 operable to demultiplex the MP4 file data 100 obtained by the data obtainment unit 210 into pairs of a moov 110 and a mdat 110 and pairs of a moof 130 and a mdat 140, and decode those pairs pair by pair, a content duration specification unit 211a operable to specify the content total duration based on the content total duration information contained in the moov 110 of the MP4 file data 100 obtained by the data obtainment unit 210 and a playback unit 214 operable to display content total duration specified by the content duration specification unit 211a.

Abstract: There is provided a timestamp value controlling apparatus that can improve storage efficiency of data as maintaining quality of data. In the apparatus, a timestamp value difference calculating section 103 obtains a timestamp value difference indicating a difference between an input timestamp value and a previous timestamp value timestamp value. A judging section 104 judges whether the timestamp value difference is within a reference timestamp value range in which a predetermined permissible range is added to the reference frame interval value. The outputting and selecting section 105 outputs a value, which is obtained by adding the reference frame interval value to the previous timestamp value, as an output timestamp value when the timestamp value difference is within a reference timestamp value range, and outputs the input timestamp value as an output timestamp value when the timestamp value difference is out of the reference timestamp value range.

Abstract: A file creating device 201 includes (1) a data input unit 202 that receives audio data from outside and outputs digital audio data, (2) an encoding unit 203 that encodes the digital audio data, creates one access unit by putting together encoded samples so as to keep the size of all the access units same in a byte unit, and outputs the access units to a file output unit 205, (3) a format creating unit 204 that acquires format information from the encoding unit 203, creates header information of an MP4 file, and outputs the header information to the file output unit 205, and (4) the file output unit 205 that creates an access unit train by multiplexing the access units acquired from the encoding unit 203, and outputs the MP4 file by combining the access unit train and the header information acquired from the format creating unit 204.

Abstract: A data reproduction apparatus comprises a data request unit for requesting a server to transmit data; a reception buffer for holding received data; a control unit for detecting the beginning position of AV data, and instructing a decoding unit to start decoding of the AV data when the amount of data stored in the reception buffer has reached a set value after detection of the beginning position position; a decoding unit for decoding the AV data stored in the reception buffer; a clock circuit for outputting a clock signal; and a display unit for displaying the decoded data. Since the AV data of the size required for data reproduction can be reliably pre-buffered when receiving the data, stable data reproduction can be carried out.

Abstract: The back side space of a tubular member is evacuated by means of a pressure difference-creating means constructed of a pressure regulating chamber and a pump, and then, the pressure in the back side space of the tubular member is set to be tenth or below of the pressure in the front space of the tubular member. Then, a raw material gas is introduced and excited to generate a plasma raw material gas, which is introduced into the tubular member and onto an inner wall of the tubular member, efficiently commensurate with the pressure difference created by means of the pressure difference-creating means. As a result, a desired thin film is formed on the inner wall of the tubular member through the chemical reaction of the plasma raw material gas.
