  • Patent number: 9001188
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus, including: an acquisition section adapted to acquire stereoscopic image information for displaying a stereoscopic image; and a production section adapted to compare a first image and a second image, which configure the acquired stereoscopic image information, with each other to produce a parameter indicative of a position of a body included in the stereoscopic image in the depthwise direction when the stereoscopic image is displayed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8564719
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that has a frame buffer that stores an input video signal, that loads a video signal at an asynchronous timing with the video signal input from the frame buffer and then that I/P-converts the loaded video signal from an interlaced signal into a progressive signal includes: pulldown determination means that determines whether the input video signal is subjected to a process of skipping or repeating a source video signal through a pulldown process; and control means that, when it is determined that the input video signal is subjected to the process of skipping or repeating, controls a process of skipping or repeating the loaded video signal to obtain a pulldown pattern supported at an I/P conversion side at which the I/P-conversion is performed, when the loaded video signal is converted from an interlaced signal into a progressive signal.

  • Patent number: 8359413
    Abstract: A buffer control device includes a reference time generation unit configured to generate a reference time based on time information included in a data stream input, a buffer configured to receive an encoded data extracted from the data stream, store the encoded data, and output the encoded data at a decoding time or a reproducing time of the encoded data, and a control unit configured to control an input of the encoded data to the buffer based on a relativity between the decoding time or the reproducing time of the encoded data and the reference time.

  • Publication number: 20120133734
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus, including: a correction section adapted to correct sound information associated with a stereoscopic image based on a position of a material body included in the stereoscopic image in the depthwise direction; and an output controlling section adapted to output the sound information after the correction when the stereoscopic image is displayed.

  • Patent number: 7331046
    Abstract: A program of the present invention is compatible with a plurality of system configurations. When a process jumps to a bootstrap body, CPU configuration and initialization of a timer and a data cache are performed. When the process is not executed on a cache RAM or when the process is executed in an external mode or a ROMless state, data is copied from ROM to RAM, and then the process jumps to a cache RAM area. Then, initialization of a stack, setting of an interrupt vector, and initialization of a heap are sequentially performed. The present invention can be applied to an apparatus for developing a system LSI.
