  • Patent number: 11305171
    Abstract: To appropriately determine whether or not a motion of a user is good in an electronic device that detects the motion of the user by a sensor installed on a lower back portion. An analysis system S includes a sensor unit 1 and a processing device 2. The sensor unit 1 is installed on a lower back portion of a user. The processing device 2 includes a swing evaluating section 254. The swing evaluating section 254 extracts a first peak waveform and a second peak waveform in an output result of an angular speed measured by a sensor installed on the lower back portion of the user. The swing evaluating section 254 evaluates the motion of the user on the basis of an extraction result.

  • Patent number: 10881937
    Abstract: To present a measurement result on the motion of a subject more easily, a processor 3 of an analysis system S includes an image acquisition unit 357, a sensor information acquisition unit 356, an analysis unit 358, and an image creation unit 359. The image acquisition unit 357 acquires a taken image of the subject. The sensor information acquisition unit 356 acquires a measurement result of the motion of the subject measured with a sensor. The analysis unit 358 creates an index indicating the motion of the subject based on the measurement result acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 356. The image creation unit 359 makes an output unit 319 display an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 357 and an index created by the analysis unit 358 together.

  • Patent number: 9386263
    Abstract: When a continuous imaging mode is set, a screen is displayed for allowing input of a number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images, a determination is made as to whether the number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images have been input by the user. When the number of images to shoot and the imaging parameters for each of the images have been input, the input number of images and the imaging parameters are stored, and a direct image display is started. Moreover, when there is an imaging instruction, a continuous imaging process is started in which still imaging is performed continuously based on the stored number of images and the imaging parameters. When the continuous imaging process has been completed, the plurality of still image data, obtained with differing imaging parameters, is recorded.

  • Patent number: 8817133
    Abstract: In a digital camera 1, when a lagged-timing is recorded (Yes at Step S9), from the frame image picked up when the shutter is fully depressed, a frame image picked up at a timing equivalent to the lagged-timing is displayed (Step S10). When the cross-shaped key is operated before the SET key is operated, the displayed frame image is changed based on the operation (Step S12 and Step S13). Next, when the SET key is operated, the displayed frame image is recorded. In addition, a lag between the timing at which the recorded frame image is picked up and the timing at which the frame image picked up when the shutter is fully depressed is picked up is recorded (Step S15).

  • Patent number: 8488043
    Abstract: An image apparatus records images of a subject corresponding to a photo opportunity without intensifying complex operations after the imaging. When a SLOW button is depressed, a process is started in which frame image data that is obtained at an imaging frame rate is stored sequentially in a buffer memory. The frame image data is read out from the buffer memory at a display frame rate that is set in advance, and images are displayed on a display device based on this frame image data. When a shutter key is depressed, the frame image data read out from the buffer memory is recorded to storage memory.
