  • Patent number: 8441504
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a control amount calculating unit configured to calculate an equivalent electric power value using a pixel value of an input video signal, the equivalent electric power value corresponding to an amount of energy involved when an image based on the video signal is displayed on a display unit, and to calculate a control amount for controlling display luminance of the display unit so that the equivalent electric power value becomes equal to a predetermined value, and a correction processing unit configured to control the display luminance using the control amount calculated by the control amount calculating unit.

  • Patent number: 8172680
    Abstract: An information processing system includes an input section that inputs movement information of an object on which a user performed an operation in an operation environment, and an output section that holds another object in a remote site remote from the operation environment and reproduces a movement of the object on which the user performed the operation on the basis of the movement information received from the input section.

  • Publication number: 20080320072
    Abstract: A system includes first and second information processing apparatuses. The first apparatus: performs processing on each of a plurality of local area data using a processing scheme, the data being obtained by dividing an input signal, the processing scheme being selected from processing schemes, respectively; and outputs an output signal containing local area processing result data as each the processed result and not containing information on the processing schemes used on each local area processing result. The second apparatus: extracts the local area processing result data from the output signal of the first apparatus, estimates each processing scheme used for the processing on each extracted local area processing result data, and reconstructs each local area data corresponding thereto on the basis of the estimated processing scheme, and reconstructs the input signal of the first apparatus by combining each the reconstructed local area data.
