  • Patent number: 8531503
    Abstract: The present invention is an imaging apparatus including: a receiving unit that receives information representing a first focal length from a terminal which produces an image of a first imaging area by capturing an image of a subject at the first focal length; an imaging unit that produces an image of a second imaging area by capturing an image of the subject at a second focal length; an extraction unit that extracts a characteristic area of the subject from the image of the second imaging area based on information representing the first focal length and information representing the second focal length; and a transmitting unit that transmits information regarding the image of the characteristic area to the terminal.

  • Patent number: 8456671
    Abstract: A communication system, information storage device, management device, and terminal device which enable information transmission which takes into consideration the circumstances on the receiving side, are provided. An external equipment 9 transmits to a commanding device 4 service information, indicating the type of service which it itself provides and the service execution priority or the service state. The commanding device 4 stores the received service information, and transmits the service information to an image capture device 1. The image capture device 1 selects the external equipment 9 as the transmission destination for content information based on the received service information, and transmits the content information.

  • Patent number: 8259186
    Abstract: A communication terminal comprises a storage unit, a selection unit, and a communication unit. The storage unit stores electronic data and condition information indicating a selection condition of the electronic data. The selection unit selects the electronic data from among the electronic data stored in the storage unit and the electronic data indicated by possession information indicating the electronic data possessed by other communication terminals joining data sharing based on the condition information. The communication unit receives the possession information from the other communication terminals between a first timing and a second timing when the selection unit selects the electronic data.

  • Publication number: 20120026324
    Abstract: An image capturing terminal includes an image capturing unit, a sensor, a calculation unit, and an addition unit. The image capturing unit captures an object and generates an image. The sensor acquires information on a movement from a first image capturing position to a second image capturing position. The calculation unit calculates a relative position of a second image capturing position with reference to the first image capturing position based on the information on movement. The addition unit adds information that indicates the relative position to the image captured in the second image capturing position.
