Patent number: 11778312Abstract: An image capture system that can ensure the rigidity and heat dissipation performance of an external connection apparatus, and also has excellent wireless communication performance. An image capture apparatus includes a first wireless communication section. An external connection apparatus includes a second wireless communication section. The second wireless communication section performs wireless communication with the first wireless communication section. The external connection apparatus is removably attached to the image capture apparatus. The first wireless communication section is disposed toward an attachment surface of the image capture apparatus to which the external connection apparatus is attached, with respect to the photographing optical axis. In a state in which the external connection apparatus is attached to the image capture apparatus, the two wireless communication sections are opposed to each other in a direction orthogonal to a direction of attaching the apparatuses to each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Satoshi Kawase, Natsumi Sekiguchi

Patent number: 11074359Abstract: A mapping between private information to be protected and identifier information for an object is recorded. The object is detected by analyzing sensor data received from a sensor device within a private computer network, in which the object has one or more attributes associated therewith. An analysis report is generated about the object by excluding the private information from the analysis report based on the mapping, in which the analysis report includes a non-private part of the one or more attributes. The analysis report is transmitted to a remote computer system located outside the private computer network without the private information.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hiroyasu Ohsaki, Satoshi Kawase

Patent number: 10992632Abstract: Evaluating messaging content on a computer-based communications network includes classifying, using computer hardware, a response to a message previously rated by a user. The message, the response to the message, and the rating by the user can each be provided on the computer-based communications network. Evaluating messaging content also includes automatically changing, with the computer hardware, the rating of the message when the classifying of the response results in a classification that satisfies a predefined rating change condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Masami Tada, Sanehiro Furuichi, Akira Ohkado, Satoshi Kawase

Patent number: 8752246Abstract: An electronic apparatus excellent in workability in mounting a lid to an apparatus housing. The electronic apparatus comprises a housing having a pair of bearing portions, and a battery lid unit having a pair of shafts for being rotatably fitted in the bearing portions, respectively. A movable shaft of the shafts is axially retractable, and the battery lid unit is openable and closable with respect to the housing about the shafts. An urging spring has a contact portion for contact with the housing, and urges the battery lid unit in an opening direction with respect to the housing. The contact portion is moved according to retraction of the movable shaft such that an urging range through which the urging member urges the lid in the opening direction becomes smaller than a range of the pivotal motion of the lid with respect to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2010Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuyuki Inoue, Satoshi Kawase

Patent number: 8052527Abstract: A plurality of first missions (mission A (M 1A), mission B (M1B), and mission C (M1C)) are set corresponding to different battle areas in a game space 2. The operations of NPCs are automatically controlled so that friend NPCs 8 and enemy NPCs 9 involved in each first mission simultaneously fight a battle in parallel. A player character 6 is automatically determined to have participated in the first mission for which the player character 6 has approached the battle area or the first mission in which the enemy NPC 9 which has been shot down by the player character 6 is involved, and individual mission support contribution points Pa, Pb, Pc, and total support contribution points Pt are increased when the player character 6 has shot down the enemy NPC 9. When the player has performed a support request operation input, the total support contribution points Pt are decreased by given points.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Namco Bandai Games Inc.Inventors: Satoshi Kawase, Toshiyuki Ishii

Patent number: 7194509Abstract: A collaboration client's behavior is changed according to context while collaborating on an internet. An HTTP request from a customer-side browser is sent to a web server via an information terminal support server. The web server then sends context in response to the request to the customer-side web browser via the information terminal support server. The information terminal support server then checks the contents of the context, and when it is determined that there is agreement with a predetermined condition, a command is inserted into the context. Context without the command inserted is sent to the customer-side web browser, and context with the command inserted is sent to the agent-side web browser. A client program of the agent-side information terminal then reads the embedded command using an API possessed by a web browser and carries out processing in order to prohibit form submission and form alteration and conceal specific forms or fields in accordance with the contents of this command.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Satoshi Kawase, Akira Ohkado, Yoichi Yoshida
