Patent number: 7492495Abstract: An optical scanning apparatus in which keystone distortion non-linearity distortion in a projected image can be excellently corrected is provided. An optical scanning apparatus has light source means and deflecting means for deflecting a light beam emitted from the light source means two-dimensionally in a first direction and a second directrion, the deflection speed of the deflecting means being higher in the first direction than in the second direction. The deflecting means is driven in such a way that its angular velocity in the second direction is smaller when optically scanning a position on the surface to be scanned at which the angle of incidence of the deflected light beam in the second direction is larger than when optically scanning a position on said surface to be scanned at which the angle of incidence of the deflected light beam in said second direction is small.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keiichiro Ishihara, Shigehiro Kadota

Patent number: 7337225Abstract: In an information processing apparatus which is connected to an external terminal having an input unit via a network, can receive an input from the input unit of the external terminal, and has its own input unit, an exclusion manager (23) monitors an input from the input unit of the external terminal and that from the self input unit. As a result of monitoring, if an input from a given input unit is generated, the exclusion manager executes exclusion control that inhibits an input from the other input unit until that input is completed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigehiro Kadota

Patent number: 7242370Abstract: In a multidisplay system, an image is displayed without necessitating a display control signal supplied from an external device. Each image display device in the multidisplay system includes an interface for receiving image data and transferring the image data to an image display device at a downstream location. Each image display device also includes a DDC (Display Data Channel) communication processor and a rewritable memory for storing EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information. When another image display device is connected at a downstream location, EDID information is acquired from the connected image display device via the DDC communication processor, and display resolution information and interconnection information are set. In particular, the display resolution described in the EDID information is rewritten by the display resolution information set in the above process.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2003Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihiro Ouchi, Shigehiro Kadota

Patent number: 6535205Abstract: According to the present invention, a process for coordinate data entered by a currently used coordinate input device is automatically performed first, without a special mode setting operation being required. First, a mouse driver is initialized, and then, a check is performed to determine whether a button on a digitizer is depressed. When the button on the digitizer is depressed, a corresponding process is performed, and the mouse driver is returned to the initial state after a predetermined time has elapsed. When a button on a mouse is depressed, a corresponding process is performed, and the mouse driver is returned to the initial state after a predetermined time has elapsed.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigehiro Kadota
