Patent number: 11800237Abstract: An imaging device that images a disease site as a subject includes a camera body, a light unit that is provided in the camera body and includes a first light source and a second light source that have different characteristics, and a filter unit that includes at least one independent filter capable of being positioned on and retracted from an optical axis of the camera body. The imaging device performs continuous imaging by imaging in a state in which the subject is illuminated with light from the first light source and, via a first mode, the filter is positioned on or retracted from the optical axis and, thereafter, imaging in a state in which the subject is illuminated with light from the second light source and, via a second mode that differs from the first mode, the filter is positioned on or retracted from the optical axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshiharu Houjou, Nobuhiro Aoki, Shigeki Mineo

Publication number: 20210265060Abstract: A diagnosis assistance device includes at least one microphone that collects voice around an affected area, and at least one processor. The at least one processor determines, based on image data that is data of a captured image of the affected area, whether the affected area is malignant, and stores in a memory the voice collected by the microphone when determination is made that the affected area is malignant.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Aoki, Yoshiharu Houjou, Shigeki Mineo, Junichi Takei

Publication number: 20130038546Abstract: The present invention enables a user to make adjustment with less stress, while preventing discomfort to or adverse effects on the user. During video playback, music playback, image-capturing, etc., a display panel displays a slide bar. Then, when a user performs a slide operation on the slide bar on the touch panel, and the speed of the slide operation is judged to be faster than a set speed, a control section controls an adjustment amount based on the set speed. Conversely, when the speed of the slide operation is judged to be slower than the set speed, the control section controls the adjustment amount based on the speed of the slide operation. At this stage, a touch display section displays an adjustment position based on the slide operation, a position corresponding to the controlled adjustment amount, etc., in association with the slide bar.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Applicant: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Shigeki MINEO

Patent number: 5544296Abstract: When a field framing line for surrounding record data upon record data output is drawn on a display screen, the parameters of each line segment constituting the field framing line are generated and stored. When a plurality of stored record items are to be output, the parameters are read out each time the record data is read out. A field frame line is formed on the basis of the readout parameters, and the formed field framing line is output together with the readout record data.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1994Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeki Mineo
