  • Patent number: 8633941
    Abstract: An image-processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a determining unit determining a type of image data; a holding unit holding color value for the still images, and holding a ratio for the moving image for each moving image, an updating unit updating the color value and the ratio, and a display unit displaying composite image data. For each piece of image data to be drawn, the updating unit updates each ratio based on a transmittance of the image data, updates the color value and a transmittance of a still image when it is a still image, and updates the color value data based on a transmittance of a moving image, and causes the transmittance to be further held as a ratio of the moving image when it is a moving image. The display unit displays the composite image data using the color value and the ratio.

  • Patent number: 7590946
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit configured to display an item list component including at least one scroll indicator for scroll indication on a screen; and a display-position setting unit configured to set the display position of the scroll indicator such that the scroll indicator is displayed in a direction opposite to the direction in which the item list component extends beyond the screen or orthogonal to the direction in which the item list component extends beyond the screen, if the item list component extends beyond the screen.

  • Patent number: 7453438
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus and method for ensuring security when a virtual keyboard is used while an image displayed on a display is disclosed to the outside are provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether or not a virtual keyboard is displayed on a display (S100). If a virtual keyboard is displayed, it is determined whether or not a target character input window onto which characters are input by using the virtual keyboard is a password input window (S101). If this window is the password input window, VRAM distribution is temporarily stopped (S102). With this operation, the distribution of the image stored in the VRAM (i.e., the image displayed on the display) is stopped while a virtual input device is displayed on the display and the target character input window is the password input window.

  • Patent number: 6947447
    Abstract: An image communication apparatus includes a packet transmitting unit for transmitting image data or sound data in packets and a detecting unit for detecting the amount of sound data to be transmitted in packets. The apparatus also includes a control unit for switching the packet size of image data to be transmitted in packets by the packet transmitting unit, according to the result of detection performed by the detecting unit. Sound data accompanying image data is smoothly transferred to the receiving side in packet transmission of image data and sound data.

  • Patent number: 6462749
    Abstract: By reconfiguring configuration information items according to the need, it was made possible to implement a natural displayed scene. Initialize the time “t” to “O”, extract the attribute information item (position, size and display time information) of every (object) from the configuration information items sent from a communication network after getting through the step and detect the objects coincident in display time with the time “t”. Then, acquire an inclusive relation (correlation) between individual (objects) from the position and size information of the detected nodes (objects), reconfigure the configuration information items on the basis of the inclusive relation, further advance the time “t” by a predetermined frame rate and thereafter return to the step to repeat the above processing.
