  • Patent number: 12005570
    Abstract: A synchronization controller performs control so that operator motion data is transmitted to a robot when a synchronization switch is set to ON which allows synchronization of a rotational motion of an operator with a rotational motion of the robot. An image correction unit, when there is a difference between a first rotation angle of the operator and a second rotation angle of the robot, corrects a cutout range of an image so as to be equal to a range corresponding to the first rotation angle. The synchronization controller performs control so that the operator motion data is not transmitted to the robot when the synchronization switch is set to OFF which does not allow synchronization of a rotational motion of the operator with a rotational motion. The image correction unit corrects the cutout range so as to be equal to a range corresponding to the first rotation angle.

  • Publication number: 20230026805
    Abstract: When a controller controls a driver so as to move a moving unit in accordance with a user's movement, the controller controls a video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to an image display device have a first display mode. When the controller controls the driver so as to move the moving unit regardless of the user's movement, the controller controls the video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to the image display device have a second display mode.

  • Publication number: 20220392223
    Abstract: A recording apparatus includes an imaging data acquisition unit, a movement information acquisition unit, an inter-vehicle detection unit and a recording control unit. The imaging data acquisition unit acquires imaging data and voice data. The movement information acquisition unit acquires movement information including a moving speed of the vehicle. The inter-vehicle detection unit detects an inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and the other vehicle. The recording control unit determines that a voice recording condition is established when the moving speed of the vehicle is equal to or higher than a preset speed and the inter-vehicle distance is less than a preset distance, and causes the recording unit to record a first imaging data including the video data and the voice data when the voice recording condition is established or a second imaging data including the video data but not the voice data when the condition is not established.

  • Patent number: 11146755
    Abstract: A dashcam serving as an on-vehicle image capturing and recording apparatus includes: a cancellation processing unit configured to perform cancellation processing for reducing an electronic device sound on a sound acquired by a surrounding image/sound acquisition unit based on the characteristics of an electronic device sound acquired by an electronic device sound acquisition unit; and an abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality of a vehicle, in which the acquired sound of the surroundings of the vehicle and a cancel sound are temporality recorded, a recording control unit is configured to discard the cancel sound and integrate only the sound of the surroundings of the vehicle with the image and record the integrated data when the abnormality detection unit does not detect an abnormality and otherwise records the cancel sounds and the sounds of the surroundings of the vehicle along with the image as overwriting prohibited data.
