Takeshi Myoken has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Control apparatus, head-mounted display, control system, control method, and program
    Patent number: 10488654
    Abstract: Control of luminance of a light-emitting unit is enabled without separately providing a device for measuring the luminance of the light-emitting unit. A posture specifying unit specifies a posture of a user-controllable object including the light-emitting unit that emits light at luminance according to drive current, the posture specified based on a posture specifying image taken by a camera, the posture specifying image including an image of the light-emitting unit. A luminance information specifying unit specifies information indicating the luminance of the light-emitting unit based on a luminance specifying image taken by the camera that takes the posture specifying image, the luminance specifying image including an image of the light-emitting unit. A drive current control unit controls the drive current of the light-emitting unit based on the specified information indicating the luminance of the light-emitting unit.

  • Control apparatus, head-mounted display, control system, control method, and program
    Patent number: 10368007
    Abstract: In a head-mounted display including a light-emitting unit for specifying a posture, control of luminance of the light-emitting unit is enabled without separately providing a device for measuring the luminance of the light-emitting unit. A posture specifying unit specifies a posture of an HMD including a light-emitting unit that emits light at luminance according to drive current, the posture specified based on a posture specifying image taken by a camera, the posture specifying image including an image of the light-emitting unit. A luminance information specifying unit specifies information indicating the luminance of the light-emitting unit based on a luminance specifying image taken by the camera that takes the posture specifying image, the luminance specifying image including an image of the light-emitting unit. A drive current control unit controls the drive current of the light-emitting unit based on the specified information indicating the luminance of the light-emitting unit.
