Takuya Totsuka 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).

  • Imaging apparatus, method of operating imaging apparatus, and recording medium
    Patent number: 11857155
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a processor, an imaging device, and a light source. The processor is configured to determine whether or not the imaging device has gone out of space of which at least part is surrounded by an object when the imaging device is performing imaging after the imaging device is inserted into the space. The processor is configured to execute power-saving control when the processor determines that the imaging device has gone out of the space. In the power-saving control, the processor is configured to make power consumption of a control target less than power consumption of the control target before the power-saving control is executed. The control target is at least one of the imaging device and the light source.

  • Imaging apparatus and recording medium operating in a first mode or a second mode based on determined brightness of an image
    Patent number: 11343428
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device and a processor. The processor is configured to determine brightness of an image when the imaging apparatus is operating in a second operation mode. The processor is configured to increase imaging sensitivity of the imaging device when the processor determines that the brightness is darker than or equal to a first brightness. The processor is configured to cause the imaging apparatus to operate in a first operation mode when the processor determines that the brightness is darker than or equal to a second brightness darker than the first brightness after the processor increases the imaging sensitivity.
