Publication number: 20230154148Abstract: An image capturing apparatus capable of suppressing reading of a two-dimensional code not intended by a user when the two-dimensional code is present within a photographing view angle without taking time and labor for the user to operate is provided. The image capturing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain an image, a first detecting unit configured to detect a specific subject from the image, a second detecting unit configured to detect an identifier from the image, a reading unit configured to read predetermined information from the identifier, and a processing unit configured to execute a processing based on the predetermined information. The processing unit is configured to selectively execute the processing based on a distance from the center of a photographing view angle of the obtained image to a region that the specific subject is detected and a distance from the center of the photographing view angle of the obtained image to a region that the identifier is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventor: Tetsuya Hada

Patent number: 10671203Abstract: There is provided an apparatus that can prevent invoking of unintended functions in gesture operation. The apparatus displays gesture functions executable by movement of touch position, and when movement of touch position satisfies a first condition, confirms executable gesture functions to display confirmed functions. When the movement of touch position satisfies a second condition after the confirmation, the apparatus cancels the confirmation. When the touch input is released in the confirmed state, the apparatus executes the confirmed functions, and when the touch input is released in the canceled state, control does not execute gesture functions.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tetsuya Hada

Patent number: 10200616Abstract: An image processing device capable of rotating an image through a desired rotation angle such that a display direction of an image matches a posture of a user. A first image pickup section acquires a main image, and a second image pickup section acquires a sub image. A display image formed by combining the main image and the sub image is displayed on a display section. Rotation instructions for rotating the main image and the sub image displayed on the display section are separately given. The main image and the sub image are rotated according to the respective rotation instructions. The main image and the sub image, on which rotation processing has been performed, respectively, are combined and displayed on the display section.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tetsuya Hada
