  • Patent number: 10893828
    Abstract: A determination apparatus includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a controller. The first acquisition unit acquires a facial photograph image, included in a medium holding the facial photograph image, as a first facial image. The second acquisition unit acquires a captured image obtained by capturing an image of an imaging area, in which the face of a driver is assumed to be located, at a start of driving and/or during driving. The controller extracts an image of the face of the driver as a second facial image from the captured image acquired from the second acquisition unit, compares the first facial image and the second facial image, and determines whether the driver is the person in the facial photograph image held by the medium.

  • Patent number: 8704876
    Abstract: A 3D video processor that outputs a left-eye image and a right-eye image to be superimposed on main video includes: a left-eye object processing unit that outputs the left-eye image; a right-eye object processing unit that outputs the right-eye image; and an image output control unit that controls the left-eye object processing unit and the right-eye object processing unit so that the images are synchronously outputted. The left-eye object processing unit determines if image output preparation of the left-eye image is completed. The right-eye object processing unit determines if image output preparation of the right-eye image is completed. The image output control unit instructs to skip the output of both the images, when the image output preparation of one of the left-eye image and the right-eye image is not completed.

  • Publication number: 20070140668
    Abstract: The stream control device includes: (a) a series of units from an AV output device to a de-multiplexing unit, which decodes a stream and outputs the decoded data; (b) a parameter list storage unit in which a parameter list is stored, the parameter list including basic list structures connected in series, each of which has parameter information characterizing the respective processing performed by the units from the AV output device to the de-multiplexing unit; (c) a device driver execution unit which executes, based on the parameter list, a device driver which controls the respective processing performed by the units from the AV output device to the de-multiplexing unit; and (d) an application program execution unit which executes an application program which provides the device driver execution unit with a first address of the parameter list as an argument. Thereby, it is possible to reduce processing for designing different software interfaces for the respective device drivers.
