Patent number: 9681054Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: a first communication control unit that receives action instruction information from an external communication device; and a pseudo image generating unit that generates a pseudo image simulatively expressing an action by a user of the imaging apparatus according to an action instruction based on the action instruction information. The action instruction information includes angle change instruction information and shooting instruction information. The pseudo image generating unit generates, based on a position information and a first orientation information respectively acquired upon receipt of the shooting instruction information, as well as on the shooting instruction information, a first pseudo image, and generates, based on the angle change instruction information, a second pseudo image.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro Sato, Mai Yamaguchi, Yuiko Uemura, Tomomi Uemura, Sachie Yamamoto, Osamu Nonaka

Patent number: 8982264Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a communication unit, a display unit, a selecting unit, an imaging unit, and a control unit. The communication unit acquires image data of a connection partner from an external apparatus of the imaging apparatus. The display unit displays an image in accordance with the acquired image data of the connection partner. The selecting unit selects, as a connection side, one of sides of the image displayed on the display unit. The imaging unit images a subject to acquire image data to be connected to the image data of the connection partner after the connection side is selected by the selecting unit. The control unit records the image data acquired by the imaging unit in a recording unit together with information indicating the position of the connection side.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Olympus Imaging Corp.Inventors: Kazuhiro Sato, Izumi Sakuma, Tomomi Uemura, Osamu Nonaka
