  • Patent number: 9807255
    Abstract: Image data output from an image capturing unit is input to an image processing circuit, and the image processing circuit is connected in cascade to another image processing circuit. With the image processing circuit, a portion of the image data for which processing is shared is processed by the image processing circuit, the processed image data is multiplexed by a multiplexing unit with another portion of the image data to be processed by the other image processing circuit, and is transmitted to the other image processing circuit by an output IF unit. The other image processing circuit processes its share of the image data and displays it along with the processed image data received from an image processing unit.

  • Patent number: 9720440
    Abstract: There is provided a communication apparatus. A communication unit transmits data to a communication module, which communicates with an external device, according to a clock signal, and receives data from the communication module in accordance with a timing corresponding to a timing signal generated by delaying the clock signal. An adjustment unit adjusts an amount of the delay. A control unit controls the communication unit to repeatedly perform first processing for transmitting a first command to the communication module, second processing for receiving a first response that is sent from the communication module, and third processing for transmitting a packet to the communication module according to the first response. In a predetermined mode, the control unit controls the communication unit to perform processing for transmitting data of the packet regardless of contents of the first response.
