Patent number: 9170472Abstract: According to an aspect, a portable photographing device includes: an image capturing unit; a projecting unit for projecting an image; and a storing unit for storing an image captured by the image capturing unit. The projecting unit projects any of a first image captured by the image capturing unit, a second image related to the first image, and a third image obtained by synthesizing the first image with the second image as a projection image into a region which is different from an image capturing region of the photographing unit. The storing unit stores the first image in the projection of the projection image or the first image after the projection of the projection image.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura, Masatsugu Nakamura

Patent number: 8890992Abstract: A mobile electronic device 10 includes a projector 34, a camera 36, and a processing unit 22. The projector 34 projects an image, and the camera 36 captures the image projected by the projector 34. Based on first image information for causing the projector 34 to project a predetermined image and second image information obtained by capturing the image projected by the projector 34 based on the first image information by the camera 36, the processing unit 22 determines whether the projector 34 projects the predetermined image. When determining that the projector 34 fails to project the predetermined image, the processing unit 22 suppresses output of the projector 34 for projecting the image.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Masashi Osaka, Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura

Patent number: 8876300Abstract: An image projecting apparatus for projecting an image includes a light source, a light emitting port, an emitting unit, and a control unit. The emitting unit causes the light emitted from the light source to be emitted from the light emitting port in such a manner that an emission direction of the light emitted from the light emitting port is variable. The control unit controls the light source and the emitting unit to switch between a first projection mode and a second projection mode. When the image projecting apparatus is placed on a horizontal plane, the emission direction is a front direction of the light emitting port or obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal plane in the first projection mode, and the emission direction is obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal plane in the second projection mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura, Jouji Yoshikawa
