Yasuyoshi Yokokohji has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Image display apparatus, image display method, measurement apparatus, measurement method, information processing method, information processing apparatus, and identification method
    Patent number: 7423553
    Abstract: An external index detection unit (105) receives an image sensed by a camera (100), and detects an external index set in a real scene. A tachometer (110) measures the rotational velocities of two rear wheels of a vehicle. A vehicle measurement unit (120) measures the position and azimuth of the vehicle on the basis of the image coordinate position of the external index and the rotational velocities of the two rear wheels of the vehicle. A head index detection unit (135) receives an image sensed by a camera (130), and detects a head index set on the head of a passenger (132). A head measurement unit (140) measures the position of the head on the basis of the image coordinate position of the head index.

  • Remote Control Device
    Publication number: 20080193260
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a remote control device is disclosed which enables a user to intuitively operate a target to control such as a robot arm with a little burden, and command various motions to the target. The remote control device includes a master arm main body, joints, and a handgrip controller, and an elbow switch. The master arm main body conveys motions of the user's arm to the robot arm. The elbow switch is provided at a position of the master arm body, on which the user can place his elbow, and has a motion control with 2 degrees of freedom.
