  • Patent number: 10403141
    Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method to process traffic sound data to provide in-vehicle driver assistance are disclosed herein. The system includes one or more circuits in an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first vehicle. The one or more circuits in the ECU are configured to receive sound data captured by two or more audio-input devices associated with the first vehicle. The sound data corresponds to sound emanated from one or more other vehicles. Thereafter, a relative position (distance and/or angle) of the first vehicle from a second vehicle of the one or more other vehicles is determined based on the received sound data. Further, an in-vehicle alert is generated for the first vehicle based on the determined relative position. The in-vehicle alert comprises a virtual sound representative of sound emanated from the second vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8237741
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that displays, on a display region having a first number of pixels, an image represented by gigantic image data that is recorded in a recording medium and has a second number of pixels that is significantly greater than the first number of pixels, including: a reproducing unit configured to read image data from the recording medium; an output unit configured to output the image data, which is read by the reproducing unit from the recording medium, in synchronization with a vertical synchronization signal; and a control unit configured to control the reproducing unit and the output unit. The control unit performs control to extract and read a region corresponding to the display region from the gigantic image data recorded in the recording medium.

  • Patent number: 7103842
    Abstract: Realizing a presentation system which can present picture data and voice data in a simplified manner after shooting and picking up pictures by a digital still camera, etc. and recording voices by a voice recorder, etc. Firstly, when the presentation system executes the program, a folder will be selected to specify a recording area in the personal computer 10 (step 1). After obtaining temporal information of all picture data and voice data in the folder, the presentation system performs relating operation for pages of slides so that the picture data and the voice data correspond to the slides at the time of data presentation (step 2). Next, the presentation system makes the user select whether information processing for data will be performed or not (step 3).
