20100254671 | EDITING APPARATUS, EDITING METHOD, AND EDITING PROGRAM - Herein disclosed is an editing apparatus and an editing method for editing a moving image. An editing apparatus, comprises: a means for playing back a moving image; a switching means for switching playback between a first moving image and a second moving image; and a means for, during playback of the first moving image, in response to switching playback from the first moving image to the second moving image, setting a reference point at a last played back position of the first moving image. The editing apparatus further comprises: a controller for receiving an instruction from a user, wherein the switching means carries out the switching from the first moving image to the second moving image, in response to the controller receiving a selection of the second moving image from the user. | 10-07-2010 |
20100295778 | POINTER CONTROLLING APPARATUS, METHOD THEREOF, AND POINTER CONTROLLING PROGRAM - A pointer controlling apparatus, a control method, and a pointer controlling program are provided which can protect a button from erroneous operation without interrupting the operational flow or using excessive display area. The pointer controlling apparatus permits a pointer to move into a predetermined region after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the pointer comes into contact with a boundary line of the predetermined region. Accordingly, the predetermined area can be securely protected from a point in time at which the pointer comes into contact with the boundary line of the predetermined region for the predetermined amount of time. Furthermore, since the pointer is permitted to enter the predetermined region immediately after the predetermined time has elapsed, the predetermined region can be protected without interrupting the operational flow, and without using an excess of a display region. | 11-25-2010 |
20100309122 | POINTER CONTROLLING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an apparatus, a controlling method, and a controlling program for appropriately moving a pointer to a selection position regardless of alignment and size of function selection area, and improving operability and certainty of function selection in a GUI. The apparatus includes (1) means for determining whether or not the pointer has crossed over a boundary of a predetermined area from outside to inside based on position information of the pointer; (2) means for determining a speed of the pointer or whether or not an event has occurred, and setting two types of operating modes; (3) means for moving the pointer to a predetermined position within the area when the pointer has crossed over the boundary from outside to inside; and (4) means for changing a moving distance of the pointer, if the pointer moves at a speed less than a predetermined moving speed or the event has not occurred and when it is determined that the pointer exists within the area, based on the speed determined when the pointer existed outside the area. | 12-09-2010 |
20100310231 | EDITING APPARATUS, EDITING METHOD, AND EDITING PROGRAM - Herein disclosed are an editing apparatus, an editing method, and an editing program allowing quick editing of video data. In order to clip a section in the video data and play it to be broadcasted as a replay, receiving a request to start playback from a desired position, an in-point is set in response to the request, and an out-point is set in response to a request to finish playback. Then, other video data from the video data of a section between the in-point and the out-point is generated. | 12-09-2010 |
20110141344 | DIGITAL CAMERA - A digital camera includes: an imaging unit that receives and images a light from a subject transmitted a photographing optical system; a recognition unit that recognizes a feature region of the subject using an image obtained by imaging with the imaging unit; a detection unit that detects a size of the feature region that is recognized with the recognition unit; and a control unit that predicts a distance to the subject after a predetermined period of time according to the size of the feature region, and controls the photographing optical system so as to focus on the subject. | 06-16-2011 |
20110148779 | TOUCH PANEL DEVICE - A touch panel device is provided which, even in cases in which a plurality of GUI parts are arranged in a limited space, enables operation of a GUI part in which, unlike a physical button, it is hard to distinguish the boundary by touch, without operational error, using a finger with a very large contact area in comparison to a touch pen. A touch panel device includes a rectangular screen having a detection region which detects contact, and a control section for generating a control signal in response to the contact detected by the detection region. The detection region has a shape that is inclined with respect to a side edge of the rectangular screen. In cases in which a body-part used for the contact is a finger of a user; when the user uses the right hand, the detection region has a shape that is inclined to the left side with respect to the side edge of the rectangular screen; and when the user uses the left hand, the detection region has a shape that is inclined to the right side with respect to the side edge of the rectangular screen. | 06-23-2011 |
20110153649 | AUTOMATIC SEARCH AND TRANSFER APPARATUS AND AUTOMATIC SEARCH AND TRANSFER SYSTEM - It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic search and transfer apparatus, in which a condition for finding data that is desired is specified beforehand, and that continuously monitor data created in network-connected computers, automatically collect data that matches the condition, and put the data into a usable state. Herein discloses is an automatic search and transfer apparatus that automatically searches for and transfers data from a computer connected via a network. The apparatus comprising: a keyword input section that inputs a keyword; a search section that searches for data including the keyword and acquires attribute data of concerned data from the computer connected via the network; a reporting section that reports information relating to the concerned data; a reception section that receives the concerned data; and a data storage section that stores the data.
