The mobile information terminal includes a pressure sensor array that acquires a gripping pressure distribution; a gripping pressure logger that records time-series changes in gripping pressure at each pressure sensor forming the pressure sensor array; a gripping pressure change point detection unit that includes a gripping pressure change amount calculation section that acquires time-series changes in gripping pressure at each pressure sensor and determines whether the amount of change in gripping pressure per unit time exceeds a predetermined value at any pressure sensor; and an operation state determination section that determines the operation state of the user of the mobile information terminal is one-handed operation when the amount of change in gripping pressure per unit time exceeds the predetermined value at any pressure sensor. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140139552 | OBJECT DISPLAY DEVICE, OBJECT DISPLAY METHOD, AND OBJECT DISPLAY PROGRAM - An object display device includes an image capturing unit for acquiring an image in real space, an image feature extraction unit for extracting a predetermined feature about an image either in a plurality of feature regions detected from the image in real space or in the entire image in real space, an image processing unit for performing correction processing on an image of an object based on the predetermined feature about the image, and a display unit for displaying an overlaid image in which the image of the object subjected to correction processing is overlaid on the image in real space. With this configuration, the feature of the image in real space is appropriately reflected in the image of the object in the overlaid image. | 05-22-2014 |
