20090021600 | IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An image pickup device includes a system control section which determines an area with closest proximity as an AF area among AF evaluation areas in a central part of an image. In addition, a block with the same distance as the AF area is determined as a main subject block. Then the system control section calculates and memorizes an average brightness of an image data of a position corresponding to a main subject block. Then, the system control section determines a main subject area based on obtained information on the main subject block and a photographed image. Furthermore, based on information on a main subject area, an extraction processing of the main subject image, a blur processing of a background image and a composite processing are sequentially performed. | 01-22-2009 |
20090262213 | IMAGING DEVICE AND SUBJECT DETECTION METHOD - An imaging device includes a first detection part which detects one or more subjects in an image captured by the image capturing part capturing an image continuously; a second detection part which follows the one or more subjects detected; and a system control part which includes a setting part setting a part of the image as a limited region, and causes, after the first detection part detects the one or more subjects in the captured image, the second detection part to follow and detect a subject in an image captured subsequently to the captured image, and causes the first detection part to detect a subject in the limited region. | 10-22-2009 |
20100007759 | IMAGE PROCESSOR, IMAGING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processor performs blurring processing on an image acquired via a lens system and including a main subject image and a background image, and includes an image processing section having a reduction rate determiner part which determines a reduction rate of the background image based on at least one of a focal length of the lens system, a distance between the main subject image and the background image, level of the blurring processing, and an image size of the background image; an image reduction part which reduces the background image at the reduction rate determined by the reduction rate determiner part; a spatial filter processing part which performs spatial filter processing on the background image reduced by the image reduction part; and an image enlargement part which enlarges the background image processed by the spatial filter processing part at an enlargement rate as an inverse of the reduction rate. | 01-14-2010 |

20120140741 | RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a radio communication system that enables handovers between radio base stations to be conducted at a short time using a mobile communication terminal having one radio communication part. A pseudo radio communication control part in a mobile communication terminal links with a packet transfer part and a remote radio control part in a radio bridge device to enable operation as though a radio communication part disposed in the radio bridge device were directly connected to the mobile communication terminal. Thus, even when radio communication parts are disposed in a plurality of terminals, by using the pseudo radio communication control part instead of a radio communication control part, an application can carry out control as though all the radio communication parts were connected in the same terminal. | 06-07-2012 |
20120300694 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD - A first communication station connects to a higher-order station or a lower-order station in a communication path of multi-hop wireless communication, and performs wireless communication with a mobile terminal in an access area in predetermined wireless resources that differs from a relay area used for wireless communication with the higher-order station or the lower-order station in the wireless resources. A second communication station that constitutes a communication path different from the foregoing communication path of multi-hop wireless communication and that can use wireless resources to perform wireless communication with a mobile terminal acquires information indicating the relay area in the wireless resources. | 11-29-2012 |
20130113940 | IMAGING DEVICE AND SUBJECT DETECTION METHOD - An imaging device includes a first detection part which detects one or more subjects in an image captured by the image capturing part capturing an image continuously; a second detection part which follows the one or more subjects detected; and a system control part which includes a setting part setting a part of the image as a limited region, and causes, after the first detection part detects the one or more subjects in the captured image, the second detection part to follow and detect a subject in an image captured subsequently to the captured image, and causes the first detection part to detect a subject in the limited region. | 05-09-2013 |
20130250958 | COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL SERVER, FORWARDING NODE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL PROGRAM - A communication control system includes a control server for controlling a process rule held in a forwarding node. The control server includes a network information storage unit for storing a logical network identifier which is an identifier of a logical network defined by setting of the forwarding node, and a correspondence relation between a device connected to the forwarding node and the logical network; and an address resolution unit for, upon receiving from the forwarding node an address resolution request for a destination communication device which is a destination of the packet or a communication device for forwarding the packet received from a source communication device which is a source of the packet to another device, performing interlayer address resolution for the destination communication device or the communication device, and setting the logical network identifier of the logical network to which the source communication device belongs. | 09-26-2013 |
20140233577 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A communication system includes: a plurality of nodes; a first node transmitting a request for a processing rule for processing a first packet; and a control apparatus including a first unit determining a first processing rule corresponding to the first packet in response to the request and preliminarily determining a second processing rule corresponding to a second packet that relates to the first packet and a second unit notifying the first node of the first processing rule and notifying at least one of the plurality of nodes of the second processing rule. | 08-21-2014 |
20140281053 | I/O DEVICE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING I/O DEVICE - A plurality of bridge units which connect a computer, a data movement source I/O device, and a data movement destination I/O device to a network, a memory unit which relays movement of data between the data movement source I/O device and the data movement destination I/O device outside the computer, and an I/O data movement control unit which causes the data movement source I/O device to write data to the memory unit and causes the data movement destination I/O device to read the data from the memory unit are included. | 09-18-2014 |
