Title: Innovations by Kei Nitta
Introduction
Kei Nitta is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of information processing, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing user experience through innovative sound processing technologies.
Latest Patents
Nitta's latest patents include an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system. The information processing apparatus features an output processing unit, a recognized-position acquisition unit, and a comparing unit. The output processing unit generates sound using a head-related transfer function of a user measured in advance. This sound is output from a virtual sound source located at a first position in the user's surrounding space. The recognized-position acquisition unit acquires information about a second position in the space, which the user recognizes as the position of the virtual sound source. The comparing unit then compares the first and second positions. Based on the comparison results, the output processing unit adjusts the position of the virtual sound source to enhance the user's auditory experience.
Another of his patents involves an information processing apparatus that includes a determination unit and a display control unit. The determination unit obtains the position of a virtual object relative to a display region and checks if a correction allowable region overlaps with the display region when the virtual object is outside it. If the determination unit finds that the correction allowable region overlaps with the display region, the display control unit displays part of a display object showing the virtual object.
