A display terminal including a photographing device comprises: an image analysis unit configured to analyze an image captured by the photographing device, use region information that is information of a region on the image which corresponds to a real object existing in the external field, and refer to an icon DB so as to specify an icon related to the real object; and an app start unit configured to obtain an application associated with the specified icon from an app DB and start the application.

Display terminal, application control system and application control method

There is provided an imaging device including: an image processing unit; a face recognition processing unit; a storage unit; and a composition processing unit for generating composite data by a composition process so that persons photographed in each of a plurality of image data are included in one image data. The face recognition processing unit recognizes a first person by performing a face recognition process on first image data. When second image data obtained by photographing a second person at the different photographing timing of the first image data, with the same background as the first image data, is recorded in the storage unit, the composition processing unit generates composite data in which the first person and the second person are superimposed on the same background.

Imaging device and image processing method

There is provided a portable terminal devicethat notifies a television receiverof a received phone call or mail. The portable terminal deviceincludes a communication unitthat receives a phone call or mail and communicates with the television receiver, a notification execution unitthat performs control in a case where information of the phone call or the mail received by the communication unit is notified to the television receiver, and a posture detection execution unitthat detects a posture of the portable terminal device. In a case where the communication unit receives a phone call or mail, the notification execution unit changes content of the information of the received phone call or mail according to a detection result of the posture detection execution unit and notifies the television receiver of the changed content.

Portable terminal device, television receiver, and incoming call notification method

The present invention provides an image pickup device that recognizes the object that the user is attempting to capture as the subject, tracks the movement of that subject, and can continue tracking the movement of the subject even when the subject leaves the capturing area so that the subject can always be reliably brought into focus. The image pickup device includes a main camera that captures the subject; an EVF that displays the captured image captured by the main camera, a sub-camera that captures the subject using a wider capturing region than the main camera, and a processing unit that extracts the subject from the captured images captured by the main camera and the sub-camera, tracks the extracted subject, and brings the subject into focus when an image of the subject is actually captured. When the subject moves outside of a capturing region of the main camera, the processing unit tracks the subject extracted from the captured image captured by the sub-camera.

Image pickup device and method of tracking subject thereof

A user authentication system includes a main body device and an authentication device. The main body device has an authentication code transmission requesting unit, a verification unit, and an unlocking unit. The authentication code transmission requesting unit generates an authentication code transmission request including a first value, and transmits the authentication code transmission request to the authentication device. The authentication device generates an authentication code in response to the first value in the authentication code transmission request, and transmits the authentication code to the main body device. The verification unit determines that authentication is successful if the authentication code is received from the authentication device. When the verification unit determines that the authentication is successful, the unlocking unit enables a predetermined functionality.
