It is also an object of the present invention to provide objective advertisement plan(s). The target specifying information storage partstores information for specifying target attribution including information for specifying information delivery medium of an object to contact with correspondently with searchers' id. The search term storage partcorrespondently stores a searcher's id, the timing of search, and the term used for the search. The extraction partextracts the timing of search for such search term for each searcher's id, segments the extracted search timing for each searcher's id into a predetermined number in chronological order and then extracts searcher's id belonging to each segment. The advertising medium data determination partextracts information on candidate of information delivery medium for the each segment from the extracted each searcher's id using information for specifying a target and determines candidate(s) of information delivery medium from the extracted candidate of information delivery medium.

An imaging sensing system includes a solid state image device composed of one chip and a controller for controlling the solid state image device. The solid state image device further includes an image sensor of a charge accumulation type for receiving light from an object and for outputting an electric signal to the controller. Further, an exemplary embodiment of an image device includes a decoder for decoding a control signal and for outputting a decode signal. A timing signal output indicates the timing of a charge accumulation of an image sensor controller for controlling the image sensor in accordance with the decode signal. In an exemplary embodiment, the controller includes an A/D convertor for converting the electric signal into a digital signal.

Image sensing system

An AF camera system for automatically controlling an objective lens for focusing an object includes a focus detector for generating a defocus data DF carrying information of a defocus amount and a defocus direction based on a focus condition of an object to be focused through an objective lens detected in a detection cycle, an infocus detector for detecting an infocus condition based on the defocus data, a lens driver for driving the objective lens based on the defocus amount and defocus direction carried in the defocus data DF when the infocus detection means did not detect the infocus condition; and a control for controlling the focus adjustment based on defocus data and/or the detection of the infocus condition detected by the infocus detection means.

In an image sensor provided on a chip, there are a plurality of photodiodes for receiving light. The photodiodes are disposed in at least two rows which are spaced apart from one another. An elongated photodiode which is at least partially covered by a light shield is used to monitor the photodiodes in the first and second rows. The outputs from image sensor are amplified by first and second amplifiers which are also located on the same chip as the image sensor.

Image sensor provided on a chip and having amplifying means

An image sensing device that outputs a signal logarithmically proportional to the intensity of the incident light. The image sensing device makes use of a sub-threshold current flowing between the drain and source of a MOS transistor when the gate voltage is below the threshold voltage (above which the MOS transistor is nominally conductive and below which nominally non-conductive). Since the logarithmic conversion is done in the photosensing section of a solid-state image sensing device, the output from the device is already compressed and is easily handled by a small capacity CCD. Some output systems for the image sensing device of the present invention are also described.

An autofocus camera system for automatically controlling an objective lens for focusing an object includes a focus detector for detecting a focus condition of the photographing lens with respect to the object, an infocus condition detector for detecting an infocus condition of the photographing lens, a plurality of focus adjusting modes including a first mode for prohibiting lens movement after detecting an infocus condition and a second mode for adjusting the photographing lens after detecting an infocus condition, and a selector for automatically selecting one of the focusing adjustment modes.

An image sensing system comprises photoelectric conversion element array which responds to the light from a subject and produces charges responding to the quantity of incident light, storage parts temporarily storing the charges produced by the array and a shift register which receives and outputs the charges in the storage parts. A first gate is installed between the array and the storage parts and a second gate is installed between the storage parts and the shift register. The storage time of the charges and the like can be controlled by controlling the first and the second gates by a control circuit. Then, when the subject is of high luminance, the charges are stored into the storage parts with the array and storage parts connected intact to each other by putting the first gating means in the ON state, and the completion of integration thereof is performed by putting the first gate in the OFF state. Also, when the subject is of low luminance, storage of charges is performed in the array with the first gate put in the OFF state, and a dark charges produced in the storage parts during that time is discharged before storing the charges of the above-mentioned arrays.
