A method for reducing image noise in computer vision includes identifying a pattern of periods during which visible light is not emitted by the pixels; identifying a first black period during which a first group of lines of the pixels does not emit visible light; capturing, with an image sensor installed behind the display, a first image that longitudinally spans only the first group of lines of the pixels; and synchronizing the capturing of the first image with the first black period.

Method and device for reducing image noise

Notebook computer with light emitting parts

The information processing apparatus includes a display having a screen area with an array of a plurality of pixels and a camera near the rear face of the display to capture an image based on light incident through the display. The information processing apparatus stops emission of light from pixels in a first area corresponding to a position in the screen area of the display where the camera is placed and control the pixels to be non-displayed, and when the operation position within the screen area of the display is within the first area, displays an image based on the display data corresponding to the first area in any part of the screen area of the display.

Information processing apparatus and control method

A processor-based device with a display unit, such as a smart phone, identifies pixels associated with a camera under the display screen. The device also identifies a condition in which the pixels associated with the camera under the display screen can be dimmed or turned off. The device then dims or turns off the pixels associated with the camera under display based on the condition.

Life extension for pixels associated with a camera under display

An electronic apparatus includes a first chassis that includes a touch sensor, a second chassis connected to the first chassis to be rotationally movable relative to each other, a touch controller that is installed on the second chassis, is electrically connected with the touch sensor, receives a detection signal that is output from the touch sensor and outputs data that is based on the received detection signal, a detection unit that detects relative rotational movement of the first chassis and the second chassis and a control unit that disables a result of detection by the touch sensor at least in a time period that the first chassis and the second chassis are being rotationally moved relative to each other on the basis of a result of detection by the detection unit.

Electronic apparatus and controlling method

An electronic apparatus having a display is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a first main body having a first touch sensor; a second main body having a second touch sensor; a detecting unit that detects whether the second main body is in an open state or in a closed state; and a control unit that controls the first and second touch sensors. When the detecting unit has detected that the second main body is in the open state, the control unit enables the first touch sensor and disables the second touch sensor. When the detecting unit has detected that the second main body is in the closed state, the control unit enables the second touch sensor and disables the first touch sensor.

Portable information apparatus having a display

An apparatus is provided to improve audio processing. The apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a process based on an operating system (OS), and an audio signal processing part to support inputs of a first audio signal which is associated with the OS and a second audio signal which is inputted via a second input unit that is different from the first input unit. The audio signal processing part has a first processing mode and a second processing mode in which the audio signal processing part outputs an audio signal based only on the second audio signal. The apparatus also includes a setting part configured to set the audio signal processing part to the first processing mode when the process based on the OS is executed by the processor and to the second processing mode when the process based on the OS is at least partially limited.

Audio processing in multi-OS devices having multiple audio inputs

An electronic apparatus having a display that appears to be floating in air is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a display; a first transparent plate that covers a display surface of the display; a second transparent plate that covers a non-display surface of the display; and a film member provided between the second transparent plate and the display. The first transparent plate, the second transparent plate, and the film member have a first region that overlaps with the display and a second region that does not overlap with the display when viewed from the side of the display surface. The film member includes a touch sensor unit provided in the second region and a wire aggregation provided in the first region.

Provided are a touch pen and a touch pen system with a compact and low-cost configuration when an erase function is installed therein. The touch pen system includes a capacitive touch panel; a touch pen having a pen tip for specifying an arbitrary position on the touch panel and a pen rear end portion formed with a predetermined conductive pattern; predetermined pattern detection mechanism that detects contact of the predetermined conductive pattern with the touch panel; and an erase implementation mechanism that implements an erase function when the predetermined conductive pattern is detected.
