Some embodiments relate to an imaging system including an active pixel a comparator, a write control circuit, and an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) memory. The active pixel may include a photodiode and a plurality of transistors. The comparator may be operative coupled to the active pixel and configured to receive an output of the active pixel. The write control circuit may be operative coupled to the comparator and configured to receive an output from the comparator. The ADC memory may be operatively coupled to the write control circuit. A data structure may be stored in the ADC memory, and may be configured to store at least a first data string, which may include a set of flag bits for identifying each ADC operation performed and a set of ADC data bits.

System, method, device and data structure for digital pixel sensors

Some embodiments relate to an imaging system including an active pixel and an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit including comparator. The comparator may be operatively coupled to the active pixel and configured to receive an output of the active pixel. The back-end ADC and memory circuit may be operatively coupled to the active pixel. The back-end ADC and memory circuit may include a write control circuit, an ADC memory operatively coupled to a read/write data bus and to the write control circuit, and a state latch operatively coupled to the write control circuit.

A ring bufferrecords a game video provided by a running game softwaretogether with time information. When an unlock condition of a trophy that is a virtual award is satisfied, a trophy processing sectiongives a trophy to a user playing a game. A video acquiring sectionreads, from the ring buffer, the video including the game image that is at a time when the unlock condition becomes satisfied, and records the video in a second recording section. A video processing sectioncarries out an editing process on the video recorded in the second recording section

Information processing device and video editing method

A photoelectric conversion reading part of a pixel includes a photoelectric conversion element for storing therein, in a storing period, charges generated by the photoelectric conversion, a transfer element for transferring, in a transfer period following the storing period, the charges stored in the photoelectric conversion element, an output node to which the charges stored in the photoelectric conversion element are transferred through the transfer element, a reset element for resetting, in a reset period, the output node to a predetermined potential, an output buffer part for converting the charges in the output node into a voltage signal at a level determined by the amount of the charges and outputting the voltage signal as the pixel signal, and an output voltage control part for controlling an output signal level of the pixel signal from the output buffer part to a controlled level determined by the operational state.
