The present disclosure can be applied to motion capture.

Mounting tool

Provided is an information processing device and an information processing method that enable simple and appropriate calibration. When a pen-type device incorporating an inertial measurement unit such as an IMU is moved and a drawn image corresponding to a track is displayed, calibration is implemented on the basis of a measurement value of the inertial measurement device in one stationary attitude and a latitude and an absolute azimuth of the inertial measurement device at that time when the pen-type device is inserted into a pen stand to be fixed in a predetermined direction.

Information processing device and information processing method that enable simple calibration

Provided is an imaging apparatus that includes an irradiation unit that irradiates a subject with light, an imaging unit that images the subject a plurality of times, a control unit that controls the imaging unit and the irradiation unit, and a combination unit that combines a plurality of imaged images obtained by the imaging unit. The imaging unit has a plurality of imaging elements disposed in a matrix when viewed from the side of the subject. The irradiation unit has a plurality of light emitting elements provided so as to correspond to the plurality of imaging elements. The control unit controls the irradiation unit to turn on the plurality of light emitting elements different for each imaging among the plurality of light emitting elements, and controls the imaging unit to drive the plurality of imaging elements corresponding to the plurality of light emitting elements that are not turned on.

Imaging apparatus and imaging method

An electronic device includes a plurality of light emitting units mounted on a substrate, and an opening that is provided so as to correspond to each of the light emitting units and guides light emitted from the light emitting units to an outside.

Wristband type electronic device

An electronic device including: a transparent panel section in which a plurality of transparent light-emitting elements is disposed; and an imaging section that is disposed under a partial region of the transparent panel section, and images, via the transparent panel section, an object which is in contact with or in proximity to the partial region of the transparent panel section.

Electronic device

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a determination unit and an output unit. The determination unit determines, on a basis of information related to a usage state of a wearable device, a holding state of the wearable device with respect to an attachment target. The output unit generates and outputs control information for achieving the determined holding state.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an acquisition unit configured to acquire activity information associated with a user situation; and a control unit configured to control a capture angle of an image based on the activity information associated with the user situation.

Information processing apparatus and control method

Disclosed herein is a display including a drive substrate and an opposite substrate adhered to each other, with a sealant therebetween, in the periphery of a display region provided in a central area of the drive substrate, wherein the gap between the drive substrate and the opposite substrate in an application region of the sealant is narrower than the gap in an adjacency region adjacent to and on the display region side of the application region.

Display and method of manufacturing display

A cellular phone has an upper casing and a lower casing. The upper casing has a pair of slide grooves defined in a substantially lower half region thereof along respective opposite side faces of said upper casing, and the lower casing has a pair of slide grooves defined in a substantially upper half region thereof along respective opposite side faces of said lower casing. Slide connection members are fastened to the lower casing by screws threaded into respective joint holes in the lower casing through the respective slide grooves of the upper casing, and a bifurcated joint slide connection member and a slide connection member are fastened to a joint bar of the upper casing by screws threaded into respective joint holes in the joint bar through the respective slide grooves of the lower casing. The upper and lower casings are made slidable by the slide connection members, and are stably connected to each other against wobbling movement.

Portable terminal device

Disclosed is a novel mobile phone wherein a one-push open/close mechanism slideably intercoupling upper and lower housings causes a tension of a spring member to function for sliding movements of the upper and lower housings along an open direction in an opening event, and inverts the tension of the spring member for the sliding movements of the upper and lower housings along a close direction in a closing event. An elevation mechanism operates in association with the sliding movement of the upper housing to perform ascending control of a key operation section in the opening event, and operates in association with the sliding movement of the upper housing to perform descending control of the key operation section in the closing event. Thereby, the mobile phone can be set by a one-push operation to an open state or closed state. In the opening event, the key operation section automatically ascends; and in the closing event, the key operation section automatically descends to be store in the lower housing.

Mobile terminal device including an elevating keyboard mechanism

An information reproduction system that provides an apparatus for reproducing audio/video information from an information recording medium having a tape form for example and circumventing problems associated with illegal copies of information recording media. If a match is found between the contents of identification data information read from a memory fixed to a cassette incorporating a magnetic tape and the contents of individual key data information stored in an information storage memory, a controller causes an information reproducing block to reproduce main information from the magnetic tape.

Information reproducing apparatus and information recording/reproducing apparatus

A buffer memory circuit has a memory circuit for receiving input data possessing a transmission rate selected out of a plurality of predetermined transmission rates, a write-in clock signal synchronized with these input data and a read-out clock signal having a predetermined rate. The memory circuit stores the input data according to the write-in clock signal, and supplies the input data, which have been stored, as output data according to the read-out clock signal. A detecting circuit detects an overflow or an underflow in the memory circuit, and supplies a resetting pulse signal for initializing the memory circuit. A control circuit receives the write-in clock signal and the resetting pulse, and suspends the supply of the read-out clock signal to the memory circuit means for a certain period of time, determined by the first transfer rate, from the time of receiving the resetting pulse signal.

Buffer memory circuit having constant propagation delay

A phase-adjusting circuit for adjusting the phase relation between an input data string supplied via input lines includes sync detecting apparatus provided for each of the lines for generating frame sync-detection signals by detecting frame sync signals of the input data strings. Apparatus is provided for detecting a first data string having a largest delay of the input data strings. A phase difference-detecting apparatus detects phase differences between the first and the remaining data strings to produce phase difference signals for such remaining data strings. A line connecting signal-generating apparatus is responsive to the phase difference signal for generating line connecting signals. A variable-delay apparatus is responsive to the phase difference signals for outputting delayed data strings by giving delays to the remaining data strings. A first switching apparatus responsive to the line connecting signals delivers the remaining data strings to the variable-delay apparatus and outputs the first data string in an undelayed state. A second switching apparatus responsive to the line connecting signals delivers the first data string and the delayed data strings to output lines corresponding to the input lines.
