The present invention makes it possible to let a user arbitrarily and easily see any other scene than himself or herself in his or her view (the scene seen from any other moving body than him or her). In a display device (an image pickup and display deviceor a display device), specification information is generated to specify a specific image pickup device of outer image pickup devices (the image pickup and display deviceor and image pickup device), and image data are received from the image pickup device specified by the specification information and are displayed. As an outer image pickup device, for example, and image pickup device wore by some other person, image pickup devices set at a car, an electric train, and the like, or further mage pickup devices set at an animal, a bird, and the like are supposed. Image data picked up by these image pickup devices are transmitted to the display side and the image display is carried out in the display device. Thus, a user of the display device can see images of viewing scenes watched by other people, for example, images of viewing scenes seen from a car, an electric train, and the like, or images of viewing scenes seen from an animal, a bird, and the like.

Display apparatus for displaying image data received from an image pickup apparatus attached to a moving body specified by specification information

Image display system, image display apparatus, and image display method

Image display system, display device and display method

According to some aspects, an image display apparatus is provided comprising a display apparatus comprising a display section and a controller. The controller may be configured to display a map image via the display section, set location specification information based on an input specifying a position on the map image, and transmit the location specification information to a server apparatus, receive image data transmitted from the server apparatus in response to the transmission of location specification information to the server apparatus, the received image data having been obtained by photographing by an imaging section of an imaging apparatus configured to be worn on a head of a user, and the received image data having been transmitted to the server apparatus from the imaging apparatus in addition to additional data comprising location information detected at a time when the image data was photographed.

Image display system, display apparatus, and display method

If a user specifies a location on a map image, he or she can see an image shot at that location. An imaging apparatus (an imaging/display apparatusor an imaging apparatus) placed on a movable body transmits shot image data to a server apparatus together with additional data that includes location information about a photographing point, so that they are stored in the server apparatus. That is, the server apparatus accumulates pieces of image data obtained by photographing in various places by a great number of imaging apparatuses together with the location information thereof. A user of the display apparatus (the imaging/display apparatusor the display apparatus) specifies a location on the map image. Then, the display apparatus transmits location specification information to the server apparatus, and the server apparatus searches for the image data based on the location specification information, and transmits the image data corresponding to the location specification information to the display apparatus. The display apparatus receives and displays the image data.

The feature of the present invention consists in: a processor main circuit for executing program instruction strings on a processor chip; a substrate bias switching unit for switching voltages of substrate biases applied to a substrate of the processor main circuit; and an operation mode control unit for controlling, in response to the execution of an instruction to proceed to a stand-by mode in the processor main circuit, the substrate bias switching unit in such a way that the biases are switched over to voltages for the stand-by mode, and for controlling, in response to an interruption of the stand-by release from the outside, the substrate bias switching unit in such a way that the biases are switched over to voltages for a normal mode, and also for releasing, after the bias voltages switched thereto have been stabilized, the stand-by of the processor main circuit to restart the operation.

Substrate bias switching unit for a low power processor

Disclosed herein is an image display system including a display apparatus, an imaging apparatus placed on a movable body; and a server apparatus. The display apparatus and the imaging apparatus are capable of communicating with the server apparatus. The imaging apparatus includes: an imaging section; a speed detection section; and a control section that controls transmission of image data and speed information to the server apparatus. The server apparatus includes: a movable body speed management section that manages the moving speed of the movable body using the speed information; and a control section that identifies an imaging apparatus that matches speed specification information, and causes image data to be transferred from the identified imaging apparatus to the display apparatus. The display apparatus includes: a display section; and a control section that performs a speed specification process, an image request transmission process, and a display process.

A video tape recorder for recording high definition television video signals onto a magnetic tape, and recording at least reproduction standard management information in the order of pictures of video data in a main sector, and in the order of pictures of compressed video data in a subcode sector. Search data is recorded on the basis of time management information of video data at the time of decoding, while display data is recorded on the basis of time management information on reproduction and output of video data.

Video tape recorder and recording method

The present invention is particularly applied to a video tape recorder for recording a video signal of an HDTV (high-definition television) on a magnetic tape. In the video tape recorder, the recording position of the head of each pack unit is set so as to have a predetermined relationship with the recording position determined by the corresponding time management information.

Processor for controlling substrate biases in accordance to the operation modes of the processor

A branch prediction apparatus to minimize branch penalties in pipeline or concurrent processing of a sequence of instructions correctly predicts a pattern in which &ldquo;branch taken&rdquo; and &ldquo;branch not taken&rdquo; alternately appear. The apparatus includes a branch prediction table to keep one history bit and a 2-bit counter for each branch instruction, a prediction generator to output a value of the history bit when the counter has a value of 0 or 2 and to output a value obtained by reversing the history bit when the counter has a value of 1 or 3, and a counter controller which compares a result of branch with a value of the history bit. The counter controller sets 0 to the counter value when the result matches the value and adds one to the counter value when the result does not match the value and the counter value is other than 3.

Branch prediction apparatus

A data processor includes an arithmetic portion incorporated in a floating point unit, in which the arithmetic portion includes a plurality of multipliers supplied mantissa part of floating point number from respectively different data input signal line group and performing mutual multiplication of supplied mantissa parts, an aligner receiving outputs of respective multipliers and performing alignment shift, an exponent processing portion for generating number of alignment shift of the aligner and an exponent before normalization on the basis of generation an exponent part of the floating point number, a multi-input adder and the exponent before normalization, reducing scale of the circuit and performing inner product operation and the like with the floating point numbers in high speed and high accuracy.
