Title: The Innovative Contributions of Shoichi Nagatomo

Shoichi Nagatomo is a prominent inventor based in Fussa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, holding a total of 16 patents. His work primarily focuses on image processing and management, showcasing his expertise in developing advanced imaging solutions.

Latest Patents

Nagatomo's latest patents include an image storing apparatus, an image managing method, and a computer-readable recording medium that records a program thereon. This invention addresses the need for efficient image data management when receiving requests for a list display of multiple images from a communication apparatus. The imaging apparatus acquires image data from a recording medium and analyzes the shooting mode or relationships among the images using supplementary information such as Exif tag data. When it identifies images taken in continuous shooting mode or processed images, it transmits an icon image for thumbnail display to the communication apparatus via a wireless communication line. The communication apparatus then receives and displays the image data of these thumbnail icons.

Another notable patent involves an image processing apparatus and method for selectively creating either an animation file or a moving image file from a series of continuously shot images. In this case, when a user instructs the shooting of a moving image while in mail writing mode, the mobile communication terminal detects this instruction and controls the image pick-up unit to continuously capture images for a specified duration. The apparatus processes non-image-moving regions of the captured images to create a GIF animation file, which is then displayed in the mail being composed.
