Abstract:
A slide cover has a engaged portion formed thereon. A rotatable member includes a stopper portion which is abutted against the engaged portion so as to restrict a relative movement of the engaged portion of the slide cover when the slide cover is arranged at a closed position. The stopper portion is positioned away from a rotation center of the rotatable member, and the rotatable member rotates to allow the relative movement of the engaged portion when the stopper portion is pushed by the engaged portion. This makes it possible to increase an angle between an stopper surface formed on the stopper portion and a movement direction (right-left direction) of the engaged portion. As a result, the cover is stably held at the closed position.
Abstract:
A hard disk drive stores hierarchical image data, a speed map holding, for each tile image, an index of the processing time required to render a tile image having a predetermined image size obtained by partitioning the image, and scenario data which defines viewpoint shifting. In a control unit of an information processing apparatus having a function of displaying an image, an input information acquisition unit acquires information with respect to the user's input operation via an input device. A loading unit loads necessary data for image displaying from the hard disk drive. A shifting condition adjustment unit adjusts the viewpoint shifting speed based upon the speed map. A frame coordinate determination unit sequentially determines frame coordinates of a display area. A decoding unit decodes compressed image data. A display image processing unit renders a display image.
Abstract:
Based upon a detection voltage VL that develops between ISEN+ and ISEN− terminals, a current detection circuit detects a coil current IL that flows through an inductor. A measurement circuit is connected to an inductor, and measures an inductance value L and a DC resistance value RDC of the inductor in a calibration operation before normal operation of a DC/DC converter. Based upon the inductance value L and the DC resistance value RDC thus measured, the current detection circuit detects the coil current IL using the detection voltage VL.
Abstract:
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a control unit controlling playback of an image of an edit target, and a generation unit generating edit information including information indicating multiple edit effects applied in combination with the image of an edit interval and information indicating the edit interval, where, in a playback interval of the image, the edit interval is an interval from a playback position at a time an instruction is given during the playback of the image to a position a predetermined time after the playback position.
Abstract:
An input information acquisition unit of an information processing device acknowledges a user input. An imaging condition control unit initiates imaging using the imaging condition determined according to the user input or a result of analyzing a captured image. An imaging condition storage unit stores an imaging condition table that maps target functions to imaging conditions. First and second image analysis units and acquire images captured by first and second cameras and installed in the imaging device and perform necessary image analysis. An information integration unit integrates images captured by the pair of cameras and results of analysis. An image data generation unit generates data for an image output as a result of the process.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adding trophy support games that do not have trophies without modifying the original game. The method and apparatus are used to detect particular disk access, use the detected disk access as potential trophy triggers in games, and recognize the triggers while a game is played. Trophies are awarded based on the triggers, and the awarded trophies are stored.

Abstract:
To provide a technique with which 3D images can be drawn more realistic. The present invention provides an image processing system including a DDA section that generates drawing information for each pixel according to a display list which includes information about the position and color of each vertex of a polygon in a virtual 3D space, a point-of-view distance calculation section for calculating the distance from a predetermined point in the virtual 3D space, an adjusting section for adjusting the drawing information by updating the information which indicates the color of each pixel, based on the distance calculated by the point-of-view distance calculation section, and a frame memory interface section that produces the adjusted drawing information to a predetermined frame memory. Thus, visual effects are produced for the polygon based on the distance.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for perspective transforming a plurality of objects in a three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional space, each object having a plurality of vertexes, the methods and apparatus determining whether the plurality of vertexes for each of the objects are localized within the three-dimensional space; performing a first perspective transformation process on the respective plurality of vertexes of the objects when the plurality of vertexes for each of the objects are not localized within the three-dimensional space; and performing a second perspective transformation process on the respective plurality of vertexes of the objects when the plurality of vertexes for each of the objects are localized within the three-dimensional space, wherein the second perspective transformation process requires less calculating power than the first perspective transformation process.
