    Abstract: When a place where a different panoramic image was captured is present in a direction in which a panoramic image to be displayed is captured, a marker setting unit associates a marker indicating that the different panoramic image is present in said image-captured direction with the panoramic image to be displayed. A mapping processing unit maps, as a texture, the panoramic image to be displayed, with which the marker of the different panoramic image is associated, in a three-dimensional panoramic space. A three-dimensional image generation unit generates a three-dimensional panoramic image when the three-dimensional panoramic space is viewed in a designated visual line direction, with a place where the panoramic image to be displayed is captured as a visual point position. A user interface unit accepts a user's instruction regarding the displayed three-dimensional panoramic image.

    Abstract: A driving unit successively selects one drive line from among a plurality of drive lines of a touch inputting device and applies a driving voltage to the selected drive line. A voltage detection unit successively selects one sensing line from among a plurality of sensing lines and detects an output voltage of the selected sensing line. An arithmetic operation unit determines a resistance value of a pressure-sensitive resistive element provided at the location at which the selected drive line and the selected sensing line cross with each other based on the driving voltage and the output voltage. The driving unit applies 0 volts or a bias voltage equal to or lower than the driving voltage to the other drive lines than the selected drive line.

    Abstract: A touch coordinate acquisition unit acquires the coordinate position of a touch point on a touch panel. An area determination unit determines whether or not the coordinate position of a touch point is present within an enlarging operation area provided in part of the touch panel. A drag determination unit determines if a touch point has been dragged. When the coordinate position of a touch point is present within the enlarging operation area and the touch point has been dragged, an operation mode switching unit switches the operation mode for touch inputs from a normal operation mode to an enlarging operation mode. When the operation mode is switched to the enlarging operation mode, a touch coordinate transformation unit transforms the coordinates of an actual touch point within the enlarging operation area into the coordinates of a virtual touch point for the whole area of the touch panel.

    Abstract: Frame memories store captured images supplied from a plurality of imaging units, respectively. A motion detection portion detects the motion of a captured image of at least one of the imaging units. A mode determination portion sets, in accordance with at least either the amount of the motion detected by the motion detection portion or a power consumption limit of the image generation device, one of two modes, one for operating the plurality of imaging units simultaneously and the other for operating the plurality of imaging units intermittently. A control signal generation portion supplies, to the plurality of frame memories, a control signal adapted to control reading of the captured images from the plurality of frame memories in accordance with the mode set by the mode determination portion.

    Abstract: An instruction point extraction unit extracts an instruction point of a user from an image in which a gesture of the user made while the user is looking at a display is captured. A distance calculation unit obtains a distance to the instruction point in the depth direction. A gesture recognition parameter adjustment unit adjusts a parameter related to detection sensitivity in the depth direction when operation input by the gesture of the user is recognized, based on at least one of resolution of distance measurement in the depth direction and three-dimensional display performance of a display. A gesture recognition processing unit recognizes the operation input by the gesture of the user based on the adjusted parameter in reference to the distance to the instruction point in the depth direction calculated by the distance calculation unit.

    Abstract: A conversion unit converts output data detected by an input device based on any one type of conversion table among a plurality of types of conversion tables. An output unit transmits the output data thus converted to a main processor via an interface. A switching unit receives, from the main processor via the interface, a mode switching signal for switching detection sensitivity. The conversion unit switches the conversion table for reference based on the mode switching signal. The conversion table is a bit conversion table for reducing the number of bits of the output data.
