Patent number: 10915617Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image analysis unit, a biometric information measurement unit, and a determination selection unit. The image analysis unit detects a plurality of part images of a subject from the image including the subject captured by the imaging unit. The biometric information measurement unit obtains biometric information from at least one of the plurality of part images of the subject detected by the image analysis unit. The determination selection unit determines the detectability of biometric information on each of the plurality of part images of the subject detected by the image analysis unit. The determination selection unit makes a selection regarding acquisition of the biometric information of the subject on the basis of the detectability of the biometric information determined by the determination selection unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshihiko Otsuka, Takahiro Tomida

Patent number: 10914595Abstract: A map information providing apparatus and method are provided. Second map information of a second map range is acquired from an external apparatus having first map information of a first map range. A portable map transmitting apparatus having third map information of a third map range is communicated with the map information providing apparatus. The third map range is wider than the second map range. The second map range is narrower than the first map range. It is determined whether it is possible to provide predetermined map information corresponding to predetermined position information based on the second map information to the map information providing apparatus. If so, communication with the portable map transmitting apparatus is controlled to receive the third map information. The second map information is updated based on the third map information and the predetermined map information is acquired from the updated second map information.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Takeshi Okada

Patent number: 10915301Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a programming support device. The programming support device includes a display that displays a script input according to an operation and a processor that performs a process according to the script. When a line in which a first control script is displayed as the script is inserted in a screen displayed on the display, the processor performs a fetch process for at least one script, without a user's operation, between a line into which the first control script is inserted and a nearest blank line that is positioned on a line below the line into which the first control script is inserted, is a blank line in the same layer as the first control script, and is nearest to the line into which the first control script is inserted.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Shoichi Iwasaki, Akiko Muraki, Toshiaki Tanaka, Saki Tashiro

Patent number: 10915070Abstract: The present invention is to reduce an increase in a processing load when a background image is displayed in addition to pointer images indicating pointer movements. A control section displays a plurality of pointer images indicating pointer movements in a timepiece display area of a display section based on time information acquired from a clock circuit. Here, the control section identifies an area where the plurality of pointer images are displayed, such as a pointer movement area or a pointer presence area in the pointer movement area, and controls to perform high-load and low-load display operations with different processing loads on the identified area and an area other than the identified area, such as an outer area outside the pointer movement area or a pointer absence area in the pointer movement area, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuaki Murai

Patent number: 10906245Abstract: A shaped object includes a first shaped portion expressing a three-dimensional shape of an object in a first state by at least one bump on the surface of a first thermally expansive section that expands due to being heated, and second shaped portion expressing a three-dimensional shape of the object in a second state by at least one bump on the surface of a second thermally expansive section that expands due to being heated. The second state is a state in which the object is more deteriorated than in the first state. The height of the at least one bump on the surface of the second thermally expansive section at least partially differs from a height of the at least one bump on the surface of the first thermally expansive section.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Satoshi Kurosawa
