CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA patent applications published on November 2nd, 2023

Summary of the patent applications from CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA on November 2nd, 2023

CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA has recently filed several patents related to various technologies. These patents cover areas such as light emitting devices, communication apparatus, resource allocation in wireless networks, synchronous communication apparatus, imaging devices, electronic apparatus, movement detection in electronic devices, image capturing apparatus, and media file generation.

In the field of light emitting devices, the organization has developed a structure that allows for efficient light emission. The device includes multiple electrodes, an organic layer, a second electrode, and an insulating layer. The design of the electrodes and insulating layer improves the performance and reliability of the device.

In the field of communication apparatus, CANON has developed a system that can establish wireless connections with an external access point and an information processing apparatus. If the first wireless connection attempt fails, the communication apparatus enters a predetermined mode and establishes a second wireless connection directly with the information processing apparatus.

In the field of wireless networks, the organization has developed a method to optimize the allocation of resource units for direct link transmission. This method involves the peer station sending a resource releasing frame to the access point after completing its transmission, allowing the access point to reclaim unused resource units and offer more transmission opportunities to other stations.

In the field of synchronous communication apparatus, CANON has developed a system that includes components for processing received packets and time stamps. The system determines if a reception packet can be stored based on the capacity of the storage unit and performs time synchronous processing using the stored packet and time stamp.

In the field of imaging devices, the organization has developed devices with features such as target brightness level setting, exposure control, and gradation correction. These devices have different photometry modes and apply different levels of gradation correction based on the mode used.

In the field of electronic apparatus, CANON has developed a system that can communicate with an accessory using different communication methods. The system has two power states and allows communication with the accessory using the first communication method in both power states, but restricts communication using the second method in the lower power state.

In the field of movement detection in electronic devices, the organization has developed a system that determines whether to calculate the movement distance or angle of the device based on its power supply and user's use state. The calculation result is used to control the power supply of the device.

In the field of image capturing apparatus, CANON has developed devices with image sensor units that can be moved in different directions. These devices also include cooling mechanisms to prevent overheating of the image sensor.

In the field of media file generation, the organization has developed a method that includes generating media data samples, region tracks associated with the samples, and region annotations in a container. The method also generates association metadata that links the region identifier with the region annotation.

Notable applications:

• Light emitting device with improved structure for efficient light emission.
• Communication apparatus with the ability to establish wireless connections with an external access point and an information processing apparatus.
• Optimization of resource allocation in wireless networks to minimize wasted bandwidth.
• Synchronous communication apparatus with components for processing received packets and time stamps.
• Imaging devices with target brightness level setting, exposure control, and gradation correction.
• Electronic apparatus with efficient power management and communication with accessories.
• Movement detection in electronic devices based on power supply and user's use state.
• Image capturing apparatus with movable image sensor units and cooling mechanisms.
• Media file generation method that includes region tracks, region annotations, and association metadata.
