Summary of the patent applications from CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA on October 19th, 2023

CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA has recently filed several patents related to semiconductor devices, switching power supply apparatus, communication devices, access points, electronic devices, image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, communication devices, and document processing systems. These patents demonstrate the organization's focus on developing innovative technologies in various fields.

Summary of Recent Patents:

- A semiconductor device with a main surface divided into a pixel region and a peripheral region. It includes a transparent insulating layer that covers the alignment mark but not the terminals or spaces between them. - A switching power supply apparatus that uses a heat sink connected to a printed substrate through soldering to dissipate heat generated by a semiconductor element. An inductor is connected between the heat sink and a part of the conductive pattern to absorb electrical noise. - A communication device that acts as a link between a user's device and a base station. It includes a determination unit that decides whether to switch the user's connection from one base station to another and a requesting unit that sends a handover request message to the user's device. - An 802.11ax access point that manages transmission opportunities for uplink and downlink transmissions between the access point and non-AP stations. It uses a modified buffer status report (BSR) to provide information about buffered uplink traffic and direct link traffic. - A communication apparatus that connects with an information processing apparatus and uses Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication. It includes transmission and reception units for setting information and attempts authentication with a predetermined server. It also sends information in case of authentication failure. - An electronic device capable of detecting the eyepoint of a user in an image captured by a camera and tracking multiple subjects. It determines the user's attention level towards each subject and selects a main subject based on this level. - An image processing apparatus that improves visibility in images by capturing image data in a frame format and data based on changes in brightness for each pixel. It performs processing on the first image data using the second image data to generate a third set of image data. - An image forming apparatus that can switch between login methods: selecting an icon on a display or using a card. It searches for user information based on the selected login method and performs the login process accordingly. - A communication device that connects to an access point and uses different setting information based on the authentication method used. It stores first setting information for higher authorized users and second setting information for lower authorized users. - A document processing system that communicates with a server and manages the processing status of scanned documents. It can transmit documents along with processing requests, monitor processing time, and notify users if the time exceeds a predetermined limit.

Notable Applications:

• A semiconductor device with a transparent insulating layer covering the alignment mark but not the terminals or spaces between them.
• An 802.11ax access point using a modified buffer status report (BSR) to provide information about buffered uplink and direct link traffic.
• An electronic device capable of detecting the eyepoint of a user in an image and selecting a main subject based on the user's attention level towards each subject.
• An image forming apparatus that can switch between login methods: selecting an icon on a display or using a card.
• A communication device that uses different setting information based on the authentication method used.
