    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable simultaneous execution of an automatic focusing mode and a focusing position control mode by generating the distance signal to be a center of the distance to be searched and the signal for the distance range to be searched and matching the focus in accordance with the distance information obtd. from a subject within the range limited by the two signals. CONSTITUTION:The distance signal S1 of the center to be focused and searched from a device 1 for generating an approximate distance signal and the distance signal S2 to be focused and searched from a device 2 for generating a range signal are respectively added and subtracted in an adder circuit 3 and a subtractor circuit 4 from which an upper limit signal S3 and a lower limit signal S4 are fed to a window comparator circuit 5. The distance signal S5 obtd. in accordance with the subject is compared and the signal 6 is outputted to a gate circuit 6. A focusing correlation signal S7 is fed as a signal S8 via a gate circuit 6 to a peak holding circuit. The signal S5 is subjected to sample holding in a sample holding circuit 8 by the signal S9 subjected to the peak holding and a focusing signal 10 is oututted. The simultaneous execution of the automatic focusing mode and the focus control mode is thus made possible.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To simplify the universal head system and to attain cost-down by allowing the device to generate a signal in response to the amount of movement of an object, extracting a preset data in a storage means by using this signal as an address signal and controlling the universal head system. CONSTITUTION:In going forward the object 9 on a running path 8 by, e.g., 1m, the operator operates a pulse generating means 1 to generate a signal corresponding to the amount of movement of the object 9, e.g., 1 pulse signal. This pulse signal is counted by counters 3a, 3b, this counted signal becomes an address signal to ROMs 4a, 4b and is inputted to the ROMs 4a, 4b. The data of pan, tilt of universal heads 6a, 6b stored in advance at a position of the object 9 forwarded by 1m and the data of zoom, focus of image pickup devices 7a, 7b are read from the ROMs 4a, 4b and the said data are outputted respectively to driving devices 5a, 5b. Thus, the universal systems A, B are driven by the driving devices 5a, 5b according to the said data and directed to the position of the object 9 forwarded by 1m.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effeciently distribute an application software by previously distributing a prescribed software to the distribution destination of the software. SOLUTION: The state transition of a detailed processing in a server is indicated. A processing opperation is executed based on state transition. A client requests connection to the server in a first state, that is in the state (S90). On the other hand, the server permits connection so that physical connection is completed. In a device register state (S91), the server executes a device register request and a device ID to the client so as to check whether or not the device ID inputted two times coincides. In the device connecting state (S92), it is judged whether or not the server is the client lending possible. In the state (S93) of application software lending, the server decides whether or not the application software is newly lent.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the image pickup device in which the cost increase attended with sophisticated functions of the image pickup device and complicated user interfaces are suppressed. SOLUTION: A program sent from an external device 10-b is buffered in a buffer in a memory 14 via an external device interface 19. A CPU 13 executes a down-loaded program. The communication with an external device 10-b is managed by a communication protocol decoding module 15.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To make possible speedy pattern editing and obtain an execution environment for it by executing a program and a file from patterns showing the flows of the program and file. CONSTITUTION: When a user pastes a pattern object in a rectangular shape painted out with a pattern of '0.2mm' line width, being 'red' line kind, being 'solid line', line color, being 'black', and 'slanting line -1' to a drawing sheet by using a mouse, etc., pastes a character attribute 'dir' to the rectangular object by using a keyboard, and then points the rectangular object by using the mouse, etc., and makes an indication, for example, by pressing a button of the mouse with the control key of the keyboard pressed, a CPU actuates a command interpreter stored on a storage device to read out the character attribute 'dir' of the rectangular object and pass the characters 'dir' to the actuated command interpreter, thereby executing the computer command 'dir'.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To immediately select a desired command in a displayed menu by less operation. CONSTITUTION:When a desired instruction is selected on a keyboard 1 while plural executable instructions are displayed on a display unit 2 in menu form, the use states of the respective instructions are stored in a use state memory 3 in order. At specific timing, a priority state addition part 5 analyzes the use states of the respective instructions stored in the use state memory 3 to add the priority levels of the respective instructions and a processor 6 automatically changes the menu display positions of the respective instructions displayed on the display unit 2 according to the added priority levels.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To attain the transfer of data between processors by securing a constitution where each processor refers to the address information on the source data or the destination data shown by the operand of a data transfer instruction and decides the specific one of processors to which the referred data belongs. CONSTITUTION:The program stored in a memory 21 is sent to an instruction decoder 22 through a bus 28, and the interpreted result is sent to an instruction executing part 23 and executed there. Meanwhile each processor refers to the address information on the source data or the destination data shown by the operand of a data transfer instruction and decides the specific one of processors to which the source or destination data belongs. Thus the data can be transferred between processors.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the control efficiency of a whole multi-CPU by respectively storing a global variable to be most frequently accessed by the CPU, to which plural memories are connected. CONSTITUTION:Plural CPUs 12-14 shares the various types of control and plural memories 15-17 respectively store the global variable to be most frequently accessed by the connecting CPUs 12-14. Thus, the respective CPUs 12-14 can directly access the global variable, which is most frequently accessed by the CPU itself, from the memory of the CPU itself and the control efficiency of the whole multi-CPU is improved. When the global variable can not be directly accessed, the access is requested to the CPU, which can directly access the global variable, through a communication line 11. Thus, the CPU control is efficiently executed as a whole electronic controller.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To put an annotation and explanation figure into the arbitrary part of a drawing with a designer since those parts can be detached from the subject of conversion to character code information by inputting a curved line to surround the part of the annotation, the part of the explanation figure or a part, which is desired to be effective only at the time of debugging. CONSTITUTION:When the right button of a mouse is pushed, a flow chart on a RAM is converted to a BASIC program according to an order in a ROM and stored to an area r2. When the left button of a mouse MS is pushed, the upper left apex of a rectangular area is shown and coordinate values X1N and Y1N to be shown by the mouse MS are stored to an area r3 of the memory RAM. Continuously, when the left button of the mouse is pushed, it is recognized that the lower right apex of the rectangular area is shown. Then, coordinates values X2N and Y2N to be shown by the mouse MS are stored to the area r3 of the RAM and a rectangle shape, which has two points (X1N, Y1N) and (X2N, Y2N) as relative two apexes and horizontal or vertical four sides, is drawn on a display Dis.
