A method for controlling a portable device is provided. The method includes detecting bending of the portable device and determining whether to perform motion sensing correction due to the bending; acquiring a motion sensing correction factor for performing the motion sensing correction due to the bending; performing motion sensing correction of at least one motion sensor using the motion sensing correction factor; and controlling the portable device according to the corrected motion sensing.

An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit to pick up an image of a subject which a user desires. The image pickup apparatus detects a face image area which includes a face of the subject person in the picked-up image based on the image information of the picked-up image, recognizes an expression of the face in the detected face image area, ranks the face image areas in order of good smile from among the recognized expressions, and displays the face image areas arranged in the order of ranking and the entire picked-up image on a same screen.

In order to be able to handle blocks having a larger size while suppressing the line memory redundancy in an image processing device, the shape (square or non-square) of a block in a prediction unit is determined by using shape determining information for determining the shape of the block in accordance with the size of the block. Disclosed is an image processing device provided with: a shape determining unit which determines, by using shape determining information for determining the shape of the block in accordance with the size of the block, the shape of a block to be set within an image; a motion vector setting unit which disposes a prediction unit for each block within the image in accordance with the shape determined by means of the shape determining unit and which sets the motion vector to be used in predicting the image within the prediction unit for each disposed prediction unit; and an encoding unit which encodes the image by using the motion vector set by means of the motion vector setting unit.

A comment-provided video generating apparatus includes: a display priority calculating unit which calculates a display priority for each of the comments and subject regions to which the comments are provided, based on comment information indicating comments to be superimposed and displayed on a video and display positions of the comments, and user information, by calculating a higher display priority for one of the comments and the subject regions specified by user information; a comment superimposing method determining unit which determines, as a method for superimposing the comments onto a video, an order of displaying the comments and the subject regions such that a comment or a subject region having a higher display priority is displayed at a position frontward than the others, according to the display priority; and an image composing unit which superimposes the comments on the video, according to the comment superimposing method.

Comment-provided video generating apparatus and comment-provided video generating method

Provided is an image processing device. A feature point detection unit detects a feature point from moving image data. An association processing unit associates the feature point with additional information, the feature point being selected based on feature point selection information for selecting one or at least two feature points that display the additional information displayed to be accompanied with the feature point. A motion analysis unit analyzes a changing behavior of the feature point through reproduction of moving image data. A data generating unit generates data indicating change content to change display of the additional information associated with the feature point based on motion information indicating the behavior of the feature point analyzed by the motion analysis unit and a display scenario indicating a change pattern to change the additional information added to the feature point according to the behavior of the feature point.
