Company patents
i-PRO Co., Ltd.
i-PRO Co., Ltd. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with significant declines across its historically dominant categories like Pictorial / Video Communications (-100.0% YoY in 2026 so far) and Computer Vision (-100.0% YoY in 2026 so far), which together represent over 65% of its portfolio. This is contrasted by an emerging focus on Photographic Apparatus, which saw a substantial 66.7% year-over-year growth in 2026 so far, indicating a potential pivot in its core imaging technology development.

Camera assemblies specifically designed for integration into vehicles, addressing challenges like mounting, field of view coverage, environmental robustness, and specialized imaging (e.g., near-infrared) for autonomous driving or safety.
Mechanical structures and devices designed to support, stabilize, or mount cameras and related photographic equipment, often featuring quick-release mechanisms, damping, or adjustable components.
Systems that combine data from multiple camera sensors or capture multiple images from different perspectives or qualities, often involving image processing techniques like synthesis to create enhanced or comprehensive views.
Methods and systems for improving the quality of video streams, generating intermediate frames, or continuously locating and following objects within a sequence of images, even under occlusion.
Systems utilizing various sensors (e.g., cameras, radar, sonar) to perceive the vehicle's surrounding environment, detect objects, and process/display relevant information to the driver for enhanced awareness, assistance in maneuvers, or safety.
Systems designed for rapid and secure attachment and detachment of devices or components to a main support structure, often employing snap-fit, clamping, or magnetic mechanisms for convenience and flexibility.
Support structures and stands specifically engineered for electronic devices such as displays, tablets, cameras, or handheld devices, often incorporating features for viewing angle adjustment, stability, or power/data integration.
Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.
Systems and methods that use imaging technologies, computer vision, and augmented reality to provide real-time guidance, localization, and visualization during surgical procedures or for detailed anatomical assessment.
Methods and apparatus for detecting objects and determining their three-dimensional position and orientation (pose) using imagery or point cloud data, often for navigation, surveying, or environmental understanding.
Methods and systems that identify unusual or suspicious patterns in data streams, often leveraging machine learning models trained on normal behavior, to detect threats, faults, or significant events as they occur.
Systems and methods for processing, prioritizing, and presenting multiple alarms, including features like temporary pausing, customized display, and intelligent decision-making for alert delivery based on context or user profiles.
Techniques for combining data from disparate sensor types (e.g., cameras, radar, mobile device signals) to achieve a more robust and comprehensive understanding of an environment or subject, often leveraging machine learning for interpretation and correlation.
Techniques used by sensing systems to identify the presence, location, and characteristics of objects or unusual conditions in an environment, including methods to suppress false positives or 'ghost' detections.
Mechanisms and control systems for precise movement of optical lens elements, often for autofocus, zoom, or image stabilization, utilizing various driving principles (e.g., piezoelectric) and low-friction components.
Systems that manage and enforce entry or usage privileges using digital credentials, biometric identification, or remote control, often incorporating network connectivity and real-time status updates.
