  • Patent number: 11113027
    Abstract: An operational support apparatus includes a speech recognizer and a command generator. The speech recognizer converts speech data into text information. In a case where the text information contains a keyword that indicates application software, the command generator identifies which of input terminals of a display apparatus is associated with the application software. The command generator generates, as a control command, a switching command to activate the input terminal thus identified and a start-up command to start the application software.

  • Patent number: 10714057
    Abstract: A display system displays, on each of a plurality of display devices arranged side by side, among image data of a plurality of pages, each of image data of the number of display devices, and reflects input information, which indicates information input by a user, on image data displayed on a master display device among the plurality of display devices. Moreover, the display system displays, on each of the plurality of display devices, among the image data of the plurality of pages, each of image data which is obtained by shifting the image data of the number of display devices in accordance with an operation on a page operation unit. Thereby, a viewer is able to view image data of several pages at once, and it is possible to reflect information input by a user even when image data of a target page is shifted backward or forward.

  • Patent number: 7302649
    Abstract: In an operation method for processing data file of the present invention, reduced-size images and file icons of small area associated with the reduced-size images are displayed in pairs at predetermined interval between a reduced-size image and a file icon in each pair, and at least the data file is processed with a function as selected or the display position of the reduced-size image is changed by performing drag-and-drop operations on the file icons instead of performing a drag-and-drop operation on the reduced-size image directly as in the conventional method. According to the foregoing arrangement of the present invention, the reduced-size image can be displayed without reducing the size even while a drag-and-drop operation is being performed, and it is therefore possible to identify each data file based on the reduced-size image.
