  • Patent number: 11373619
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires an image, a memory that stores multiple images acquired by the acquisition unit, a recognition unit that recognizes a size of a character included in an image to be displayed on a display from among the images stored on the memory, and a display controller that causes the display to display the images stored on the memory while switching from one image to another every set time period. The display controller determines a display setting of the image to be displayed on the display in response to the size of the character included in the image that the recognition unit has recognized and causes the display to display the image in the determined display setting.

  • Patent number: 6240460
    Abstract: A data transmission control information acquisition section generates data transmission control information based on control information exchanged between applications of a data transmitter and a data receiver before data transmission is started. A data transfer control section determines a bandwidth to be used by the data transmission, transmission start time, etc. in a shared transmission medium in a unified manner based on the data transmission control information and current bandwidth use conditions, and transmits the thus-determined information to the data transmitter. The data transmitter transmits data to the data receiver via the transmission medium under unified management.
