Abstract: Provided is an information processing device that enables a virtual object to be displayed at an appropriate position in the real world. The information processing device includes a position estimation unit that estimates a current position in a first coordinate system, a display position setting unit that sets a display position of a virtual object in a third coordinate system on the basis of an environment database, virtual object information including the display position of the virtual object in a second coordinate system, and an observed image captured near the current position, a meta information generation unit that generates observation meta information, and an environment database management unit that compares observation data with environment data of the environment database to determine whether to add the observation data to the environment database.

Abstract: When a “screen saver” operates to display a homogeneous black picture image after the same image is continuously displayed on a CRT for a predetermined period of time, a power supply for a CRT display unit is controlled to be turned off, thereby preventing the CRT display unit from being left for a long time in a power-on state. Namely, a waiting time of 3 minutes, for example, is provided when the “screen saver” operates so that the CRT displays a homogeneous black picture image to turn off a power circuit for the CRT, and then a heater for the CRT is turned off after a lapse of a predetermined period of time of 5 to 60 minutes, for example. An extension graphics board, which is inserted in an open slot provided in a computer of an open architecture type may be provided to perform this function.

Abstract: Directed to an adjustment system for adjusting image quality of a video monitor by using a microprocessor, the present invention simplifies complicated operation in image quality adjustment and thereby eliminates the need for high-level operating skills. The adjustment system comprises an on-screen display controller circuit which can display a plurality of adjustment items in the form of icons together with a visual message, explaining the content of each icon, on a screen of the video monitor and an input device used for selecting a desired icon and setting a corresponding parameter, the input device being constructed of four-way input switches which are integrally combined into a single button to perform adjustment functions. This construction enables an operator to perform adjustment operations in an integrated manner which have thus far been made individually, providing savings in the period of time required for adjustment work and simplification thereof.
