  • Patent number: 11947732
    Abstract: An input control device includes a detection unit configured to detect a first character input by a key operation. The input control device also includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the detected first character is the same as a second character input immediately before the first character, and an input processing unit configured to accept an input of the first character when it is determined that the first character is not the same as the second character without accepting the input of the first character when it is determined that the first character is the same as the second character.

  • Publication number: 20230005413
    Abstract: A display control device includes: a photodetection sensor configured to detect light from pixels of display screens with both a first display device and a second display device with a pixel size different from that of the first display device in a display system in which a video signal is displayed on a plurality of display devices adjacent to each other as detection targets; and a display adjustor configured to determine a degree of enlargement or reduction of video signals displayed on the display devices on the basis of a difference between the pixel size of the first display device and the pixel size of the second display device based on a result of detection from the photodetection sensor.

  • Publication number: 20210020124
    Abstract: A position detection device has: a light sensor including a first light detection unit being located at a position facing a display screen on a first display device, and a second light detection unit being located at a position facing a display screen on a second display device that is provided adjacent to the first display device; and a position detection unit configured to detect a distance across a non-display region between the display screen of the first display device and the display screen of the second display device based on results of detection, by the first light detection unit, of a position adjustment image displayed on the display screen of the first display device, results of detection, by the second light detection unit, of a position adjustment image displayed on the display screen of the second display device, and display content of the position adjustment images.

  • Publication number: 20180261165
    Abstract: A liquid crystal monitor device used for a display system including a plurality of liquid crystal monitor devices including a parent device, the liquid crystal monitor device including a liquid crystal monitor, a backlight which outputs visible light to the liquid crystal monitor, an adjustment switch configured to receive an input of a first backlight-setting value of an own device, a reception unit configured to receive a backlight-setting value of the parent device from the parent device, a control unit configured to adjust a luminance of the backlight of the own device, and a storage configured to store a relationship between backlight-setting values of the own device and the parent device.

  • Patent number: 10002572
    Abstract: A parent device which is a liquid crystal monitor device serving as a reference for adjusting the backlight distributes, through communication, a backlight-setting value indicating luminance of a backlight to an child device which is a liquid crystal monitor device receiving adjustment of the backlight. A processing unit in the child device obtains a correction value from the backlight-setting value of the parent device received by a reception unit and a backlight-setting value input to an adjustment switch by the user. When the reception unit has received a new backlight-setting value of the parent device, the processing unit obtains the backlight-setting value of the child device from the new backlight-setting value and the correction value and instructs a backlight control circuit to light a backlight based on a lighting period corresponding to the obtained backlight-setting value.

  • Patent number: 9497405
    Abstract: A display device includes a processing unit that determines whether a plurality of videos can be displayed side by side without overlapping each other in a display unit without changing resolutions of the plurality of videos. When the processing unit determines that the plurality of videos can be displayed, it causes the display unit to display the plurality of videos side by side without overlapping each other without changing the resolutions of the plurality of videos. When the processing unit determines that the plurality of videos cannot be displayed, it changes a resolution of at least one of the plurality of videos based on a resolution of the display unit, the resolutions of the plurality of videos, and a priority order, and causes the display unit to display the plurality of videos including the video for which the resolution has been changed side by side without overlapping each other.

  • Publication number: 20150116341
    Abstract: A display device includes a first storage unit that stores first adjusted values; a second storage unit that stores second adjusted values; and a control unit that determines, while power of the display device is on, whether or not a predetermined specific condition has been set, where if the specific condition has been set, the control unit executes a process of writing the first adjusted values stored in the first storage unit to the second storage unit according to the specific condition so as to switch the adjusted values pertaining to individual units of the display device to the first adjusted values.
