  • Patent number: 10185407
    Abstract: A display control apparatus displays a cursor based on an operation performed by an operator on a screen of a display device. The display controlling unit corrects the in-screen position of the instruction image based on a relationship between a first position indicated by the hand having a first shape and a second position indicated by the hand having a second shape in a case where a second operation is detected after a first operation is detected and displays the instruction image at the in-screen position corresponding to the second position.

  • Patent number: 9576539
    Abstract: A light source apparatus includes a light source, a detection unit configured to detect light emitted by the light source, a determination unit configured to determine a target brightness, and a control unit configured to periodically perform control of light emission from the light source, wherein the control unit divides one period of the control into a first period during which the light source is caused to emit light that is to be detected by the detection unit and a second period during which the light source is caused to emit light at the target brightness, and during the first period, drives the light source using a driving signal with a value smaller than a value during the second period, and the detection unit detects light emitted by the light source during the first period.

  • Patent number: 8446533
    Abstract: In an AV system in which a television apparatus and a recorder are individually connected to an AV amplifier through an HDMI, in the case where sound is output from the AV amplifier, if insertion of headphones into the television apparatus is detected, control information to switch the destination of the audio data is transmitted from the television apparatus to the AV amplifier. The AV amplifier switches the destination of the audio data that is input from the recorder from a speaker output section to the television apparatus in accordance with the control information. Thus, even if the headphones are inserted into the television apparatus while the AV amplifier is outputting sound reproduced by the recorder, the sound can be output from the headphones.
