Patent number: 9782605Abstract: A system for influencing a state of a user including a light source for emitting light influencing the state of the user and a light controller selectively controlling the emission of the light. The emission may include at least one of, the spectrum of said light; the duration of said light; the distribution of said light; the intensity of said light; and the timing of said light. The analysis engine provides a signal to the light controller indicating a desired emission of the light.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Gary A.

Patent number: 8482677Abstract: A display device includes power management by including a first input suitable to receive electrical power from an outlet for providing power for the operation of the display device. The display device includes a second input, separate from the first input, suitable to receive electrical power from an external battery source for providing power for the operation of the display device. The display device includes an internal battery source enclosed within the display device suitable for providing power for the operation of the display device. A source select is enclosed within the display device that selects power from at least one of the first input, the second input, and the internal battery for providing power for the operation of the display device. A processor receives video content from a video source and selectively modifies a backlight of the display device based upon the power source selected by the source select in such a manner as to reduce the power consumption of the display device.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Sachin G. Deshpande, Louis Joseph Kerofsky, M. Ibrahim Sezan

Publication number: 20110304689Abstract: A method for modifying images for display on a three dimensional display includes receiving a first image and a corresponding second image which together represent a three dimensional image when displayed on the display. Glasses suitable to be worn by a viewer of the display provide depth perception of the three dimensional image. The glasses selectively send a signal to the display indicating whether the viewer selectively observes either two dimensional or three dimensional content by the display. The glasses also selectively send a signal to the display indicating the depth strength and image brightness of the perceived images.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2010Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: SHARP LABORATORIES OF AMERICA, INC.Inventors: M. Ibrahim Sezan, Chang Yuan, Scott J. Daly

Patent number: 7536706Abstract: A system includes additional information together with a video stream, where the additional information is related to at least one of the frames. Preferably the additional information is related to an object within the frame. A receiver receives the video and additional information and decodes the video in the same manner independently of whether the additional information is provided. The additional information is selectively presented to a viewer at approximately the time of receiving the frames. The system may also present information to a viewer from a unitary file containing an image and additional information associated with the image. A selection mechanism permits the selection of objects in the image for which the additional information is related thereto. A presentation mechanism provides the additional information to a viewer in response to selecting the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1999Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: M.
