  • Publication number: 20240127726
    Abstract: A display control device for performing control on a display of a display configured to display an image of content laid out in a virtual space as viewed from a predetermined position, the display being mounted on portions of eyes by a user. The device detects an orientation, with respect to the display, of a head portion of a person other than the user and determines whether a position of the content needs to be changed based on a detection-result and the position of the content in the virtual space. A position change destination of the content in the virtual space is set based on a distance between the position change destination of the content in the virtual space and a position at a current point in time of the content and to change the position of the content when the position of the content is to be changed.

  • Patent number: 11048533
    Abstract: Proficiency level determining unit determines a user's proficiency level in operating his/her user device. Suggestion determining unit determines a suggestion to be disclosed, based on a trigger that has occurred. Suggestion type determining unit determines a type of the suggestion determined to be displayed by suggestion determining unit. Display method determining unit determines a display method of the suggestion based on the suggestion type determined by suggestion type determining unit, among display methods that differ in a method by which the user may operate the user device after a suggestion is displayed. Suggestion display control unit causes a display means of the user device to display the suggestion determined by suggestion determining unit using the display method determined by display method determining unit.

  • Patent number: 10831515
    Abstract: A user's proficiency level of operation of a user apparatus is determined with higher accuracy. Acquisition unit acquires service contract information of a user using the apparatus. Determination unit determines the user's proficiency level of operation of the user apparatus based on service contract information acquired by acquisition unit. Trigger determination unit determines whether or not there has been an event (called a “trigger”) that triggers display of a hint to the user using the apparatus. If it is determined by trigger determination unit that a trigger has occurred, display control unit displays, on a display means, a hint corresponding to the trigger and the proficiency level determined by determination unit.
