Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a gesture detection unit for recognizing a user's hand at a predetermined range; an information control unit controlling information output to a display; and an in-vehicle device control unit receiving input from a control unit equipped in a vehicle to control the in-vehicle device. When the gesture detection unit detects a user's hand at a predetermined position, the output information control unit triggers the display to display candidates of an operation executed by the in-vehicle device control unit by associating the candidates with the user's hand motions. When the gesture detection unit detects the user's hand, and the user's hand has thereafter moved from the position, the information control unit changes a selection method or a control guide of the operation to be executed by the in-vehicle device control unit, which is displayed on the display, to subject matter which matches the control unit.

Abstract: A video display device includes first and second illuminators irradiating a manipulation surface with illumination light for manipulation detection in different directions, an imaging unit employing an imaging element of a rolling shutter system that images the irradiated manipulation surface together with a manipulation object of a user, and a contact point detecting unit detecting a contact point at which the manipulation object of the user touches the manipulation surface based on a captured image of the imaging unit. Captured images of shadows of the manipulation object of the user formed by repeatedly lighting up the first illuminator and the second illuminator alternately are used in a contact point detection process of the contact point detecting unit, and in the alternate lighting of the first illuminator and the second illuminator, a lighting period of one illuminator is longer than an imaging cycle of one frame of the imaging unit.

Abstract: A projection video display device includes: a projection unit projecting a display video upon a projection surface; an image capture unit; detection units detecting the states of manipulation objects which carry out actions for the input manipulation; a manipulation instruction information generating unit, on the basis of the states of the manipulation objects which the detection units have detected, generating manipulation instruction information indicating a description of the input manipulation; and a communication unit connecting to the information processing device. The detection units detect movements of manipulation objects and attributes which represent the states of manipulation objects other than the movements.

Abstract: An information processor includes: a user information acquiring unit acquiring user information for identifying a user; a display; a viewing time measuring unit measuring a viewing time during which a previously-registered user views contents information on the display; and a controller. The controller determines whether the user is the registered user, based on the user information and registered user information for identifying the registered user. When the user is the registered user, the controller causes the display to display the contents information, causes the viewing time measuring unit to measure the viewing time, compares a cumulative viewing time that is a total of the viewing times cumulated within a period of time with a viewing limit time that is a previously-set upper limit of the cumulative viewing time, and gives the registered user a warning when the cumulative viewing time is equal to or longer than the viewing limit time.

Abstract: In a projection-type video display device that displays an image by projecting the image onto a projection object starting from a desk surface, a display screen on which a position and a gesture operation of a user are reflected is displayed in a predetermined area. An illumination and a camera are disposed in the projection-type video display device installed on the desk surface, a gesture using user's fingers is detected, and, for example, a menu screen and an operation guide are displayed according to the gesture. The shadows of the fingers are photographed by the camera, and a gesture is detected. According to the gesture, the display screen is moved, rotated, divided, or enlarged/reduced, or a menu screen is displayed. The display direction is determined in consideration of the direction of sides of the desk.
