  • Publication number: 20100170950
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a reading apparatus of an information code, a reading method, and a display reading system of the information code, in which even if symbol areas serving as references when sampling a photograph image signal obtained by photographing a display screen are not provided in the information code, information code data representing the information code can be obtained from the photograph image signal. When reading the information code displayed on a display apparatus, first, an image signal obtained when all pixel cells of the display apparatus have emitted light is extracted as a first image signal from the photograph image signal obtained by photographing the display screen of the display apparatus. Further, an image signal obtained for a period of time during which the information code is displayed is extracted as a second image signal from the photograph image signal.

  • Patent number: 7075566
    Abstract: A display having separate transmitting and receiving sets is provided with a feature to simplify adjustment to the video signal transmission path between the both sets. The display employs a directional video signal transmission path and a sub communication path using a non-directional communication medium independent from the transmission path. Fine adjustment to subtly adjust the spatial matching of the video signal transmission path is carried out using a control signal transmitted through the sub communication path. Coarse adjustment to roughly adjust the spatial matching of the video signal transmission path is carried out using a test video image displayed at the display portion of the receiving set. These fine adjustment and coarse adjustment are combined to keep an optimum spatial matching of the video signal transmission path between the sets.
