  • Patent number: 11183154
    Abstract: An image display system includes a plurality of terminals each having a first screen and a display control device that controls a display device including a second screen. The plurality of terminals each transmit to the display control device an image of an active window on the first screen and image supplemental information including image position information indicating a position of the image on the first screen. The display control device receives the image and the image supplemental information, determines a position of the image on the second screen based on the image supplemental information, and causes the image to be displayed at the position determined on the second screen.

  • Publication number: 20200389508
    Abstract: An image transmission system including a plurality of terminals each having a first screen and a transmission control device that controls transmission of a plurality of images to be displayed on a display device having a second screen. Each of the plurality of terminals transmits, as one of the plurality of images, an image of a window on the first screen to the transmission control device. The transmission control device receives the plurality of images from the plurality of terminals, obtains image supplemental information about the image or terminal information about the plurality of terminals, and determines a ranking order of transmission rates of the plurality of images to be transmitted from the plurality of terminals to the transmission control device, based on the image supplemental information or the terminal information.

  • Publication number: 20190113358
    Abstract: A display processing device controls a screen displayed on a display unit. The display unit includes a pressure-sensitive sensor and a touch sensor. The display processing device includes: an input information acquisition unit that acquires input information including a position and pressing force of touch operation performed on the display unit; and a display controller that, when the touch operation having the pressing force greater than or equal to a threshold is performed while a first screen is displayed on the display unit, selects a second screen of a switching destination based on a position where the touch operation is performed, causes the second screen to appear from a side corresponding to a direction associated with the second screen, causes the first screen to move toward an opposite side of the side from which the second screen appears and disappear, and thereby switches the first screen with the second screen.

  • Patent number: 9791133
    Abstract: A lighting control device includes a sensor that detects a state of a user and a gesture made by the user and a controller that controls a lighting characteristic of a lighting device. In the lighting control device and/or the lighting control method, it is determined (by the controller) whether a gesture made by the user and acquired by the sensor matches a first predetermined gesture including a predetermined hand shape and a predetermined movement of both hands of the user made within a detecting region between a boundary 30% larger than a periphery of a projection region illuminated by the lighting device and a boundary 30% smaller than the periphery of the projection region. When it is determined that the gesture matches the first predetermined gesture, a size of the projection region is changed (by the controller).

  • Patent number: 9781812
    Abstract: A lighting control device includes: a sensor that detects a state of a user and a gesture made by the user; and a controller that controls a lighting characteristic of one or more lighting devices. In the lighting control device and in a method of controlling the lighting device, the sensor detects a first state and a second state of a hand of the user. In response to the sensor detecting the hand of the user in the first state aiming at one lighting device among the one or more lighting devices, the controller designates the one lighting device as a control target lighting device, and in response to the sensor detecting a predetermined gesture involving the hand in the second state, the controller controls a lighting characteristic of the control target lighting device.

  • Patent number: 8671344
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide an information display device for easily changing a scrolling speed and a display mode. The information display device receives an instruction for displaying a plurality of contents, via a move operation on a two-dimensional plane defined by first and second axes; determines a moving speed for moving the contents, based on a motion component of the move operation along the first axis, and determines a display mode for displaying the contents, based on a motion component of the move operation along the second axis; and displays the contents in the display mode on a screen, by scrolling through the contents at the moving speed.

  • Patent number: 8196060
    Abstract: A planar image and a mark are displayed on a display having an outer periphery. A region is provided on the display. The region has a boundary distanced from the outer periphery of the display. The mark is moved with respect to the planar image on the display when the mark is positioned in the region. The planar image is scrolled in a direction directed from the region to the mark on the display when the mark is positioned at an outside of the region. This method allows the mark to be positioned efficiently.
