  • Patent number: 10764558
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing stereo depth cameras for head-mounted display systems that require less memory and/or processing power. The stereo depth camera may include a left camera and a right camera spaced apart from each other by a distance. Each of the left and right cameras may be skewed outward by a non-zero angle from a forward direction of the head-mounted display system to provide a relatively wide field of view for the stereo depth camera. Each of the left and right cameras may include a camera sensor array and a camera lens positioned forward of the camera sensor array. Each of the camera lenses may include an optical axis that is laterally offset from the center of the associated camera sensor array toward a center of the support structure to center the left camera lens substantially on a scene center or principal point.

  • Patent number: 9794506
    Abstract: An input apparatus, a display apparatus, and control methods thereof are disclosed. The input apparatus for the display apparatus includes a user input device configured to receive a user's input; communication circuitry configured to communicate with the display apparatus; a driver configured to provide a driving force to drive the input apparatus to move; and at least one processor configured to control the driver to move the input apparatus to a preset location corresponding to a user's location in response to a preset event so that a user can take and use the input apparatus. Thus, a movable input apparatus comes to a user by itself and provides user-friendly interaction, thereby improving a user's convenience.

  • Patent number: 9137522
    Abstract: A control device for three dimensional display has an image processor and a timing signal generator. The image processor is used for receiving a first and a second input image signals to generate a first, a second, and a third output image signals. The first output image signal comprises part of the first input image signal. The second output image signal comprises part of the first input image signal and part of the second input image signal. The third output image signal comprises part of the second input image signal. The timing signal generator is used for generating a first lens control signal for configuring a first lens to be non-opaque when the second output image signal is displayed on a display device, and generating a second lens control signal for configuring a second lens to be non-opaque when the third output image signal is displayed on the display device.

  • Patent number: 8817181
    Abstract: A digital cable broadcast receiver and a method for automatically processing caption data of various standards and types, is disclosed. The digital broadcast receiver includes: a demultiplexer for dividing a received broadcast stream into video data, audio data, supplementary information; a controller for determining whether caption data included in the video data is digital caption data or analog caption data on the basis of caption information included in the supplementary information, and outputting a control signal according to a result of the determining; a digital caption decoder for extracting and decoding digital caption data from the video data according to the control signal; and an analog caption decoder for extracting and decoding analog caption data from the video data according to the control signal.
