  • Patent number: 10936077
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory storing a program and at least one processor that executes the program to implement processes of detecting a speed of motion of a user based on motion information relating to a motion of the user that is detected by a detection device, and generating position information of a position indication display information item, which is displayed on a display device and indicates a position designated by the user, based on the motion information relating to the motion of the user. The position information of the position indication display information item is generated by restricting a moving direction of the position indication display information item to a predetermined direction when the detected speed of motion of the user does not meet a predetermined speed condition.

  • Patent number: 10762706
    Abstract: An image acquiring unit acquires an image of a sheet on which a medium that presents an identification image, including identification information is to be placed, the sheet including a user image that is presented by a user. A first identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. An image extracting unit extracts the user image from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. A second identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the medium alone. A first storage unit stores the user image in association with the identification information. A managing unit acquires, from the first storage unit, a user image such that the identification information associated with the user image matches the identification information acquired by the second identification-information acquiring unit, among the user images that are stored in the first storage unit.

  • Patent number: 10176552
    Abstract: A computer program product for being executed on a computer causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process including reading an image data item from an image storage unit, and reading object information from an object information storage unit in which the object information relating to an object shown in the image data item is stored in association with identification information for identifying the object; displaying, by a display device, the image data items that have been read and the object information; accepting a selection of the object based on the object information, and accepting a specification of a position of the object with respect to the image data item; and displaying, in association with each other, the specified positions of the objects that have the same identification information, among the objects shown in different image data items for which the specifications of the positions have been accepted.

  • Patent number: 10162507
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires object information to be displayed on a screen; a storing unit that stores the acquired object information, time information, and a priority related to a display of an object corresponding to the acquired object information while associating the acquired object information, the time information, and the priority for each acquired object information; and a display controlling unit that controls a display position of the object based on the time information and the priority associated with the object information when the object is displayed on a screen.

  • Patent number: 10049605
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit, an image extraction unit, a registration unit, a display control unit, a coordinate generation unit, and a motion detection unit. The coordinate generation unit generates, based on a detection result of a detection unit configured to detect the position of an object in a three-dimensional space, coordinates of the object in a screen. The motion detection unit detects a motion of the object based the coordinates in the screen generated by the coordinate generation unit. The display control unit displays a first image on the screen. When the motion is detected by the motion detection unit, the display control unit further displays a second image on the screen based on coordinates corresponding to the detected motion, and changes the display of the first image.

  • Patent number: 9971556
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus for coupling to an imaging apparatus that generates a captured image covering substantially a 360-degree field of view and for transmitting an output image to an image forming apparatus includes a setting unit configured to select a type of a polyhedron that is to be constructed by folding a development printed on a medium according to the output image, a converter configured to convert coordinates in the captured image into coordinates in the development that is to be printed on the medium and folded to construct the polyhedron, such that a zenith in the captured image is printed at a topmost point of the polyhedron constructed by folding the development printed on the medium, and an image generator configured to generate the output image based on the converted coordinates.
