  • Publication number: 20240135860
    Abstract: A display control device includes a visual field determination unit configured to determine whether or not a display device for displaying content is included in a visual field of a person included in an image captured by an imaging device that images a region around the display device, a central visual field determination unit configured to determine whether or not the display device is included in a central visual field within the visual field, and a change determination unit configured to determine whether or not to temporarily change a display mode of the display device displaying first content before the content is switched from the first content displayed on the display device to second content to be subsequently displayed when it is determined that the display device is included in the visual field but is not included in the central visual field.

  • Publication number: 20220417584
    Abstract: A signage player includes: a time function configured to count an internal device time. The signage player also includes a time correction calculator configured to acquire a reference time from the outside, for example, an NTS server, at a timing determined in advance and synchronize the internal device time with the reference time; and a time corrector configured to calculate a time correction coefficient defined using a change rate of a time difference, an error change rate (?) between the reference time and the internal device time at a timing different from the timing determined in advance and calculate a corrected time acquired by correcting the internal device time using the time correction coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20220101631
    Abstract: A data processing device is a device that detects an abnormality in a facility disposed in a room or a sign thereof and includes an acquisition unit and a processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires processing target data. The processing target data is generated by recording an audio or a video inside the room. The processing unit processes a part of the processing target data (hereinafter, referred to as a processing target part) for generating facility information relating to a facility disposed inside the room. Then, the processing unit detects a reference timing that is a timing satisfying a reference condition set in advance and sets the processing target part using the reference timing.

  • Patent number: 10412341
    Abstract: An image display device includes a communication device transmits a transmission request to each of the image transmission devices and receives a frame including differential data transmitted by each image transmission device in response to the transmission request. A measurement unit measures, for each image transmission device, a first required time interval, which is the time required from the start of transmission of the transmission request until the start of reception of the frame, and a second required time interval, which is the time required from the start of reception until the completion of reception of the frame. A control unit causes transmission requests to be sent to each of the image transmission devices at predetermined transmission intervals, causes measurement unit to measure the first and second required time intervals, and changes the transmission interval of the transmission request based on the measurement results.

  • Patent number: 8830247
    Abstract: An image displaying device with an image cache data storage unit, including: an image cache identifier generating unit that obtains a hash value of a fixed length from sampling data of original image data and generates an image cache identifier unique to said original image data based on the hash value of a fixed length; an image cache searching unit that checks whether image cache data to which the generated image cache identifier is added is stored in said image cache memory or not; and an image cache generating unit that, when the image cache data has been not stored in said image cache memory, generates image cache data by adding the image cache identifier generated by said image cache identifier generating unit to the original image data and stores the image cache data in said image cache memory.
