  • Publication number: 20090307629
    Abstract: In an on-vehicle audio device (10), a CPU (111) executes a music composition search process. In the music composition search process, when an icon is selected from an icon selection region (220) on a display screen (210) and arranged in an icon setting region (230), the icon is set as an icon represent ting a search condition. Here, a music composition having a music composition characteristic amount corresponding to the attribute of the icon is searched from a music composition DB (151). On the other hand, when a plurality of icons are arranged while being superposed in the icon setting region (230), a synthesized icon corresponding to the superposition is displayed in the icon setting region (230) according to a preset correspondence, so as to search a music composition having the music composition characteristic amount corresponding to the attribute of the synthesized icon.

  • Publication number: 20070195010
    Abstract: A display unit displays an image, and includes plural independent image displays. A sound output unit outputs sound corresponding to an image displayed on the display unit. A storage unit stores image data of an image to be displayed on the display unit, sound data to be output by the sound output unit, and various kinds of content data. A switch detects various instructions input by a user. An input/output unit inputs and outputs image data and sound data communicated between the image displays. A power supply unit supplies a current to each functional unit. A controller controls display of an image on the display unit, while enlarging a single image displayed on a single image display to display enlarged image on an entire display unit, and reducing a single image displayed on the entire display unit to display reduced-sized image on a single image display.

  • Publication number: 20070146244
    Abstract: A display device that displays an image on a display screen includes plural light emitting members arranged along the display screen. The light emitting members emit light along a longitudinal direction thereof, and are coupled so that the light emitting members can be rolled around center of axis parallel to the longitudinal direction. The rolled light emitting members are stored in a storage unit such that one side of the display screen is supported by a support member provided in the storage unit.
