  • Publication number: 20100060552
    Abstract: A see-through-type head mount display includes a display unit which is configured to project an image light corresponding to display information on an eye of a viewer thus allowing the viewer to visually recognize an image corresponding to the image light while allowing an external light to pass therethrough. The head mount display determines a distribution state of identifying objects within a detected imaging region, and decides a display mode of associated information which is associated with the respective identifying objects corresponding to a distribution state of the identifying objects. Further, the head mount display performs a control such that a display unit performs a display of the associated information which is associated with the identifying objects in the decided mode in association with the identifying objects viewable by a viewer in a see-through manner through the display unit.

  • Patent number: 7470073
    Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium is provided to have a print control program embedded thereon. The program is executable by a print control apparatus that includes an information memory that memorizes an outer diameter for each of a plural different cylindrical members. The program, when being executed by the print control apparatus and when an outer diameter is selected from a plurality of outer diameters of cylindrical members by a user and a cylindrical member associated with the user-selected outer diameter corresponds to one of the plural cylindrical members memorized in the information memory, causes the print control apparatus to determine at least part of a label configuration based on the dimension of the selected cylindrical member and arrange a print image within at least one of a range corresponding to the at least part of the determined label configuration and a second range adjacent to the first range.
