  • Display apparatus, method for controlling display apparatus, and electronic apparatus
    Publication number: 20100013795
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit including display elements and light detection elements, a light emitting unit including a light emitting element, a first controller for controlling the light emitting element, a second controller for selectively controlling the light detection elements, a signal processing unit for processing a detection signal obtained by detecting light emitted from the light emitting unit using the light detection elements and acquiring coordinate information, and a clock generator for providing a base frequency to the signal processing unit and the first and second controllers. The first controller causes the light emitting element to emit light during a signal light emission period and stop emission of the light during a light emission stop period, and the first controller superposes the base frequency on a signal serving as the coordinate information and causes the light emitting element to emit light during the signal light emission period.

  • Information transmission method, information processing method, information processing apparatus, electronic device, and imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 6721829
    Abstract: In order to connect a control signal processing system of a device, which does not have a control signal processing system for coding and processing a control signal, to a control signal processing system for coding and processing such a control signal, circuitry is added to the existing control signal processing systems for delivering mutual signals between a control signal processing system (1) for coding and processing control signals such as VISCA and a control signal processing system for processing a signal representing information as a signal level value. It thus becomes possible to connect control signals of a device (30, 37, 38) which does not have a control signal processing system for coding and processing the control signal to a control signal processing system (1) for coding and processing the control signal.

  • Information processing device, information processing system, information processing method, and information processing program
    Publication number: 20030153992
    Abstract: An information processing device which enables a user to intuitively operate basic operations of even a jog dial-unsupportable application is provided. When a jog dial-unsupportable application program is started, a jog dial server refers to a jog script and first displays, in a jog dial window, items related to basic operations of the jog dial-unsupportable application program that can be associated with operations based on a jog dial.
