Abstract: A space-dividing apparatus for a single-leaf section, a divider etc. A division plate section constitutes a single-leaf screen device and divides a space. On a front surface of the division plate section, nine TV receiving sets are arranged in a matrix shape and an attachable/detachable manner. On a back surface of the division plate section, nine image pickup elements are mounted to, for example, positions that correspond to the TV receiving sets respectively, when each are detached. An imaging direction of each of the image pickup elements can be automatically aligned with a line of sight of the user based on a position of the user (position of a remote controller). An image due to a video signal obtained by each of the image pickup elements can be displayed on the TV receiving sets, thereby permitting the user to observe the other side of the division plate section easily.

Abstract: An information presentation apparatus including a video signal inputting unit, a first image generating unit, a second image generating unit, and an image combining unit is provided. A video signal is inputted to the video signal inputting unit. The first image generating unit is configured to generate an image using the video signal inputted from the video signal inputting unit. The second image generating unit is configured to generate a small image with a display size smaller than a display size of the image generated by the first image generating unit. The image combining unit is configured to combine the small image generated by the second image generating unit with the image generated by the first image generating unit by placing the small image at a predetermined display position in a subtitle display area where a subtitle image is displayed within the image generated by the first image generating unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is an information presentation system that includes a plurality of information presentation apparatuses movable and displaying images of a plurality of objects, and a control apparatus outputting control signals for controlling the information presentation apparatuses. Each information presentation apparatus includes a display unit, a moving unit, a driving unit, a position sensor, a first communication unit, and a control unit. The control apparatus includes an object position information obtaining unit, a second communication unit, and a control unit. The control unit of the information presentation apparatus control to display an image of the object, for which position information has been obtained by the object position information obtaining unit of the control apparatus, on the display unit and control to drive the driving unit based on the control signal received by the first communication unit.

Abstract: A display device securing mechanism to which a plurality of display devices that are linearly disposed are mountable includes a plurality of housings to which the plurality of display devices are mounted, first rotating members which rotate the corresponding housings around a rotational axis extending vertically with respect to the display devices, and a second rotating member which rotates all of the housings together.
