  • Patent number: 9648382
    Abstract: A display apparatus connected to a content server via a network, includes a content acquisition unit that acquires content with an input format; an input format detection unit that detects an input format of content to be acquired; a storage unit that stores information on the content server connected to the display apparatus; a server search unit that searches for a content server in the network; and a server connection unit that, upon the input format detection unit detecting that the input format of the content to be acquired is an input format of content acquired from a content server, connects to at least one of a content server specified by the information stored in the storage unit and a content server searched for and detected by the server search unit.

  • Patent number: 9229585
    Abstract: A projection system includes a projection unit configured to project a projected image on a surface for projection; an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of an image-capturing area representing an area; an operation detection unit configured to detect any user operation on an operation target image representing a targeted image for the user operation by using the captured image; a calculation unit configured to calculate image-capturing area coordinates for specifying a position of the image-capturing area in the projected image based on the captured image and the projected image; a position determination unit configured to determine a position of the operation target image in the projected image based on the image-capturing area coordinates; and a projected image generating unit configured to generate a projected image in which the operation target image is laid out on the determined position.

  • Publication number: 20150261699
    Abstract: An output device includes an output unit configured to output a content that has been specified, based on content data; an interrupt control unit configured to cause the output unit to output a second content by interrupting a first content, when an instruction to output the second content is given while the output unit is outputting the first content; and a return control unit configured to cause the output unit to output the first content by a return mode determined based on the content data of the first content when output of the second content ends.

  • Publication number: 20140376878
    Abstract: A display device includes a display unit that reproduces motion image data, and provides mode information indicating a mode of reproduction of the motion image data; a storage unit that stores a criterion for aborting a reproduction of motion image data reproduced by the display unit according to a mode of reproduction of motion image data; and a determination unit that, in response to a request for aborting a reproduction of motion image data reproduced by the display unit, determines whether to abort the reproduction of the motion image data based on a criterion for aborting a reproduction of motion image data stored in the storage unit according to the mode of reproduction indicated by the mode information.
