  • Patent number: 11961269
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) detects an object (30) from a captured image (20) generated by an image capture apparatus (10). The information processing apparatus (2000) determines, based on a range occupied by an image area representing the object (30) in the captured image (20), a partial range relevant to the object (30), within an output range of an output apparatus that performs an output having influence on an image capture environment. The information processing apparatus (2000) determines, based on a feature value of the image area representing the detected object (30), an output setting of the output apparatus for the partial range. The information processing apparatus (2000) applies, to the output apparatus, the output setting for the partial range determined for the object (30).

  • Patent number: 6337728
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device capable of preventing occurrence of display irregularity due to movement of spherical spacer materials. The liquid crystal display device includes a pixel electrode and counter electrode that are formed on a liquid crystal-side surface of one transparent substrate of respective transparent substrates disposed opposing each other with a liquid crystal being laid therebetween, wherein the transmissivity of light transmitting between this pixel electrode and the counter electrode is controlled by twisting of molecules of the liquid crystal as caused by an electric field generated between the pixel electrode and counter electrode. In the liquid crystal display device, spacer materials are provided between respective ones of said transparent substrates. These spacers are fixed and disposed on an insulating layer underlying an orientation film which is in contact with said liquid crystal on the one transparent substrate side.
