  • Patent number: 8788110
    Abstract: A house uses solar light generated electric power and external commercial electric power and consumes the electric power with a household electronics load or the like. The house includes an electricity storage device and an electric power management device. The electric power management device further has a function to calculate transition of the load electric power, transition of the solar battery generated electric power, and transition of a leveled external commercial electric power during one day, classify the electric power by the power generation methods, apply a green index serving as a standardized index which is defined in advance to each power generation method to calculate an electric power green index, and display a result thereof on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 7439991
    Abstract: An image information presentation system, wherein when all image information is read from a material memory 101 and is reduced by a listing control means 105 to be listed on a display means 102, the image information read by the listing control means 105 is determined whether to be a still image or a moving image. If the image information is a moving image, thumbnails (reduced image) is driven in a listing state. Further, the image information presentation system, comprises a template listing section 72 for listing the templates and parts image information in the material memory 1 on the display means 4, a position specification means 5 for specifying the listed image information at a plural of positions on the display screen of the display means 4, and a presentation document preparation means 12 for storing all image information specified in a template constructed in relating decorative frame for storing image between a plural of pages and preparing a presentation document.

  • Patent number: 6747610
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus capable of presenting a stereoscopic image of a desired planer image includes an input operating unit for designating an image of a desired portion of the planer image, and a stereoscopic display control unit for displaying, on a stereoscopic display screen, stereo-pair images corresponding to the image of the designated portion by the input operating unit. The stereo-pair images are prepared in advance corresponding to the image of the designated portion. Alternatively, the stereo-pair images may be automatically generated for the partial image.

  • Patent number: 6225979
    Abstract: When a CPU of a computer in which a cursor display apparatus is incorporated reads out the position of a cursor in a display which is input through an input operation unit, determination is made whether the read out cursor position is inside or outside a stereoscopic image display region of the display. When the read cursor position is within the stereoscopic image display region, bit map image data for two cursors is displayed according to the read cursor position. When the read cursor position is outside the stereoscopic image display region, one cursor is displayed by the OS of the computer according to the read cursor position. Therefore, in a display including a stereoscopic image display region and a plane image display region, a cursor can be displayed in a manner switched between a stereoscopic image and a plane image according to the display region.

  • Patent number: 5831765
    Abstract: The 2-D/3-D compatible type image display according to the present invention is constructed by arranging a liquid crystal panel which is a display panel, a dispersed type liquid crystal panel which is a diffusing effect on/off panel, a light separating means, a backlight which is a plane light source, so as to be nearer to an observer in this order. It is possible by processing the image signal supplied to the liquid crystal panel to form a first group of pixels lined in longitudinal direction of a picture and a second group of pixels lined in the same direction of the picture alternately formed in horizontal direction, and to make the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels have different observing points respectively as left eye pixels and right eye pixels (when 3-D images are displayed), or to make the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels have the same observing points with each other (when 2-D images are displayed).
