  • Publication number: 20210264681
    Abstract: An input display control device includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring an image of a three-dimensional space, a curve information acquisition unit for acquiring curve information indicating a three-dimensional curve, and a character string acquisition unit for acquiring a character string. Further, there is a display control unit for generating display information for superimposing character objects that are objects indicating characters included in the character string acquired by the character string acquisition unit on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, along a curve indicated by the curve information acquired by the curve information acquisition unit. The display control unit arranges some of the character objects for the characters in a surrounding three-dimensional space of a three-dimensional space indicated by the display area.

  • Patent number: 10627981
    Abstract: A sensor detects whether or not an input device and a display device are in a combined state. A control mode determining unit determines a control mode associated with the state detected by the sensor. A control processing unit switches a control mode of a control target apparatus to the control mode determined by the control mode determining unit, and causes the display device to display a function to be operated in a display mode corresponding to the switched control mode.
