  • Patent number: 10977935
    Abstract: In an information processing device, an acquirer acquires a congestion degree in the vicinity of multiple vehicles arranged in a certain arrangement pattern. A deriver derives a move instruction for moving a target vehicle among the multiple vehicles such as to change a space between vehicles, on the basis of an acquired congestion degree. A communication unit transmits the move instruction to the target vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20190195633
    Abstract: An acquisition unit in an information processing device acquires a traveling time of a vehicle from a place of departure to a destination, and a period of time required for a task performed by a user. A derivation unit derives a period of time required for a remaining task in accordance with the period of time required for the task acquired by the acquisition unit and a period of time that the user performed the task. An output unit outputs a suggestion, for departure in the vehicle, when the period of time required for the remaining task derived by the derivation unit and the traveling time acquired by the acquisition unit meet a predetermined relationship.

  • Publication number: 20190042014
    Abstract: A withdrawal amount calculation unit calculates a withdrawal amount of a display portion and transmits the withdrawal amount to a display control unit. In a case where a display width of the display portion based on the withdrawal amount exceeds a display threshold value, the display control unit causes the display portion to display second content together with first content. In this manner, in a case where the withdrawal amount is detected and the display width based on the withdrawal amount exceeds the threshold value, content (the second content) other than the first content is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display a plurality of contents only when it is better to output the plurality of contents to the user according to a withdrawal operation of the user.

  • Patent number: 8049721
    Abstract: A pointer light tracking method wherein all black image and white square images located at four corners of the all black image are projected on the display, the display on which the all black image and the white square images are displayed is shot by a camera, a domain corresponding to the white square image is extracted from the obtained image data, central coordinates (x, y) of the extracted domain are computed, and a parameter necessary in performing distortion correction by use of projection conversion for coordinate expressing the position of the pointer light on the display is computed from the computed central coordinates (x, y) and central coordinates (X, Y) of the white square image.

  • Publication number: 20100134702
    Abstract: A projector system projects derivation markers (3010) together with a guarantee marker (3020) onto a projector screen, allows noise images as marker candidates, automatically generates a plurality of provisional two-dimensional projection conversion formulas, and uses the position of the guarantee marker (3020) to detect the true conversion formula from among the generated plurality of conversion formulas.

  • Publication number: 20100013801
    Abstract: In a projector system, a user specifies an arbitrary position on a projector screen (60) using laser light by means of a light pen (30). A PC (10) detects the continued specification of the same position for a prescribed amount of time on the basis of an acquired image of an optical receiver (40). After the prescribed amount of time elapses, the PC (10) generates an ON flag signal equivalent to the click button operation of a mouse.
