  • Patent number: 10438384
    Abstract: An image display system includes: a display device; a detecting device for detecting a position pointed by an input device, on a display screen of the display device; and a display control device that, in accordance with a drawing on the display screen using the input device, causes the display device to display an image corresponding to the drawing in conformity with a setting corresponding to the position on the display screen at which the drawing has been started. The settings are different from each other depending on the areas on the display screen defined by multiple reference points provided thereon.

  • Publication number: 20140232738
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to carry out, simply and reliably, distortion correction and uneven brightness correction, and includes a memory for blending data; a memory for geometric correction data; an image correcting unit; and a CPU which, upon receiving two-dimensional correction data representing the contents of geometric correction data for performing distortion correction and blending data for performing brightness correction, creates the blending data and the geometric correction data based on the two-dimensional correction data, stores the data into the memory for blending data and into the memory for geometric correction data, refers, as regards the input image signal, to the stored contents in the memory for blending data and the memory for geometric correction data and causes the image correcting unit to perform distortion correction and uneven brightness correction in accordance with the stored contents.

  • Publication number: 20120013628
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes memories 31 and 32; DMA controller 33 that periodically performs a data transfer from memory 31 to memory 32; display 34 that displays an image based on a video signal output from memory 31; video output terminal 35 that outputs a video signal output from memory 32 to an external device; and controller 30 that, when executing a specific application, prohibits screen information related to the specific application from being transferred by DMA controller 33, and then writes the screen information into memory 31.

  • Publication number: 20110138200
    Abstract: A terminal device that can be remotely controlled in a time range that is freely set up even in a power saving mode is provided. The terminal device includes input section 2; communication means that can communicate with an external device; power supply control section 5 that supplies power to the communication means; calendar IC 6 into which is set an interrupt start time and an end time and which generates an interrupt start command at the start time and an interrupt end command at the end time; backup power supply 7 that supplies power to calendar IC 6; and CPU 1 that controls power control section 5 to perform a power supply operation. CPU 1 causes power control section 5 to supply power to the communication means in a time range decided by the interrupt start command and the interrupt end command that CPU 1 has generated so as to allow input section 2 and the communication section to be used.
