  • Patent number: 9500862
    Abstract: Provided is a display information generation apparatus that displays information in a manner so that it becomes possible to immediately and intuitively recognize the information, which is for guiding a mobile body. A navigation apparatus provided with a display that moves together with a vehicle is provided with a display data generation unit that acquires position information indicating the position of the vehicle, acquires, on the basis of the acquired position information, distance information indicating the distance from the position of the vehicle of facilities positioned along the road along which the vehicle is moving, and, on the basis of the acquired position information and distance information, displays an icon indicating the facilities at both sides of the road at the display arranged in order of the order of appearance accompanying the motion of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8830274
    Abstract: A content playback device 1 displays a content list displayed on a display unit 2 in a first display mode in which list words are identical in size to each other and list buttons are identical in size to each other if a speed of scrolling for the content list is lower than a threshold. If the speed of the scrolling for the content list is equal to or higher than the threshold, the content playback device 1 displays the content list in a second display mode in which list words and list buttons arranged at the middle of the content list are displayed to be larger in size than those displayed in the first display mode with list words and list buttons being gradually reduced in size from the middle to each of the upward and downward directions.

  • Patent number: 7751970
    Abstract: To safely and easily provide information that an operator needs, when a mobile body has started to move, a first acquiring unit and a second acquiring unit respectively acquire corresponding image information. Using the acquired image information and map information, an extracting unit extracts map information identical to the image information of the scenery around the mobile body. A selecting unit selects, from the extracted map information, an object that coincides with the position of the point viewed by the operator in the image information of the scenery around the mobile body. An output unit outputs information concerning the selected object.
