Patent number: 10191594Abstract: In a projection-type video display device that displays an image by projecting the image onto a projection object starting from a desk surface, a display screen on which a position and a gesture operation of a user are reflected is displayed in a predetermined area. An illumination and a camera are disposed in the projection-type video display device installed on the desk surface, a gesture using user's fingers is detected, and, for example, a menu screen and an operation guide are displayed according to the gesture. The shadows of the fingers are photographed by the camera, and a gesture is detected. According to the gesture, the display screen is moved, rotated, divided, or enlarged/reduced, or a menu screen is displayed. The display direction is determined in consideration of the direction of sides of the desk.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: MAXELL, LTD.Inventors: Minoru Hasegawa, Mitsuo Nakajima, Takashi Matsubara, Sakiko Narikawa
