Abstract: The present invention provides a DPF failure detection method and a DPF failure detection device, which can be realized with a simple configuration and detect a failure at low cost. The theoretical deposited amount of PM on a DPF 4 is calculated from the operating state of an internal combustion engine 2. The actual deposited amount of the PM on the DPF 4 is measured based on the electrical capacitance of an electrical capacitance type PM sensor 6. When the divergence of the actual deposited amount from the theoretical deposited amount exceeds an allowable limit, it is determined that the DPF 4 has a failure.

Abstract: A display device of the present invention displays a first image stored in first memory and a second image stored in second memory, by overlaying the first image on the second image. Once a display size/position of the first image is acquired, a first image generation unit is controlled to start generating the first image complying with the acquired display size/position. Until generation of the first image is completed, (i) a second image generation unit is controlled to generate an opaque second image that is opaque and large enough in size to cover the first image being generated, and (ii) the opaque second image is displayed. Upon completion of generation of the first image, (i) the second image generation unit is controlled to generate a partially transparent second image including a transparent part to be positioned over the first image, and (ii) the partially transparent second image is displayed.

Abstract: A redrawing area displaying unit 37 sets a redrawing area SD based on an area redrawn by a drawing processing unit 32 in each frame, and displays an image representing the set redrawing area SD by overlapping the image on a GUI. Each time a frame of the GUI is updated by the drawing processing unit 32, a target redrawing area displaying unit 39 measures a drawing processing time TS of the updated frame, and when the measured drawing processing time TS exceeds a predetermined reference processing time TR, calculates a target redrawing area MD that is drawable within the reference processing time TR, and overlaps an image representing the calculated target redrawing area MD on an excess frame and displays this image.

Abstract: An animation control apparatus has: an interpolation component information creating unit (14) that interpolates first and second component information included respectively in first and second keyframe information acquired by an animation controller (13), to create interpolation component information expressing an interpolation screen component; a rendering time period computing unit (16) that calculates a rendering time period required in a rendering process for displaying the interpolation screen component on a display unit (2); a rendering determination unit (15) that determines, based on the rendering time period, whether or not the rendering process for displaying the interpolation screen component on the display unit (2) is completed by a second rendering start time included in the second keyframe information; and a display controller (18) that waits without performing the rendering process for displaying the interpolation screen component on the display unit (2), when determination is made that the ren

Abstract: Provided is an operation guidance display apparatus which enables improvement of an operability for a user. When an input device (101) is changed, a display information change rule extraction section (106) extracts a function display information change rule for displaying guidance display information having been extracted. A display information change section (107) invalidates, in the guidance display information having been extracted, a display rule for operation auxiliary information corresponding to input information which is not used as input information. The display information change section (107) generates an operable GUI representing the operation auxiliary information for symbol information having been invalidated, by using the input information defined in the input information conversion table, thereby performing an appropriate operation guidance display.

Abstract: A multi-window display apparatus capable of displaying a plurality of windows on a screen thereof is provided with means for, when a new window is displayed so as to be superimposed on a window which has already been displayed, displaying the new window without covering significant information as ranch as possible. Upon a display request of a new window, a display object priority comparison section (103) determines, based on information stored in a display object information management section (104), an area having a low display priority on a display device (106). A new window display position determination section (102) displays the new window so as to be superimposed on the area having the low display priority.

Abstract: A display object layout changing device for changing a layout of a new display object so that the new display object, made transparent, within a new display window does not overlap an existing display object within an existing display window, is provided. A new display object determination section (103) determines whether or not a transparency is set for the new display object. When the transparency is set, a display object layout determination section (104) determines whether or not the layout of the new display object is to be changed. When the layout of the new display object is to be changed, the display object layout changing section (105) changes the layout so that the new display object does not overlap the existing display object. A display control section (106) displays the new display window including the new display object, of which the layout has been changed, on the display screen.

Abstract: A display object blending apparatus capable of preventing a desired display object from being covered and hidden, by semi-transparently displaying a display object to cover another display object which meets a condition is provided. An instruction section (101), an overlap determination section (102), a condition determination section (103), and a blending section (104) are included. When a new display object is displayed, the overlap determination section (102) determines whether or not the new display object covers an existing display object, the condition determination section (103) determines the transparency of an area including at least an area which covers the existing display object, and the blending section (104) generates display data with the determined transparency. Thus, in accordance with whether or not the existing display object to be covered meets a predetermined condition, it is possible to determine whether or not the new display object is to be made semi-transparent.

Abstract: A keyword extraction section (108) extracts, from an electronic document (101), a plurality of character strings in accordance with information of a keyword management section (107). An action determination section (110) determines, with reference to an action definition management section (109), effect actions correlated with keywords which are corresponding to the extracted plurality of the character strings. An executing action instruction section (114) determines, from the extracted plurality of the character strings, character strings to the execute effect actions, and gives an instruction to an output control section (111). The output control section (111) controls, in accordance with the instruction given by the executing action instruction section (114), the effect actions to be executed by an output section (103).

Abstract: A data input system has a key pad with a plurality of keys and a display. The selected key is displayed in the display, but the character size of the selected key on the display is small and difficult to recognize. The face of the selected key appears on the display as a pop-up display in an enlarged scale. Thus, it is easy to recognize the selected key.
