Abstract: A navigation system is provided. A medium insertion port is disposed on the front surface of a main unit and a portable recording medium is loaded into or unloaded from the main unit through the medium insertion port. A display unit is disposed on the front surface of the main unit and can move between a closed position where the medium insertion port is covered and an opened position where the medium insertion port is exposed. A limitation section limits the movement of the display unit to the opened position. A limitation removing section removes the limitation by the limitation section. An operation section receives an operation on the navigation system. The operation section can receive an operation other than an operation to be intrinsically received by the operation section. The limitation removing section removes the limitation by the limitation section when the operation section receives the operation other than the operation to be intrinsically received.

Abstract: An information processing device capable of processing navigation information is provided. A touch panel can display images and can receive a user's touch operation. An image generation section generates a navigation image including a map image and a plurality of operation button images for receiving the touch operation, the images being displayed on the touch panel. A plurality of operation button images include a first operation button image related to a navigation function and a second operation button image related to a plurality of functions other than the navigation function. The image generation section generates a first image which is obtained by combining the navigation image and the first operation button image and a second image which includes the second operation button. The first image and the second image are respectively displayed in a first display region and a second display region. The first display region and the second display region are separated by a movable boundary.

Abstract: An in-vehicle display system is installed in a vehicle for displaying information to a user. The system includes a display unit that displays information; an operation unit that is located separately from the display unit and that allows a user to perform user operations including a directional operation and a turning operation; and a receiver that receives user instructions for making entry of plural characters that can be displayed on the display unit, based on displayed content displayed on the display unit and the user operations made with the operation unit.

Abstract: An information processing device capable of processing navigation information is provided. Image processing means generates a signal for displaying a basic screen including a predetermined display element, to which a predetermined function is assigned, on a display device and outputs the signal to the display device. Detection means detects a user's operation of the predetermined display element displayed on the display device. Image generation means generates a superimposed display image for providing the predetermined function assigned to the predetermined display element when the operation is detected by the detection means. When the superimposed display image is generated by the image generation means, the image processing means generates a signal for displaying a superimposed screen, in which the superimposed display image is superimposed on the basic screen, on the display device and outputs the signal to the display device.

Abstract: The receiver respectively receives an instruction by a first operation to select a first item from amongst a plurality of first items displayed on a display unit, an instruction by a second operation to determine the first item selected from amongst the plurality of first items, and an instruction by a third operation to display a plurality of second items representing commands relating to the first item selected from amongst the plurality of first items.

Abstract: An in-vehicle display system for installation in a vehicle displays information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided. An item selection device selects, through a selection manipulation unit, an item from a plurality of items which are displayed in the form of a list and arranged in an arrangement direction. A manipulation detection unit detects a state of a selection manipulation of the selection manipulation unit. A display area enlargement unit enlarges a display area of the selected item in the arrangement direction when the manipulation detection unit detects that the selection manipulation of the selection manipulation unit is stopped.

Abstract: An image display whereby one can extremely easily know the current position of one's own vehicle and also grasp the actual situation around the current position of the vehicle, and with which the user gets highly satisfied. The image display includes a display device to display a photo picture on a prescribed reduced scale which is prepared based on photo data on a first scale that is read from a storage device in which photo data of two or more types in different scales to one area is stored, and a display switching device to conduct display switching according to a user's command to a photo picture on another reduced scale which is prepared based on photo data in a second scale that is different from the first scale.

Abstract: There are provided a display panel mounted in a tiltable manner on the front face portion of a main body portion, an operation panel to be mounted in a tiltable manner on the display panel, a tilt control part for controlling to tilt the display panel in response to a first tilt command and to tilt the operation panel in response to a second tilt command, and a memory part for storing inclination angle information of the operation panel corresponding to the inclination angle of the display panel. The tilt control part tilts the display panel in response to the first tilt command, and also tilts the operation panel based on the inclination angle information of the operation panel stored in the memory part.

Abstract: An in image display apparatus having a first display control unit for displaying a map image on a display panel on the basis of map data, a second display control unit for displaying real images of facilities such as ballparks, which images have the same scale of that of the map image, in areas corresponding to the facilities such as ballparks on the map image on the basis of area information indicating the areas corresponding to the facilities such as ballparks on the map image, and real image data associated with position coordinates.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes display control means for displaying a map image and a real image on a display screen on the same scale concerning the same region based on map data and real image data. The display control means has a function of superposing on either of the map image and the real image as a background, the other image in a predetermined area and combining the images so that only the other image is seen in the superposition area.
