  • Patent number: 10073262
    Abstract: An information distribution system includes an image display apparatus including a position identification section that identifies the position of the image display apparatus, a first communication section, and a control section; and an information processing apparatus including a storage section that stores content information, a second communication section, and a selection section. The selection section selects at least two contents from a plurality of contents stored in the storage section based on the received position of the image display apparatus. The second communication section distributes content information on the selected at least two contents to the first communication section. The control section sets one content in the received content information as a first content and causes the image display section to display the set first content and the contents other than the first content in the distributed content information in different display forms.

  • Patent number: 9344711
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes an image display unit that displays an image for a stereoscopic image, a light-source control unit that controls a light source of the image display unit, a content discriminating unit that discriminates whether the image displayed on the image display unit is a limited image requiring viewing limitation or an unlimited image not requiring the viewing limitation, and a shutter control unit that controls shutter of shutter devices. The light-source control unit controls the light source to reduce light emission in a second period compared with light emission in a first period. The shutter control unit controls, during the display of the limited image, the shutter device set in a viewing limitation mode for limiting viewing of the limited image, to close the shutter in the first period and open the shutter in the second period.
