  • Patent number: 10534571
    Abstract: A presentation system is described herein. The system can include a room for playing a scene and can be made up of a collection of displays. The system can also include media players to manage the playing of content on a corresponding display of the collection of displays. The system can also include a server to distribute objects to the media players. The scene can include the objects, which may be selectively played on the displays when the scene is played on the room. The media players can receive the objects and can determine whether the objects are intended to be played on the corresponding displays as part of the scene to be played. If so, the objects can be rendered on the corresponding displays on which the objects are intended to be played, which can bypass the rendering of the scene as a whole by the system.

  • Patent number: 10203804
    Abstract: A degree of approach of an object in positions of a detection surface is periodically detected by a sensor unit, a group of detection data items indicating a result of the detection is generated in every one of cycles. The group of detection data items generated in the sensor unit is acquired in every one of cycles by a detection data acquisition unit. In the error determination unit, it is determined in every one of cycles whether there is an error in the detection operation due to noise based on a degree of a temporal change and a degree of a positional change in the detection data. When it is determined by the error determination unit that there is an error in the detection operation of one cycle, a process of acquiring the detection data generated in the one cycle is skipped in the detection data acquisition unit.
