  • Publication number: 20160042443
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires characteristic information on a subject. Another acquisition unit acquires a scheduled waiting time for the subject. A calculator calculates a predicted time. A decision unit decides the kinds and/or the number of clothing images to be displayed on a first display such that the kinds and/or the number decreases as the predicted time is longer relative to the scheduled waiting time. Out of the clothing images corresponding to the acquired characteristic information, a first display controller displays on the first display the clothing images corresponding to the decided kinds and/or number. An acceptor accepts from the subject a selection of the image of clothing to be tried on, from among the clothing images displayed on the first display. A generator generates a composite image of a subject image and the selected clothing image. A second display controller displays the composite image on a second display.

  • Patent number: 5467199
    Abstract: Tone signal (34a) having a reference frequency (f) which is produced by the tone signal generation device (34) at the transmitter part is transmitted, via transmitter device (32), antenna (31), aerial line, antenna (32), to the reception sector (12). Then, the received tone signal (12a) is compared by the frequency correction circuit (A) with the preset reference signal (f), and according to a result of the comparison, a frequency produced by the reception sector (12) is corrected. That is, an error produced between the transmission frequency by the transmitter (32) and the reception frequency by the receiver (12) is apparently canceled. Thereby facsimile data can be transmitted so correctly to the receiver part so that the facsimile communication with use of radio SSB system can be successfully applied, although there may be an error between the transmitter frequency and the receiver frequency.
