  • Patent number: 11625876
    Abstract: A display device according synthesizes icons and messages with a portion where no descriptive display image is displayed by OSD for display. Icon functions are set by a PC so that the setting of the operation of the PC and the display device, and the setting of an external device can be conducted. The number of lines of the message to be displayed is determined according to distortion correction at the case of oblique projection to correct position coordinates detected by a camera. In a presentation system including an interactive white board device, the display device (for example, a liquid crystal projector), and the PC, the display of the icons are improved to extend the functions, and the display of the messages at the case of oblique projection, and a position detection precision on a screen by the camera incorporated into the display device are improved.

  • Patent number: 10268284
    Abstract: In an image display system including a pen and a projection-type image display device having an interactive function, attributes such as a color and a thickness of a line or a figure to be drawn can be more flexibly switched at a lower cost. According to a typical embodiment, a pen-shaped pointing tool has a light emitting portion which emits non-visible light with a predetermined wavelength. The projection-type image display device has an interactive function unit which, from image data captured by a sensor performing image-capturing based on reflection light of the non-visible light with the predetermined wavelength reflected on the screen, recognizes a position of and a content of a light emitting pattern emitted from the pointing tool onto the screen, and executes process contents which are different from one another, based on the recognized position of and content of the light emitting pattern.
