  • Patent number: 10142265
    Abstract: A setup that allows special communication between the user and the specific user is provided. The server in an embodiment includes an information storage unit, an event reservation management unit, a virtual space management unit, and a video chat control unit. The virtual space management unit causes a standby screen to be displayed, the standby screen being a screen for standing by for the video chat with the specific user and including user information of a plurality of users standing by for the video chat. The video chat control unit specifies, in accordance with a predetermined rule, one user from the plurality of users standing by for video chat, and causes the communication for video chat to be performed between the terminal of the specified user and the terminal of the specific user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9338393
    Abstract: An in-vehicle apparatus includes an FM radio tuner that receives FM broadcast waves of a reception frequency that is set; a FM radio controller; an LCD unit that is capable of changing a horizontal synchronous frequency corresponding to each horizontal line by varying a horizontal blanking period along the horizontal direction, without changing the numbers of effective pixels in horizontal display and vertical display, and an effective display period; a horizontal synchronous frequency setter that sets the horizontal synchronous frequency so that a minimum value of the differences between the reception frequency of the FM broadcast waves and multiplied frequencies that are integral multiples of the horizontal synchronous frequency is higher than or equal to a certain value; and a video processor that generates a video signal necessary to display at least one of a working screen and an operation screen in the LCD unit.
