  • Publication number: 20190238790
    Abstract: A projector includes a control unit that, when an operation unit receives an operation of selecting an uppermost menu item belonging to an uppermost layer, displays a middle menu item belonging to a middle layer, and, when the operation unit receives an operation of selecting the middle menu item, displays a lowermost menu item belonging to a lowermost layer. While the lowermost menu item is displayed, when the operation unit receives a short-press operation, the control unit displays the middle menu item, and, while the lowermost menu item is displayed, when the operation unit receives a long-press operation, the control unit displays the uppermost menu item.

  • Publication number: 20190150100
    Abstract: A high-frequency signal processing apparatus and a wireless communication apparatus can achieve a decrease in power consumption. For example, when an indicated power level to a high-frequency power amplifier is equal to or greater than a second reference value, envelope tracking is performed by causing a source voltage control circuit to control a high-speed DCDC converter using a detection result of an envelope detecting circuit and causing a bias control circuit to indicate a fixed bias value. The source voltage control circuit and the bias control circuit indicate a source voltage and a bias value decreasing in proportion to a decrease in the indicated power level when the indicated power level is in a range of the second reference value to the first reference value, and indicate a fixed source voltage and a fixed bias value when the indicated power level is less than the first reference value.

  • Publication number: 20180350122
    Abstract: A display device includes a detection device which detects an indicator and a position of the indicator and specifies whether the indicator is a first indicator or a second indicator; and a processor which sets operation modes of the first indicator and the second indicator. The operation modes include a drawing mode for drawing an image based on the position of the indicator and a mouse mode for performing an operation. When the first indicator is set to the drawing mode and the second indicator is set to the mouse mode, the processor generates an image object based on a position of the first indicator and supplies information indicating a position of the second indicator to an image supply device which is external to the display device.

  • Patent number: 10095357
    Abstract: A position detection device includes a detection section adapted to detect an operation to a screen, a detection control section adapted to identify the pointing element with which the operation is performed, and associate the operation with the pointing element, and a processing section adapted to process the operation associated with the pointing element out of the operations. In the case in which a first operation and a second operation, which is performed within a predetermined period of time before the first operation, with a single pointing element are detected, and a coordinate of the first operation and a coordinate of the second operation are located within a predetermined range, the detection control section treats the coordinate of the first operation as the same coordinate as the coordinate of the second operation. Further, the detection control section changes the predetermined range in accordance with the detection position in the screen.

  • Patent number: 10078378
    Abstract: A position detection device includes a detection section adapted to detect an operation to a screen, a detection control section adapted to discriminate the pointing element with which the operation is performed, and then associate the operation with the pointing element, and a processing section adapted to process the operation associated with the pointing element out of the operations. In the case in which a first operation and a second operation, which is performed within a predetermined period of time before the first operation, with a single pointing element are detected, and a coordinate of the first operation and a coordinate of the second operation are located within a predetermined range, the detection control section determines the coordinate of the first operation as the same coordinate as the coordinate of the second operation. Further, the detection control section changes the predetermined range in accordance with the pointing element.

  • Patent number: 10068360
    Abstract: A display device includes: an acquisition unit which acquires a first image from an image supply device; a detection unit which specifies a position of the indicator and whether the indicator is a first indicator or a second indicator; a generation unit which generates a second image based on the specified position and generates a third image by superimposing the second image on the first image; a display unit which displays the third image; a designation unit which designates either the generation unit or the image supply device as a supply destination of information indicating a position of the second indicator; and a control unit which supplies the information indicating the position of the indicator to the generation unit if the detected indicator is the first indicator, and supplies the information indicating the position of the indicator to the supply destination if the detected indicator is the second indicator.
