Patent number: 9619693Abstract: In an imaging device in a display system, a control unit recognizes human traits from an image of a human being that is an object to be displayed, which is obtained by photography. The image of the human being is correlated to information indicating the recognized traits and then transmitted to a digital signage device by a communication unit. In the digital signage device, the display area on an image display unit is determined in accordance with this information indicating the human traits that have been correlated to the image of the human being that is the object to be displayed, and the image of the human being that is the object to be displayed is modified so to be displayed in the determined display area, after which the modified image is displayed on the determined display area of the image display unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Taiga Murayama, Taichi Honjo
