  • Publication number: 20250088614
    Abstract: A projector in an installation information acquisition method is installed in a real space, has a changeable projection direction, and projects a projection image based on a virtual image. The virtual image is an image in a case where an image arranged at a display position in a virtual space is viewed from a virtual installation position. The method includes first acquisition processing for acquiring positional information of three or more first adjustment points in the virtual space, projection processing for projecting, by the projector, an index image onto the real space, second acquisition processing for acquiring angle information of the projection direction with respect to a reference direction in a state where the index image matches three or more second adjustment points respectively corresponding to the three or more first adjustment points, and third acquisition processing for acquiring installation information based on the positional information and the angle information.

  • Publication number: 20250045039
    Abstract: A changed part identification unit (27) compares original data that is design data (41) before being changed with changed data is the design data (41) after being changed in terms of each piece of design information that is a constituent of each of the original data and the changed data. The changed part identification unit (27) thus identifies a changed part in a control program (51) generated from the original data. A change reflection unit (28) updates the control program (51) by setting a new program component generated from the changed data for the changed part identified by the changed part identification unit (27).

  • Patent number: 10872440
    Abstract: An image signal processing device receives image signals from source devices and outputs image signals via a plurality of communication paths. The image signal processing device includes a plurality of compression circuits, a transmission circuit and a path/compression-rate setting circuit. The plurality of compression circuits compress image signals to be transmitted via the plurality of communication paths. The transmission circuit outputs the image signals compressed. The path/compression-rate setting circuit, based on each data amount of the image signals received, determines a communication path for transmitting a part or the whole of each of the image signal, and sets a common compression rate for all of the plurality of compression circuits. The path/compression-rate setting circuit divides an image signal having a relatively large data amount, and assigns a part of the divided image signal to a communication path for transmitting an image signal having a relatively small data amount.
