  • Patent number: 11036301
    Abstract: An input device includes an input unit for inputting a predetermined motion image signal, a motion detector for detecting a motion on the basis of the motion image signal inputted into the input unit, a video signal processor for outputting a predetermined video signal, and a controller. The controller controls the video signal processor so that, when a motion detector detects a first motion, the video signal processor outputs a video signal to explain a predetermined second motion to be next detected by the motion detector after the detection of the first motion to a user.

  • Publication number: 20200279633
    Abstract: A system analyzes behavior data obtained by measuring behaviors of a plurality of target persons, and based on a result of the analysis, defines a stage indicator, which is an indicator as a criterion of a plurality of stages via which a behavior as a target of habituation is aimed at step by step, and each of the plurality of stages following the stage indicator. For each pair of adjacent stages, the system identifies a gap between two stages constituting the pair. For each stage pair, the system identifies a reason/measure that is at least one of a reason for existence of the identified gap and a measure for causing a target person belonging to a lower stage to make a behavior change to shift to a higher stage, from relationship information in which a relationship between the gap and the reason/measure is defined.

  • Publication number: 20180020181
    Abstract: A video display system for a meeting includes a video information terminal device typified by a liquid crystal projector, a video display unit typified by a whiteboard, a server which stores information and a user terminal (mobile terminal) held by a member of the meeting. A host of the meeting transmits information regarding the time of the meeting, members, and contents thereof to the server. A reservation list and a participant list are displayed and updated depending on an attendance/nonattendance answer from a member. A diagram or letters written on the whiteboard during the meeting are captured by the video information terminal device, inverted in brightness, stored in a memory, and displayed as a video image. At the end of the meeting, video data is stored as a file. When the meeting is resumed, the stored file is reproduced, developed in the memory, and displayed as a video image.

  • Patent number: 9341638
    Abstract: An automatic analyzer enables users to perform working steps easily and reliably by switching a display screen irrespective of a skill level of the user. The automatic analyzer, which determines a consistency of a test item, includes a display/input section to display a plurality of working steps relating to necessary work flow for measurement. The display/input section is adapted to selectively present a maximized workflow display and a reduced workflow display. The maximized workflow display shows a series of operations and works, and further shows a plurality of operations and works in an order that the plurality of operations and works are processed. In a reduced display of the work flow, the reduced workflow display shows details of a specific operation or work, and a position of the specific operation or work in a sequence that the entire series of operations and works are processed.

  • Patent number: 8902162
    Abstract: A screen is provided on a housing in such a manner that the screen protrudes toward its nearer side, and is inclined so that the nearer side becomes lower. This screen displays thereon a first hierarchy menu for indicating an arrangement of genre pictures, a second hierarchy menu for indicating an arrangement of commodity pictures, and a map image for indicating a map of the sales counters. A user brings his or her hand tip nearer to this screen. This operation allows a double-ring pointer to be displayed at a position which corresponds to the spatial position or direction of the user's hand tip relative to the screen. On this screen, the user is permitted to change the position of this double-ring pointer by performing a gesture of changing the spatial position or direction of the user's hand tip.
