  • Patent number: 10466948
    Abstract: An image display device includes: a projection unit that projects and displays an image onto a screen; a superimposed image drawing unit that generates a superimposed image which is to be displayed to be superimposed on the image; a browser storage unit that stores a browser screen for controlling a display position of the superimposed image from a mobile terminal; a transmission unit that transmits the browser screen to the mobile terminal; a reception unit that receives display position information of the superimposed image obtained by an operation on the browser screen displayed on the mobile terminal; and a control unit that displays the superimposed image, which is generated by the superimposed image drawing unit, so as to be superimposed on the image projected by the projection unit on the basis of the received display position information of the superimposed image.

  • Patent number: 7522151
    Abstract: A component in a horizontal direction (the x-axis component) of a movement amount first acquired after a pointing device is reset and a component in a vertical direction (the y-axis component) are compared, a movement input is regarded as provided only in the horizontal direction in case the absolute value of the x-axis component is larger than the absolute value of the y-axis component, a movement input is regarded as provided only in the vertical direction in case the absolute value of the y-axis component is larger than the absolute value of the x-axis component, a movement input is regarded as provided in the same direction unless the ratio of components of movement inputs is greatly changed subsequently, and continuous movement inputs in the same direction are facilitated.

  • Patent number: 7237907
    Abstract: A system for adjusting keystoning in a projector may include sensing using an imaging device at least two boundaries defining a projection screen and determining a transformation to adjust the keystoning of an image projected from the projector. The image may be modified from the projector in accordance with the transformation and projecting the modified image from the projector, wherein the imaging device and the projector are maintained in a fixed relationship with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 7125122
    Abstract: An image projection system that corrects an image to be projected onto a projection surface by sensing at least a portion of that surface, and based upon the sensed portion, determining and applying a corrective transformation to the image, after which the corrected image is projected onto the projection surface.

  • Publication number: 20060007115
    Abstract: In a display apparatus for presentation including an image display device 30 that allows for moving a selection marker across a plurality of menu items arranged in vertical and horizontal directions and displayed on a screen 1 in accordance with received angular velocity information, a menu item to which the selection marker should be moved is determined in accordance with the number of cycles of angular velocity sampling during which the move distance of the pointing device obtained for every sampling cycle from the angular velocity information exceeds a predetermined value continuously. This improved the inconvenience to use with a conventional pointing device in which a distance by which an object should be moved on the display screen is proportional to the entire distance over which the pointing device was moved, calculated from angular velocity; thus, the operator has to tilt the remote controller incorporating a gyroscope to a large extent to move the object by a long distance on the screen.
