  • Patent number: 10248227
    Abstract: A wearable terminal device includes a display section configured to display a display image and a processing section. The processing section performs processing for displaying any one kind of information among information of a first information type to information of an N-th information type in respective display regions of first to M-th display regions obtained by dividing the display image, when the display image is switched from a first display image to a second display image, changes the size of at least an i-th display region among the first to M-th display regions, in the first display image, performs processing for displaying information of a j-th information type in the i-th display region at a first information verbosity, and, in the second display image, performs processing for displaying the information of the j-th information type in the i-th display region, the size of which is changed, at a second information verbosity different from the first information verbosity.

  • Patent number: 10054906
    Abstract: A wearable terminal apparatus includes an enclosure, a dial provided in the enclosure and having on-dial markings, a first timepiece hand, a second timepiece hand, a third timepiece hand, a processing section that controls rotation of the first timepiece hand, the second timepiece hand, and the third timepiece hand, and a measured value acquisition section that acquires a measured value. The processing section controls placement of the timepiece hands among the on-dial markings in such a way that the first timepiece hand is placed in a position corresponding to a lower limit value of the measured value, the second timepiece hand is placed in a position corresponding to an upper limit value of the measured value, and the third timepiece hand is placed in a position corresponding to the measured value.

  • Patent number: 9389493
    Abstract: A projector, that projects an image, includes a light source, a liquid crystal panel that modulates light output from the light source and forms an image in response to input image data, a projection optical device that projects the image formed by the liquid crystal panel, a control device that controls the liquid crystal panel, and an acceleration sensor that detects a position of the projector. The control device includes a determination unit that determines whether or not the position detected by the acceleration sensor is a predetermined position, and a correction unit that corrects an orientation of the image data so that a longer side of the image data may coincide with a longer side of an image formation area of the liquid crystal panel if the determination unit determines that the detected position is the predetermined position.
