Abstract: A detection unit detects an entering object that will enter at least a projection space. When an entering object has been detected by a first detection unit, a controller initiates safety processing, the safety processing being milder than safety processing that is initiated when an error has occurred in the projection display apparatus itself. For example, when an entering object has been detected, the controller controls components of the projection display apparatus so as to switch to the projection of a black image and so as to maintain the state of the projection display apparatus, excluding the switching.

Abstract: A camera for capturing an object that will enter a projection space is attached to the casing of a projection display apparatus. The camera is installed at the position in which, when the camera faces the projection plane, at least one of the back direction and the side direction of the casing is included within the filed of view of the camera. For example, the cameras are installed on both side edges of the casing so as to face each other.

Abstract: A file is prepared by bringing patient ID and a photograph of affected parts into correspondence with each other. An image pickup unit takes an image of bar code. An ID extraction unit extracts an ID from the image taken of the bar codes. A communication unit acquires entity information corresponding to the ID, from an external database. The IDs and entity information are displayed to a user. The user acquires an affected-part image from the image pickup unit. An affected-part file generation unit generates an affected-part file where ID and a photograph of an affected part are brought into correspondence with each other. The communication unit transmits the affected-part file to an external file database on patients.
