  • Patent number: 9723163
    Abstract: There is provided a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus including a displaying device, cause the processor to execute processes of receiving a designation of the group of images to be displayed on the displaying device, judging whether arrangement information representing an arranging direction of a group of images when displayed on the displaying device is associated with the designated group of images, displaying the designated group of images on the displaying device such that: (1) when the designated group of images is associated with the arrangement information, the designated group of images are displayed with the arranging direction represented by the arrangement information, and (2) when the designated group of images is not associated with the arrangement information, the designated group of images are displayed with a predetermined default arranging direction.

  • Patent number: 9292173
    Abstract: Dividing or splitting data (e.g., images) of a file may be performed by allowing a user to preview or otherwise view the intended division prior to the splitting of the images in the file into separate files. The division may be shown in a display by visually distinguishing between the designated groups. Visual distinctions may include color filtering, use of a division mark, use of grouping frames, labeling and the like and/or combinations thereof. By allowing a user to view the intended groupings, a user may further cancel designated groupings prior to splitting the images into the separate files.

  • Patent number: 7959304
    Abstract: A projector which is configured to project an image by means of a projection light onto a surface approximately parallel, or a surface approximately perpendicular, to an installation surface. According to aspects of the disclosure, the projector may include a first reflecting surface which reflects the projection light toward the approximately parallel surface; a second reflecting surface which reflects the projection light toward the approximately perpendicular surface; and a reflecting surface switching section which can switchably place the first reflecting surface and the second reflecting surface in an optical path of the projection light.

  • Publication number: 20090027628
    Abstract: An image by means of a projection light is projected without any distortion both onto a surface approximately parallel to an installation surface, and onto a surface approximately perpendicular to the installation surface. In a case in which reflecting surfaces are held in a horizontal condition, and a reflecting surface of a reflecting mirror on which a projection light falls is formed into a planar surface, individual light rays fall on positions on a table surface. As these positions are evenly spaced, an image projected onto the table surface becomes a non-distorted image. On the other hand, in a case in which the surfaces are held in an inclined condition, and a surface on which the projection light falls is formed into a curved surface, individual light rays caused to emerge from a light modulation device at even intervals fall on a wall surface. Incidence positions of the individual light rays being evenly spaced, an image projected onto the wall surface becomes the non-distorted image.
