  • Patent number: 10137313
    Abstract: A mirror function display apparatus includes an imager that captures an image of a user, a display that displays the captured image of the user captured by the imager, a light source that emits light including treatment light toward a front side of the display, the treatment light producing a treatment effect, and a controller that controls the display, the light source, and the imager. The controller controls the light source and the imager to capture a first captured image of the user when the treatment light is emitted, and a second captured image of the user when the treatment light is not emitted. The controller corrects, in terms of a hue, the first captured image based on the second captured image so as to cause the display to display a corrected first captured image obtained by correcting the first captured image.

  • Publication number: 20180313689
    Abstract: A received-light amount measurement system is provided. The received-light amount measurement system includes: a first device that is wearable and obtains a first amount of received light; and a controller that, obtains first information on the first amount of received light from the first device. When the first amount of received light is less than or equal to a first specified value, the controller calculates interpolation information for interpolating the first amount of received light during a time period in which the first amount of received light is less than or equal to the first specified value, and determines the interpolation information as an interpolated amount of received light obtained by the first device.

  • Patent number: 10015856
    Abstract: A light treatment apparatus is an example of a light-emitting apparatus including a white light source, a blue light source, and a controller. The controller performs (i) constant light emission control for causing each of the white light source and the blue light source to emit light at constant brightness, and (ii) light reduction control which is performed after the constant light emission control so as to cause each of the white light source and the blue light source to reduce light intensity. The controller causes the blue light source to start reducing light intensity before causing the white light source to start reducing light intensity, and turns on the blue light source at the same time as or before turning on the white light source.

  • Patent number: 9974972
    Abstract: A lighting system includes: an illumination light source which irradiates a user with illumination light; a user interface which receives a user operation; a controller which controls an amount of light of the illumination light source and an irradiation period of the illumination light source; and a storage which stores characteristic information having a negative correlation between the amount of light and the irradiation period. When the user interface receives a user operation which specifies a value of one of the amount of light and the irradiation period, the controller determines a value of the other according to the characteristic information and controls the illumination light source according to the specified value of the one of the amount of light and the irradiation period and the determined value of the other.
