  • Publication number: 20240155192
    Abstract: A control device includes: an obtainer that obtains content and first type information indicating a type of the content; a determiner that performs type determination processing on the content obtained by obtainer, to obtain second type information indicating a type of the content; and a generator that generates and outputs control information for increasing intensity of a presentation effect to be applied at a time of presentation of the content when the first type information and the second type information match, compared to when the first type information and the second type information do not match.

  • Patent number: 11776489
    Abstract: A control device that controls a liquid crystal display device, the control device includes: an obtainer that obtains a first video signal; a determiner that determines a first backlight value as a reference luminance of a backlight of the liquid crystal display device, using a first luminance characteristic of the first video signal; a tone map processor that performs tone mapping on the first video signal based on the first backlight value and a peak luminance displayable by the liquid crystal display device, and outputs a second video signal obtained through the tone mapping; and a generator that generates a control signal for local dimming control on the liquid crystal display device based on the first backlight value and the second video signal, and outputs the control signal to the liquid crystal display device.

  • Patent number: 10174646
    Abstract: A valve opening and closing timing control apparatus includes: a driving side rotor synchronously rotating with a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine; a driven side rotor disposed coaxially with a rotary axis of the driving side rotor and synchronously rotating with a camshaft; a connecting bolt disposed coaxially with the rotary axis, and connecting the driven side rotor to the camshaft; and a position determination unit performing positioning between the driven side rotor and the camshaft, or in a case where an intermediate member is provided between the driven side rotor and the camshaft, between the driven side rotor and the intermediate member, or between the camshaft and the intermediate member, wherein the position determination unit includes an engaging pin, first and second hole portions, and a deformation absorbing unit.
