A pointer remotely points a display screen of a large screen display device. The display screen is picked up by a monitor camera. An image processing unit extracts a feature of the pointer used for pointing based on the resulting image signal to identify the position of the pointing point and the pointer based on the feature. A computer generates information on an object to be displayed at a position pointed by the pointer. The generated information is displayed on a display device (CRT display device or large screen display device) assigned to the pointer. Even when a plurality of pointers are used, the information on the object to be displayed pointed by the pointer is properly displayed.

Information presentation apparatus and information display apparatus

Each character string information obtained based on each information inputted by the CRT touch input device and the speech input device respectively is integrated by the input control unit and the memory. The input information analyzing unit analyses the integrated character string information. The output information generating unit generates presentation information corresponding to the demand information obtained by the analysis and outputs this presentation information to the display device. Since the input information from each input device is converted into character string information and it is integrated together and is then analyzed, input information is not restricted by each input device and each input device can be used in a free combination when information is inputted.

Information processing apparatus using pointing input and speech input

An alarm system in a plant for outputting a plurality of alarms with respect to devices constituting the plant and monitor information with respect to the devices. In the system, there is provided a unit for storing a table for correspondingly relating a plurality of alarm items to suppression reason items indicating that the display of the alarms can be suppressed. A generated alarm item and a generated event are specified by receiving the plurality of alarms and monitor information. A decision is made by reference to the table as to whether the generated alarm suppression reason item exists in the monitor information, the kind of generated alarm, and the generated event for each generated alarm item. An instruction is given to a display unit to suppress the display of alarms in which a decision is made that the suppression reason item exists.
