A position detection device for detecting positions of a non-emitter and an emitter in a detection area includes one or more reflective members disposed around the detection area, illumination light sources to emit light toward the reflective member, light receiving sensors to receive light from the reflective member and light from the light emitter, and a control device to control the illumination light sources and the light emitter. Based on previous detection statuses of the non-light emitter and the light emitter, the control device sets a time ratio of a time of a non-light emitter detection mode to a time of a light emitter detection mode, and sets timings of the non-light emitter detection mode and the light emitter detection mode.

Position detection device, image display device and image display system

A coordinate detecting apparatus includes: a plurality of light-emitting and -receiving units arranged along an outer edge of the coordinate input area, the plurality of light-emitting and -receiving units each including a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part; at least one retroreflective member arranged along the outer edge of the coordinate input area; and a control unit to control the plurality of light-emitting and -receiving units to detect coordinates of a position of input made with a designation input unit in a first detection state or a second detection state.

Coordinate detecting apparatus, system, and coordinate detecting method

A projector comprising: an image acquiring unit acquiring projection images; an identification information acquiring unit acquiring identification information of a target device among source devices that provide the projections images; a projecting unit that generates a composite image collectively including the acquired projection images, and projects the composite image on a projection plane; a position coordinates detecting unit detecting position coordinates of a pointing object that operates on the plane; a detecting unit that detects a projection region of a projection image provided by the target device, by using the acquired identification information; a converting unit that, when the position coordinates of the pointing object is in the projection region of the projection image, converts the position coordinates of the pointing object to operating information on a coordinate system of the target device; and a transmitting unit that transmits the operating information to the target device.

Projector, interactive system, and interactive control method

An image projection apparatus includes an image receiver; an image processor; a projection unit to project a projection image on a projection screen; a coordinate calculator to calculate coordinates of a point in the projection image when the point is identified by a coordinate input device; an interactive communication unit to perform communication related to the interactive input-output capability with the coordinate input device, and the external apparatus; an operation information converter to convert the calculated coordinates of the point and an operation information of the coordinate input device to an operation information for the image projection apparatus and the external apparatus; a distance calculator to calculate distance between the coordinate input device and the projection screen; and an input-action-reproducing determination unit to determine whether movement of coordinates of the point on the projection screen identified by the coordinate input device is reproduced depending on the calculated distance.

Image projection apparatus, and system employing interactive input-output capability

A document management apparatus delivers a to-be-delivered document to a delivery destination and collects information about browsing history of the document. The document management apparatus includes: a delivery-pattern determining unit; a delivery-information generating unit; a document delivery unit that delivers the document by transmitting the information of the delivery pattern to a network address of the delivery destination; and a browsing-history management unit that acquires information about browsing history. The delivery-pattern determining unit, when the type of the device is a type not adapted to a function of collecting information about browsing history, determines that a pattern for delivering a program for implementing collection of the information about browsing history together with the document as the delivery pattern. Otherwise, the delivery-information generating unit generates associating information that associates the document with the program such that the program is to be executed when the document is browsed.

Document management apparatus and document management system

Firmware of subsystems included in an information processing apparatus is divided according to functions so as to include data areas containing first version information. Second version information indicating a version of the entire firmware based on the first version information of the data areas. The information processing apparatus includes: an update reception unit in a first subsystem that receives a request for updating firmware and firmware updating data containing third version information; a determination unit in a second subsystem that compares the second version information with the third version information to determine which of the data areas needs to be updated; and a partial update execution unit that requests the first subsystem to transmit a data portion of the firmware updating data corresponding to the data area determined to need to be updated, and stores the data portion in a storage unit.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit to store data set including version information; an acquiring unit to acquire update-use data set including version information; a providing unit to provide the version information read from the storage unit; a updating management unit to determine whether updating of the data set stored in the storage unit is required, when determined that updating is required based on the acquired version information and the provided version information, updating the data set stored in the storage unit using the update-use data set; and a updating completion determination unit to determine whether the updating of data set by the updating management unit is completed, when determined that the updating of the data set is not completed correctly, the providing unit provides specific version information indicating the updating is not completed correctly instead of the version information stored in the storage unit.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program for updating a data set

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus having a function to cooperatively output, via a cooperative image processing apparatus, document data, including a data sending unit that sends to the cooperative image processing apparatus the document data to be output, for which the total limited number of output times is set, with output setting information including an allocated number of output times for the document data individually allocated for the cooperative image processing apparatus; and a number updating unit that updates the total limited number of output times set for the document data based on the allocated number of output times by subtracting the allocated number of output times from the total limited number of output times, when the data sending unit sends the document data with the output setting information to the cooperative image processing apparatus.
