A projector device includes a region designating unit that designates a specific region with respect to an image projected, a determining unit that determines a length as a reference for enlargement of an image portion defined within the region designated by the region designating unit, an image enlarging unit that enlarges the image portion in the region based on the length as the reference determined by the determining unit and a size of an entire image, and an enlarged image projecting unit that projects the enlarged image enlarged by the image enlarging unit.

An image displaying apparatus stores plural image data and displays one of the image data, which image data represent a growing plant (animal) or represent a series of motions of an animal. The apparatus further stores plural element data for growing the plant (animal). When one of the element data is selected, another image data of the plant (animal) is displayed in place of the previously displayed imaged data to show how the plant (animal) grew up thank to the selected element data. The apparatus is provided with a sensor for detecting motion of a user. Detecting the motion of the user, the apparatus displays new image data representing a motion of the animal in place of the previously displayed image data to show how the animal reacts to the user's motion.

A data search apparatus is capable of searching for a face image, character data corresponding to the face image, and/or a combination of the face data and character data, based only on part of the data which compose the face image. In such case, one or more part data, such as eyes, nose, etc. composing the face image is designated by a key input unit, and image data including part data which coincides with the designated part data, is read out from memory. The found face image is then displayed on a display unit, along with character data corresponding thereto.

An object image display device which changes and displays the image of an object such as an animal or a building. A display displays an object image including a combination of patterns of the parts of the object. The pattern of at least part of the object image displayed on the display is successively changed to a different part pattern of the same at least part in response to the keying operation of keys. Thus, the display displays the object image such that the at least part of the object image successively moves. The user is able to set a shape to which the object image is changed and the timing of changing the object image. Each time the object image is changed, a voice corresponding to the aspect of change of the object image is output sequentially to the outside. Externally inputting a voice into the device changes at least a part of the object image displayed at present in accordance with the contents of the input voice.

Object image display devices

An image displaying apparatus, in which a plurality of image data of parts are stored in a ROM (read only memory) which parts are representative of elements of a portrait such as eyes, eyebrows, a nose, hair, an outline of a face and so on, image data of the parts selected by operation of a key input unit are read out from the ROM and are combined on a display unit of a dot matrix type, whereby a desired portrait is displayed thereon. A display position on the display unit where each of the image data combined into the above desired portrait is to be displayed is previously determined. The display position can be changed by operation of up/down keys or left/right keys provided in the key input unit. Using these keys, a wide variety of portraits which are rich in expression may be composed.

A montage composing apparatus is provided for composing a desired picture of a human face without any complicated manipulations. The apparatus requires no operation for selecting and combining part patterns to compose the picture of a human face. Several sets of part numbers of patterns which composes a picture of a human face, are previously stored in a basic face ROM. One of set of part numbers is selected and stored in a RAM. Patterns corresponding to the part numbers stored in the RAM are read out from a pattern ROM and are combined in a composing memory to compose a picture of a human face. The composed picture of a human face is displayed on a display unit. When one of the patterns composing the picture of a human face displayed on the display unit is required to be replaced with another pattern, the part number of the pattern to be replaced is registered to the RAM. A pattern corresponding to the registered part number is read out from the pattern ROM, and combined in the composing memory to compose a picture of a human face with another pattern replacing the original pattern.

An image data processor, for use in a device which plays a battle game, a congeniality divination game, etc., includes a designating unit which is operated to designate respective parts of objects in order to display those object images on a display. A determining unit determines superiority or inferiority between the respective displayed object images on the basis of scores corresponding to part images constituting the respective displayed object images. The respective object images are changed depending on the results of the determination and the resulting object images are then displayed on the display. When the designating unit designates any part of the object, a score corresponding to that portion is read out, and data on the appropriate object image is displayed on the display depending on the read out score. When the designating unit designates the respective parts of the object, the display displays a first object image composed of a combination of the part images corresponding to the respective parts of the object and a second object image congenial to the first object image.
