An information provision device, information provision method, and a non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the information provision method. Each of the information provision device and the information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member to display a for-driver information image indicating for-driver information to be provided to a driver of a mobile object in a prescribed display area, and displaying at a first point where a normal for-driver information image is displayed a priority for-driver information image in place of the normal for-driver information image, where the displaying includes displaying the normal for-driver information image at a second point different from the first point for at least some of a period during which the priority for-driver information image is displayed at the first point.

Information provision device, information provision method, and recording medium storing information provision program for a vehicle display

An apparatus includes an apparatus body and a battery pack removable from the apparatus body. Each of the apparatus body and the battery pack includes a memory unit configured to store a use permission flag written after authentications for a pair of the apparatus body and the battery pack through near field communication with a portable terminal, and a control unit configured to permit energization when the use permission flag of the memory unit is ON.

Apparatus, apparatus authentication management system and apparatus authentication method

An information providing system provides delivery information using identification information of an object equipped with a wireless communication function. The information providing system includes a registering unit that registers in advance first link information linking the identification information of the object to the delivery information; a generating unit that generates second link information linking the identification information of the object to delivery information different from the delivery information of the first link information, based on the identification information of the object and identification information of a plurality of information terminals, acquired by communication with the information terminals, which can communicate with the object; and an information providing unit that delivers the delivery information linked by the second link information.

Information providing system, information terminal and information providing server, to update delivery information based on behavioral trends of plural terminals

An information display device of an embodiment includes: a storage unit that stores the image data in association with information of the image data; a retrieval condition receiving unit that receives an input of a retrieval condition; a retrieval unit that retrieves the image data from the storage unit according to the received retrieval condition; a display control unit that displays an entire image representing an entire range in which the retrieved image data is distributed on a client terminal; and an operation receiving unit that receives an operation of an input unit by a user on a screen on which the entire image is displayed. The display control unit extracts the image data included in a range represented by a locus formed by an operation of the input unit, and displays the extracted image data on the client terminal together with the entire image.

Information display device, information display system, and computer program product

Provided are a control panel or a display as well as an image processing apparatus and an electronic calculating apparatus using the electronic device or the display, the electronic device and the display each using a light transmissive solar cell for electric power generation so as to allow a solar cell part and a display part to be disposed to overlap an input part so that a larger electric power than the conventional cases can be generated without increasing the size of the whole operation panel and the whole display. An electronic device of the present invention includes: a display part capable of electrically and magnetically changing a display region and displaying of a display content displayed in the display region; a solar cell part that transmits light in a visible light region; and an input part that detects whether or not any part of the display region is manipulated, and that transmits light in a visible light region. The solar cell part and the input part are disposed on a display surface side of the display part in such a manner to form layers. An electric power generated by the solar cell part allows the electronic device to change what is displayed in the display part and detect a manipulation of the input part.

Electronic device, display, image processing apparatus and electronic calculating apparatus

In a system for providing an illegal use research service for image data, the image data received from a terminal apparatus is registered as a research subject, a research condition for research whether or not the image data being registered is illegally used by a Web site on the network is set, image data that are identical or similar to the image data being the research subject from a web site on the network are searched for based on a feature amount and the research condition, and a search result is informed as a research report to the research client using said terminal apparatus.

System, apparatus, and method for providing illegal use research service for image data, and system, apparatus, and method for providing proper use research service for image data

An input control device and an image forming apparatus capable of providing an easy-to-use operating environment even for a user having difficulties operating such conventional devices and apparatuses due to his/her height, color vision deficiency, weak vision, use of a wheelchair, and the like is disclosed. In the input control device, based on the detected distance between an instruction item on the display and an operation direction element (such as a user's finger), the display mode of the instruction item is changed (by, for example, changing positions, colors, and combinations). Further, as the operation direction element approaches, the size of the instruction item on the display becomes larger, thereby improving the operability especially for a user with color vision deficiency or weak vision.

Input control device and image forming apparatus

An information managing apparatus for managing an information display medium is disclosed that includes a reversible display unit that is configured to reversibly display information in visible form and a reversible display storage unit that is configured to store display content data corresponding to the information displayed at the reversible display unit. The apparatus further includes a scanner unit that is configured to read a display of the reversible display unit and acquire display read data of the read display; a reader unit that is configured to acquire first display content data stored in the reversible display storage unit; and a control unit that is configured to compare the display read data acquired by the scanner unit and the first display content data acquired by the reader unit, extract a difference between the display read data and the first display content data based on the comparison, and output the extracted difference.
