An information processing apparatus which is configured to access a database in which a characteristic of a person and advertisement information are associated with each other for each one in an area group within a movement range of a moving object, and configured to control a movement of the moving object, the information processing apparatus comprising: a detection unit configured to detect a specific person that exists within a predetermined distance from the moving object; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a characteristic of the specific person detected by the detection unit; an extraction unit configured to extract, from the database, specific advertisement information about a specific area in a movement route to a destination point of the moving object based on the characteristic of the specific person acquired by the acquisition unit; and an output unit configured to output the specific advertisement information extracted by the extraction unit.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Display screen with graphical user interface

A method of displaying a document with an image. Tabstoassociated with the same document are set on a document screenof a document display screen, with one of the tabs () open. A base imageattached to the document is displayed on the tab. At the position for a comment, etc. of this base image, objects (added information) such as a comment, a patternrelated to the comment, a symboland an arroware added. These objects can be added by operating an 'add' buttonor an object select section. Also, an added object list screenindicating a list of the objects added is displayed. The added information such as a comment added to the base image can be immediately viewed in the state related to the base image.

Method of displaying document with image

The object of the present invention provides an evaluation system for evaluating accurately emission amount of environmental influence substance of fuel in a fuel supply facility for supplying stored fuel to a consumer. An evaluation system evaluates the emission amount of environmental influence substance of fuel in which the environmental properties (greenhouse gas emissions) accumulated in the process of drilling a first energy, transporting and storing, producing fuel, and supplying the fuel are taken into account. The evaluation system enables to present the environmental properties of the sold fuel to the fuel consumer and allows the fuel consumer to select, thereby promoting the reduction of emission amount of the greenhouse gas of the fuel supplier and the fuel consumer.

Evaluation system for amount of emission gases through fuel supply chain

A pointing device is placed in a through hole provided on an outer case of the portable information terminal. The terminal includes a fingerplate attached to a through hole via a hinge; an image pick-up element placed on a circuit board; a condensing lens that forms an image on an outer surface of the fingerplate on an image pick-up plane of the image pick-up element; and a light emitting device that irradiates the outer surface of the fingerplate with illumination light, and takes the image of a pattern such as a fingerprint that touches the outer surface of the fingerplate by using the image pick-up element. When the fingertip moves, the image taken by the image pick-up element changes and the pointer displayed on a display screen is moved in a direction according to the movement of the fingertip.

Pointing device and portable information terminal using the same

The prior art in this field had a display portion of electronic paper at a part of a shelf and showed a problem that the display portion and the goods were hardly co-related to each other in response to the arrangement of the goods. In view of the foregoing, plural images arranged in response to the number of stages of the shelves to be displayed are irradiated with a light source after each of the images is corrected in correspondence with the optical path length ranging from the light source to the end of each of the shelves, each of the images is guided to the end of each of the shelves by plural reflector members and then the images are displayed at the ends. In addition, each of the images is guided to the end of each of the shelves by plural reflector members and the images are displayed at the ends after plural images (either still images or animations) arranged in response to the number of stages of shelves to be displayed are irradiated by the light source and the optical path lengths ranging from the light source to the end of each of the shelves are set to be substantially the same to each other.

Shelf-like display machine and image display method

A display apparatus is provided which can display different text/image information depending on the viewing angle and the viewer, display a high reality three-dimensional image viewable from any direction and realize stereoscopic viewing without glasses or the like. The display apparatus includes a display unit having a view angle-limiting filter on its surface, a rotary mechanism to rotate the display unit and a control unit which implements control so that when the display unit, rotated by the rotary mechanism, is faced to each of plural directions, the display unit displays a different text/image content associated with the direction.

Display apparatus and image pickup apparatus

A pointing device is placed in a through hole provided on an outer case of the portable information terminal. The portable information terminal includes a fingerplate attached to a through hole via a hinge; an image pick-up element placed on a circuit board; a condensing lens that forms an image on an outer surface of the fingerplate on an image pick-up plane of the image pick-up element; and a light emitting device that irradiates the outer surface of the fingerplate with illumination light, and takes the image of a pattern such as a fingerprint of a fingertip that touches the outer surface of the fingerplate by using the image pick-up element. When the fingertip moves while touching the fingerplate, the image taken by the image pick-up element changes and the pointer displayed on a display screen is moved in a direction according to a change direction and by a distance corresponding to a quantity of change.

Housing for a storage device

It is made possible to view a high-resolution clear stereoscopic image from any direction without taking the projection timing of two-dimensional images into consideration. First and second polygonal mirrors each including mirrors arranged in a ring form around a rotation axis of a screen are disposed. An electronic projector is disposed on an extended line of the rotation axis of the screen so as to be opposed to mirror surfaces of the polygonal mirrors. The electronic projector emits concentrically arranged first and second frame image groups each including frame images arranged in a ring form. The first and second frame image groups are reflected respectively by the first and second polygonal mirrors and projected onto the rotating screen. As the screen rotates, each of the first and second image groups is projected onto the screen and displayed in order from frame image to frame image.

Stereoscopic display apparatus

A display apparatus comprises a screen which can rotate and provides a part for controlling view angle, a mirror group which comprises a plurality of mirrors arrayed in a ring form along a surface of a circular cone which sets a central axis as an axis of rotation of the screen, and a plurality of electronic projectors arranged at positions where oppose to mirror faces of the mirrors comprising the mirror group and project different image divisions representing different sides of an object to the different mirror faces, wherein each of the electronic projectors is arranged so as to project the image division to the mirror group, and each of the mirrors is arranged on optical path of optical system which the image division projected from the electronic projector is reflected on the mirror face and is projected to the screen.
