| 20090177302 | SENSOR INFORMATION OBTAINING APPARATUS, SENSOR DEVICE, INFORMATION PRESENTING APPARATUS, MOBILE INFORMATION APPARATUS, SENSOR CONTROL METHOD, SENSOR PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PRESENTING METHOD - Disclosed is a sensor information obtaining apparatus that includes a plurality of sensors each configured to obtain positional information thereof, and a sensor position control unit configured to control positions of the sensors to be moved based on distribution of data obtained by the sensors and distribution of positions of the sensors. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090232333 | AUDIO OUTPUT APPARATUS AND VIBRATOR - An audio output apparatus is provided. The audio output apparatus includes: a vibration member, a vibrator, a vibrator positioning unit, and a vibrator-depth positioning unit. The vibration member vibrates to output a sound. The vibrator is in contact with the vibration member and detachably attached thereto to allow the vibration member to vibrate in response to an input audio signal. The vibrator positioning unit controls a contact position between the vibrator and the vibration member. The vibrator-depth positioning unit adjusts a position of the vibrator in the direction of being pressed against the vibration member and brought into contact with the vibration member. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090268929 | VOICE OUTPUT DEVICE AND METHOD, PROGRAM, AND ROOM - The present invention relates to a sound output device, method and program, and room capable of producing sounds from individual parts in a wide range of a vibrating member by appropriately vibrating the parts. A vibrating member | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100195200 | SCREEN, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - The present invention relates to a screen, a control method, a program, and a recording medium that can provide audio and video at an optimal position for a user. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100198426 | PARTITION, CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A partition, a control device and method, a program, and a recording medium that can enhance the acoustic effect. Partitions are set in a room beforehand. The partitions are movable along a guide provided in a ceiling. In the room, furniture and a speaker are set. When sound from the speaker is reflected by the furniture and the reflected sound is given to a user, the acoustic effect is lessened. Accordingly, the partitions are moved in front of the furniture. Further, the partitions are moved so as to be symmetrically arranged with respect to the speaker. The movement of the partitions can produce an acoustic space in which the reflected sound is uniform. The present invention is applicable to a partition that enhances the acoustic effect. | 08-05-2010 |
