| 20090041009 | IP TELEPHONE TERMINAL, IP TELEPHONE SYSTEM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An IP telephone terminal outputs a call request for communication with a prescribed terminal and, if it is determined that connection failed, records the input voice. Thereafter, the IP telephone terminal determines that the prescribed telephone terminal has reached a state connectable through IP network, outputs a call request for communication with the prescribed terminal and if connection is determined to be established, transmits the recorded voice to the prescribed terminal. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090128716 | PROJECTOR AND METHOD FOR PROJECTING IMAGE - A projector includes: a laser beam generator configured to emit a laser beam according to an image signal; a beam splitter configured to split the laser beam into a first laser beam toward the first projection plane and a second laser beam toward the second projection plane; a scanning unit, disposed between the laser beam generator and the beam splitter, configured to scan the laser beam from the laser beam generator toward the beam splitter; a light receiver configured to receive reflected light of the first laser beam; a computation portion configured to compute positional information indicating a position of an obstacle located in an optical path of the first laser beam based on a light receiving result by the light receiver; and a display control portion configured to change the image signal so that a pointer is displayed in the image based on the positional information. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090190099 | PROJECTOR EMITTING LASER LIGHT OF MULTIPLE COLORS AND OPTICAL AXIS ADJUSTING METHOD FOR THE PROJECTOR - A first light output unit integrally has a first light source and a first prism, a second light output unit integrally has a second light source and a second prism, and a third light output unit integrally has a third light source and a third prism. A first surface of the first prism and a second surface of the second prism are adhered together by an adhesive with a first film located therebetween, and first film passes green laser light and reflects blue laser light. A third surface of the second prism and a fourth surface of the third prism are adhered together by an adhesive with a second film located therebetween, and second film passes the green laser light and the blue laser light, and reflects red laser light. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090237622 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - When a position detector detects that the position of a spot on a projection plane designates a non-projection region, the level of a driving signal of a laser is corrected. Specifically, the correlation between the quantity of laser light detected by a light-receiving portion and the level of the driving signal of the laser in accordance with prescribed data is detected. Then, the characteristic value of the laser indicated by the detected correlation is compared with the characteristic value at room temperature stored beforehand to indicate the correlation between the quantity of light emitted by the laser at room temperature and the level of the driving signal. Then, based on the comparison result, the level of the driving signal of the laser in accordance with image data is corrected. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100006740 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING IMAGE - An image display device is provided, by which variations in drive sensitivity of a scan mirror is corrected. Processing executed by a CPU in a laser projector includes the steps of: driving a scanner mirror in a vertical direction; allowing at least one of a green laser and red/blue lasers to emit light; calculating stay time in a light-receiving region in a photoreceptor; comparing the calculated stay time with ideal stay time T | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100231870 | LASER PROJECTOR - A laser projector is provided. A laser light source is configured to emit laser light. A scanning section is configured to scan a projection surface in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with the laser light emitted from the laser light source, thereby forming an image on the projection surface. A generating section is configured to generate a pulse signal. A driving section is configured to reciprocate the scanning section in the horizontal direction in accordance with the pulse signal generated by the generating section. An adjusting section is configured to adjust a pulse pattern of the pulse signal generated by the generating section so as to change a scanning angle range of the scanning section in the horizontal direction. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100253618 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN IMAGE - A projector producing an imaginary input plane with high operability is provided. A projector according to an embodiment projects a VUI screen picture onto a desk, and projects a main projection screen picture to a wall. The projector includes a light receiving element. The light receiving element is arranged in a position where light emitted toward the desk (VUI screen picture) and reflected (or scattered) by an object near the desk enters. The projector calculates a position of the object based on light sensing timing by the light receiving element and light scan positions at various points in time. The projector changes a projected screen picture when it determines that object is simultaneously in contact with a plurality of portions of the VUI screen picture and at least one of contact positions moves. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110058109 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM STORED THEREIN - A projector is provided which divides and projects a single image onto two different projection surfaces and appropriately performs virtual user interface through one projection surface. The projector projects a VUI screen image on a desk and projects a main projected screen image on a wall. The projector includes a light-receiving element. The light-receiving element is installed at a position that receives light emitted to the desk (the projection surface of the VUI screen image) and reflected (or scattered) by an object in the vicinity of the desk. The projector calculates a position of the object based on a light detection timing of the light-receiving element and a scanning position of light at each time. The projector changes a projected image based on the calculated position. The projector displays a designated region of the VUI screen image (for example, a region including the position of the object or an icon display region or a region surrounding an icon) to be brightened. | 03-10-2011 |
