20120056803CONTENT OUTPUT SYSTEM, OUTPUT CONTROL DEVICE AND OUTPUT CONTROL METHOD - Based on captured images obtained when an image capture device takes images in an image capture range, a change in the moving speed of one passerby or each of a plurality of passerby contained in the captured images is calculated. When there is a passerby whose moving speed is decreased in the image capture range, the passerby is paying attention to the content, and therefore content to be outputted by a content output device is switched from ordinary content to specific content. On the other hand, when only passerby who are moving at constant speed are present in the image capture range, the passerby are not paying attention to the content, and hence the content output device continues to output the ordinary content.03-08-2012

20090126300Interior-Finishing Material, and Method and Material for Coating the Same - After newly attaching an interior-finishing vinyl wall covering onto at least one of a wall, floor and ceiling of a building, or after completion of washing/renovation of the vinyl wall covering, a liquid or slurry coating material containing a titanium oxide, a layered silicate mineral, and a silver ion and/or a copper ion, is sprayed or applied onto a surface of the vinyl wall covering. Subsequently the coating material is naturally dried to form a thin transparent coating layer. In a process of renovating the vinyl wall covering, the coating layer is removed by washing with water or wiping with water to completely remove various stains. The present invention makes it possible to allow any worker, i.e., even an unskilled worker, to fully renovate an interior-finishing material, such as a vinyl wall covering, without difficulty and at low cost.05-21-2009
