A document camera system includes a page-turning device, an image pickup unit, a specification unit, a recognition unit, a determination unit and a notification unit. The page-turning device turns pages of a book. The image pickup unit picks up an image of each turned page. The specification unit specifies a page number portion in the image picked up by the image pickup unit. The recognition unit recognizes characters in the page number portion specified by the specification unit to identify a page number. The determination unit determines correctness of the order of the page numbers identified by the recognition unit. The notification unit notifies a user of an error when the determination unit determines that the order of the page numbers is incorrect.
PORTABLY SUSPENDED RETRACTABLE SHELF
There is disclosed a portably suspended retractable shelf for storing furniture-side items that includes a horizontal platform having an inner portion and an outer portion. In various embodiments, the inner portion is adapted to be slidably captured between an upper cushion and a lower supporting structure. At least one of a projector insert rotationally adjustable to a plurality of orientations and the following upward-facing compartments is disposed on the outer portion of the horizontal platform and is accessible to a user on the furniture: a collapsible basin, a hanging flexible pocket, and a foldable box. A cutout hole is configured to hold the projector insert or the compartments in a suspended configuration through the shelf. A downward-facing sliding drawer compartment is mounted and/or supported underneath the outer portion of the shelf.

Laptop shade and platform system
A shade and platform device configured to support and partially enclose and shelter a laptop, notebook computer, or other electronic or non-electronic item from sun exposure, allowing users to use their laptop, notebook computer or other electronic or non-electronic item outdoors while reducing screen glare and risk of the sheltered item overheating due to direct sun exposure. The platform component may contain functionality that enables it to fold into a carrying case for the shade, awning, canopy, or hood component. The shade, awning, canopy, or hood component may be collapsed, optionally detached from the platform component, and folded so that it can be compactly secured and stored within the platform case. Furthermore, the platform case may include an attachment element for a stand, such as a tripod, on which the platform case may be supported.
Media Article Support Device
A media article support device for use by a user positioned in a bed includes a first rod, a coupler, and a clamping unit. The coupler is engaged to a first end of the first rod and can engage a bedrail of a bed or a surface above the bed. The clamping unit is engaged to a second end of the first rod and can selectively engage a media article, such as a book, electronic device, and the like. The coupler engages the bedrail of the bed or the surface above the bed so that the clamping unit is positionable proximate to a head of a user lying or sitting in the bed. The media article engaged to the clamping unit is positioned to be viewed by the user.
