A system for providing patients with dementia or other cognitive impairment with instructions and reminders of tasks to enable them to live with minimum third party oversight. The system provides for a continuous display of viewable indicia of at least one of text or images to provide the patient messages. The messages may be generated by a remote third party or software running on a computer. Employing the system, a remote user such as the child of a patient can provide instruction and reminders to the patient allowing them to live with minimal supervision.

A moving image display apparatus includes a display unit which sequentially displays an image pattern in the form of a moving image on a display screen, a storage unit which stores area sectional information and display format information, the area sectional information defines predetermined divided areas corresponding to the image pattern among a plurality of divided areas into which the display screen is divided, and the display format information defines display formats of the divided areas defined by the area sectional information in a time sequential manner, and a display control unit which controls to display the predetermined divided areas corresponding to the image pattern in accordance with the display formats defined by the display format information.

There is provided a display apparatus which generates an image signal having a scanning frequency twice as high as an input image signal without increasing the processing load on a signal driving unit and displays the image signal on a display panel.

In the display apparatus comprising a timing controller for extracting a vertical synchronizing signal and a horizontal synchronizing signal from an input image signal, a display panel having a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of signal lines perpendicularly crossing the scan lines, for performing a display, in the case where a scanning voltage is applied to a scan line, in accordance with a signal voltage applied to a signal line based on an image signal, a scan driving unit for sequentially applying a scanning voltage to each of the scan lines based on the extracted vertical synchronizing signal and horizontal synchronizing signal, and a signal driving unit for applying a signal voltage to each of the signal lines in accordance with the image signal, the signal driving unit includes a converting unit for converting the input image signal into an image signal corresponding to the display panel having twice as many scan lines, and applies a signal voltage to the signal lines based on the image signal converted by the converting unit.

A visual effects system includes a first display, a second display, and a graphics generation system. The graphics generation system is configured to provide graphics data to the first display and the second display to define a combined image. The graphics generation system includes a processing system and a memory, the memory encoded with instructions configured to be executed by the processing system to cause the first display and the second display to display a first image on the first display based on the graphics data and a user location, a user gaze orientation, or both, and display a second image on the second display based on the graphics data and the user location, the user gaze orientation, or both.

A control unit of a display control device, which controls an illumination unit capable of forming a display with light on a steering wheel in a vehicle comprising a driving assistance function, controls rendering by first display elements formed on a central portion of a steering wheel, a second display element formed on connecting portions and a third display element formed on an outer edge, when there is a change in a driving assistance level. The control unit causes a driver to have a first sense in which the driving responsibility of a vehicle is transitioning from the front part of the vehicle in front of the steering wheel to the steering wheel, and a second sense in which the driving responsibility of the vehicle is transitioning from the steering wheel to the front part of the vehicle, thereby presenting change information regarding the driving assistance level.
