Audio-visual system and method for controlling the same

An audio-visual system may include a housing comprising an open upper end and a storage space, an audio-visual device installed inside the housing and exposable through the open upper end, and a lifting device configured to expose or store the audio-visual device inside the housing through the open upper end. The audio-visual device may include a display, a speaker, and a processor configured to control the audio-visual system to operate in a first mode for outputting media art content while the display is stored in the housing according to a first event, operate in a second mode for outputting audio content through the speaker while part of the display is exposed through the open upper end according to a second event, and operate in a third mode for outputting a visual content while the entire display is exposed through the open upper end according to a third event.

MAINBOARD AND DISPLAY PANEL
20200285270 · 2020-09-10 ·

A mainboard for a display panel has at least one socket for receiving a cable. The socket is rotatable between first and second orientations. This enables the socket to be oriented to face sideways if the display panel is mounted on a wall and to face rearwards if the display panel is not mounted on a wall.

ARTIFICIAL WINDOW SYSTEM

In general, the present disclosure is directed to an artificial window system that can simulate the user experience of a traditional window in environments where exterior walls are unavailable or other constraints make traditional windows impractical. In an embodiment, an artificial window consistent with the present disclosure includes a window panel, a panel driver, and a camera device. The camera device captures a plurality of image frames representative of an outdoor environment and provides the same to the panel driver. A controller of the panel driver sends the image frames as a video signal to cause the window panel to visually output the same. The window panel may further include light panels, and the controller may extract light characteristics from the captured plurality of image frames to send signals to the light panels to cause the light panels to mimic outdoor lighting conditions.

ROLLABLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND ROLLABLE DEVICE

A rollable display device includes a rollable display and a first protection film disposed on a first surface of the rollable display. The first protection film extends beyond a first display edge of the rollable display. The rollable display device further includes a second protection film disposed on a second surface of the rollable display facing the first surface of the rollable display. The second protection film extends beyond the first display edge of the rollable display. The rollable display device additionally includes a first adhesive layer disposed between the rollable display and the first protection film. The rollable display device further includes second adhesive layer disposed between the rollable display and the second protection film, and a first adhesion part disposed adjacent to the first display edge of the rollable display and between the first protection film and the second protection film.

INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a determination unit (2020) and a notification unit (2040). The determination unit (2020) determines whether a field of view of a second camera is correct, on the basis of a first captured image (40), a second captured image (50), and relationship information (information indicating the relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of a first camera and the field of view of the second camera). In a case in which the field of view of the second camera is not correct, the notification unit (2040) notifies that the field of view of the second camera is not correct. The first camera is provided in a head-mounted display worn by a person. The second camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY
20200285054 · 2020-09-10 ·

Provided is a head-up display in which the characteristics for dissipating heat generated by a light source are excellent. This head-up display emits display light of a display image projected by a display device to a transmission/reflection part of the vehicle to allow a viewer to see a virtual image of the display image. The display device comprises: a substrate that has a quadrilateral heat dissipation plate having corners; and a quadrilateral light source that is provided on the heat dissipation plate, and that has corners. The heat dissipation plate is disposed such that the corners of the heat dissipation plate 61 are rotated relative to the corners of the light source.

REMOTE CONTROL HAVING HOTKEYS WITH DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNED FUNCTIONS

An intelligent television system provides an operating system and an application framework for controlling a user interface to handle user input events from a handheld remote control. The remote control includes color keys that are configured for triggering different functions in different application panels displayed on the television.
