Optical devices and cognitive prosthetics based on novel components for enhanced human vision, selective video/television display, digital processing and/or unique image analysis to modify the image that a user sees and significantly improve the perception of that user are disclosed. What the user sees is responsive to specific perceptual and informational needs of the user in real time. Devices from the parent patents are herein made both more useful in practical day-to-day use and are more widely applicable to improving the ability of a user to perceive visual stimuli.

A helmet with a sports camera comprises a body and a picture recording module which is detachably mounted on the body. The picture recording module includes an outer shell and a camera disposed in the outer shell. The camera is electrically connected to a control system; the control system is connected to a power module; the control system is further electrically connected to an LED indicator and an operating button; in use, through controlling the operating button, a user can take photos or record a video. Advantages of the helmet with a sports camera are summarized as follows. 1. The helmet and the camera are integrated, which facilitates the photographing of sceneries. 2. LED indicators and operation buttons on the helmet can control the start-up, shooting, or recording of the camera, and the micoUSB data interface can be used for charging, data copying, or connected to a PC camera. 3. An external vehicle-mounted display can be provided, which operates to real-time show the shot pictures or sceneries for users to browse through wireless communication technology.

A wake-up control device includes a detector and a wake-up unit. When an apparatus is in a power-saving state in which power consumption is lower than power consumption in a normal state, the detector detects a hand or finger approaching an operation unit operated in order to perform a wake-up operation of changing a state of the apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state. In the case where the apparatus is in the power-saving state, if the detector detects a hand or finger approaching the operation unit, even when the operation unit has not been operated, the wake-up unit performs a wake-up operation of changing the state of the apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state.

The present invention is directed to an interactive image device and interactive method thereof for a traditional photo frame or a fameless painting, the device comprises a frame body provided with a fastening position, a display surface for display an image, an effect unit for generate effects, a trigger unit and a circuit module to enable or disable the effect unit in responding the operation of the trigger unit by a user. The user is able to get different interactive effect feedbacks by inserting the trigger unit to the fastening position each time, thus the present invention can easily integrate the displayed image with interactive effects and interact with users by novel operating methods.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

The information display system includes a printing apparatus and a display terminal. The display terminal's control unit includes a visual recognition determination unit, an image-data extraction unit, a link status determination unit, a link destination information acquisition unit, and a display control unit. The link status determination unit determines whether a page of printed matter visually recognized by a user through lenses contains a representation associated with link destination information. If the link status determination unit determines the presence of the representation associated with the link destination information, the link destination information acquisition unit acquires the link destination information based on the image data extracted by the image-data extraction unit. The display control unit performs control operations to display on the lenses the link destination information acquired by the link destination information acquisition unit so that the user can visually recognize the link destination information.

Embodiments described herein may allow for dynamic image capture based on biometric data. An example device may include an image-capture device and a control system configured to: cause the image-capture device to capture video data; receive biometric data, which may be generated synchronously with the video data, from one or more sensors; while the image-capture device is capturing video data, control at least one image-capture setting of the image capture device based, at least in part, on the biometric data. The at least one image-capture setting affects the captured video data.

An imaging device comprising: an imaging sensor; a processor including a magnification processing section which magnifies a part of an image captured by the imaging sensor to generate a magnified image, a display device to display an image, and a transmission circuit to transmit an image to an external device, wherein the display device displays the magnified image generated by the magnification processing section of the processor, and wherein the transmission circuit transmits a non-magnified image not subjected to magnification processing by the magnification processing section of the processor.

A motion picture camera arrangement comprises a motion picture camera and a display device, wherein the motion picture camera has an image sensor for taking images at a variable frame rate and wherein the display device displays the taken images at a settable display rate. A method of operating the motion picture camera arrangement comprises the steps of: selecting a frame rate; determining a setting value for the display rate of the display device, wherein the setting value corresponds, in dependence on the selected frame rate, either to the selected frame rate or to a product or quotient of the selected frame rate and a whole-number multiplier or divisor; operating the image sensor at the selected frame rate; and operating the display device using the determined setting value for the display rate.

A device control apparatus (mobile equipment) wirelessly receives specification information related to a specifications of a device from the device when a first connection with the device is established using the short distance wireless communication, performs settings related to a process to be executed in the device depending on the specifications of the device on the basis of the specification information, and executes a process of the settings, which depend on the specifications of the device, in the device when a second connection with the device is established using the short distance wireless communication.
