COMPUTER DESK
The present invention provides a computer desk, including a desktop and a desktop supplementary board connected to the desktop using a turning device. The desktop is provided with an accommodating gap, and a display is mounted on the turning device. The desktop supplementary board, relative to the desktop, has a first position and a second position. When at the first position, the desktop supplementary board is in the accommodating gap, and the display stands upright on the desktop. When at the second position, the display is in the accommodating gap for ease of flat use, and the desktop supplementary board is located below the desktop.
Image projection device
An image projection device which can correctly discern content of touch operation when a user performs various kinds of touch operation on an image projected on a projection screen is provided. An imaging unit is adjusted to come into focus on the projection screen. An image data extracting unit extracts image data in which a finger or the like exists and in which the finger or the like is brought into focus in image data obtained by the imaging unit. An operation determining unit determines content of operation performed with the finger or the like, on the basis of the image data extracted by the image data extracting unit. An input control unit recognizes content of an input instruction corresponding to the operation performed with the finger or the like, on the basis of data relating to the content of the operation performed with the finger or the like, position data of the finger or the like, and reference data for specifying a position and a size of the image projected on the projection screen, and controls a projection unit in accordance with the recognized content of the input instruction.
POP-UP DISPLAY
An apparatus drives and guides movement of a display assembly that includes a display unit. At least one track extends along at least one side of the display assembly and defines a path along which the display assembly is driven. A plurality of pins extend from the display assembly to the at least one track. At least one constant force spring has at one end a coiled part that is rotatably coupled to the display assembly, and an opposing end fastened to a fixed mounting location, and an uncoiled part extending between the coiled part and the opposing end. The at least one constant force spring is configured to drive the display assembly from a lowered position to a raised position while the plurality of pins travels along the at least one track and guide movement of the display assembly.
Image Projection Device
An image projection device which can correctly discern content of touch operation when a user performs various kinds of touch operation on an image projected on a projection screen is provided. An imaging unit is configured to image the image projected on the projection screen and acquire image data. A reference data generating unit is configured to generate reference data specifying a position and a size of the image projected on the projection. An image data extracting unit is configured to extract image data in which a finger or a pointer with which a user performs operation on the image projected on the projection screen exists is focused in the image data obtained by the imaging unit. A position data generating unit is configured to generate position data for specifying a position of the finger or the pointer in the imaging range of the imaging unit.
Display positioning apparatus and method
An apparatus for positioning an electronic display can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position.
Emissive surfaces and workspaces method and apparatus
A conferencing arrangement and method for sharing information within a conference space, the arrangement comprising a common presentation surface positioned within the conference space, the common presentation surface including a presentation surface area, a common presentation surface driver, a system processor linked to the driver, the system processor receiving information content and presenting the information content via the common presentation surface and a user interface device including a device display screen and a device processor, the device processor programmed to provide a dynamic interface via the device display screen that is usable to create an arbitrary number of distinct sharing spaces on the presentation surface area for sharing information content and to automatically modify the interface to include features for controlling content presented in the sharing spaces as the number of distinct sharing spaces is altered.
Computerized desk with a touch screen
A computerized desk with a touch screen including a base unit, a pair of telescopic front legs attached to a bottom surface of the base unit, a pair of hollow back legs attached to the bottom surface of the base unit, and a pair of apertures disposed through a front surface of one of the pairs of back legs. A touch screen is disposed within a top surface of the base unit, a first central processing unit is attached to the bottom surface of the base unit, at least one USB port is disposed on the base unit, and an audio port is disposed on the base unit. A second central processing unit disposed proximal to the first central processing unit is in wireless communication with the first central processing unit.
