Provided is a display system, display method, and computer program product that allow a user to not only check the sizes of clothing but also check whether the user is wearing the clothing well even if the user does not actually try on the clothing.

A display system is used to sell clothing, and represents a mannequin and clothing in three-dimensional shapes using computer graphics, forms a three-dimensional shape representing a state in which the mannequin is wearing the clothing, by combining the three-dimensional shapes of the mannequin and the clothing, and displays the formed three-dimensional shape. When forming the three-dimensional shape representing the state in which the mannequin is wearing the clothing, the display system represents deformation of the clothing by inputting physical properties of the clothing.

A photographic mirror assembly includes a mirror which comprises a plurality of panels that are movably coupled together thereby facilitating a user to see themselves from a plurality of angles. An image capturing unit is integrated into the mirror to capture images of the user. The image capturing unit can overlay various eyeglasses onto the user to facilitate the user to view themselves wearing various eyeglasses prior to purchasing eyeglasses. An actuator is coupled to the mirror spacing the mirror an adjustable distance from the vertical support surface. A remote control is in wireless communication with the image capturing unit and the actuator to facilitate the user to remotely control operation of the image capturing unit and the actuator.

A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus may include a display configured to operate as at least one of a screen and a mirror, a photographing unit configured to generate a photographed image in which a subject present in a display direction of the display is photographed, and a processor configured to control the display in order for a first area of the display operate as a screen displaying part of the photographed image and a second area other than the first area to operate as a mirror.

A clothes positioning device includes a storage unit, a matching unit, a display unit and a positioning unit. The storage unit stores a clothes parameter and a placement position of clothes placed inside a body for placing the clothes, and figure data of a predetermined wearer; the matching unit is connected to the storage unit and determines, according to the figure data of a current wearer acquired from the storage unit and the clothes parameter stored in the storage unit, clothes matching the figure data of current wearer among the clothes in the body as recommended clothes; the positioning unit is connected to the storage unit and determines a position of the clothes selected by the wearer; the display unit is connected to the matching unit, and synthesizes dressing effect image according to clothes parameter of recommended clothes and the figure data of current wearer and displays dressing effect image.

A computer implemented method for automatic presentation of delayed video. During normal operation real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage. When a delay trigger is issued, the system either freezes the frame presented in that instance or stores a time indicator. The system then monitors delay time and, when the delay time is reached, the system starts fetching frames from the memory, starting either from the frame immediately following the frozen frame or from the frame that was stored at the time indicator, and sends these frames to the digital screen for presentation. The system then monitors delay period and, when the delay period arrive, the system reverts to normal mode wherein real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage.

According to an embodiment, a retrieving apparatus includes a memory having computer executable components stored therein; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to obtain a first query including a relative expression; determine an evaluation method for retrieval targets according to the first query; and evaluate the retrieval targets with the determined evaluation method.

A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus may include a display configured to operate as at least one of a screen and a mirror, a photographing unit configured to generate a photographed image in which a subject present in a display direction of the display is photographed, and a processor configured to control the display in order for a first area of the display operate as a screen displaying part of the photographed image and a second area other than the first area to operate as a mirror.
