Abstract

To provide a display control system in which a terminal device and a display device operate in tandem. The display control system comprises a terminal device 10 having an image-capture unit, a display device 50 for displaying video, and a control device 20 for controlling the display device 50. The terminal device 10 or the control device 20 identifies a capture range in video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of an image captured by the image-capture unit. The control device 50 controls the display state of the video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of the identified capture range. This configuration allows for interactive special effects such as making an object in the capture range of the terminal device 10 disappear from the video or making objects in the capture range of the terminal device 10 appear in the video.

Abstract

[Problem] To improve the degree of freedom of dramatization in which the afterimage effect of water droplets is utilized. [Solution] While water droplets W are intermittently produced by a water droplet production device 10, light is beamed onto the water droplets W along the travel path of the water droplets W by an illumination device 20. An illumination device with which it is possible, when each cycle by which light is beamed onto the water droplets W is split by time into a plurality of sections, to control the light emission state for each of the sections, is employed as the illumination device 20. It is thereby made possible to, e.g., cause a single droplet to shine in multiple colors or freely change the size or movement of afterimages of the water droplets viewed by a viewer.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a light emission control system suitable for a production in which light-emitting devices interact with each other. [Solution] A light emission control system (100) comprises a plurality of light-emitting devices (10) and a management device (50) that can wirelessly communicate with the plurality of light-emitting devices (10). The management device comprises: a position detection unit (41) that detects position information of the light-emitting devices; and a target value calculation unit (31c) that calculates, for each light-emitting device, a target value for a light-emitting state, such as a flashing cycle or a flashing phase, on the basis of the position information of the light-emitting device. Each light-emitting device stores a default value for the light-emitting state, and if a prescribed state change is detected by a sensor of the light-emitting device, the light-emitting device returns the light-emitting state to the default value and notifies the management device. If the management device has received notification from a first light-emitting device that the light-emitting state was returned to the default value, the management device calculates a target value for the first light-emitting device and a second light-emitting device other than the first light-emitting device, and transmits the calculated target value to the respective light-emitting devices. The respective light-emitting devices control the light-emitting state thereof so as to become the target value.

Abstract

Without carrying out an analysis process of a photographic image, to identify a type of a subject which a terminal device has photographed. Based on data of a timetable format, a specified display device 40 displays the video of the subject of a specified type for a specified display time. A terminal device 10 specifies a photography location and a photography time by a camera 14. Based on the data of a timetable format, an assessment is made as to whether the photography location belongs to the same area as the display device 40 and whether the photography time matches the display time of the video of the specified type subject upon the display device. If it is assessed that said match is true, it is determined that the video of the specified type subject has been photographed by the terminal device.

Abstract

[Problem] To more effectively perform staging using light and sound. [Solution] A staging apparatus 1 is provided with a ball 2 in which a gas is contained, and an internal device 200 including a sound output unit 270 and a light-emitting unit 240 provided in the ball 2. In the internal device 200, sound is outputted from the sound output unit 270 when an operation of the ball 2 is sensed. The staging apparatus 1 preferably receives, from an external control device or the like, a synchronization signal for synchronizing the timing at which sound is output, and outputs sound at a timing that is in accordance with the synchronization signal.

Abstract

[Problem] Without carrying out an analysis process of a photographic image, to identify a type of a subject which a terminal device has photographed. [Solution] On the basis of subject appearance information which specifies a display device 40 whereupon a subject video is to be displayed, a type of a subject to be displayed upon the display device, and a display time of the video of the subject of said type, a management device 20 causes the specified display device 40 to display the video of the subject of the specified type for the specified display time. A terminal device 10 specifies a photography location and a photography time at which photography has been taken by a photography unit 14. With the present system, on the basis of the subject appearance information, an assessment is made as to whether the photography location of a given terminal device 10 belongs to the same area as the display device 40 and whether the photography time of the terminal device matches the display time of the video of the subject of the specified type upon the display device. If it is assessed that said match is true, it is determined that the video of the subject of the specified type has been photographed by the terminal device.

The plurality of light emitting devices receive, via a data reception unit, the light emission data transmitted from the control system. The plurality of light emitting devices store in memory the light emission data received via the data reception unit. The control system transmits a light emission start command to each of the plurality of light emitting devices. The plurality of light emitting devices receive the light emission start command transmitted from the control system. The plurality of light emitting devices receive the light emission start command and subsequently read the light emission data from the memory, and on the basis of the light emission data, cause a light emission part to emit light.

Abstract

[Problem] To make it possible to perform more-accurate cropping without relying on the skill of the user when cropping out a subject from image information in which the image of the subject has been captured. [Solution] The present invention is characterized in comprising: an image camera (15) for generating the image of a subject by capturing the image; a distance camera (16) for measuring the distance to a target object displayed in various sections in a case in which the image is a visual range that includes the subject and a background, and generating distance information in which a correlation is established between the distance and the coordinates of the visual range on the image; a coordinates converter (101) for converting the coordinates of the distance information to the coordinates on the image of the subject and generating converted distance information; and an image-cropping unit (102) for extracting, from among the post-conversion coordinates included in the converted distance information, coordinates for which the correlated distance satisfies a predetermined condition, separating the region specified by the extracted coordinates and other regions in the image of the subject, and outputting the result.

Abstract

Provided is a digital signage system capable of measuring the depth of interest of a customer and promoting sales to the customer. In the digital signage system, by way of a database (22) storing the amount of time during which a customer has removed a hanger out from a rack, and a time update unit (24) for updating and adding together the cumulative total thereof, it is possible to measure the depth of interest of a customer. By analyzing information of a clothing article that the customer has picked up and displaying a video related to the clothing article on a monitor in the vicinity of the customer, it is possible to heighten the purchase motivation of the customer.
