20200210038 | ROBOT EYE LAMP CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS AND TERMINAL DEVICE USING THE SAME - The present disclosure provides a robot eye lamp control method as well as an apparatus and a terminal device using the same. The method includes: loading a simulation image corresponding to an cut shape of the eye lamp of the robot onto a display interface of a terminal device remotely connected with the robot; detecting a color setting instruction issued to each color block area in the simulation image by a user, and generating combined parameter information comprising each color value in response to having received a color confirmation instruction issued by the user, and transmitting the combined parameter information to the robot so that the robot performs a light control on the eye lamp based on the combined parameter information. The present disclosure guarantees that the robot will respond to an interactive instruction only when the light display effect and the actual demand of the user matches. | 2020-07-02 |
20200210039 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING COVER MEMBER - A display device includes a display member configured to display an image in a first direction and a cover member on the display member. The cover member includes a flexible member including a front part defining a front plane perpendicular to the first direction, and a first side part connected to a first side of the front part and defining a first side plane different from the front plane, and a rigid member partially overlapping the flexible member and on the front part. | 2020-07-02 |
20200210040 | CONTENT DISPLAY DEVICE, CONTENT DISPLAY METHOD AND PROGRAM - A content display device includes: a display unit for displaying a content in a displayable area; a position detecting unit for detecting a touch position; a determination unit for determining whether or not the detected touch position is on the displayed content; and, a content movement control unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the detected touch position is on the displayed content while part of the content resides outside the displayable area of the display unit, performs a control so as to move and display the content in such a manner that an entire content is displayed within the displayable area. | 2020-07-02 |
