20130169678 | MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes: an imaging unit for capturing a map image; a processing unit for acquiring information for a specific image corresponding to the map image based on information included in the map image captured by the imaging unit; and an image projecting unit for projecting the specific image to a projection area. | 2013-07-04 |
20130169679 | VEHICLE IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM AND CORRECTION METHOD THEREOF - A vehicle image display system and correction method thereof, applicable to a vehicle to perform vehicle information display, comprising following steps, fetch a front road image; obtain positions of a lane marking and an obstacle in front based on said front road image; after correction, calculate display information of said positions of said lane markings and said obstacles in front, to be overlapped with images of an actual traffic lane; utilize a motor control unit to adjust focal length or inclination angle of a projector unit, or inclination angle of a viewable panel, to produce overlap error correction values to correct said display information. Said projector unit projects large area display information overlapped entirely with images of said actual traffic lane onto said viewable panel or windshield, so that a driver can obtain vehicle driving information, to raise vehicle driving safety. | 2013-07-04 |
20130169680 | SOCIAL SYSTEM AND METHOD USED FOR BRINGING VIRTUAL SOCIAL NETWORK INTO REAL LIFE - The present invention is related to a social system and process used for bringing virtual social network into real life, which is allowed for gathering and analyzing a social message of at least one interlocutor from virtual social network so as to generate at least one recommended topic, allowing a user to talk with the interlocutor through the utilization of the recommended topic, and then capturing and analyzing at least one speech and behavior and/or physiological response of the interlocutor during talking so as to generate an emotion state of the interlocutor. The user is allowed to determine whether the interlocutor is interested in the recommended topic through the emotion state of interlocutor. Thus, it is possible to bring the social message on virtual network into real life, so as to increase communication topics between persons in real life. | 2013-07-04 |
20130169681 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING BUILDING INFORMATION - Described herein are systems and methods for presenting building information. In overview, the technologies described herein provide relationships between Building Information Modeling (BIM) data (which includes building schematics defined in terms of standardized three dimensional models) and Building Management System (BMS) data (which includes data indicative of the operation of building components such as HVAC components and the like). Some embodiments use relationships between these forms of data thereby to assist technicians in identifying the physical location of particular pieces of equipment, for example in the context of performing inspections and/or maintenance. In some cases this includes the provision of 2D and/or 3D maps to portable devices, these maps including the location of equipment defined both in BIM and BMS data. In some cases, augmented reality technology is applied thereby to provide richer access to positional information. | 2013-07-04 |
