Abstract:
If it is detected that a vehicle is in a travel standby state, a predetermined musical sound is generated periodically. Along with this musical sound generation, indication varying periodically synchronously with the musical sound generation period is conducted. Thus the fact that the vehicle is in a travel standby state is annunciated to the occupant visually and audibly, and therefore the occupant can viscerally understand that the vehicle is in a travel standby state. For each internal operation state of the vehicle brought about according to an instruction of operation means for making an instruction to start or stop of the vehicle, a musical sound corresponding to the internal operation state is generated for a predetermined musical sound generation time. Along with the musical sound generation, light-emitting means is controlled so that the amount of light gradually increases/decreases for a predetermined time. In such a way, annunciation friendly and easy to understand can be made as if the occupant felt that "the vehicle awakes" or "the vehicle falls asleep".

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alarming device for a vehicle allowing a driver to acknowledge certainly a failure or generation of a hazard and distinguish certainly the failure or hazard which may appear in several types. SOLUTION: Receiving signals from an outer sensor and an inner sensor, an event sensing device 1 senses the event having happened (failure or hazard). A vibrating body control device 2 emits a drive signal to vibrating body drive devices (either of 4a-4d) on the basis of the information fed from the event sensing device 1. This excites vibration of the vibrating bodies (either of 5a-5d) embedded in the seat of the vehicle. A sound source control device 3 decides the alarm sound and its volume on the basis of the information fed from the event sensing device 1, and emits to a sound source device 7 synchronously with the synchronizing signal emitted from the vibrating body control device 2. The sound source device 7 produces an alarm sound signal corresponding to the data from the sound source control device 3, and emits to a speaker 9 upon controlling the volume with the data emitted from the sound source control device 3.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inform an occupant of start or stop of a vehicle in the informing form having a sense of affinity and easily understood by the occupant. SOLUTION: A music corresponding to the respective internal action state is generated for a predetermined music generation time every internal action state of the vehicle operated in response to an instruction from an operation means for instructing at least start or stop of the vehicle. The music is generated and a light emitting means is light-controlled by gradually increasing/decreasing an amount of light within a predetermined time every internal action state of the vehicle. Namely, when the internal action state of the vehicle is informed by the auditory sense informing form and the visual sense informing form, the light emitting means is light-controlled by gradually increasing/decreasing the amount of light together with the generation of the music to carry out the informing. Thus, the start or the stop of the vehicle can be informed by the informing form having a sense of affinity just as if "the vehicle wakes up" or "the vehicle sleeps" and easily understood by the occupant.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain a head mount display system in which a video image with sensation of presence is enjoyed with high tracking performance. CONSTITUTION: An image pickup system 1 picks up an image with a wider field angle than that of a displayed image actually displayed. A wide field image signal fed to a display system 3 via a transmission line 2 is stored in a frame memory of a signal processing section 24. The signal processing section 24 segments the display image to be viewed by the user from the frame memory based on head position information of the user detected by a rotary angle sensor 23 and provides an output to a display device 21 as a display image.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make the title circuit adaptive to various input timing specifications while employing a fixed system clock by detecting an input signal representing a sampling period so as to start the arithmetic processing and stopping the operation when the operation with a specific step number is finished. CONSTITUTION:A BIC bit clock whose period is FB is inputted, a word clock SDSY and 16-bit serial data SDI for L and R channels are inputted to an S/P conversion section 11 for each sampling period FW(=1/fs). Thus, an output word clock WCO having a frequency 8 times the input sampling frequency fs is generated. When the trailing of the output word clock WCO is detected by an arithmetic control section 18, a microprogram is executed to the arithmetic section 12. When the microprogram with a prescribed step number is executed, the arithmetic section 12 is in standby for a period till the trailing of the output word clock WCO is detected next.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composite image system which enable persons at difference places to generate a composite image as if they gathered at the same place. SOLUTION: The composite image system comprises a portable telephone 1, a video telephone device 21, and a server 11 which is connected to them through a communication line. The video telephone device 21 may be a portable telephone set. The user of the portable telephone set 1 photographs himself by a CCD camera 8 and sends the image to the server 11. The server 11 puts images from the portable telephone set 1 and video telephone device 21 together and sends the composite image to them. Respective users view the composite image and send images of different looks, etc., again to the server 11, which composes and sends an image to the respective devices.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To allow the circuit to cope with the increase of a data bit number and the increase of the sampling frequency by setting a low-order bit of a feedback data to '0', and adding only high-order bits whose level is other than '0' so as to simplify the calculation of the feedback data, and to reduce the calculation time. CONSTITUTION:A 16-bit data X is divided into high-order bits D8-D15 and low- order bits D0-D7, and the high-order bit is delayed by one output sample at a 1 sample delay circuit 32, and inputted to a 1st integration circuit 30. The low-order bit is subject to addition processing in preceding by one output sample at the circuit 30 and its carry signal is used for the addition processing of the high-order bit. The result of processing of the circuit 30 is inputted to a 2nd integration circuit 44, and subject to addition processing for each of high- order and low-order bits. Adders 56, 58, 60, 62 apply 2-bit addition sequentially to the MBS of the input data, the carry signals of the circuits 30, 40 and the feedback signal. Then the high-order bit as the final result of calculation from the adder 62 is outputted as a 1 bit D/A converter circuit output Y. Moreover, the output is inverted as a 2-bit feedback signal high-order data and the low- order bit data as a fixed value '1' are inputted to the adders 56, 60.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make the title circuit adaptive to various input timing specifications while employing a fixed system clock by detecting a sampling period of an input digital data so as to generate a start signal having a frequency being N times of the sampling frequency and controlling the output timing of the digital data and a synchronizing signal based on a bit input speed. CONSTITUTION:A bit clock BIC whose period is FB is inputted, a word clock SDSY and 16-bit serial data SBI for L and R channels are inputted to an S/P conversion section 11 for each sampling period FW(=1/fs). Thus, a synchronizing signal generating section 20 detects the leading of the word clock SDSY and detects the bit number of the bit clock BIC inputted by one sampling period FW. Then an output word clock WCO having a frequency 8 times the input sampling frequency fs is generated based on the result. The processing by an arithmetic control section 18 and an arithmetic section 12 is synchronized with an internal clock phiM and executed for each trailing of the word clock WCO and 8 sets each of digital data for L and R channels are obtained in one sampling period FW.
