Abstract
When a choice is made between several items offered in a first window on a display screen, a second window is displayed in front of the first window. An image of an watcher who is watching the display screen is captured to detect watcher's eye position relative to the display screen. When the watcher's eye position moves, the second window is displaced to uncover the first window in such a way that the second window moves upward in response to a downward movement of the eye position, downward in response to an upward movement of the eye position, rightward in response to a leftward movement of the eye position or leftward in response to a rightward movement of the eye position.
Claims25
A window display system for displaying at least a main window and a sub window on a display screen, wherein said main window offers a choice of several items, and said sub window is displayed in front of said main window when the choice is made in said main window, to show information on the chosen item, said window display system comprising:
- an imaging device for capturing an image of a watcher who is watching said display screen;
- a position detecting device for detecting a watching position of the watcher to said display screen by analyzing the image of the watcher;
- a position change detecting device for detecting a direction and a distance of a parallel movement of said watching position relative to said display screen;
- and
- a window displacing device for displacing said sub window from the front of said main window based on the movement of said watching position as detected by said position change detection device.
A window display system for displaying at least a main window and a sub window on a display screen, wherein said main window offers a choice of several items, and said sub window is displayed in front of said main window when the choice is made in said main window, to show information on the chosen item, said window display system comprising:
- a position change detection device for detecting a change in position of said display screen;
- and
- a window displacing device for displacing said sub window from the front of said main window based on the detected change in position of said display screen.
A window display system for displaying at least a main window and a sub window on a display screen, wherein said main window offers a choice of several items, and said sub window is displayed in front of said main window when the choice is made in said main window, to show information on the chosen item, said window display system comprising:
- an input device for inputting a direction to displace said sub window;
- and
- a window displacing device for displacing said sub window from the front of said main window in the input direction.
