Shimizu‘s patented information display system recognizes user position and adjusts content display accordingly. When within a certain range from a wall, the system displays content from floor to wall, with a separate operation input area on the wall for user interaction, ensuring clarity and user-specific interaction.

Interactive information display system with user position recognition
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11954241B2) describes an innovative information display system that includes a position recognition unit, a display unit, a determination unit, and a display control unit. The system is designed to display a content-display-frame on a floor surface corresponding to the user's position and determine if the user is within a predetermined range from a wall surface. When the user is within this range, the content-display-frame spans from the floor to the wall, displaying an operation input area on the wall surface for user interaction. This unique feature allows for the distinction of user-specific input areas within the display frame.
Furthermore, the system includes an operation detection unit to detect user operations based on input received, allowing the display control unit to adjust the display mode accordingly. In cases where multiple users are detected, individual areas within the display frame are allocated for each user, with the option for a shared area if users perform operations indicating sharing. Additionally, the system can display machine-readable codes on the wall surface for communication with terminal devices, transmitting relevant information upon code reading. The display control unit can also show user-specific content-display-frames alongside common information for multiple users in different display areas on the wall surface, enhancing user interaction and information sharing within the system. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive information display system and method that revolutionizes user interaction and content sharing in a physical space.
