Abstract: A combined monitor and display assembly at an infant location, and at a caregiver location. The apparatus includes a light box having a semi-reflective mirror behind which is a film transparency having a photographic image of the infant's mother. When a light bulb in the box is energized to illuminate the transparency, the image of the mother becomes visible to the infant. There is a sound-activated switching device connected between the bulb and a power source. The switching device, when activated by the infant's crying, remains activated for a predetermined period to energize the bulb and illuminate the transparency. There is a record playback unit having a stored voice message recorded by the mother, the unit being rendered operative when the bulb is energized. When the infant cries, it is presented with an image of its mother and hears her comforting message.

Abstract: A virtual learning system environment which provides for progressive education of children, at their own pace, through enhancement in both language arts (e.g. spelling, reading comprehension) and physical skills (interactive prompts). The system of this invention includes a microphone for sensing an audible word or command, a video camera for sensing bodily movement, and means for effecting a computer generated response to said audible word or command, or said bodily movement, wherein said response includes both graphical depiction of the letters of said audible word or command, an object image corresponding to bodily movement or said audible word or command, and an action or object related to said bodily movement or said audible word or command, or any combination thereof, so as to effect a progressive learning or teaching experience. The system also provides for direction to a pathway alternative to said system based upon a series of links, similar to the Encarta Encyclopedia, to web pages and the like, where it directs the child to additional sources of information concerning the one or more aspects of the learning exercise. In addition, the system allows for a live or computer mediator to monitor the progress of the learning experience.

Abstract: A computer system for converting a colored picture composed of color regions distributed throughout the picture into a line drawing in which each of these regions is delineated to define a zone. The zone bears a symbol which identifies the color to be applied thereto. The system includes a computer whose video display terminal is coupled to a printer to print out the displayed image. Fed into the computer is a digital image of the colored picture to be converted, the image being processed to produce the line drawing which is displayed on the terminal and transferred by the printer to a paper sheet. By applying to the respective zones of the line drawing on the sheet the colors identified by the symbols, the user is then able to recreate the colored picture.

Abstract translation: 一种计算机系统，用于将由整个图像分布的彩色区域组成的彩色图像转换成线图，其中描绘了这些区域中的每一个以定义区域。 区域带有一个标识要应用于其上的颜色的符号。 该系统包括其视频显示终端耦合到打印机以打印所显示的图像的计算机。 进入计算机的是要转换的彩色图像的数字图像，该图像被处理以产生显示在终端上并由打印机传送到纸张上的线条图。 通过将由符号识别的颜色应用于在纸上绘制的线的各个区域，则用户能够重新创建彩色图像。
