A content display device includes a content signal input unit that receives a content signal; a display unit that displays content included in the content signal, a sensor that detects a presence/absence of a viewer in a predetermined range; and a reproduction position storing unit that stores reproduction position information indicating a reproduction position of the content. When the sensor detects that a viewer leaves, and then returns to the predetermined range, the display unit returns to a reproduction position, indicated by the reproduction position information, and displays the content.

There is provided an input unit adapted for non-contact input manipulation, which permits a user to smoothly accomplish an intended input manipulation. The input unit includes: a position detecting portion for detecting a position of a manipulating object such as a user's hand manipulating the input unit; a position change detecting portion for detecting a change in the position of a point on the manipulating object based on a detection output from the position detecting portion, the point being the closest to the position detecting portion; and an image display section. The position change detecting portion detects the change in the position of the point closest to the position detecting portion in a predetermined area. The image display section changes the display image according to a detection output from the position change detecting portion.

An information processing apparatus includes a playback controller and a storage unit. The playback controller reads per-disc or per-title identification information in the form of a media ID recorded onto a disc, and then executes content playback selection processing or determines a playback processing mode according to bit information included in the media ID. The storage unit stores a program that causes the processing of the playback controller to be executed. By thus using the media ID, provided services, such as the content authorized for playback, can be modified.

A heating device includes an illuminating unit that applies laser light towards a strip-like illumination area formed along a direction crossing a direction of movement of a recording medium; and a reflecting member that surrounds the illumination area, the reflecting member reflecting again reflected light from the illumination area. The reflecting member has protruding reflecting surfaces that protrude continuously towards the recording medium along a widthwise direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the illumination area, the protruding reflecting surfaces being disposed side by side in the longitudinal direction of the illumination area. The protruding reflecting surfaces are positioned at substantially equal distances from the illumination area along the widthwise direction of the illumination area, and changed so that an entire or a portion of a cross-sectional shape along the longitudinal direction of the illumination area is curved or inclined.

Disclosed is an image display device capable of recognizing a hand of a user and predefining an operating region. Image recognition means recognizes the position of a hand of the user. Operating region setup means predefines the operating region, on an imaging region plane of imaging means and around a position on which the user's hand is projected, for the purpose of enabling the user to issue instructions to the image display device. When the position on which the user's hand is projected moves and comes close to the periphery of the operating region, the operating region setup means moves the operating region in the direction of the movement of the position on which the user's hand is projected. Further, the image recognition means recognizes a hand-waving motion of the user, whereas the operating region setup means sets the size of the operating region in accordance with the magnitude of the user's hand-waving motion. Consequently, the image display device provides increased ease of operation and makes it possible to define the operating region in accordance with a user's intention without imposing a significant processing load on itself.
