  • Patent number: 10759049
    Abstract: A service providing system is equipped with a robot, a robot time zone management unit configured to specify a time zone in which there is no action plan for the robot itself, an activity specifying unit configured to specify an activity that has yet to be experienced by the robot itself or a subject and that is of high priority, and a location specifying unit configured to specify a location where the activity is performed. In the specified time zone, the robot moves to the specified location, performs the specified activity, and provides information obtained through the activity, to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190020614
    Abstract: A life log utilization system associates at least two from among event information, emotion information, and behavior information, which are acquired at the same time or within a predetermined time period, records the associated information as a life log of a user, and outputs as life content to at least the user the recorded life log or information, such as edited content, generated from the life log. In addition, the life log utilization system permits output of the life content to another user, on the condition that approval of sharing from the user has been received.

  • Patent number: 9598005
    Abstract: A turn signal control apparatus includes a switch, a flashing cycle control device, an operation device, a sharp deceleration-detection device, a bypass device, and a flashing cycle modification device. The flashing cycle control device is to determine a flashing cycle. The operation device is to open and close the switch according to the flashing cycle determined by the flashing cycle control device so that a turn signal lamp flashes. The flashing cycle modification device is to modify the flashing cycle determined by the flashing cycle control device to produce a modified flashing cycle according to a sharp deceleration-detection signal. The flashing cycle modification device and the bypass device are configured to operate to electrically connect an upstream side of the operation device and a downstream side of the operation device according to the modified flashing cycle in a case where the sharp deceleration-detection signal is outputted.
