Abstract: An organism information detecting apparatus includes a detector that detects organism information of a subject for a predetermined sampling time period, determines a motion state of the subject when the organism information is detected, and outputs an organism signal. A first calculator processes the organism signal to calculate organism information data, the detector determining a reliability degree of the organism information data based on whether the determined motion state of the subject is a previously determined motion state. A second calculator calculates an average value of the amount of variation per time of data obtained by digitizing the organism signal, the average value being data supplementary to the organism information data. The detector determines the motion state of the subject based on whether the supplementary data exceeds a previously determined threshold.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic shelf label system capable of shortening a period of time required in distributing a large amount of information such as update information for all electronic shelf labels. In the electronic shelf label system, a communication control device (200) distributes shelf label information for an electronic shelf label. A relay station device (300a, 300b) has an electronic shelf label allocated thereto as a relay destination of the shelf label information, and relays only a piece of the shelf label information for the electronic shelf label device that is allocated to the relay station device. The electronic shelf label receives the shelf label information relayed by the relay station device (300a, 300b), to thereby perform display based on the shelf label information.

Abstract: Provided are an electronic shelf label system, a product price management device, a portable terminal device, an electronic shelf label device, a product price management method, a product price update method, a product price management program, and a product price update program, which are capable of changing display of an electronic shelf label in a place where the electronic shelf label is installed. A handy terminal (105) reads, from a shelf label (104), identification information of the shelf label (104), and transmits, to a communication controller (102), price information of a product that is input to the handy terminal (105) itself and the identification information of the shelf label (104).

Abstract: A health care system capable of altering the schedule appropriately depending on the physical condition of a user, a biological information terminal, a schedule managing method, and a schedule managing program. Physical condition information is detected or an action is instructed based on first schedule information, and based on the detection results of physical condition information or the result of an action instruction, information of schedule to be executed is altered from the first information to second schedule information.

Abstract: The invention relates to an organism information detecting apparatus capable of determining a motion state of a subject when organism information is detected. The organism information detecting apparatus of the invention includes organism information detecting means for detecting organism information of the subject by being brought into contact with the subject by a previously determined sampling time period and outputting an organism signal, organism information data calculating means for calculating an organism information data by processing the organism signal, supplementary data calculating means for calculating an average value of a variation amount per time of a data constituted by digitizing the organism signal as a supplementary data of the organism information data, and data storing means for relating the organism information data and the supplementary data to be stored.

Abstract: An information provision method effectively utilizes a mobile communication infrastructure to offer a user-friendly communication service. A portable telephone is carried in a state of being separated from a user's body while a wrist-worn portable terminal is carried in a state of being maintained in direct contact with the user's wrist like a wristwatch. When the portable telephone receives service information during a main communication process, e.g., telephone conversation, it transfers the service information to the wrist-worn portable terminal. The wrist-worn portable terminal outputs and displays the transferred service information. A portable telephone company enables communication through the user's portable telephone by using a portable telephone communication infrastructure, and transmits service information to the portable telephone during intervals between time periods for the main communication process.

Abstract: An appliance management system includes an electronic device having some functions useful to a user, and an appliance management device designed to be always carried by the user. The electronic device receives a predetermined signal from the appliance management device, and extracts an ID code of the appliance management device. The electronic device becomes unusable when the signal receiving condition is bad. The functions of the electronic device are restricted according to the result of collation between management information registered in the electronic device and the ID code in the received signal.

Abstract: A reflective type liquid crystal display device has a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate, and a light scattering liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second transparent substrates. A solar cell is disposed on the second transparent substrate. A portion of the solar cell comprises an active element for driving the light scattering liquid crystal layer.

A second substrate is disposed opposite and spaced-apart from the first substrate. A reflection layer is disposed on the second substrate. A polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is disposed between the transparent electrode and the reflection layer and is formed by exposure to an ultraviolet ray in a preselected wavelength range. A ratio of a transmissivity of the first filter for the ultraviolet ray to a transmissivity of the second filter for the ultraviolet ray is 3.0 or less.
