Patent number: 11463128Abstract: An information processing device to enable a user to create a program with visual operations, and to enable the stable implementation of many functions with a small number of devices. In a basic core, a pairing unit executes pairing with a user terminal that executes control for causing functional modules, to exhibit prescribed functions. A transmission information generation unit generates transmission information including: prescribed information to be used by the functional modules, to exhibit the prescribed functions or while exhibiting the prescribed functions on the basis of the control by the user terminal; and information indicating a transmission destination, which is one of the functional modules. A connection unit executes control to superimpose the transmission information on a signal for supplying power to the functional modules in the form of electric current and to transmit the signal to the functional modules.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: VIVIWARE JAPAN, INC.Inventors: Hideaki Nii, Shozaburo Shimada, Kazutoshi Kashimoto, Vijay Siddharth Pillai, Shintaro Itamoto

Patent number: 11250174Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for forming a prescribed three-dimensional shape from a material member having a prescribed thickness. A CAD device creates a mold for cutting out at least one component for forming a prescribed three-dimensional shape from a material member. A developed view generation unit creates a developed view or an isolated plan view of the prescribed three-dimensional shape. On the basis of the developed view or the isolated plan view, a mold creation unit creates a mold for a component having a fitting part for fitting with an other, adjacent component. A cut-out order determination unit attaches a symbol indicating the cut-out order to each component or to each of a plurality of isolated elements in the component.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: VIVIWARE JAPAN, INC.Inventors: Kazutoshi Kashimoto, Jimi Okelana, Kazuto Nishizawa, Shota Kagami

Patent number: 11024196Abstract: In order to enable a user to produce a program by means of visible operations, a pairing unit pairs a user terminal and a basic core. A program production unit produces a program on the basis of touch operations by the user. An H parts supply unit and an S parts supply unit respectively supply H parts and S parts to the program production unit. A parts connection unit connects the various H parts and S parts in accordance with touch operations by the user. A program execution unit extracts from a program storage unit a program to be executed, and executes that program. A communication control unit transmits the execution result for the program executed by the program execution unit to the basic core via a second close-range communication unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: VIVITA JAPAN, INC.Inventors: Shozaburo Shimada, Kazutoshi Kashimoto, Siddharth Vijay Pillai, Shintaro Itamoto

Publication number: 20210127247Abstract: The present invention enables determination of a pairing partner from among a plurality of devices. In response to acquisition of individual identification information enabling identification of one peripheral terminal, from among one or more peripheral terminals, a pairing unit of a central terminal starts a process (scanning) for acquiring an advertising packet, which is information transmitted from the one peripheral terminal and which is necessary for pairing, and executes pairing with the peripheral terminal by using the acquired advertising packet. In addition, a pairing unit of the peripheral terminal executes control for transmitting the advertising packet in response to acquisition of individual identification information by the central terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: Shozaburo SHIMADA, Kazutoshi KASHIMOTO, Siddharth Vijay PILLAI, Shintaro ITAMOTO, Hideaki NII, Masatoshi IMAI, Shota KAGAMI

Patent number: 9613625Abstract: A dynamic speech recognition dictionary generating unit extracts, from phrases stored in a speech recognition dictionary, phrases of which heads match a head of a character string inputted through a character string input unit and generates a dynamic speech recognition dictionary that stores difference phrases that are each part of an extracted phrase excluding a common phrase that is common among the extracted phrases. A speech recognition unit carries out recognition of a user utterance by using the dynamic speech recognition dictionary. An input character string confirming unit confirms an input character string candidate that includes a recognized difference phrase as an input character string.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazutoshi Kashimoto

Publication number: 20140059249Abstract: When an information storing area included only in a first data format among the first data format corresponding to a version of processing target data and a second data format corresponding to an output version is present as a difference area, a data conversion device 110 converts information data in the difference area in the processing target data to a post-conversion character string using codes for non-display characters, and generates post-conversion data of the output version in which the post-conversion character string is embedded. When an information storing area included only in the second data format is present as a difference area, the data conversion device 110 inversely converts a character string embedded in the processing target data and uses the codes for the non-display characters, and generates post-inverse conversion data of the output version in which information data restored by the inverse conversion is stored in the difference area.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2012Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Kazutoshi Kashimoto
