LEDs emit light in accordance with a light emission pattern specified by a combination of light emission parameters that represent light emission characteristics. A light emission control unit performs control to select a light emission pattern from among two or more preset light emission patterns, based on a change in physical quantity resulting from an action of a user, and cause a light-emitting unit to emit light in accordance with the selected light emission pattern. The present technique can be applied to information processing devices used as communication tools.

Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of at least one of detecting that a UE camps on a femto cell and detecting that the UE decamps from the range femto cell, a gateway (110—1) forms a gateway system and relays traffic between a core network (20) and a base station (30—2). When TMSI or P-TMSI temporarily assigned to a UE (40—1) requesting to camp on the base station (30—2) is received from the base station (30—2) through a public network, the gateway (110—1) requests a server (120), which communicates with the core network (20) and the gateway (110—1), to notify IMSI permanently assigned to the UE (40—1) and associated with the TMSI or P-TMSI. In response to the request, the sever (120) acquires the IMSI from the core network (20) and notifies it to the gateway (110—1). The gateway (110—1) identifies the UE (40—1) by using the IMSI.
