  • Publication number: 20230022295
    Abstract: In a control apparatus, a relative value calculation unit calculates a first relative value of a second communication quality parameter value acquired by an acquisition unit relative to a first communication quality parameter value acquired by the acquisition unit. The first communication quality parameter value is a communication quality parameter value for an in-use channel, and the second communication quality parameter value is a communication quality parameter value for a standby channel. Further, a channel switching control unit determines whether or not a radio channel set as the standby channel should be switched from the standby channel to the in-use channel based on a comparison result obtained by comparing the first relative value calculated by the relative value calculation unit and a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180225704
    Abstract: The influence measurement device measures the influence of a moving first subject, for example, a person or an advertisement vehicle, on a second subject such as a person. The influence measurement device is equipped at least with: a measurement unit for measuring at least a influence; and an output unit for outputting the influence. Specifically, the influence measurement device determines whether there is a second subject on which a first subject may have an influence, determines whether there is a reaction from the second subject, and measures the influence of the first subject on the second subject based on the determination result. Also, the influence measurement device may be configured such that the presence of the second subject and the reaction from the second subject are determined by analyzing image data captured of the second subject from the first subject by using a camera.
