Abstract: A method for producing a glass article includes a forming step (P1) of forming a glass ribbon (2) from a molten glass (6) and a transport step (P2) of transporting the glass ribbon (2) along a transport path. In the transport step (P2), a first roller (9a) and a second roller (9b) configured to transport the glass ribbon (2) while in contact with a first end portion (2s) and a second end portion (2t) of the glass ribbon (2) in the width direction, respectively, are disposed, and a speed difference is provided between the first roller (9a) and the second roller (9b).

Abstract: Photographing parameter(s) include a parameter(s) relating to exposure time and diaphragm, and is used upon capturing an image of a target. A database stores a table indicating a relationship between a value(s) of the photographing parameter(s) and a recognition accuracy threshold that is used upon determining a result of recognition. The recognition accuracy threshold associated with received photographing parameter(s) is extracted from the database, and the image is received. Recognition of the target is performed from the received image in accordance with recognition accuracy threshold.

Abstract: The present invention contributes to decreasing false recognition due to the lighting environment. A facial recognition apparatus comprises a photographing parameter input unit that receives a photographing parameter(s); a lighting information estimation unit that estimates lighting information based on the photographing parameter(s); and a recognition accuracy control unit that controls a recognition accuracy parameter(s) based on the lighting information.

Abstract: Photographing parameter(s) include a parameter(s) relating to exposure time and diaphragm, and is used upon capturing an image of a target. Before the image is obtained, lighting information is estimated based on the photographing parameter(s), and a number of feature points which is used upon facial recognition are determined based on the lighting information. The image is captured using the photographing parameter(s), and that performs, and facial recognition of the target is performed from the captured image using as many feature points as the determined number.

Abstract: Every time a prescribe function is executed, a history use part 112 stores operation history information in an operation history DB 122. When an event occurs, an action control part 111 searches a rule DB 121, extracts an “action” corresponding to the event having occurred, and outputs the extracted action together with information indicating a situation of the occurrence of the event to the history use part 112. The history use part 112 searches he operation history DB 122 on the basis of the information indicating the situation of the occurrence of the event and extracts a corresponding “function”. The history use part 112 executes an action on the basis of the “action” input from the action control part 111 and the extracted “function”.

Abstract: A communication device includes: a characteristic value extraction unit (121) for extracting a predetermined characteristic value from data on communications of the communication device; a degree of closeness calculation unit (122) for calculating, for each communication partner, the degree of closeness between the user and the communication partner based on the characteristic value extracted by the characteristic value extraction unit (121); and a display control unit (131) for executing control for displaying the degree of closeness calculated by the degree of closeness calculation unit (122). Thus, use of the communication device is possible even when it is offline, and contact with infrequent communication partners is facilitated.
