  • Patent number: 11645944
    Abstract: A learning toy which enables learning of high-level programming in a stepwise manner. A movement path is constituted by a plurality of command panels in which command information which can be read with an optical reading module is recorded being arranged. A mobile robot sequentially reads command information included in the command panels through which the mobile robot passes while moving along the movement path and stores a plurality of pieces of command information in a command information memory. The mobile robot takes out a plurality of pieces of command information from arbitrary positions in the command information memory to execute operation. If a plurality of pieces of command information necessary for operation of the mobile robot are stored in the command information memory, a control unit of the mobile robot automatically extracts and takes out the command information and causes the mobile robot to operate.

  • Patent number: 10688666
    Abstract: Provided is an educational toy that enables even an infant of low age to easily play with interest. One or a plurality of command panels 121 are arranged to form a moving path 120, the command panels 121 including command information readable by a reading module. The movable robot 110 sequentially reads, using the reading module, the command information included in the command panel 121 over which the movable robot 110 passes, while moving on the moving path 120, and sequentially performs an action corresponding to the read command information. The actions performed by the movable robot 110 include at least any one of starting a movement, stopping the movement, rotating, changing a moving direction to a predetermined direction, flashing a light emitting portion of the movable object in a predetermined color, and replaying sound.

  • Publication number: 20200027371
    Abstract: A learning toy is provided which enables various kinds of operation and which allows not only younger infants but also older children to learn high-level programming in a stepwise manner. A movement path 120 is configured by a plurality of command panels 121 in which command information which can be read by an optical reading module 240 is recorded being arranged. A mobile robot 110 sequentially reads the command information recorded in the command panels 121 through which the mobile robot 110 passes while moving on the movement path 120, operates on the basis of this command information and transmits the read command information to a tablet computer 130. The tablet computer 130 which receives this command information displays an image or generates sound on the basis of this command information. Further, it is also possible to operate the mobile robot 110 from the tablet computer 130.

  • Patent number: 8607329
    Abstract: An information succession system, which operates in accordance with inputted information to provide access to inputted information, including the personality of the original user, to successors of the original user. An encryption processing unit encrypts inputted information and generates keys used in association with access by users. A character/personality data generation unit generates data indicative of a user's character or personality by analyzing user input information. That character data is stored in a character data memory unit and is associated with the user's identification information. A request information analysis unit analyzes and characterizes requests. Request characteristics are stored in the character data memory unit and associated with the user making the request. A transmitting information generation unit generates transmitting (output) information based on the generated personality data of the user and the characteristic of the request.

  • Publication number: 20110131138
    Abstract: Provided is a collective suspension processing server device, collective suspension representation processing server device, settlement representation processing server device, method, and program, wherein there is no chance that the encryption key leaks. Also provided is the implementation of preventing the leakage of any piece of information under management. The collective suspension processing server device, collective suspension representation processing server device, settlement representation processing server device, method, and program does not hold the encryption key and the decryption key which are used to encrypt users' card information in a management database, but instead, dynamically generates the encryption key and the decryption key.

  • Publication number: 20100266129
    Abstract: An information transmission system includes a terminal device connected to a server device. Transmission destination information and transmission source information are encrypted and correlated with a user identifier when this information is stored in a storage unit for the server device. By using the user identifier and a decryption key which are reported when a transmission command button of the terminal device is pressed, the transmission destination information and the transmission source information are read out and decrypted by a decryption unit. A transmission unit for the server device transmits the transmission source information to a transmission destination specified by the transmission destination information.
