  • Publication number: 20240135155
    Abstract: In a data processing device, a fixed-point position control unit determines, as first control. The fixed-point position control unit causes a detection calculation unit to perform calculation processing on processing target data at a processing point in time. The saturation rate control unit instructs, as second control to be repeated by the fixed-point position control unit, the fixed-point position control unit to move at least the fixed-point position as control to increase a lower limit saturation rate proportional to a magnitude of a counted lower limit counter value with respect to a result of the first control. The fixed-point position control unit performs, as the second control, a predetermined determination on the basis of the instruction from the saturation rate control unit and the metadata, determines the fixed-point position moved for each layer, and causes calculation processing to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20240135652
    Abstract: A delivery control device generates a recognition index on a notification space basis, the recognition index used to recognize the notification space, displays the recognition index in the notification space, and stores the recognition index in management information. The delivery control device instead stores an image characteristic extracted from a content to be displayed in the notification space as the recognition index in the management information. In this state, the delivery control device selects a notification space viewable on the augmented reality display terminal based on information on the position of the augmented reality display terminal held by a user and information on the position of the notification space and transmits the recognition index corresponding to the selected notification space and a notification content to the augmented reality display terminal.
