  • Patent number: 10987002
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device operates using a battery as a power source, and enables the continuous measurement of biological information. The biological information measurement device is provided with: a battery charge level detection unit for detecting the charge level of the battery; a measurement control unit that ends measurement of biological information when the charge level of the battery falls below a threshold value during biological information measurement; and an information output unit that, when biological information measurement has been ended by the measurement control unit, outputs, to a display unit, information indicating the length of time over which biological information was measured.

  • Publication number: 20210117651
    Abstract: A facial image identification system is provided to calculate a first feature amount related to each of features from first facial image data used in machine learning for constructing a first identifier that identifies the features of a face, calculate a second feature amount related to each feature from second facial image data obtained in the environment using the first identifier, and compare the first and the second feature amounts for each feature. The system extracts a feature having a large difference between the first and the second feature amounts as a difference feature, and constructs, by implementing machine learning that third facial image data is used, a second identifier for identifying the difference feature and/or a difference-related feature. The third facial image data is acquired in the environment that uses the first identifier and reflects the difference feature and/or the difference-related feature in the third facial image data.
