Patent number: 6132391Abstract: A portable position detector and a position management system that are capable of accurately detecting the direction of a walking body even when GPS signals cannot be received (or without reception) and thereby enhancing the accuracy of the dead reckoned position of the walking body.The portable position detector is equipped with a pedometer and a geomagnetic sensor. With the pedometer, the moved distance of a walker is detected by a calculation of "the number of steps.times.the length of a step". The moved direction is detected with the geomagnetic sensor. With this, the moved position of the walker is accurately detected by the self-contained navigation system.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1998Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: JATCO CorporationInventors: Mikihiko Onari, Yoshio Matsuoka, Akihiro Aoyama

Patent number: 5364270Abstract: In an apparatus having a video display and display-synchronizing motion mechanism, various images can be easily selected and displayed, and a seat or the like is moved in synchronism with motions in the images, so that a person can enjoy the images as if real. An information select unit specifies a desired one of a plurality of video/motion information pieces recorded on a storage medium, and an information read unit reads the specified video/movement information. Images formed by video information contained in the readout video/motion information are displayed on a display device, and the seat or the like is moved in synchronism with the images on the basis of motion information contained therein. A monitor unit monitors the readout video/motion information, and stops a read operation of the information read unit when the apparatus malfunctions.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1992Date of Patent: November 15, 1994Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Akihiro Aoyama, Hitoshi Kaneko, Akira Tajiri, Iwao Okamura, Yuzo Tanaka
