  • Patent number: 10917851
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention prevents false detection of lifting. An embodiment of the present invention includes: an angle determination section (62) configured to determine whether or not an angle of a longitudinal direction of a mobile terminal (1) with respect to a vertical direction is less than or equal to a predetermined value; and a lifting determination section (65) configured to determine whether or not the mobile terminal (1) has been lifted, the lifting determination section carrying out determination in (i) a case where the angle of the longitudinal direction of the electronic device with respect to the vertical direction is greater than the predetermined angle and (ii) a case where (a) the angle of the longitudinal direction of the electronic device with respect to the vertical direction is less than or equal to the predetermined angle and (b) an acceleration of the electronic device in the longitudinal direction satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 10667217
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing device which reduces the possibility of a false detection of lifting of an electronic device. A standstill determination section (63) determines that a standstill condition is satisfied in a case where a dispersion of acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor (11) is (i) within a predetermined standstill reference range and (ii) outside a predetermined complete standstill reference range. Then, in a case where the standstill determination section (63) determines that the standstill condition is satisfied, a lifting determination section determines that an electronic device (1) has been lifted.

  • Publication number: 20180136742
    Abstract: A device of the present invention makes it possible to detect lifting of the device itself with a reduced possibility of false detection. The device of the present invention includes a lifting control section (52) which determines, under the following conditions, that the lifting has been carried out. The conditions are as follows: the lifting control section (52) obtains acceleration information indicative of acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor (11); a waveform representing values of acceleration indicated by the acceleration information with respect to elapsed time has a maximum value and a minimum value; the acceleration is greater than a first predetermined value during a first predetermined period including a time point of the maximum value; and the acceleration is lower than a second predetermined value during a second predetermined period including a time point of the minimum value.

  • Patent number: 7916188
    Abstract: To make it possible to cope with an error in a hue or the like in the case of using such a CCD of lower quality or an analog circuit of lower quality as might otherwise raise a problem in the hue, a correction approximating straight line group information creating method/apparatus of a multi-divided reading CCD and a correction processing device manufacturing method/apparatus of a multi-divided reading CCD generate correction approximating straight line group information for one real shot optimum for corrections, at an adjusting stage from a plurality of pieces of primary correction approximating straight line group information generated in advance. At the shooting time, therefore, all pixels can be corrected for their individual kinds by making use of the correction approximating straight line group information for one real shot.
