Abstract: In a digital signage apparatus, a controller makes an imaging unit photograph in a first image quality mode and performs face recognition to a captured image obtained by the imaging unit. When the predetermined condition is satisfied in which the behavior of the person in front of the digital signage apparatus is assumed to be interested in the digital signage apparatus, the controller makes the imaging unit photograph in the second image quality mode higher than the first image quality and performs the face recognition to the captured image obtained by the imaging unit. The above case includes cases where the user operation has been detected, where the size of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or larger than the predetermined size, and where the moving amount of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or less than the predetermined amount.

Abstract: There is provided a charge controller capable of charging a capacitor while suppressing the progress of deterioration of the capacitor without unnecessary charge/discharge of the capacitor. The charge controller includes a voltage sensor 133 that detects the voltage of a capacitor 101, a current sensor 135 that detects the charge/discharge current of the capacitor 101, a battery ECU 123 that estimates the SOC of the capacitor 101 based on the detected voltage, and a management ECU 117. The management ECU 117 calculates the charge/discharge amount from the start of charging of the capacitor 101 by integrating the charge/discharge currents detected by the current sensor 135 and controls the charging of the capacitor 101 based on the estimated SOC and the calculated charge/discharge amount. The management ECU 117 updates and sets the estimated SOC to an actual use upper limit SOC based on the state characteristics of the capacitor 101.

Abstract: In a portable electronic apparatus, a memory is provided to store a plurality of groups of messages. Each group of messages includes messages having the same meaning, which are expressed in different languages such as Japanese, English, and French. A user designates a main language corresponding to a mother tongue of the user and a sub-language corresponding to a language used in a travel destination area. When a travel mode is set, for instance, a photograph request button is depressed and a photograph requesting message is, for example, displayed in the main language and in the sub-language on a display screen simultaneously. As a result, a user who is very weak in English can show the request messages to a third party to easily request the third party to the user, while at the same time the user can confirm the contents of the request messages.

Abstract: When it is determined that a shutter button has been depressed, it is determined if a moving image photographing mode is set. When a still image photographing mode is set, a still image photographing operation is performed. It is determined if a user sets a recording medium for recording a still image. When the recording medium has been set by the user, the still image data is transferred and recorded in the set recording medium. When it is determined that the moving image photographing mode has been set, a moving image photographing operation begins. When the shutter button is depressed again, the moving image photographing operation finishes. It is determined if the recording medium is set by the user for recording the moving image data. When the recording medium has been set, the moving image data is transferred and recorded in the recording medium.
