  • Patent number: 11509951
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device, a control method, an electronic device, and a program that enables an operation in a natural manner for switching between and remotely operating various control target devices. A plurality of control target devices emits infrared light codes each including a unique ID in a predetermined pattern. A user holds a controller and directs an infrared light receiving unit toward a control target device. At this time, a control state is established for the control target device specified by an infrared light code received by the controller. After the control state has been established, when a user rotates a main body of the controller, a control parameter in accordance with the amount of rotation is calculated, and a control command in accordance with the control parameter is transmitted to the control target device to control the control target device. The present disclosure can be applied to a remote controller.

  • Patent number: 11269587
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method as well as a program that make it possible to control, by a partition provided on a boundary between two spaces, a visual shielding property and an auditory shielding property of a first space to a person in a second space in an interlocking relationship with each other in response to a distance between the person in the second space and the partition. A distance between the partition, which partitions the first space and the second space, and a person in the second space is measured, and transmittance of the partition and magnitude of output of audio in the first space to the second space are controlled in response to the measured distance. The present disclosure can be applied to a control apparatus for a partition section.

  • Patent number: 10860205
    Abstract: Provided is a control device that projects an image representing input information onto a projection surface so as to follow an input of the input information, with an effect in accordance with the type of the projection surface. As the projection surface, a thin sheet material attached on a wall surface is prepared, for example. The color of the thin sheet material is a dark color, for example, and in time with projection of the image representing a handwritten character or picture, a sound, which will come out when the character or the picture is drawn with a chalk on a chalkboard, is output from a speaker installed on the back side of the projection surface.
