Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile object detection method, and a mobile object detection system, that allow detecting the movement of an object based on measurements of the electric field intensity generated by transmitters such as IC tags, while curbing implementation costs. Movement of the object is detected by measuring electric field intensity generated by a plurality of transmitters arranged in a detection space, obtaining a difference between the electric field intensity and an average value of the electric field intensity in a state where an object in the detection space is not moving, and detecting the movement of the object when the difference is equal to or larger than a threshold value based on a standard deviation of the electric field intensity in a state where the object in the detection space is not moving.

Abstract: The invention provides a new authentication system which is capable of not being deceived by copied images and excellent in authentication accuracy and convenience. An image with built-in authentication information to be used for authentication is emitted by an emission angle-dependent light emitting device while being diffracted at a specified angle. An emission angle-dependent light for detector 22 collects a diffracted light, and a control device 23 converts it into an image in the form of an electrical signal. The image in the form of an electrical signal is used for authenticating.

The information input/output unit inputs phrasal information, and outputs search result information. The search word extraction unit extracts a search word from the phrasal information. The first ranking search unit searches a document having the search word from a database, and outputs a first ranking search result. The learning data unit prepares learning data from the first ranking search result. The classifying parameter generation unit generates a classifying parameter from the learning data. The second ranking search unit searches a document having a word corresponding to the classifying parameter from the database. The classifying unit extracts a document matching to a searcher's intention, and outputs the document as a second ranking search result.
