  • Publication number: 20220358666
    Abstract: Provided is a gate device that accurately determines a user to be authenticated. The gate device is provided with an acquisition unit, a setting unit, and a gate control unit. The acquisition unit acquires an upper image and a lower image respectively from an upper camera and a lower camera that is installed on a vertically lower side of the upper camera. When a plurality of users are captured in both the upper image and the lower image, the setting unit identifies a user in the forward-most row among the plurality of users by calculating the distance between each of the plurality of users and a camera installation surface, and then sets the identified user as a person to be authenticated. The gate control unit controls a gate on the basis of the result of authentication of the person to be authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20220358804
    Abstract: A gate device is provided which prevents unauthenticated users from passing. The gate device is provided with an acquisition unit, an authentication request unit, a determination unit and a gate control unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information of a person to be authenticated who is in an authentication area. The authentication request unit transmits to a server device an authentication request that contains the acquired biological information. The determination unit detects a person approaching the local gate device by using a sensor for detecting approaching persons, and determines whether or not the approaching person and the person to be authenticated are the same person. If authentication by the server device is successful and the approaching person and the authenticated person are the same person, then the gate control unit controls the gate to allow passage of the authenticated person.

  • Patent number: 10465600
    Abstract: Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine, which is configured to: acquire an internal combustion engine required opening degree of the waste gate valve based on the operation state of the internal combustion engine. When the internal combustion engine required opening degree is full closing, full closing learning control is carried out by converting the target opening degree of the waste gate valve to a target opening degree for full closing learning so as to bring about a state in which the waste gate valve fully closes the exhaust bypass passage. When a state in which the position of the actuator does not change consequently continues for a set period, it is considered that the fully closed state is brought about and the full closing learning is finished, and a correction amount for the feedback control is decreased.
