  • Patent number: 11907871
    Abstract: A generation device that generates a feature amount range visualization element that defines a continuous feature amount range for each of the factors based on time series data including feature amounts of different factors existing in time series and generates an inter-feature amount visualization element that defines relevance between a first feature amount of a first factor and a second feature amount of a second factor that are continuous in time. The device also generates visualization information indicating a relationship of the feature amounts related to the plurality of different factors by associating, by the inter-feature amount visualization element, a first feature amount range visualization element of the first factor with a second feature amount range visualization element of the second factor.

  • Publication number: 20220405985
    Abstract: An augmented reality content creation device includes: a determination part configured to, when a content virtually disposed in a real space is displayed in a display area having a transparent outer frame, determine whether or not the content has prescribed dimensions or larger with respect to the display area; and a highlighting part configured to, if the content is determined to have prescribed dimensions or larger with respect to the display area, highlight an edge of the content.

  • Patent number: 11409369
    Abstract: An input action setting unit selects an action of a user to be accepted as an input operation. An input accepting unit accepts an output from a sensor that is worn by a user and detects a movement of at least one region of the user. When detecting based on the output of the sensor that the user has performed the action selected by the input action setting unit, the input accepting unit accepts the action as an input operation performed by the user. The input action setting unit selects an action of the user to be accepted as the input operation from among preset multiple kinds of action of the user based on at least one of an environment in which the user is placed and a working action of the user other than the input operation, and sets the action in the input accepting unit.

  • Publication number: 20220004584
    Abstract: To present a relationship among the factors F at different time points using continuous feature amounts. A generation device executes: visualization element generation processing, based on time series data including feature amounts of a plurality of different factors existing in time series, a feature amount range visualization element that defines a continuous feature amount range for each of the factors, and generating an inter-feature amount visualization element that defines relevance between a first feature amount of a first factor and a second feature amount of a second factor that are continuous in time, and visualization element generation processing of generating visualization information indicating a relationship of the feature amounts related to the plurality of different factors by associating, by the inter-feature amount visualization element, a first feature amount range visualization element of the first factor with a second feature amount range visualization element of the second factor.

  • Publication number: 20210389827
    Abstract: The invention provides a wearable device control system such that an appropriate input action can easily be set from among a multiple of input actions. An input action setting unit selects an action of a user to be accepted as an input operation. An input accepting unit accepts an output from a sensor that is worn by a user and detects a movement of at least one region of the user. When detecting based on the output of the sensor that the user has performed the action selected by the input action setting unit, the input accepting unit accepts the action as an input operation performed by the user. The input action setting unit selects an action of the user to be accepted as the input operation from among preset multiple kinds of action of the user based on at least one of an environment in which the user is placed and a working action of the user other than the input operation, and sets the action in the input accepting unit.

  • Patent number: 7657440
    Abstract: A fishing gear maintenance cost estimation system uses a fishing gear maintenance cost estimation program to estimate cost of maintenance of fishing gear. The fishing gear maintenance cost estimation system has an information acceptance component, a replacement part determination component, a cost computation component and a display. The information acceptance component accepts estimation basis information including product information and condition information. The product information is information for identifying a product name of fishing gear. The condition information is information for identifying condition of the fishing gear. The replacement part determination component determines a part which must be replaced on the basis of the estimation basis information. The cost computation component computes the overhaul cost including the cost of the part. The display displays the overhaul cost.
