Abstract: An automatic operation system in which automatic operation control can be selectively exercised on a plurality of previously registered machining centers from a remotely located terminal via a cloud server is provided. The machining center automatic operating system includes: a cloud-side control unit that is provided in a cloud server connected to a CNC device of each machining center via a communication line, generates a machining command for each machine tool at an automatic machining command generation unit, and transmits the machining command to a corresponding CNC device; and one or more terminals that transmit inputted three-dimensional CAD design data of an intended machined product to the cloud-side control unit via the communication line and display information transmitted from the cloud-side control unit on a display unit.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a light emitter that emits light toward the surroundings of a vehicle, an imager that captures an image of a range including a region that is illuminated with light emitted by the light emitter, and a difference image generator that generates (n?1) difference images from n captured images captured by the imager (n is an integer no smaller than 3). The difference image generator generates a difference image based on an image included in the n captured images and captured while the light emitter is on and an image included in the n captured images and captured while the light emitter is dimmed.

Abstract: A telephone answering service support system including a task data DB 14g that stores a plurality of task data items, each task data item including a task name of a task in a telephone answering service and speech data indicating speech to be made in the task, a task list obtaining unit 14d that displays the task name on a display of an operator of the telephone answering service, and a task determining unit 14e that determines which task has been completed among the plurality of tasks corresponding to the plurality of task data items, based on voice of the operator and the speech data, and executes, in a case where it is determined that any of the tasks has been completed, display control for distinguishing the task name of the task that is determined to have been completed from other task names.
