Abstract: A method for determining a blood pressure measurement state, using a device that is held in a hand of a user to whom a blood pressure meter is mounted. The method includes: obtaining (i) image data including a face of the user by a camera that the device has, (ii) first information indicating an inclination angle of the determining device as to the gravitational direction, by an angle sensor that the device has, and (iii) second information indicating a position of the face of the user in the image data, and the proportion of the size of the face of the user in the image data; determining whether or not the user is correctly using the blood pressure meter based on the image data, the first information and the second information; and providing a notification indicating the determination result.

Abstract: In a case where an apparatus that is moved by a user is moved in a vertical direction, when a distance from an object located in the same two-dimensional position as the apparatus and directly underneath the apparatus is greater than a height, which corresponds to the two-dimensional position and which possibly damages the apparatus when the apparatus falls, a display is caused to perform a first display and a speaker is caused to output a first sound. When the distance is equal to or shorter than the height, the display is caused to perform a second display and the speaker is caused to output a second sound.

Abstract: An engine is provided with an ECU for executing engine control by using various control parameters. The ECU includes a learning map storing a learning value of the control parameter and executes weighting learning control of the learning value. In the weighting learning control, each time the control parameter is acquired, a weight wkij decreasing larger if a distance from a position of an acquired value zk of the control parameter to a grid point is larger is set to each of the grid points of the learning map. Then, on the basis of the acquired value zk of the control parameter and the weight wkij, the learning values Zij(k) at all the grid points are updated. As a result, all the learning values can be efficiently updated in one session of the learning operation.
