Patent number: 8825257Abstract: An autonomous navigation method is a method of causing a mobile body (100) to autonomously navigate while comparing environmental magnetism data obtained in advance by measuring magnetism generated along a navigation path on which the mobile body (100) navigates and measured magnetism detected by actually measuring the magnetism generated along the navigation path when the mobile body (100) navigates along the navigation path. The method includes a step (a) of detecting first measured magnetism and second measured magnetism in different positions on the mobile body (100) and a step (b) of causing the mobile body (100) to autonomously navigate on the basis of the second measured magnetism detected by a magnetism sensor (103), which is not affected by unexpected magnetism (G) not included in the environmental magnetism data, and the environmental magnetism data.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Utsunomiya UniversityInventors: Koichi Ozaki, Rahok Samann

Publication number: 20050183113Abstract: This invention gives a restriction to a utilization time of an output apparatus to ensure that a user recognizes that the utilization time is close to an end. When a video apparatus is set into a game mode, time count is started. As the utilization time is close to an end, a brightness of a display section is gradually reduced. When the utilization time expires, an output of a signal input from a game machine is stopped. Until a prohibition time expires, the signal input from the game machine is not output, thereby prohibiting use of the game machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2004Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventor: Koichi Ozaki

Publication number: 20050125829Abstract: To prevent the power of a television set from being turned on automatically by an unintended turn-on of the power of external device when the power of the television set is off. When turn-on of the power of the external device is detected, time count starts. When the second turn-on of the power of the external device is detected in a predetermined time after the detection of turn-off of the power of the external device, the power is turned on and the video is displayed. When the power of the external device is not turned off, when the second turn-on of the power is not detected, or when the second turn-on of the power occurs over the predetermined time, the power of the television set is not turned on.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventor: Koichi Ozaki

Publication number: 20040126092Abstract: This invention facilitates a genre setting made when program data is newly recorded. A search is conducted to determine whether a day of week, a channel, a recording start time, and a recording end time as recording information on newly recorded program data coincide with recording information in a genre database for previously recorded program data. If the recording information coincident with the new recording is present, a genre for the coincident recording information is set as a genre for the new recording information. If no coincident recording information is present, the new recording information is set as recording information without a genre.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2003Publication date: July 1, 2004Inventor: Koichi Ozaki
