  • Patent number: 11338377
    Abstract: A power tool includes a cutting unit configured to perform a cutting action, and a cutting action input unit configured to turn the cutting action on and off. The cutting action input unit is configured to, when the cutting action input unit is turned on, cause the cutting unit to move in a direction of an end position of the cutting action, and when the cutting action input unit is turned off, cause the cutting unit to stop moving in a case where the cutting action has not ended at a time when the cutting action input unit is turned off, and move in a direction of a standby position at which the cutting unit was located prior to a start of the cutting action in a case where the cutting action has ended at the time when the cutting action input unit is turned off.

  • Patent number: 10356370
    Abstract: A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone.

  • Patent number: 8072491
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a sensor that obtains sensor data. The system also includes a feature extracting mechanism that extracts a feature of an object based on the sensor data obtained by the sensor. Further, the system includes an event determining mechanism that obtains the feature extracted by the feature extracting mechanism so as to determine whether an event has occurred based on determination parameters. In addition, the system includes a display-data generating mechanism that generates, when an occurrence of the event is determined by the event determining mechanism, display data including event data for reporting the occurrence of the event. A display displays an indication based on the event data. An input reception mechanism receives an input based on the indication displayed by the display. A controller turns off a power source of the sensor based on the input received by the input reception mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7840284
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus performs a monitor processing based on sensor data. A first sensor obtains sensor data of a first format, the first format being video. A second sensor obtains sensor data of a second format, the second format being different from the first format. Surveilled features of an object are extracted from the sensor data obtained and compared to determination parameters in order to determine whether a surveillance event has occurred. When a surveillance event is determined to have occurred, message data reports the surveillance event to a further information processing apparatus. A decision signal is received from the further information processing apparatus, and a switch individually turns ON or OFF each of the first and second sensors according to the decision signal based on an instruction transmitted from the further information processing apparatus.
