  • Patent number: 12245347
    Abstract: An induction heating system includes induction heating apparatuses, each including a high-frequency current transformer, a low-frequency current transformer and a heating coil, a high-frequency input switch connected to the high-frequency current transformer, a low-frequency input switch connected to the low-frequency current transformer, a first power source to output a high-frequency electric power and a low frequency electric power, a second power source, a first power source output switch connectable to the first power source, a second power source output switch connectable to the second power source, and a switch controller. Each induction heating apparatus includes a heater controller to send a signal to the switching controller to turn on one of the first power source output switch and the second power source output switch, to turn off the other, and to switch on or off each of the high-frequency input switch and the low-frequency input switch.

  • Publication number: 20250021158
    Abstract: A recommendation device includes an acquisition unit acquiring a visual line image obtained by imaging the trajectory of the visual line of a user browsing a content displayed on a user terminal, an extraction unit extracting a feature vector indicating a feature amount of the visual line image, a generation unit generating a correspondence relationship between the content and the trajectory of the visual line of the user as a user context on the basis of the feature vector, a computation unit computing the score of each of a plurality of contents, which are recommendation candidates, by using the user context, and an output unit outputting a recommendation result of a content selected on the basis of the score.

  • Publication number: 20250005647
    Abstract: A recommendation device includes a storage unit storing a content feature vector and a user feature vector, an acquisition unit acquiring information indicating a plurality of favorite contents and preference information indicating the preference of a user, a learning unit performing learning such that the position of the user feature vector and the position of the content feature vector of the plurality of favorite contents approach each other, a correction unit correcting the position of the user feature vector by using weighting based on the preference information, a computation unit computing a score of each of the plurality of contents on the basis of a separation distance between the position of the user feature vector and the position of the content feature vector, and an output unit outputting a recommendation result of a content selected on the basis of the score.

  • Publication number: 20240135407
    Abstract: The server 10 includes: a display control unit 14 that displays link image IM in top screen SC1; a first model generator 161 that generates a first model M1 configured to output, for each content, a first score related to a probability that the link image IM is selected by a user by machine learning based on information indicating whether link image IM is selected by a user, a user attribute of the user, and information indicating content displayed as link image IM; a user attribute acquisition unit 12 that acquires a user attribute of a target user; and an image determining unit 131 that preferentially determines an image of content having a high first score as an image associated with link image IM in top screen SC1 presented to the target user.
