  • Patent number: 9505127
    Abstract: A self-propelled cleaner (1), i.e., a self-propelled electronic device, includes a temperature measurement unit (63) that measures an ambient temperature during self-propelled operation, a temperature decision unit (521) that decides whether the measured ambient temperature is equal to or more than a set value, and an abnormal temperature notification unit (522) that externally reports abnormal temperature information indicating that the measured ambient temperature is equal to or more than the set value if the measured ambient temperature is decided to be equal to or more than the set value.

  • Publication number: 20150332675
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus of the present invention includes: a speech input section for converting an inputted speech to speech data; a speech recognition section for analyzing the speech data so as to identify a word or sentence in the speech data and calculate a certainty of the identified word or sentence; a response determining section for determining, in accordance with the certainty, whether to ask back to a user; and an asking-back section for asking back to the user, in a case where the certainty is less than a first threshold and not less than a second threshold, the response determining section determining that the electronic apparatus is going to ask back to the user, and in a case where the certainty is less than the second threshold, the response determining section determining that the electronic apparatus is not going to ask back.
