  • Patent number: 11409890
    Abstract: A video recording apparatus includes an illumination apparatus applying a modulated illumination light, a control apparatus controlling the illumination apparatus, an imaging apparatus imaging the illumination light and an object at the same time to generate video data; and a storage apparatus storing the video data generated by the imaging apparatus. The control apparatus generates encrypted data by using at least a portion of the video data imaged by the imaging apparatus and encryption information generated as information changing in accordance with a date and time and used for encryption and controls the illumination apparatus such that the illumination light is modulated by the generated encrypted data.

  • Patent number: 11143762
    Abstract: GPS (Global Positioning System) correction data distribution device includes: first communicator that communicates with terminal device; second communicator that communicates with server; HDD (hard drive) that stores a database, the database having at least one coordinate and GPS correction data in association with each other; and manager that manages the database. Manager obtains GPS correction data from server with respect to the coordinate in the database, and updates the database while associating the coordinate with the GPS correction data. Manager refers to the database upon receipt of the GPS correction data distribution request from terminal device, extracts the GPS correction data of the coordinate corresponding to a position of the terminal device, and distributes the extracted GPS correction data to terminal device.
