  • Patent number: 11383834
    Abstract: Detectors detect a user's touch operation to an airframe, and a motor control unit controls rotations of motors, based on the user's touch operation detected by the detectors. The motor control unit is configured to have a hovering function of making the airframe automatically perform a stationary flight at a hovering position. The motor control unit keeps the setting of the hovering function off during a period while the detectors are detecting a user's touch operation, and when the detectors stop detecting a user's touch operation, the motor control unit sets the hovering function on.

  • Patent number: 10721378
    Abstract: In an image management system 100, an unmanned flying body 1 acquires a camera image during the flight of the unmanned moving body, an image accumulating server 30 records the camera image, and a reproduction terminal apparatus 40 reproduces the camera image. If a predetermined subject is determined included in the camera image, then one of the acquisition processing, the recording processing, and the reproduction processing to be executed on an camera image is restricted. Further, if an image-taking prohibited area is determined included in an image-taking range of a camera, one of the acquisition processing, the recording processing, and the reproduction processing to be executed on the camera image is restricted.

  • Publication number: 20140310068
    Abstract: In a store providing system, an action history recording device records the action history of a user. A product information acceptor accepts information to identify content to be sold in a store. Here, the product information acceptor accepts the information to identify content included in the action history of the user in the action history recording device. A content disposing section disposes accepted information relating to content in the store. A target sales holder holds a target number of sales of content and a content price holder holds the price of the content. A price decider increases the price of the content if the counted number of sales is equal to or larger than the target number of sales, and decreases the price of the content if the counted number of sales is smaller than the target number of sales.
