  • Publication number: 20220156794
    Abstract: A product management system includes a product management apparatus for managing a product, a user communication apparatus carried by a user, and a tool communication apparatus provided on a holding tool for holding the product. The tool communication apparatus transmits first notification information including a tool identifier indicating the holding tool when detecting that the holding tool is taken out from a display zone in which the holding tool is disposed. The user communication apparatus receives the first notification information from the tool communication apparatus, and transmits a user identifier indicating the user or the user communication apparatus and the first notification information to the product management apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220151404
    Abstract: A product management system includes a product management apparatus, a product wireless tag provided on the product and into which a product identifier indicating the product is written, a tool wireless tag provided on a holding tool for holding the product and into which a tool identifier indicating the holding tool is written, a display zone communication apparatus provided in a display zone in which at least one set of the product and the holding tool is disposed and having a wireless tag reader for reading the product identifier from the product wireless tag and reading the tool identifier from the tool wireless tag. The display zone communication apparatus transmits both the product identifier and the tool identifier read by the wireless tag reader to the product management apparatus. The product management apparatus links the holding tool and the product held by the holding tool with each other.

  • Patent number: 10423269
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided with a touch panel of a capacitive type and a controller. The controller, based on a detection value of the touch panel, detects capacitance generated between the touch panel and a contact object and detects, as a contact region, a first region having the capacitance smaller than a capacitance of the other region of the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 10228804
    Abstract: A mobile device includes an acceleration sensor, a touch screen and a controller. The acceleration sensor is capable of detecting a direction and a magnitude of acceleration acting on the mobile device. The touch screen is capable of measuring electrostatic distribution. The controller is capable of executing an estimation whether the mobile device is being immersed in water based on the electrostatic distribution. The controller periodically executes the estimation upon determining that the mobile device is moving in a direction opposite to a gravity direction based on the direction and the magnitude of the acceleration when estimating that the mobile device is being immersed in water.

  • Patent number: 10121456
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display configured to display an image, at least one sensor configured to acquire information, and at least one controller. The at least one controller is configured to detect a first area of the display in contact with water and a second area of the display not in contact with water, and adjust the image so that the image is within the second area when both the first area and the second area are detected.
