  • Patent number: 11422269
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus intended to address problems in which positioning devices simply equipped with a plurality of antennas will fail to perform the carrier positioning. The information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit and a processing unit. The receiving unit has a plurality of antennas located at second positions (Pa, Pb) and capable of receiving a carrier wave transmitted from a satellite. The processing unit performs positioning of a set first position (Po) on the basis of second phase information obtained by correcting first phase information of carrier waves respectively received by the plurality of the antennas.

  • Patent number: 10648997
    Abstract: A rotation rate detecting apparatus that includes a rotation rate calculating unit configured to calculate a rotation rate of a pedal in a riding apparatus having the pedal rotating by pedaling operation of a user, based on sensor information of an acceleration sensor. The rotation rate calculating unit calculates a rotation rate based on information corresponding to acceleration in a traveling direction of the riding apparatus or a roll direction with respect to the traveling direction in association with movement of the user or the riding apparatus.
