The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes comprising specifying, a plurality of times, a position of an ultrasonic wave transmission source on a workpiece based on ultrasonic waves, setting a first stitch pattern and a sewing position of the first stitch pattern, based on a plurality of specified positions, causing the projector to project an image that shows the first stitch pattern onto the workpiece in the sewing position, creating first stitch pattern data for sewing the first stitch pattern in the sewing position, and causing, based on the first stitch pattern data, the moving mechanism to move the workpiece and the needle bar mechanism to move the needle up and down.

Abstract: A sewing machine includes a position acquisition device, a projection device, a processor, and a memory. The position acquisition device is configured to acquire information describing at least one designated position, each of the at least one designated position being a position on a sewing workpiece. The projection device is configured to project an image onto the sewing workpiece. The memory is configured to store non-transitory computer-readable instructions that instruct the processor to execute a step that includes specifying the at least one designated position on the sewing workpiece described by the information acquired by the position acquisition device. The memory is also configured to store non-transitory computer-readable instructions that instruct the processor to execute a step that includes causing the projection device to project a visually recognizable marker onto the sewing workpiece, based on the specified at least one designated position.

Abstract: A telephone apparatus includes a storage unit, a display unit, a retrieving unit and a display control unit. The storage unit is configured to store a plurality of images therein. The display unit is configured to display at least one of the plurality of images. The retrieving unit is configured to retrieve a relating image from the images stored in the storage unit when an outgoing call is made to or an incoming call is received from other telephone apparatus through a telephone line. The relating image relates to a corresponding image associated with the other party of the outgoing or incoming call. The display control unit configured to perform control to display at least one of the corresponding image and the retrieved relating image on the display unit.

Abstract: In a head mounted display, when it is determined that a hand of a user is in a field angle, the head mounted display starts the playing of main manual information. When a standard time elapses after starting the playing of the main manual information without the determination that the hand of the user is not included in the field angle, the playing of the main manual information is switched to the playing of sub manual information. When it is determined that the hand of the user is not included in the field angle in a state where the playing of the main manual or the sub manual is underway, the playing of the main manual information or the sub manual operation underway is finished.

Abstract: A projector has an antenna configured to transmit and receives information to and from a RFID circuit element including an IC circuit part configured to store and hold address information of an electronic file and device information about devices capable of executing a processing operation, and a projection control part and a control circuit configured to generate access information, transmit it to the RFID circuit element, acquire device information from its reply signal, and acquire file information based on the acquired device information.

Abstract: An image reproducing apparatus sets event information including date of an event and retrieves a related image from images stored in a storing device on the basis of the event information. The image reproducing apparatus calculates an event waiting period from present date to the date of the event, determines display ratio for inserting the retrieved related image into images to be reproduced on the basis of the event waiting period, and displays an event related image group obtained by inserting the related image into the images to be reproduced at the display ratio.

Abstract: A telephone apparatus includes a storage unit, a display unit, a retrieving unit and a display control unit. The storage unit is configured to store a plurality of images therein. The display unit is configured to display at least one of the plurality of images. The retrieving unit is configured to retrieve a relating image from the images stored in the storage unit when an outgoing call is made to or an incoming call is received from other telephone apparatus through a telephone line. The relating image relates to a corresponding image associated with the other party of the outgoing or incoming call. The display control unit configured to perform control to display at least one of the corresponding image and the retrieved relating image on the display unit.

Abstract: A situation presentation system includes a terminal and a server. The terminal includes a situation data acquisition device that acquires situation data and a terminal transmission device that transmits the situation data to the server. The server includes a server situation data storage device that stores the situation data transmitted from the terminal, a content storage device that stores a content including a character string, a condition determination device that analyzes the character string included in the content to determine a situation data condition, a situation data extraction device that extracts the situation data that satisfies the situation data condition from the server situation data storage device, a content update device that stores the analyzed content into the content storage device after adding at least one of edited data and the extracted situation data to the content, and a presentation device that presents the content.

Abstract: An operation processing apparatus that can utilize a RFID tag in an operation to an operation target with high convenience is provided. A search device has an antenna configured to carry out information transmission/receiving to a RFID circuit element provided with an IC circuit part storing information and an antenna connected to it and a communication control part, through which preference information of a user stored in the IC circuit part, respectively, or information corresponding to that is acquired, and on the basis of an acquired plurality of pieces of preference information of user, a desired logical expression for search is created, and a search signal for execution of a search using the logical expression for search is outputted.

Abstract: A status communication system includes a plurality of first status communication terminals, a status collection terminal that communicates with the plurality of first status communication terminals, and a server that communicates with the status collection terminal via a network.
