  • Patent number: 11628805
    Abstract: A mobile device is carried by a person to be authenticated. An acceleration sensor is installed in the mobile device and configured to output an acceleration signal corresponding to acceleration applied to the mobile device. A processing device is configured to execute determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal. A control device is configured to control transmission of a radio signal, and to control an operation of a controlled device based on a result of the determination processing and a result of authentication processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device. The determination processing is activated in response to reception of the radio signal by the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20230037994
    Abstract: There is provided a learning device, including a learning unit that learns output related to a target feature point to be observed in a repetition section observed periodically, with the use of the first sensor data being acquired by the first system and having a time length corresponding to the repetition section, as learning data, and of teacher data based on the second sensor data acquired by the second system at a time point when a specific period of time has elapsed since a start time point of the time length related to the first sensor data, the second system being less affected by noises than the first system, in which the specific period of time is set on the basis of a time length from a start time point of the repetition section to a time point at which the target feature point is expected to appear.

  • Patent number: 11447098
    Abstract: A mobile device is carried by a person to be authenticated. An acceleration sensor is installed in the mobile device and configured to output an acceleration signal corresponding to acceleration applied to the mobile device. A processing device is configured to execute determination processing for determining whether the person is walking based on the acceleration signal. A control device is configured to control operation of a controlled device based on a result of the determination processing and a result of processing for authenticating, by way of the mobile device, the person as a user of the controlled device. The control of the controlled device based on the authentication processing is disabled from time when the determination processing is initiated by the processing device until when a determination as to whether the person is walking is initially made.

  • Patent number: 4005530
    Abstract: A training device including a slide projector and a magnetic audio reproducing device is disclosed. The projector is provided with a code reader for reading a code on a film for each image frame. The code indicates the address number of the frame and the information contained in the frame. The training device includes an operating circuit connected with the code reader for addressing the various image frames. A group of switches operated by a student is connected in the operating circuit to provide an answer signal and a frame address number-signal to the operating circuit. A controller circuit is connected with the operating circuit and responsive to a signal from the operating circuit to operate a film drive circuit. The operating circuit controls the film drive circuit through the controller circuitry for selecting and bringing an appropriate subsequent frame of the film to the projection station depending on which of the group of switches is operated by the student.
