Patent number: 9881518Abstract: Technologies are generally described for controlling food intake. Example devices/systems described herein may include an image sensor, a dietary information identifier, a dietary management unit, and an image display unit. The image sensor may capture an image of a dish or a menu. The dietary information identifier may identify the dish or menu from the image and provide meal dietary information based on the identified dish or menu. The dietary management unit may store personal dietary information and determine combined dietary information based on the personal dietary information and the meal dietary information. The image display unit may process the captured image based on the combined dietary information in such a manner that a part of the captured image is hidden on an image display unit or a part of color or text information of the captured image is changed on the image display unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Noriaki Kuwahara, Tsutomu Miyasato, Rieko Kadobayashi, Koichi Nakayama, Noriaki Mitsunaga

Patent number: 9847030Abstract: Technologies are generally described for an automated external defibrillator (AED) dispatch system. In various examples, the AED dispatch system may include a receiver, a vehicle determination unit, and a transmitter. The receiver may be configured to receive, from a first device, a request message that includes first location information that indicates a location of the first device, and also receive, from one or more of second devices, one or more report messages, each of which includes second location information that indicates a location of the corresponding one of the second devices. The vehicle determination unit may be configured to select a vehicle to be dispatched based at least in part on the first location information and the respective second location information. The transmitter may be configured to transmit an instruction message to the second device associated with the selected vehicle to be dispatched.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Rieko Kadobayashi, Tsutomu Miyasato, Noriaki Kuwahara, Masataka Ohira, Noriaki Mitsunaga

Publication number: 20170111617Abstract: Technologies are generally described for identification of recorded image data. In various examples, a mobile device may include a receiver, a memory and a processor. The receiver may be configured to receive a signal transmission from a surveillance apparatus located proximate to the mobile device, and the signal transmission from the surveillance apparatus includes a camera ID. The processor may be configured to coordinate operation of the receiver and the memory to: store the camera ID received from the receiver in association with a timestamp in the memory; receive a request to identify at least one camera ID associated with a user specified criteria; and identify one or more camera IDs that substantially match the user specified criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2014Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Noriaki KUWAHARA, Tsutomu MIYASATO, Noriaki MITSUNAGA, Rieko KADOBAYASHI, Masataka OHIRA
