Abstract: There is provided a sensor device capable of operating and reducing electric power consumption effectively, in response to sensing data of a state of the hitting tool used by the user, the sensor device including: a sensor unit configured to directly or indirectly detect sensing data indicating a motion and an orientation of a hitting tool, a communication unit configured to transmit the sensing data detected by the sensor unit to an external device, and a control unit configured to control operation of the sensor unit and the communication unit. The control unit or the sensor unit changes at least one of the sensor unit and the control unit to an electric power saving mode, upon detecting that the hitting tool has a specific orientation for a certain amount of time.

Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing device, a control method, and a program capable of providing navigation suited to a user for experiencing multiple events having time and location conditions. [Solution] Provided is an information processing device, including: a decision unit that decides, in accordance with location information and a user profile, navigation for experiencing a plurality of events having a time condition and a location condition; and a notification control unit that controls a notification of the decided navigation.

Abstract: A disc transport apparatus for detecting a disc-shaped recording medium with specified diameter, transporting the disc-shaped recording medium to a chucking position, but not transporting a disc-shaped recording medium with different diameter, when detected, to the chucking position includes a recording medium mount section capable of mounting a first disc having a first diameter and a second disc having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter, an optical detection unit that uses a light receiving section for receiving reflected light from a detection target in response to light emitted from a light emitting section and that is provided at a position opposite a disc having the first diameter when the disc is mounted on the recording medium mount section and at a position not opposite a disc having the second diameter when the disc is mounted on the recording medium mount section, and a control section for determining whether a disc is mounted based on a detection result of the optical detect

Abstract: A device has excellent usability and makes it possible to, for example, prevent damage to a disc-shaped recording medium and reliably transport the disc-shaped recording medium. The device includes first transporting means (6) and second transporting means (7) disposed on opposite sides of a disc-shaped recording medium (200) that is being transported for transporting the disc-shaped recording medium by being pushed against the outer peripheral surface of the disc-shaped recording medium from the opposite sides. The first transporting means includes a plurality of feed rollers (9) which are disposed apart from each other along a transportation path of the disc-shaped recording medium and which transport the disc-shaped recording medium while transferring it by independently and successively rolling on the outer peripheral surface of the disc-shaped recording medium.

Abstract: The invention provides a disk changer which is improved in convenience in use and functionality. The disk changer includes a rotatable tray having a plurality of annularly arranged accommodation portions, a tray rotating mechanism, first and second recording and/or reproduction sections each for recording and/or reproducing an information signal onto and/or from one of the disk-type recording media, and first and second disk takeout mechanisms each for taking out a disk-type recording medium accommodated in an accommodation portion of the rotatable tray and transporting the disk-type recording medium to the corresponding recording and/or reproduction section and for taking out the disk-type recording medium from the corresponding recording and/or reproduction section and transporting the disk-type recording medium to an accommodation portion of the rotatable tray.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data in and/or from memory cards used as recording media, each shaped like a plate and incorporating a memory. The apparatus comprises a storage section, a writing/reading section, and a transport mechanism. The storage section holds a plurality of memory cards. The writing/reading section writes and read data into and from the memory cards held in the storage section. The transport means moves either the storage section or the writing/reading section, so that data may be written into and read from the memories incorporated in the memory card that are held in the storage section. The transport means is driven, removing any selected card from the storage section, and data is read from or written into the card selected. The storage section is so designed that a part of the label on the memory card is seen from outside. The label can therefore be read, though the memory card is held in the storage section.
