  • Publication number: 20260195499
    Abstract: Provided are a simulation device and a simulation method capable of coping with a bottleneck and obtaining a satisfactory human flow simulation result. A simulation device that simulates a human flow includes: a storage unit; and a control unit for simulation, in which the storage unit stores layout information and a human model that holds at least destination information indicating a destination in the layout information, and current position information, and the control unit determines a movement direction of the human model so as to avoid a region in front of a region where opposing persons having different destinations are lined up in succession.

  • Patent number: 12614006
    Abstract: A people flow estimation system uses input of movement model data to create movement demand data and estimate the flow of people inside a building using architectural model data. The people flow estimation system is characterized by identifying the names or uses of rooms in the building and the density of in-building personnel; recording occurrence distribution of movement demand inside the building with respect to a reference time; converting the architectural model data into layout data; calculating the number of in-building personnel in a room; and calculating movement demand data from the number of in-building personnel and the data from the recorded movement demand distribution.

  • Patent number: 12343625
    Abstract: A refresh rate switching method and an electronic device are provided. In the method, the electronic device dynamically switches a corresponding screen refresh rate by determining whether a current display image is a high frame rate scenario or a standard frame rate scenario. In the high frame rate scenario, a relatively high screen refresh rate is used to support a high display frame rate. In this way, a user can obtain experience of the high display frame rate, and the display image is smooth without motion blur. In the standard frame rate scenario, a default low screen refresh rate is used to reduce power consumption of an entire system.

  • Patent number: 12182736
    Abstract: An OD matrix estimation device includes: an extraction unit that, on the basis of intra-bank OD matrixes that show traffic flow information in respective elevator banks in plural elevator banks and transfer floor information about a transfer floor where transfers among the elevator banks is possible, extracts transfer-related intra-bank OD matrixes having a common transfer floor from among the intra-bank OD matrixes; a matching unit that, from among the transfer-related intra-bank OD matrixes extracted by the extraction unit, combines first transfer intra-bank OD matrixes each including OD data in which the transfer floor is defined as an arrival floor with second transfer intra-bank OD matrixes each including OD data in which the transfer floor is defined as a departure floor to create transfer-related OD data; and an estimation unit that estimates OD data for users who transfer and move among the banks.

  • Patent number: 11496619
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide methods, apparatuses, and terminal devices for managing communications services. In an implementation, a method comprises: identifying, by an input device of a terminal device, an operation performed on the terminal device for entering a service mode that prioritizes data services over voice services; sending, by a subscriber identification module (SIM) card of the terminal device, one or more instructions to a network server, wherein the one or more instructions instruct the network server to disable the voice services of the SIM card; and in response to identifying the operation, activating, by the SIM card, the service mode by disabling a function on the terminal device corresponding to the voice services.
