Abstract: There is realized an imaging device that monitors a communication status or the like, and executes switching processing from an MSC mode to a PTP mode in a case where a pre-defined condition is satisfied. There is provided a control unit configured to execute switching processing between a PTP communication mode applied with a PTP protocol, and an MSC mode, which is a communication mode according to a mass storage class (MSC). For example, in a case where MSC mode communication processing has not been executed for a specified time or more, a case where a movement indicating start of image capturing is detected, or the like, the control unit executes switching processing from the MSC mode to the PTP mode. After switching to the PTP mode, it is possible to execute imaging by inputting an image capturing control command from a host device.

Abstract: There is provided an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit that captures a moving image and a communication unit that performs wireless communication. The imaging apparatus further includes a control unit that controls an imaging function and a transmission function for transmitting an image signal indicating a captured image that has been captured, on the basis of a time setting set in advance. The control unit at least controls switching between a standby state where the imaging function is not working and an operating state where the imaging function is working, based on the time setting.

Abstract: An imaging device for use on-board a reconnaissance vehicle comprises an image capturing unit configured to capture images of a photographic area. A control unit communicates via a serial communications interface with a control body unit of the reconnaissance vehicle, and operates in an image photographing mode that receives control information from the control body unit of the reconnaissance vehicle via the serial communications interface and in an image transfer mode that transfers the images to the control body unit of the reconnaissance vehicle via the serial communications interface in accordance with a data transfer protocol. The control unit responds to detecting mode switching conditions to switch autonomously from the image photographing mode to the image transfer mode. Only a single serial communications interface is needed both to control the imaging device and to transfer the captured images from the imaging device in the image transfer mode.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, method and computer program product estimate position information of the information processing apparatus. A positioning unit determines a position. A storage unit stores positional information obtained by the positioning unit. An estimating unit estimates, when it is determined that the positioning unit does not receive information to perform positioning, an estimated distance of a movement in a first period T1 in which the positioning is not performed. A controller updates the positional information stored in the storage unit when the estimated distance exceeds a threshold value corresponding to the first period T1.
