  • Patent number: 10582153
    Abstract: In an information providing terminal, a half mirror, which reflects display content of a third display panel toward an operator and causes incident light of a third camera to pass therethrough, is obliquely attached to a part above a fourth display panel by 45° with respect to a horizontal direction. The third camera is disposed behind the half mirror. The operator has a conversation with a user while viewing a facial picture of the user which is projected by the third display panel and is reflected in the half mirror. The third camera disposed at a back of the half mirror images a facial picture of the operator from the front over the half mirror. At this time, the facial picture of the operator, which faces the front, is projected onto a first display panel of an information displaying terminal.

  • Patent number: 10225650
    Abstract: By registering a set range and a sound type which are not subject to detection of an abnormal sound in advance, a PC performs an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is regarded as an abnormal sound, and does not perform an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is not regarded as an abnormal sound. That is, in a target area such as a hotel lobby, a sound output from a television provided therein, a water sound emitted by a fountain, and the like are no longer erroneously detected as an abnormal sound. Further, the PC forms the directivity of sound data in a direction toward an actual position corresponding to a designated position on an image of a sound pickup area displayed on a display.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photoconductor 8 which bears an image to be formed by exposure, a light emission part 600 which emits light for exposing the photoconductor 8 to the light, and a light quantity measuring part 700 which measures the quantity of the light emitted from the light emission part 600 and outputs a light quantity measuring signal. The light quantity measuring signal of the light quantity measuring part 700 is sent through an engine control part 42 to a controller 41, and the quantity of the light emitted from the light emission part 600 is controlled so that the light quantity measuring signal becomes a predetermined value. Here, a sign indicating inclination (change rate) of the light quantity measuring signal of the light quantity measuring part 700 for temperature is matched with a sign indicating inclination (change rate) of sensitivity of the photoconductor 8 for temperature.
