  • Publication number: 20240002181
    Abstract: Provided are a medium conveyance apparatus, control method, and control program to enable determining whether multi-feed of a medium has occurred by a greater precision. A medium conveyance apparatus includes a storage device to store in advance region information of a predetermined region in a medium, a feed roller to feed the medium, a slant detection module to detect an amount of slant of the fed medium, an overlap detection module to detect region information of a region in which overlap has occurred in the fed medium, a correction module to correct the detected region information based on the amount of slant, and a multi-feed determination module to determine that multi-feed of the medium has occurred if the corrected region information does not correspond to the stored region information and determine that multi-feed of the medium has not occurred if the corrected region information corresponds to the stored region information.

  • Patent number: 11461005
    Abstract: A control unit includes a posture detecting unit that detects inclination of an electronic device to a horizontal plane perpendicular to a gravitational direction by using output of a sensor mounted on the electronic device, and a position selecting unit that selects a position to display a touch operation area, which is an area for receiving a touch operation to the touch screen. The position selecting unit selects the position to display the touch operation area from a right position and a left position away from each other in a lateral direction of the touch screen based on the inclination (angle) of a lateral axis to the horizontal plane. According to this structure, when operating the electronic device having the touch screen with one hand, a user can display the touch operation area at an appropriate position by an intuitive operation.

  • Publication number: 20220207435
    Abstract: A provisional-check-in request data reception module 80 acquires location data indicating a location of a terminal used by a participant. A provisional-check-in processing execution module 82 updates, based on the location indicated by the location data and a location relating to a venue of an event, check-in status data of the participant included in reservation data to check-in status data indicating a provisionally-checked-in status. A check-in processing execution module 86 updates, in response to a check-in request received from any one of a plurality of participants, the check-in status data of another of the participants which is included in the reservation data and which is associated with the check-in status data indicating the provisionally-checked-in status, to the check-in status data indicating a checked-in status.

  • Patent number: 9619134
    Abstract: To provide an information processing device capable of ensuring not to execute processing not intended by a user in a case of stopping an ongoing operation after selecting an object (for example, in selecting again an object other than the object already selected, or the like). In a case where one of a user's designated position is included in a determination area based on the position of one of the plurality of objects displayed in a screen, an object moving unit moves the one object based on the one designated position. In a case where the object moving unit moves first and second objects, a collision determination unit determines whether or not the first and second objects have collided. A processing executing unit executes processing relevant to the first and second objects based on a result of determination by the collision determination unit.

  • Patent number: 9389766
    Abstract: An image display device includes an acquisition unit that, when an operation of enclosing an arbitrary region on a display screen is performed in response to sequential instruction inputs by a user, acquires position information indicating positions indicated by those instruction inputs, a recognition unit that specifies an enclosed region by a trajectory of the acquired position information and recognizes the enclosed region as a selected region, a determination unit that determines to zoom in an image displayed in an image display area with a zoom-in ratio determined based on the range of the selected region and the range of the image display area, and a display control unit that displays a zoomed-in transformed image with the determined zoom-in ratio in the display area with the center of the transformed image and the center of the image display area aligned.

  • Patent number: 9075852
    Abstract: To provide a search system for requesting a user to select any of a plurality of options and searching based on a result of selection by the user, capable of assisting the user so as to readily select an option. A selection screen display control unit (72) displays on a display unit a selection screen showing a plurality of lower node information items corresponding to a plurality of lower nodes positioned immediately below the current node in a tree structure in which a search condition and a node are correlated with each other. A search result screen display control unit (76) displays on the display unit a search result screen showing a list of information items satisfying a search condition corresponding to the nodes from the top node to the current node.

  • Patent number: 8963873
    Abstract: A data processing device includes an acquisition unit that, when, upon sequential instruction inputs by a user, an operation of enclosing an object displayed on a display screen with a trajectory of position information indicated by the instruction inputs is performed, acquires position information representing positions indicated by those instruction inputs, a recognition unit that recognizes the object as a selected object and further recognizes the direction of selection in which the selected object is enclosed, a determination unit that determines processing in accordance with the direction of selection, and an execution unit that executes the determined processing on the selected object. Processing desired by a user can be thereby made by simple instruction inputs such as selection of the direction of enclosing an object with a trajectory of a set of position information, and the selected processing can be executed on the selected object.

  • Patent number: 8952994
    Abstract: To provide an information processing device capable of enhancing convenience of a user using the information processing device by considering a dominant hand, habit, or the like, of the user without imposing on the user a task of inputting information of the user's dominant hand, habit, the like. In a case where it is determined that a user's designated position is included in a determination area corresponding to an object, the object is moved in accordance with movement of the designated position. In a case where at least one of one object and another object moves, processing relevant to the objects is executed based on a result of collision determination executed with respect to the objects.
