  • Publication number: 20190004699
    Abstract: A terminal device is provided which is capable of making a key display with which a user makes an input easily. A hover position detection unit measures a distribution of a physical quantity indicating a degree of approach of an operation finger to a touch panel, and detects a hover position from the distribution of the physical quantity. A target key identification unit identifies, as a target key, a key corresponding to a display region including coordinates of the hover position. A user assistance display control unit generates a display control signal indicating that an assistance display that represents the target key is to be displayed at a different position from a display position of the target key. A display makes a screen display in accordance with the display control signal.

  • Patent number: 10129030
    Abstract: A wearable device generates a temporary ID, generates an encrypted user ID, and transmits the temporary ID and the encrypted user ID to a shop system. The shop system receives the temporary ID and the encrypted user ID, transmits a temporary ID corresponding to the received temporary ID and the encrypted user ID to a server, and transmits the temporary ID transmitted by an identifier transmission unit and waiting state information to the server. The server stores the user ID in association with an information delivery destination of the user ID, receives the encrypted user ID and the temporary ID, associates the temporary ID and the information delivery destination of the user ID, receives the temporary ID and the waiting state information, and transmits the waiting state information to the information delivery destination of the user ID corresponding to the temporary ID.

  • Patent number: 9779568
    Abstract: In a coin-operated locker, a short-range wireless communication unit receives UIM information, which is information for connection to a mobile communication network, from a wearable device by short-range wireless communication. A server communication unit communicates with an authentication server that holds authentication-relevant information by mobile communication using the UIM information. The server communication unit receives authentication information from the authentication server. An authentication unit performs authentication using the authentication information received from the authentication server and a locking control unit performs locking control on the basis of the authentication result from the authentication unit.

  • Publication number: 20170220791
    Abstract: A terminal device, an authentication information management method, and an authentication information management system for securing a security level of authentication information while maintaining the convenience for a user. A mobile device determines whether communication with a wearable device is possible and determines whether the mobile device is able to communicate with an authentication server. When it is determined that communication between the mobile device and the wearable device is possible and communication between the mobile device and the authentication server is possible, the mobile device transmits identification information corresponding to the wearable device to the authentication server, requests the authentication server to transmit authentication information, receives the authentication information from the authentication server in response to the transmission request, and transmits the received authentication information to the wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20150294645
    Abstract: A communication terminal includes: a screen; an operation acceptance unit; a communication establishment unit; a data transmitting unit that transmits determination image data currently being displayed on the local terminal to another terminal; a data receiving unit that receives determination image data from the other terminal; a relative position sensing unit; a data display region detection unit that acquires a user operation, senses a display position movement operation, and detects a data display region; and a display control unit that, when at least part of the data display region after the movement operation for the determination image data is included in a region that can be displayed on the screen of the local terminal, displays the determination image data in the data display region after the movement operation, only in the region that can be displayed on the screen of the local terminal.

  • Patent number: 5289447
    Abstract: A track cross signal generation circuit comprises a tracking error signal generation circuit, an offset compensation circuit, a level setting circuit, and a comparator. The comparator directly receives a tracking error signal output from the tracking error signal generation circuit without passing through the offset compensation circuit and a reference level output from the level setting circuit. Further, the comparator compares the tracking error signal with the reference level, and generates a track cross signal representing the tracks formed on an optical recording medium crossed by a beam. Namely, the gain of the tracking error signal is not affected by the offset compensation circuit even within a high-speed region of the beam. Consequently, the track zero cross signal correctly indicates tracks crossed by the beam, and correctly and stably carries out a seek operation in the high-speed region of the beam.
