  • Publication number: 20220076161
    Abstract: The prediction accuracy of prediction models generated by ensemble learning is enhanced. A computer system configured to generate a prediction model for predicting an event includes: a storage unit configured to store a plurality of training data including a plurality of sample data including values of a plurality of feature variables and a prediction correct value of the event; and a prediction model generating unit configured to generate a plurality of prediction models using the plurality of training data, to thereby generate a prediction model for calculating an ultimate predicted value on the basis of predicted values of the plurality of prediction models. Prediction models generated by applying the same machine learning algorithm to the plurality of training data are different from each other in features of the event that are reflected in the prediction models.

  • Patent number: 11226719
    Abstract: An information processing device, includes: a gesture detection unit that recognizes gestures by a user; an output information control unit that controls output information to a display unit; and a device control unit, wherein: if the gesture detection unit has detected that the user has raised a hand for a certain time period, then the output information control unit displays upon the display unit a plurality of candidates for selection in association with gestures for operation; and if the gesture detection unit has detected a predetermined gesture by the user, the device control unit considers that, among the candidates for selection displayed upon the display unit, a candidate corresponding to the gesture that has been detected has been selected.

  • Patent number: 10528150
    Abstract: An in-vehicle device comprises a gesture defection unit, which recognizes a user's hand position located within a predetermined range, a driving state recognition unit which detects a driving state of a vehicle, and a gesture control unit which controls a state of a gesture operation based on a recognition result of the hand position by the gesture detection unit, wherein the gesture control unit disables the gesture operation when the driving state of the vehicle detected by the driving state recognition unit is in a predetermined disabling state.

  • Patent number: 10466800
    Abstract: An in-vehicle device includes a gesture detection unit for recognizing a user's hand at a predetermined range; an information control unit controlling information output to a display; and an in-vehicle device control unit receiving input from a control unit equipped in a vehicle to control the in-vehicle device. When the gesture detection unit detects a user's hand at a predetermined position, the output information control unit triggers the display to display candidates of an operation executed by the in-vehicle device control unit by associating the candidates with the user's hand motions. When the gesture detection unit detects the user's hand, and the user's hand has thereafter moved from the position, the information control unit changes a selection method or a control guide of the operation to be executed by the in-vehicle device control unit, which is displayed on the display, to subject matter which matches the control unit.

  • Publication number: 20180232057
    Abstract: An information processing device configured from: a vehicle-mounted device control unit that controls the overall operation of a vehicle-mounted device; a sensing unit capable of measuring the distance to an object and capable of detecting gestures; and a display unit that displays video/images. The sensing unit continuously monitors to determine the distance at which objects are located in front of the display unit, and when the intrusion of the driver's hand into a prescribed region (1) in front of the display unit is detected, the sensing unit moves a prescribed icon (displayed on the display unit) toward the driver. Furthermore, when a speaker is provided, a sound effect or a sound is output from the speaker in conjunction with the movement of the icon. When the intrusion of the driver's hand into a region (2), which is closer to the display unit than the region (1), is detected, a lower-level menu associated with the icon is displayed in a fan-like manner, and a sound effect is output from the speaker.

  • Patent number: 9696814
    Abstract: It is possible to operate a device while reducing erroneous recognition of a device even when a line of sight does not face the device in an accurate direction. An information processing device that detects a motion of a user includes a detecting unit that detects the motion of the user and a face direction of the user from an image photographed by an imaging unit, a detected motion determining unit that determines whether or not the motion detected by the detecting unit is an operation on the information processing device based on the face direction of the user and position information of the information processing device stored in a storage unit, and a display content control unit that causes a display unit to reflect the motion when the detected motion determining unit determines that the motion detected by the detecting unit is the operation on the information processing device.
