  • Patent number: 11812326
    Abstract: A check-in determination apparatus 1 configured to determine check-in indicating that a terminal 2 has entered a geofence which is a prescribed geographic area includes: a related geofence information storage unit 12 configured to store related geofence information in which a related geofence which is another geofence is correlated with each geofence on the basis of a distance to the geofence; a check-in determination unit 14 configured to determine check-in of the terminal 2 sequentially with respect to each of the geofences. When it is determined that the terminal 2 has checked into one geofence, the check-in determination unit 14 excludes the related geofence correlated with the one geofence in the related geofence information stored by the related geofence information storage unit 12 from determination targets in subsequent determination.

  • Publication number: 20230030655
    Abstract: An occupational therapy support device disclosed includes: an input data reception unit that receives an input of input data including sleep data of the subject of occupational therapy evaluation and excluding basic data of the subject; an estimation unit that inputs the received input data to a trained artificial intelligence to cause the artificial intelligence to estimate activity of daily living data of the subject and the physical function data of the subject; and an estimated data output unit that outputs the data estimated by the artificial intelligence. The sleep data is data of an item regarding sleep and including at least one of information on pulse, information on respiration, and information on body movements. The activity of daily living data is data of an item regarding activity of daily living and including data evaluated in plural levels on at least one of evaluation items defined in Functional Independence Measure.

  • Patent number: 11432111
    Abstract: A server performs: acquiring measurement data of a mobile terminal; extracting fixed AP measurement data of a specific fixed AP; extracting measurement data including a measurement time of which a difference from the measurement time in the fixed AP measurement data is equal to or less than a threshold value, position information of which a difference from a position of the specific fixed AP is equal to or less than a threshold value, and a reception intensity of which a difference from the reception intensity in the fixed AP measurement data is equal to or less than a threshold value as target measurement data and to set the radio access point corresponding to the target measurement data as a target AP; and determining whether the target AP corresponds to a fixed AP on the basis of the measurement data corresponding to the target AP and the fixed AP measurement data.

  • Patent number: 7941128
    Abstract: A data backup system includes a mobile device, a data storing apparatus for backup-saving user data used in the mobile device, and a user management apparatus for managing user information about a user using the mobile device, where the device and apparatuses communicate with each other. When the mobile device is a replacement for an old mobile device, the user management apparatus stores and manages a device ID of the mobile device in association with an old device ID of the old mobile device and personal identification information of a user using the mobile device and who has used the old mobile device. When downloading old user data previously used in the old mobile device from the data storing apparatus, the mobile device creates and transmits a user data acquiring request message with an old device user data acquiring request flag activated to the data storing apparatus.
