  • Patent number: 12028725
    Abstract: A message relay apparatus and a message relay method that achieve high message reachability taking communication network situation into consideration are provided. A message relay apparatus 100 interposed between an application 20 and a device 30 includes a device communication state determination functional unit 131 that determines communication availability with the device 30, a network state estimation unit 133 that estimates a network state based on the communication availability, and a message processing unit 110 that determines forwarding availability of an application message based on the network state and buffers the application message when forwarding is not available.

  • Publication number: 20240169034
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: an authentication unit configured to authenticate a licensee who has obtained permission to use a digital twin of a party executing a performance; a sensing unit configured to collect sensing data during the performance of the party, identify a physical condition of the party using the sensing data, and estimate and capture emotions of the party based on the physical condition of the party; and an output unit configured to cause the digital twin of the party to explain the emotions of the party in real-time during the performance of the party.

  • Publication number: 20230394733
    Abstract: A processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires an instruction to specify a conscious behavior of a target that reproduces a behavior of a user, a determination unit that determines a parameter for reproducing an unconscious behavior corresponding to the conscious behavior specified by the instruction from unconscious parameter data in which an identifier of a conscious behavior of the user, an identifier of an unconscious behavior in the conscious behavior, and an index for specifying a parameter for reproducing the unconscious behavior are associated with each other, and an output unit that outputs a determined parameter to a drive unit TD of the target T, in which a parameter for reproducing the unconscious behavior varies depending on the conscious behavior.

  • Publication number: 20210229676
    Abstract: In order to enable support information to be presented at a timing that is appropriate for a user, a movement support information presentation control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention estimates an audio environment and a visual environment that surrounds the user in addition to a driving performance of the user and an operation state of a driving apparatus 2. In addition, based on these estimation results, suitability of information presentation is determined for each type of presentation sections 81 to 83 and, when it is determined that information presentation is not suitable, control is performed so as to postpone an information presentation operation by a corresponding presentation section.
