  • Patent number: 11091865
    Abstract: A computer is used to obtain arrival time required for a user of a washing machine to arrive at an installation position of the washing machine based on a position of the user and the installation position, and when it is determined that the washing machine is performing washing based on operation information of the washing machine, when the arrival time is longer than washing completion time required for the washing machine to complete washing, to transmit instruction infomiation for adding a process of soaking laundry in water by the washing machine or for changing time in the process to the washing machine.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10934657
    Abstract: A washing machine includes: a drum that rotates with a washing or drying object contained in the drum; a motor that rotationally drives the drum; a controller that controls rotation of the motor; and an electric current measurer that measures an electric current value representing an electric current flowing in the motor. The controller controls the rotation of the motor to rotate the drum less than one turn, and in accordance with the measured electric current value, detects whether a foreign object that is different from the object and whose mass is greater than an expected mass of the object is inside the drum. In a case where the controller detects the foreign object, the controller stops operation of the washing machine.

  • Patent number: 9032401
    Abstract: When a process judging unit judges that a target process is a protected process, a key judging unit judges whether a target key that is a key generated by a key generating unit is a first key or a second key. When the key judging unit judges that the target key is the first key, a VM communication managing unit notifies the target process of a memory ID of a protected memory region corresponding to the first key. When the process judging unit judges that the target process is an unprotected process, a key transforming unit transforms the target key from the first key to the second key based on the key transformation rule. An HV communication managing unit notifies the target process of a memory ID of an unprotected memory region corresponding to the second key.

  • Publication number: 20130117745
    Abstract: When a process judging unit 109 judges that a target process is a protected process 101, a key judging unit 111 judges whether a target key that is a key generated by a key generating unit 108 is a first key or a second key. When the key judging unit 111 judges that the target key is the first key, a VM communication managing unit 112 notifies the target process of a memory ID of a protected memory region 121 corresponding to the first key. When the process judging unit 109 judges that the target process is an unprotected process, a key transforming unit 110 transforms the target key from the first key to the second key based on the key transformation rule. An HV communication managing unit 105 notifies the target process of a memory ID of an unprotected memory region 122 corresponding to the second key.
