  • Patent number: 7522051
    Abstract: Provided according to the invention is a recording control apparatus capable of more accurately recording an image of a person carrying an article to which an RFID tag is attached. When a reader/writer receives position information on an RFID tag attached to an article, this information is stored in an article information storing section. When a position determining unit detects an article located out of a designated area, a monitoring camera control section starts controlling recording. The monitoring camera control section estimates the movement direction of the article based on the time-sequential record of the position information on the article, specifies any of monitoring cameras to be operated based on the movement direction and the current position of the article, and controls the recording operation of the specified monitoring camera.

  • Patent number: 7283034
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting a specific object (such as a hand) excellent in operation reliability and response, further excellent in mountability (dominance such as in size and design) on a vehicle, and much less in power consumption than conventional impulse radars. The object sensor comprises detecting wave transmitting means and reflected wave receiving means of an impulse radar and a judging circuit part (40) for turning on the detection output when the amplitude level of a signal component, in a frequency range corresponding to the moving speed range of a specific object, of a signal received by the reflected wave receiving means lies in a predetermined range corresponding to the reflection characteristics of the specific object.
