  • Publication number: 20230334523
    Abstract: A first user terminal obtains content related to a product or service which is handled in a store. A server device issues a key to the first user terminal. The first user terminal posts content into which the issued key is inserted on a social networking service. A second user terminal displays the posted content. A store terminal reads the content displayed in the second user terminal. The server device gives a reward to the first user when the key is extracted from the read content.

  • Patent number: 11573124
    Abstract: A spectral image capturing method using a spectral camera control device installed in aircraft, the method comprising: a) setting an exposure time of the spectral camera so that a current exposure time is determined (S2), b) determining whether or not either an amount of attitude change or an amount of position change of the spectral camera per exposure time exceeds a predetermined threshold based on a spatial resolution of the spectral camera (S4), c1) when exceeding the predetermined threshold, resetting the current exposure time to be shorter (S5), c2) when not exceeding the predetermined threshold, not resetting the current exposure time to be shorter, and d) capturing a spectral image in a snapshot mode with the spectral camera using the reset exposure time, wherein when the transmission wavelength of the liquid crystal tunable filter is switched while the aircraft is in a stationary flight, steps b) to d) are repeated.

  • Patent number: 11542035
    Abstract: A spectral camera control device, being installed, along with a spectral camera provided with a liquid crystal tunable filter, in an aircraft capable of stationary flight. The spectral camera control device causes the spectral camera to capture a spectral image in a snapshot mode each time a transmission wavelength of the liquid crystal tunable filter is switched while the aircraft is in stationary flight, and the spectral camera control device causes a plurality of spectral images to be captured in succession at a same transmission wavelength when an SN ratio of the captured spectral image is less than a predetermined threshold.
