  • Publication number: 20230364466
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a controller that acquires, from an acceleration sensor, acceleration data corresponding to a motion state in a body-lateral direction orthogonal to a body axis of a user that is moving by legs of the user, and; derives velocity data based on the acceleration data and, also, derives an error of the velocity data based on an average value of the velocity data of a period that is a multiple of a first two-step cycle and an average value of the velocity data of a period that is a multiple of a second two-step cycle that directly precedes or follows the period that is a multiple of the first two-step cycle, and corrects the velocity data using the error of the velocity data to generate corrected velocity data.

  • Patent number: 9712656
    Abstract: A control system which can control a function of a device depending on the result of authentication of an external device that exists outside the device and prevent others from using the device without permission is provided. The control system includes a control device (100) which controls at least one function (1), and at least one external device (900-1 to n: n is an arbitrary integer) which exists outside the control device (100). The control device (100) authenticates the external devices (900-1 to n), and controls the function (1) depending on the number of authenticated devices which can be authenticated and the number of unauthenticated devices which can not be authenticated.

  • Patent number: 9344630
    Abstract: In a digital camera, when a photographer holds the digital camera and decides an imaging area (the area currently being captured by live-view), a CPU performs a first imaging processing (temporary imaging). Next, when the photographer sets the digital camera on a suitable surface (such as a desk), and moves into the imaging area, the CPU moves the optical zoom further to the wide-angle side than during the temporary imaging, and performs a second imaging processing (actual imaging) after a self-timer reaches time up. Then, the CPU performs positioning between the temporarily captured image and the actually captured image, and clips an image of the imaging area defined by the temporarily captured image from the actually captured image. According to the present invention, the degree of freedom of a camera setting location during self-timer imaging is increased and an image including an intended imaging area is easily captured.

  • Patent number: 8866584
    Abstract: To provide a control system capable of avoiding communication with an unintended external device when a number of external devices exist outside the device. A control system includes a control device 200 that controls at least one function, and at least one external device 900-1 to 900-n (n is an arbitrary integer) existing outside the control device 200. Further, the control device 200 counts a number of reception signals received from the external device 900-1 to 900-n and suspends communication with the external device 900-1 to 900-n according to the counted number of reception signals.

  • Patent number: 8665317
    Abstract: A digital camera captures at least photographic subjects intended to be positioned on left and right ends of a group photograph (temporary imaging), and prompts a user to designate the photographic subjects (may move) intended to be positioned on the left and right ends. Next, the digital camera, which has been placed on a suitable surface (such as on a desk), moves the optical zoom further to the wide-angle side than during the temporary imaging, and performs actual imaging when the self-timer reaches time up. Then, the digital camera identifies the photographic subjects designated by the temporary imaging within the actually captured image, and after determining the left, right, upper, and lower ends of a clipping area such that the identified photographic subjects are included, clips an image of the determined clipping area as a final image.

  • Patent number: 8572082
    Abstract: In a generation device, a term determiner, for reference terms and a similar meaning term that has similar meaning to any of the reference terms, determines if each of the reference terms and the similar meaning term are both included in a document data group. An extractor extracts a reference term and the similar meaning term of the reference term that were both determined to be included in the document data group. A priority determiner determines an output priority to the extracted similar meaning term on the basis of appearance of at least either of the similar meaning term and the reference term in the document data group. And a list generator generates a the similar meaning term list in such a way that the extracted reference term, the similar meaning term of the extracted reference term, and the output priority are associated with one another.

  • Patent number: 8200218
    Abstract: A function control information transmitter transmits function control information for controlling the function of a terminal device such as a mobile telephone. When the terminal device receives the function control information from the function control information transmitter, the terminal device analyzes the received function control information so as to control the function of the control object even without preparing in advance a correspondence table for controlling the function. Thus, it is possible to easily use the optimal function, application software, and a service in accordance the environment and the situation.
