Patent number: 11904869Abstract: A monitoring system includes an arithmetic processor. The arithmetic processor receives captured image information representing a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a subject and generates notification information representing a particular notification content depending on a condition of the subject. The arithmetic processor includes a first arithmetic processor and a second arithmetic processor. The first arithmetic processor obtains a condition quantity by quantifying the condition of the subject by reference to the captured image information and based on a parameter about a human activity status. The second arithmetic processor selects, according to the condition quantity, the particular notification content from contents of notification classified into N stages, where N is an integer equal to or greater than three.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Nuvoton Technology Corporation JapanInventors: Yasuyuki Shimizu, Seiji Matsui, Naoya Tomoda, Fumihito Nakajima, Tomohiko Kanemitsu, Takuya Asano, Norihiro Imanaka, Seigo Suguta, Masanori Hirofuji

Patent number: 10281565Abstract: A distance measuring device using a TOF (Time of Flight) scheme includes a controller, a light receiver, and a calculator. The controller generates a first exposure signal, a second exposure signal, a third exposure signal, and one particular exposure signal selected from the first, the second, and the third exposure signals. The light receiver performs a first exposing process, a second exposing process, a third exposing process, and a particular exposing process corresponding to the particular exposure signal out of the first, the second, and the third exposing processes. The calculator determines, based on a difference between an exposure amount obtained from the particular exposing process and an exposure amount obtained from an exposing process according to one of the first, second, and the third exposure signals corresponding to the particular exposure signal, whether or not the light emitted from the distance measuring device interferes with light emitted from other distance measuring device.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Syoma Takahashi, Haruka Takano, Tomohiko Kanemitsu
