  • Publication number: 20250060119
    Abstract: The air conditioner includes an indoor unit including a main body having formed therein a blow-out port and a microphone element that accepts a voice instruction. The blow-out port is formed to extend with a longitudinal direction thereof corresponding to a second direction. The indoor unit includes a fan and an inverter fan motor that drives the fan. The fan is accommodated in the main body and a rotational axis of the fan extends in the second direction, and the fan motor is disposed on one side of an inside of the main body in the second direction and is disposed on one side of the fan in the second direction. The voice capturing portion is disposed on an opposite side of the main body as the side on which the fan motor is disposed in the second direction.

  • Patent number: 11294994
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) card of an embodiment includes a communicator, a storage storing biometric authentication information, an acquirer, and a processor. The communicator communicates with a terminal device. The acquirer acquires biometric information of a user. The processor collates the biometric information of the user acquired by the acquirer with the biometric authentication information stored in the storage and stores a collation result into the storage at an activation time.

  • Patent number: 10032105
    Abstract: An IC card includes a communication unit and a controller. The communication unit can communicate with one communication destination by a plurality of interfaces including a first interface and a second interface. The controller processes a command received by the communication unit, and makes the communication unit transmit a response to the command. In a case where the first interface becomes unavailable after the communication unit receives the command by the first interface until the communication unit transmits the response to the command, the controller makes the communication unit transmit a response containing discontinuation information indicating that the transmission of the response to the command received by the first interface is discontinued by the second interface.
