  • Patent number: 11720139
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing device including: at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory; and a timer that repeatedly and continuously counts a setting time. The processor acquires data indicating a battery state, judges occurrence of an event, executes processing based on data acquired in the setting time when judging that the event has not occurred between start and end of counting for one setting time, and executes at least one of a first operation of performing the processing based on data from the counting start to a stop timing based on the event occurrence and a second operation of performing the processing based on data from a start timing based on an event occurrence timing to end of counting for one setting time when judging that the event has occurred between the start and the end of the counting.

  • Patent number: 11481011
    Abstract: An input terminal connected to both a terminal of the first device outputting a signal including a period of a low voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined period and a terminal of the second device outputting a periodic signal alternately repeating a high voltage and a low voltage less than the predetermined period via one signal line is included. When a signal input to the input terminal includes a period of a low voltage greater than or equal to the predetermined period, it is determined that a signal output from the first device is input.

  • Patent number: 11145310
    Abstract: To provide an electronic device, which is carried by a user and is provided with a voice input unit, provided with a detection unit detecting a proximity state of the electronic device and the user and a control unit controlling the detection sensitivity of a voice input unit according to a detection result by the detection unit. Preferably, the detection unit detects a wearing state of the electronic device by the user and, when a non-wearing state where is detected by the detection unit, the control unit increases the detection sensitivity of the voice input unit to be higher than the detection sensitivity of the voice input unit in the wearing state.

  • Patent number: 11048322
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first processor, a second processor, and a positioning processor. The second processor consumes a reduced amount of power compared to the first processor during an operation. The positioning processor receives radio waves from positioning satellites and converts the radio waves into positioning data. The second processor controls the positioning processor. The second processor stores the positioning data received from the positioning processor. The second processor transfers the stored positioning data to the first processor at a timing determined in accordance with an operating condition of the first processor.

  • Patent number: 4675765
    Abstract: A magnetic recording and/or reproducing element comprises a main element body, and windings wound around the main element body. The main element body has a pair of extremely thin layers made from a ferromagnetic material, and the extremely thin layers oppose each other at respective edges thereof so as to constitute a gap. Each of the thin layers are sandwiched between a pair of support members which are made from a non-magnetic and abrasion proof material. A contact surface is formed on a vertex part of the main element body, for making contact with a magnetic recording medium so as to record and/or reproduce a signal on and/or from the magnetic recording medium. The main element body has one or a plurality of side surfaces which form a predetermined angle with respect to the contact surface and define the peripheral edge of the contact surface so that the contact surface has a predetermined shape with an extremely small area and has the gap at an approximate center of the predetermined shape.
