  • Publication number: 20230342490
    Abstract: A display control apparatus (2000) detects, by using audio data including a sound around a display device (10), a first situation where target information being displayed by the display device (10) can be viewed by a person other than a specific person (30), or detects, by using image data including surroundings of the display device (10), a second situation where the target information being displayed by the display device (10) can be captured by a camera. The display control apparatus (2000) changes an output state of the target information in the display device (10) in response to detection of the first situation or the second situation. A change of the output state is processing of stopping output of the target information or processing of reducing visibility of the target information as compared with visibility before a change.

  • Publication number: 20230291654
    Abstract: A network apparatus (2000) includes a port (20). A target apparatus (10) is connected to the port (20). The network apparatus (2000) computes a communication feature value related to communication between the target apparatus (10) and the port (20). The network apparatus (2000) determines whether a communication feature value computed for the target apparatus (10) and a communication feature value predetermined for a specific apparatus match each other. The network apparatus (2000) performs predetermined control processing when it is determined that the communication feature value for the target apparatus and the communication feature value for the specific apparatus do not match each other.

  • Patent number: 8265381
    Abstract: To provide a sign authentication system and method for authenticating the originality of an object having a sign such as a seal or a signature or a pattern which can be deemed as a sign, making counterfeit very difficult even if the mechanism of authentication is revealed, obviating the need for being additionally provided with a special device such as an IC chip used for authenticating the originality. A sign authentication system provides reading a sign such as a personal seal impression as color information for each mesh division, extracting feature points from the color information and storing them, and creating a code for authentication from the feature points. The sign is made with an ink containing color material particles smaller than the mesh division. The feature points on the basis of variation of color information caused are extracted when the mesh division is shifted.

  • Patent number: 7828919
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component can prevent the occurrence of bubble trapping. In the method, when an external layer ceramic green sheet is pressure-bonded, for example, to a sheet made of a good quality paper having a rough surface, which is placed on a supporting member, followed by peeling off its carrier film, a first-layer ceramic green sheet is formed. The first-layer external layer ceramic green sheet uses a sterically hindered dispersing agent, such as an aryl ether polymer, as a dispersing agent. Since it is light in weight, the binder segregates at the upper side, and hence a C concentration changes in the thickness direction. More particularly, compared to a C concentration at a surface at a carrier film side supported by the carrier film, a C concentration at an open surface opposite to the surface at the carrier film side is about 1.5 to about 4.0 times.
