Abstract: An aerial vehicle operation system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle in which a cable is connected, a processor, a fulcrum position adjustment mechanism, and a cable winding device. The processor determines a fulcrum position at which to support the cable to be above the unmanned aerial vehicle and to be on an extended line in a direction within a prescribed scope of angles with respect to a reference extension direction in the unmanned aerial vehicle. The processor determines control information about an operation of an arm of a crane that changes a position of a cable support included in the crane, and a length of a cable from the fulcrum position to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The fulcrum position adjustment mechanism controls an operation of the arm using the control information. The cable winding device changes a length of the cable using the determined length of the cable.

Abstract: An uniaxial acceleration sensor senses an acceleration. An analog to digital (AD) converter converts the acceleration into a digital sensor value. A square-value calculating unit calculates a square value of the sensor value. A zero-point determining unit determines whether the square value is zero and every time the square value becomes zero, instructs an energy calculating unit to output energy. The energy calculating unit calculates the energy by integrating the square value. Upon receiving instructions to output the energy, the energy calculating unit outputs the stored energy to a threshold comparing unit. The threshold comparing unit compares the energy with a predetermined threshold. A tentative walking processing unit counts the number of times the energy is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold. A step calculating unit calculates steps by dividing a counter value of the tentative walking processing unit by two.
