Publication number: 20250139537Abstract: A system includes a hotel server managed by a hotel, and a terminal possessed by a user. The terminal includes a storage unit and an advance check-in control unit. The storage unit stores reservation information of the hotel including a start date of stay and reservation holder identifying information that identifies a reservation holder of the hotel in association with each other. The advance check-in control unit asks the user to agree to provide the reservation holder identifying information to the hotel server a predetermined period before the start date of stay. When the user agrees to provide the reservation holder identifying information, the advance check-in control unit transmits the reservation holder identifying information to the hotel server as hotel guest identifying information that identifies a hotel guest staying at the hotel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2022Publication date: May 1, 2025Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Fumiya IGARASHI, Haruka SATO, Tomohiro YAMAGUCHI, Yusuke MIYAMOTO, Saki KATO

Patent number: 10756364Abstract: There is provided a fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell including an electrolyte membrane, an anode and a cathode; and a controller configured to control a fuel gas supply part and an oxidizing gas supply part to supply amounts of a fuel gas and an oxidizing gas corresponding to a required power, to the fuel cell. During an intermittent operation that has the required power equal to or lower than a predetermined value and stops power generation in the fuel cell, the controller estimates a crossover amount that is an amount of the fuel gas moved from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte membrane. The controller also calculates a supply amount of the oxidizing gas that is an amount of the oxidizing gas to be supplied to the fuel cell, based on the estimated crossover amount and controls the oxidizing gas supply part to supply the calculated supply amount of the oxidizing gas to the fuel cell.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yusuke Miyamoto, Tomotaka Ishikawa, Atsuo Iio
