  • Chewing detecting device
    Patent number: 10588548
    Abstract: A chewing detecting device includes: earphone-type external auditory meatus sensors which have a pair of a light emitting element and a light receiving element and in which the light receiving element receives reflective light of light emitted by the light emitting element into an external auditory meatus to output a voltage signal corresponding to a light receiving amount; association processing means associating an output signal of the external auditory meatus sensors with a motion of a jaw, and outputting a chewing signal showing that the jaw performs chewing; and chewing section sensing means which determines whether or not an output of the external auditory meatus sensors is based on the motion of the jaw (within a chewing section), and which invalidates the output of the association processing means when the output of the external auditory meatus sensors is not based on the motion of the jaw (without the chewing section).

  • Food taste reproduction system, food taste reproduction data conversion apparatus, and food taste reproduction method
    Patent number: 10973247
    Abstract: In a food taste reproduction system, a taste recognition device obtains the taste data obtained by quantifying the food taste. A first terminal converts the taste data into taste reproduction data on a component ratio of taste components for reproducing the food taste by combining a plurality of the taste components, the taste component containing a material providing at least one basic taste. The first terminal transmits the taste reproduction data to the server for storing. A second terminal receives the taste reproduction data via an Internet and outputs the taste reproduction data to a taste reproduction device. The taste reproduction device selects at least two taste components among a plurality of the taste components based on the taste reproduction data, and combines the selected taste components in accordance with the component ratio so as to obtain the taste reproduced material.

  • Free viewpoint picture data distribution system
    Patent number: 10462497
    Abstract: [TASK] To provide a recommended viewpoint to a user who is not familiar with a switching operation for switching a viewpoint of a free viewpoint motion image. [SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS] When a user gives a switching instruction for switching a viewpoint and a viewpoint direction by user terminals 3a to 3n?1, the switching instruction is sent to a distribution computer 2. The distribution computer 2 stores the switching instruction for each user ID and for each content ID. The distribution computer 2 generates recommended projection characteristic data on the basis of a plurality of switching instructions for free viewpoint motion image data corresponding to its content ID. When a new distribution request for data corresponding to the content ID is received from the user terminal 3n, the distribution computer 2 distributes recommended projection characteristic data together with free viewpoint motion image data.
