20090262604 | LOCALIZATION SYSTEM, ROBOT, LOCALIZATION METHOD, AND SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION PROGRAM - To measure an accurate positional relationship between an ultrasonic tag and a microphone and identify a sound source position, even if an object is present between the ultrasonic tag and the microphone. When a radio transmission unit transmits a radio wave, an ultrasonic wave transmission unit of an ultrasonic tag receives it and transmits an ultrasonic wave. Then, a plurality of microphones in an ultrasonic wave reception array unit receive the ultrasonic wave. A propagation time calculation unit calculates a time from when the radio wave is transmitted by the radio transmission unit till when an ultrasonic wave reaches each of the microphones in the ultrasonic wave reception array unit. A position estimation unit calculates the position (sound source) of the ultrasonic tag according to the arrival time at each of the microphones and the result of object detection while considering reflection of the ultrasonic wave. | 10-22-2009 |
20100188188 | SENSING DEVICE AND SYSTEM, CONTROLLING METHOD AND CONTROL PROGRAM - A sensing device includes a situation acquisition unit acquiring information on situation of a site of interest sensed; a sensing range change unit changing sensing range of the situation acquisition unit; a position identification unit identifying position of the situation acquisition unit; and a sensing operation controlling unit which detects inhibited content, a subject of inhibition of transmission, from the information on the situation of the site of interest. If the inhibited content has been detected, the sensing operation controlling unit calculates position of the inhibited content based on the position identification information from the position identification unit. The sensing operation controlling unit controls the sensing range change unit, based on the position identification information including the position of inhibited content calculated, so that the position of inhibited content is not contained in the sensing range. An inhibited content detection unit outputs information on the site of interest to an operation terminal upon non-detection of inhibited content. | 07-29-2010 |

20110117537 | USAGE ESTIMATION DEVICE - Predicting a transition of usage of a user on a terminal device. A trajectory made by dividing operation history information of a user on the terminal device by time, calculating a group of feature amount representing the usage for each piece of the operation history information in each division section, and connecting points corresponding to the group of feature amount on a space based on the feature amount is referred to as a usage trajectory. A processing device | 05-19-2011 |
20110125700 | USER MODEL PROCESSING DEVICE - A model to predict a transition of a user's usage for a terminal device is generated from an operation record. A usage cluster generating unit ( | 05-26-2011 |
20110199491 | CALIBRATION INDEX DETERMINATION DEVICE, CALIBRATION DEVICE, CALIBRATION PERFORMANCE EVALUATION DEVICE, SYSTEM, METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Disclosed is a system to determine whether calibration indices are appropriate for each camera when calibrating large quantities of cameras, in which there is great variation in individual differences in image blurring characteristics. The present invention takes an image of a calibration index and calculates the calibration precision that can be expected in calibration from the calibration index image that has been taken. If the calibration precision that can be expected is not optimal for each camera, the density of lines or shapes that constitute the calibration index is changed until the optimum calibration index for each camera is found. | 08-18-2011 |
20140089476 | NETWORK SETTING CHANGE METHOD AND SYSTEM THEREOF, AND TERMINALS WHICH ARE USED WITH SAID SYSTEM - The present invention is provided to implement an automated setting change of network setting items on an ad hoc network which does not have a specific base station. A method of changing network setting for changing setting of a network where a plurality of terminals are connected, the method including the steps of: a request source terminal transmitting a request for setting change to a selected representative terminal; the selected representative terminal, upon receiving the request for setting change, transmitting a request for permission to at least a majority of representative terminals; the selected representative terminal transmitting a success notification to the request source terminal upon receiving a notification of permission from the majority of representative terminals in response to the request for permission; the request source terminal transmitting, to the plurality of terminals, an execution instruction including at least a content of setting change, upon receiving the success notification; and the terminal which has received the execution instruction changing the setting according to the content of setting change. | 03-27-2014 |
20150043381 | RADIO COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK, AND NETWORK PARTICIPATION METHOD - [Problem] A mobile ad hoc network (referred to as a “network” below) including the communication terminals (referred to as a “terminal” below) for cognitive radio communication in Patent Literature 1 has a problem that it takes time for the terminal to newly participate in the network. | 02-12-2015 |
