Abstract:
An authenticator of an interactive device authenticates a user. A speech urger urges the user to speak when the authenticator unsuccessfully authenticates the user. An interaction controller performs interaction according to the authenticated user when the authenticator successfully authenticates the user by voice of the user urged to speak.
Abstract:
Provided is a positioning apparatus for determining positions including: a distance acquisition unit configured to acquire pseudo-range information pieces indicating pseudo-ranges from the positioning apparatus to three positioning satellites; an altitude acquisition unit configured to acquire the altitude of the position of the positioning apparatus based on map information; a setting unit configured to set the altitude acquired by the altitude acquisition unit as a tentative altitude at the position of the positioning apparatus; and a positioning unit configured to perform a positioning process in a two-dimensional positioning method based on the pseudo-range information acquired by the distance acquisition unit, and the tentative altitude.
Abstract:
A marker evaluation system includes: a memory configured to store a program; and at least one processor configured to execute a program stored in the memory, in which the processor is configured to derive at least one of a comparison result obtained by comparing a decided marking result decided based on marking results by a plurality of markers for an identical answer of an identical answerer with a marking result by each of the plurality of markers for the identical answer, and a marking time required for each of the plurality of markers to mark the identical answer, and evaluate each of the plurality of markers based on the at least one of the comparison result and the marking time that has been derived.
Abstract:
A control unit monitors a state of captured image sequentially outputted by an image capturing unit. The control unit carries out a first determination that determines whether or not the state of a captured image satisfies a prescribed condition. When the result is that the prescribed condition is satisfied, the captured image is recorded in a recording unit. The control unit also carries out a second determination that determines whether or not the state of the captured image is appropriate for being subjected to the first determination. When the result is that the state is not appropriate for being subjected to the first determination, a warning is issued to the user to this effect.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a print head configured to execute printing on one surface of a long-size medium to be printed, on the other surface of which a plurality of oblique lines of the same angle of obliquity are formed at regular intervals, a conveying section configured to convey the medium to be printed, a sensor configured to detect the oblique lines, and a control section configured to control the print head to execute printing while changing a position of printing on the medium to be printed in accordance with an interval between the oblique lines in a conveying direction of the medium to be printed detected by the sensor.
