摘要:
A sensor value is obtained by a sensor included in a terminal from among a plurality of terminals each of which includes the sensor, the acquired sensor value is stored along with an identifier used to identify a terminal with which the acquired sensor value was acquired, identifiers are extracted with which a difference of corresponding stored sensor values is equal to or smaller than a threshold value by comparing stored sensor values corresponding to different identifiers, an instruction for acquiring the sensor value is transmitted to at least one of the terminals corresponding to the extracted identifiers, and an instruction for extending an interval of acquiring the sensor value is transmitted to the terminals which are other than the at least one of the terminals corresponding to the extracted identifiers.

An information processing apparatus that conducts positioning on the basis of received signal strength indications obtained from access points, includes, a contact information detector that detects contact information between the information processing apparatus and a dielectric body, a recording module that stores a gain table including gain data corresponding to obtained contact information, a gain data correcting unit that extracts the gain data corresponding to the contact information obtained by the contact information detector from the gain table of the recording module and corrects gain by using the extracted gain data, and a positioning module that conducts the positioning by using the gain obtained by the correcting unit and the received signal strength indications.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus includes a user interface, a switching unit, and a computer. The user interface is for a user that operates a first processing unit that runs a first operating system or a second processing unit that runs a second operating system. The switching unit selectively switches between the first processing unit and the second processing unit to be associated with the user interface. The computer functions as the first processing unit. The computer functions as the second processing unit. The computer runs a first application program on the first operating system. The computer activates, on the second operating system, a second application program related to the first application program, in a state in which the first processing unit is associated with the user interface. The computer controls the switching unit upon completion of the activation of the second application program.

摘要:
An information access system comprises: antennas arranged at respective different positions and used for communicating with contactless information storage devices that pass through a predetermined region substantially simultaneously; reader devices coupled to the respective antennas and adapted to communicate with the contactless information storage devices; and a control unit for controlling the reader devices and transmitting, to another apparatus, data received from the reader devices. In response to a control signal received from the other apparatus, the control unit controls predetermined one of the reader devices to transmit an RF identification request signal to the predetermined region via the antenna. The reader devices receive RF response signals from the contactless information storage devices via the antennas, then reproduce identifications, and then provide the reproduced identifications to the control unit. The control unit receives the reproduced identifications, and then processes redundant identifications in the received identifications so as to produce distinct identifications having no redundancy.
