Abstract:
A cooking apparatus includes a recipe obtaining unit that obtains recipe information for a dish, a modification obtaining unit that obtains first modification information used to modify the obtained recipe information, and a taste complement unit that generates taste complement recipe information based on the obtained recipe information, the first modification information, and second modification information. The second modification information makes a complement to degradation of taste satisfaction with a dish offered based on the obtained recipe information modified by using the first modification information.
Abstract:
There are included a facial feature point acquiring unit that acquires a facial feature point within a makeup facial image that is an image of a face on which makeup is applied, a makeup feature point acquiring unit that acquires a makeup feature point within the makeup facial image, a makeup information generator that generates, based on the facial feature point and the makeup feature point, makeup information quantitatively indicating positional information of the makeup feature point in a face coordinate system that takes the facial feature point as a reference, a trend analyzer that analyzes the makeup information acquired from a plurality of the makeup facial images, and determines a makeup trend, and an analysis result output unit that performs an information output process according to a determination result of the makeup trend.
Abstract:
A dust removing device includes: a dust position estimating unit which estimates a position of a dust area which is an area in which there is dust; an air blow determining unit which determines, based on the estimated position, an air blow mode which causes a predetermined airflow in the dust area; an air blower which performs an air blow in the determined air blow mode; and an air intake unit which takes in air from a space in which the air blow is performed. Note that the dust removing device may include an information storage which stores a control table in which air blow control information defining the air blow mode is written for a position of each dust area, and the air blow determining unit may determine, based on the control table, the air blow mode in accordance with the air blow control information corresponding to the estimated position of the dust area.
Abstract:
A communication unit receives spraying target information indicating a spray target. A spraying target detector detects the spray target indicated in the spraying target information in space. A spray control unit is a unit that performs ion-spraying processing on the spray target at a predetermined frequency. In the ion-spraying processing, the spray control unit determines a moving direction of an ion spraying apparatus from a current location to the detected spray target, and sprays ions on the spray target when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value. A flight control unit controls a flight of the ion spraying apparatus in the moving direction.
Abstract:
An air suction apparatus includes an air suction port that is variable in an air suction mode including at least one of a shape, a size, a direction, an effective opening area, a position, or an air flow volume of an air suction port and an air suction controller that controls, according to a change in a dust concentration distribution in a periphery of the air suction port, the air suction port to vary at least one of the shape, the size, the direction, the effective opening area, the position, or the air flow volume of the air suction port such that an air suction flow distribution is changed according to the variation of the air suction mode.
Abstract:
A cooking apparatus includes a recipe obtaining unit that obtains recipe information for a dish, a preference obtaining unit that obtains preference information for a user, and a recipe modification unit that, based on the obtained preference information, modifies a value of a cooking parameter, which defines a manner of cooking, to provide modified recipe information, the cooking parameter value being included in the obtained recipe information. The preference information is, for example, information indicating taste preference of the user. In that case, the recipe modification unit modifies the cooking parameter value in a direction in which the taste of the dish is more closely fit to the taste preference indicated by the preference information.
Abstract:
A dust removing apparatus comprises: an air blower performs air blowing; an air sucker performs air suction from a space in which the air blowing is performed to collect dust from the space; a sensor measures an amount of the collected dust, the amount of dust indicating a density of the collected dust; a processor determines whether or not a usage condition of the dust removing apparatus in the space is appropriate by comparing the measured amount of collected dust with an estimated value of an amount of collected dust under a usages condition of the dust removing apparatus satisfying a predetermined appropriate use criteria upon the measurement of the amount of collected dust; and an outputter outputs information indicating the result of the determined usage condition.
Abstract:
A dust detection apparatus includes a dust measuring unit that measures an amount of dust in air, a controller that determines a moving direction of the dust detection apparatus based on the measured amount of dust or a predetermined dust accumulation position candidate, a flight controller that controls a flight of the dust detection apparatus to the determined moving direction, and a communication unit that sends, to a server, location information of a dust accumulation position determined based on the measured amount of dust and the amount of dust measured by the dust measuring unit at the dust accumulation position.
Abstract:
An automatic cleaning system is configured by a single controlling apparatus, and a plurality of self-traveling cleaners. When the controlling apparatus has received from a self-traveling cleaner a dust location signal containing a dust location detected by the self-traveling cleaner, it writes the received information into a storage unit. When the controlling apparatus has received from one of the plurality of self-traveling cleaners, with respect to dust which is not removed by any self-traveling cleaner, a signal requesting a reservation of removing the dust, the controlling apparatus will not accept from any other of the plurality of self-traveling cleaners a signal requesting a reservation of removing the dust, until receiving from the one self-traveling cleaner information indicating that removing of the dust has been completed or information indicating that the removing of the dust has been stopped.
