Abstract: A control apparatus comprises a first operating state reception part that receives the operating state of an application as a first operating state from two or more terminals; a second operating state presuming part that presumes terminal priority and a second operating state to which the first operating state will transition for each of the terminals on the basis of the first operating state received by the first operating state reception part; an assumption determining part that specifies as a control target terminal a terminal to be controlled with the assumption that the operating state has changed before the operating state changes on the basis of the terminal priority and the second operating state; and an assumption control part that executes predetermined processing assuming that the operating state of the control target terminal has changed to the second operating state presumed by the second operating state presuming part before the operating state of the control target terminal changes.

Abstract: An object recognition device (10) includes a holding body (100), a light source (200), and an optical sensor (300). The holding body (100) extends in one direction. The light source (200) is attached to the holding body (100) along the one direction. The light source (200) applies light toward at least a part of a space (S) located on a side of the holding body (100) with respect to the one direction of the holding body (100), a front of the space (S), and a back of the space (S). The optical sensor (300) is attached to the holding body (100). At least a part of a visual field of the optical sensor (300) faces in at least a part of the space (S), the front of the space (S), and the back of the space (S).
