摘要:
This mobile phone includes a control portion controlling an imaging portion to execute an imaging operation when detecting that a communication state established by taking a telephone call has been disconnected after a ringtone in taking the telephone call is repeated the first number of times in a case where a first communication portion capable of telephone communication takes the telephone call from an operating-side mobile phone.

A contents reproduction apparatus is provided that can resume reproduction according to the viewer. A CPU of a television executes the steps of: sending to a camera a command to pick up an image in response to input of an instruction to display a contents list; sending to an analysis unit a command to analyze image data of the person who inputs the instruction to display; specifying the person who inputs; sending data for displaying the list; detecting input of an instruction to select contents; calculating a backward amount in the case where the input instruction is an instruction to reproduce the same contents; and sending a command to reproduce the contents from a position preceding by the backward amount.

A remote controller that can infer the intention of a user and that can control a plurality of devices based on the inferred intention is provided. A remote controller includes memory, a control circuit, and a transmission portion. The memory stores in advance, in association with a situation sensed by a sensor, information of a first control signal. The control circuit generates, in association with the situation sensed by the sensor and the information stored in the memory, the first control signal. The transmission portion transmits the first control signal generated by the control circuit.

For an information terminal to be operated by users for collecting predetermined pieces of information from remote information devices by free-space optical communication, the present invention provides a technique for suppressing the power consumption of the information terminal by minimizing the amount of calculation performed to collect the aforementioned information. According to the present invention, each information device emits ID light on which a low-frequency pilot signal is superimposed. The information terminal captures a series of frames of images including the ID light and locates the ID light within the images by the following steps: (1) creating multiple levels of binned images having different resolutions for each frame of the image; (2) calculating an evaluation index for each pixel within a target range of the binned images at each level, from the lowest to the highest resolution, where the target range is narrowed every time the process switches over to a lower level. In (2), the evaluation index is calculated by an evaluation function including fast Fourier transformation performed throughout the series of frames of images. The evaluation index thus calculated is compared with a threshold to determine whether the pixel concerned is receiving ID light. The present technique significantly reduces the number of pixel to be analyzed and evaluated, thereby decreasing the total number of arithmetic operations to be performed using the evaluation function. Thus, the power consumption is suppressed.

An IP telephone terminal outputs a call request for communication with a prescribed terminal and, if it is determined that connection failed, records the input voice. Thereafter, the IP telephone terminal determines that the prescribed telephone terminal has reached a state connectable through IP network, outputs a call request for communication with the prescribed terminal and if connection is determined to be established, transmits the recorded voice to the prescribed terminal.

摘要:
An exposure control device for a still video camera having an imaging device provided with shutter function, a flash device for emitting light, and a light metering device for obtaining brightness information of an object for exposure control or a distance metering device for obtaining information of an object distance, is adapted for actuating the flash to emit during the accumulation time of signal charges in the imaging device, sweeping unnecessary charges out from a transfer section of the imaging device when the flash emitting is completed, and transferring the accumulated signal charges to the transfer section, whereby smear factor of the image signal can be eliminated. The flash is emitted when the accumulation of signal charges starts and the flash stops emitting when the proper exposure is attained. The emitting time is determined by the object distance, thereby the flash emission contributes to a proper exposure.
