Abstract:
A keyboard device includes a plurality of transmission members which are displaced in response to a depression operation on each of a plurality of keys and a plurality of hammer members each of which provides an action load to a depressed key by performing a rotating motion in response to the displacement of a transmission member corresponding to the depressed key. The weight of the transmission member is set in accordance with the formation density of a plurality of ribs formed on a transmission body section. Therefore, the weight of the transmission member set in accordance with the formation density of the ribs can be provided to the key as a static load. As a result of this structure, an initial load on a key can be optimized, and a key depressing force on the key at the time of key depression can be favorably transmitted to the hammer member.
Abstract:
A shock buffering structure which has a side buffer member arranged between a wristwatch case and a watch module within the wristwatch case, wherein the side buffer member is layered and formed by a plurality of buffer layers having respectively different vibration transmissibility for predetermined frequencies. Accordingly, when the wristwatch case receives vibration from external shock, the plurality of buffer layers of the side buffer member attenuate and absorb low-frequency vibration and high-frequency vibration, respectively.
Abstract:
An automatic composition apparatus includes a processing unit. The processing unit performs a receiving process of receiving a phrase including a plurality of note data items as a received motif and receiving a type of the phrase, a retrieving process of retrieving a phrase set from a phrase set database and a melody generating process of generating a melody based on the retrieved phrase set. The phrase set includes phrases having the same type as the received type and having relatively high matching levels for the received motif. The phrase set database stores a plurality of phrase sets each of which is a combination of a plurality of phrases of different types.
Abstract:
A printing device printing on a non-transitory recording medium with a print head, comprising the following: an input receiver receiving input of a character string including multiple characters; a print data transmitter sending to the print head individually inverted characters of one or more characters included in the character string of which the input is received; and a printer printing with the print head the inverted characters received by the print head such that the inverted characters are arranged closer to a leading end in a transfer direction of the recording medium.
Abstract:
To perform information output suitable for the state of a user. A mobile terminal 1 includes an input unit 17, an output unit 18, a response generation unit 53, a position monitoring unit 52, and an output control unit 54. The input unit 17 receives voice input. The output unit 18 displays information, or outputs information by a method other than screen display. The position monitoring unit 52 detects the position of the mobile terminal 1 at the time of the voice input to the input unit 17. The output control unit 54 controls the output unit 18 to display a response to the voice input generated by the response generation unit 53 in the case where, at the time of the output of the response, the position monitoring unit 52 detects the position at the time of the voice input to the input unit 17, and controls the output unit 18 to output the response to the voice input in the case where, at the time of the output of the response, the position monitoring unit 52 detects a position other than the position at the time of the voice input to the input unit 17.
Abstract:
An image generating apparatus including a processor and a memory having instructions stored therein which are executable by the processor to cause the processor to: cause a display to separately and simultaneously display (i) a panoramic image in progress corresponding to images which are captured by an image capturing unit, and (ii) a live-view image corresponding to an image that is newly captured by the image capturing unit while images are being captured by the image capturing unit; receive an instruction to terminate image capture processing for generating panoramic image data while the panoramic image in progress and the live-view image are being displayed; and perform, in response to reception of the instruction, control to record, as a completed panoramic image, panoramic image data generated from the images captured by a time when reception of the instruction is finished, even if images have not yet been captured in a predetermined capture range set in advance for a full panoramic image to be generated.
Abstract:
In a digital signage apparatus, a controller makes an imaging unit photograph in a first image quality mode and performs face recognition to a captured image obtained by the imaging unit. When the predetermined condition is satisfied in which the behavior of the person in front of the digital signage apparatus is assumed to be interested in the digital signage apparatus, the controller makes the imaging unit photograph in the second image quality mode higher than the first image quality and performs the face recognition to the captured image obtained by the imaging unit. The above case includes cases where the user operation has been detected, where the size of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or larger than the predetermined size, and where the moving amount of the face recognized from the captured image is equal to or less than the predetermined amount.
Abstract:
In CE4, a communication terminal transmits data including a latency_off value “1”. After receiving the data, an environment information measuring apparatus transmits data since a latency counter value is “0”. The latency counter value becomes “2” and a latency_off counter value becomes “1”. In CE5, the communication terminal transmits data including a latency_off value “0”. Since each of the latency counter value and the latency_off counter value is not “0”, the environment information measuring apparatus does not receive the data from the communication terminal. The latency counter value becomes “1” and the latency_off counter value becomes “0”. In CE6, since the latency_off counter value is “0”, the environment information measuring apparatus receives the data from the communication terminal.
Abstract:
A search string acquiring unit acquires a search string. A converting unit converts the search string into a phoneme sequence. A time length deriving unit derives the spoken time length of the voice corresponding to the search string. A zone designating unit designates a likelihood acquisition zone in a target voice signal. A likelihood acquiring device acquires a likelihood indicating how likely the likelihood acquisition interval is an interval in which voice corresponding to the search string is spoken. A repeating unit changes the likelihood acquisition zone designated by the zone designating unit, and repeats the process of the zone designating unit and the likelihood acquiring device. An identifying unit identifies, from the target voice signal, estimated intervals for which the voice corresponding to the search string is estimated to be spoken, on the basis of the likelihoods acquired for each of the likelihood acquisition zones.
Abstract:
A board connection structure including a wiring board having a contact point section provided at one end portion and opposed to a switch button, and a holding member to which the wiring board is attached with flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by the folding of the wiring board.
