A communication terminal includes a base station antenna and the like, a measurement unit, a key operation unit, a memory, and a transmission control unit. The measurement unit acquires element information from a radio wave. A message is entered at the key operation unit. A plurality of types of element information from transmission sources different from each other and the message are stored in correspondence in the memory. The transmission control unit controls the base station antenna and the like such that a message is transmitted when the combination of the received element information corresponds to the combination of element information stored in the memory.

A remote control device capable of controlling devices in an expanded range is provided. Processing executed by a remote control includes the steps of transmitting a control signal to an HDD recorder, transmitting a communications request to a remote control connected over the Internet based on a reply received from the HDD recorder, and executing an IP telephone session to/from the remote control. The IP telephone session includes the steps of transmitting control information for controlling an operation of the HDD recorder based on a reply provided from the remote control, receiving a reply of a result of determination about control information from the remote control, and transmitting a request for the control to the remote control based on the reply.

A TV broadcast viewing and recording system, which can enhance viewing efficiency for each user to view TV programs even though several users use the system. The TV broadcast viewing and recording system (1) comprises a TV receiver (2), a recorder (3), and a camera (4) which takes an image in a predetermined imaging area in front of the TV receiver (2) or the recorder (3). When the user surfs the channels (S51), the TV receiver (2) transmits a request signal to the recorder (3) (S52). The recorder (3) performs facial recognition of an image data taken by the camera (4), identifies the user by calculating a feature quantity of the user who changes the channels (S53), and extracts data files of TV programs which has not been reproduced yet (S54). Subsequently, the recorder (3) transmits a message signal including information of un-reproduced data files of TV programs to the TV receiver (2) (S55). The TV receiver (2) displays a list of the un-reproduced data files of TV programs on the basis of the received information so that the user can confirm existence of TV programs which has not been reproduced yet(S56).

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.

When the user takes a watching mode with respect to a television device, a broadcast audio signal generated at the television device is transmitted to a remote controller device, and output from a speaker of a headset via a jack. When the user takes a telephone mode, an incoming audio signal from a conversation party is transmitted from the television device to the remote controller device, and output from the speaker of the headset via the jack. Concurrently, the voice uttered by the user is converted into an outgoing audio signal at a microphone of the headset, and transmitted to the television device from the remote controller device to be sent to the conversation party.

A remote control system is made up by a remote controller for remotely operating equipment such as an air conditioner and a television, and a cradle connected to a commercial power supply and having a charging function for the remote controller. The remote controller is equipped with a camera and a communication unit capable of communicating through a network. The cradle is equipped with a light unit such as an LED.
摘要:
In a control unit, in a case where a person authentication unit cannot detect a face image from an image picked up by a camera unit in a predetermined time or more, reproducing situation data including person specifying information stored in an internal memory at the time thereof, a recording-medium identifying code of an on-reproducing recording medium, and a reproducing position address at the time of inputting the personal information are stored in the reproducing situation storage unit. After that, if the person authentication unit detects again the face image form the image picked up by the camera unit and, as a result of the authentication, if it is determined based on features of the face image that the person is the same as the original person, the reproducing operation starts from the reproducing position address stored in the reproducing situation storage unit.

A television set allowing a small amount of information to be processed to authenticate at least a portion of a face with high precision, is configured as follows: The television set includes a memory, a camera and a CPU. The memory stores feature information in association with a position. The CPU detects the position of the facial portion of a person in an image. The CPU extracts feature information based on the image. The CPU collates the feature information extracted thereby with that of the feature information stored in the memory which corresponds to the position detected thereby. The CPU selects a channel corresponding to a result of the collation. The television set further includes a tuner and a display. The tuner extracts a broadcast signal of the channel selected by the CPU. The display displays a video image corresponding to the signal extracted by the tuner.

Upon determination that a portable terminal device is in a conversation state, a CPU disables a touch panel. The CPU determines whether an external output device is connected to the portable terminal device via a connector. Upon determination that the external output device is connected to the portable terminal device via the connector, the CPU enables the disabled touch panel. Upon determination that a handsfree function is effective, the CPU enables the disabled touch panel. The CPU determines whether a touch panel button is enabled. Upon determination that the touch panel button is enabled, the CPU enables the disabled touch panel.
