Abstract:
A positioning system includes a plurality of beacon modules and a communication device. Further, the communication device includes a calculation unit calculating action state data that are used for determining an action state of a user who carries the communication device; a searching unit selectively searching for one of the beacon modules in accordance with the action state of the user, the action state being determined based on the action state data calculated by the calculation unit, and a derivation unit deriving positional information of the user based on a response signal transmitted from the one of the beacon modules having been searched for by the searching unit.
Abstract:
An information processing device includes: a posture change determining unit that determines, based on an output value of an inertial sensor, whether a posture state of a moving object has changed; a reference orientation generating unit that, when it is determined that the posture state of the moving object has changed from a first posture state into a second posture state, generates a reference orientation corresponding to an orientation of the moving object at that time calculated from the output value of the inertial sensor; and an orientation error calculating unit that, when it is determined that the posture state of the moving object has changed from the second posture state into the first posture state, calculates an error of an orientation of the moving object according to the reference orientation, and an orientation at that time calculated from the output value of the inertial sensor.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes an interval shooting section (51) that performs an interval shooting process, a lighten compositing section (54) that performs a lighten compositing process using images captured one by one by the interval shooting process, and a composite-image-in-progress displaying section (55) that, when a first operation is performed, causes a composite image in a first memory area, which is used as a compositing buffer for the lighten compositing process, to be displayed on an LCD monitor without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.
Abstract:
A direction estimating device estimates a user direction indicating a direction of a body of a user. The direction estimating device includes: a storage unit that stores direction information indicating a direction determined in advance as the user direction of when the user operates an input device with a particular attitude; a detecting unit that detects that the user is in the particular attitude; and an estimating unit that estimates the user direction based on the direction information when the user has been detected to be in the particular attitude.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes an optical system including a zoom lens and a focus lens, a driver to drive the zoom lens and the focus lens, an image sensor to convert an optical image of a subject formed via the optical system into an electric signal and output the signal as an image signal, an image processor to generate image data of the subject according to the image signal, a digital zoom element to perform digital zoom on the basis of the image data; and a position detector to detect a position of the zoom lens, wherein the digital zoom element is configured to perform the digital zoom even when the zoom lens position has not reached a telephoto end.
