An equipment control device includes a person region detector that receives a thermal image corresponding to an object of image capture and detects a person region that is a region occupied by a person in the thermal image, a person feature detector that calculates basal metabolism of the person, based on a thermal image part of the person region in the thermal image, and an equipment controller that controls equipment, based on the basal metabolism of the person detected by the person feature detector.

Equipment control device and method, utilizing basal metabolism data calculated from estimated characteristics of a person based on detected visible light image data and corresponding thermal image data

A digital broadcast receiver on a mobile body includes: a tuner that receives a broadcast signal of a physical channel; a signal intensity detector that detects a signal intensity of the broadcast signal; a current position detector that detects a current position of the mobile body; a movement direction detector that detects a movement direction of the mobile body; a reception judging unit that controls the tuner to judge whether the physical channel can be received; an area information storage unit that stores receivable area information indicating a receivable area of the physical channel; and an area information updating unit that determines, when it is judged that the physical channel can be received, a position apart from the current position in the movement direction according to the signal intensity as a receivable position, and updates the receivable area information to extend the receivable area to the receivable position.

Digital broadcast receiver and information updating method therefor

A recommended program search device includes a viewing history information acquiring block which acquires a viewing channel and a viewing time by the user for each area corresponding to a time division and stores viewing history information including the viewing channel and the viewing time that are associated with each area in the storage, a program information acquiring block which acquires scheduled broadcast program information, including program time information enabling calculation of a program start time and a program broadcast time for a scheduled broadcast program and channel information about the scheduled broadcast program, and a search block which determines a user's favorite program from the scheduled broadcast program on the basis of a result of comparison between the program time information and the channel information included in the scheduled broadcast program information and the viewing channel and the viewing time stored in the storage.

Recommended program search device and recommended program search method

Image feature values Va and Vb are derived from image data, coefficients C and D are determined based on the image feature values Va and Vb, and an approximate expression expressed with the file size Sfj of the JPEG compression file and the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived. Next, by designating the file size of a desired predetermined JPEG compression file based on the approximate expression, the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived, and a first quantization table as a reference is multiplied by the quantization data coefficient value Aqt, whereby a second quantization table is obtained. Then, using the second quantization table, the image data is actually JPEG-compressed.
