A HEMS controller repeatedly transmits a predetermined signal to a control-target appliance at a set time interval in order to detect a change in a status of the control-target appliance. If the status changes, the HEMS controller notifies a smartphone of the changed status via a server apparatus. In a state where the time interval is set to a first time interval, when receiving a control instruction for controlling an operation of the control-target appliance from the smartphone via the server apparatus, the HEMS controller transmits the control instruction to the control-target appliance. In response to the transmission of the control instruction to the control-target appliance, the HEMS controller changes the time interval to a second time interval shorter than the first time interval.

Communication system, relay apparatus, control apparatus, server apparatus, control method, and information processing method

Provided is an information processing device that is capable of recognizing characters in an image quickly. The portable phone according to the present invention is a device that recognizes words and phrases from an image. The portable phone includes: an image capturing section that captures a moving image; a character string obtaining section, a character string collation section, and a word and phrase ID obtaining section, which successively obtains consecutive images that constitute the captured moving image and obtains an ID indicative of a word or a phrase at a predetermined position of the image; a FIFO buffer for storing the obtained ID; and a recognition determination section that determines, as a recognition result, an ID that is stored in the FIFO buffer by the most number.

Information processing device and method for controlling an information processing device

An image processing device () includes: a line segment extracting section () for generating a line segment image obtained by extracting contour line segments contained in a contour of a subject in a captured image; a candidate quadrilateral calculating section () for (i) putting at least one virtual line segment in the line segment image (ii) selecting four line segments from a set containing the at least one virtual line segment and the contour line segments, and (iii) identifying a quadrilateral defined by four straight lines containing respective selected four line segments; and an image correcting section () for correcting a distortion in perspective transformation of the captured image based on the quadrilateral identified by the candidate quadrilateral calculating section (). With the configuration, the distortion of the subject can be corrected without manually adjusting a degree of correction, even in a case where the subject having sides is partially not contained in the captured image or the subject is not a document image.
