An object is to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted while ensuring tactile reproducibility. A decoding device according to the present technology includes: a first decoding unit that decodes first encoded data obtained by encoding a first signal section with a first bit rate, the first signal section being a part of a touch signal section which is a signal section indicating a touch state with an object in a tactile signal, the first signal section being a signal section including a boundary between the touch state and a non-touch state with the object; and a second decoding unit that decodes second encoded data obtained by encoding a second signal section with a bit rate lower than the first bit rate, the second signal section being a signal section except for the first signal section in the touch signal section.

Decoding device, decoding method, program, encoding device, and encoding method

As a bit stream generation method for generating a bit stream of transmission data in which a plurality of signals including at least a tactile signal is multiplexed, a signal transmission unrequired section of the tactile signal is determined and, in a case where the signal transmission unrequired section exists, the bit stream in which additional information other than the tactile signal is inserted into the signal transmission unrequired section is generated.

Decoding device, decoding method, and program

A light-receiving element and a first light-emitting element are disposed in a position in which the light-receiving element receives forward-scattered light produced when smoke in the smoke detection part is irradiated with first irradiation light emitted from the first light-emitting element. A secondary reflecting plate is provided on a side of the first light-emitting element inside the peripheral wall. The secondary reflecting plate is configured to form secondary reflected light when the smoke detection part without smoke is irradiated with the first irradiation light. The secondary reflecting plate receives primary reflected light resulting from reflection of the first irradiation light from the peripheral wall and reflects the primary reflected light, and then allows the formed secondary reflected light to enter the light-receiving element.

Provided is a control apparatus that includes a tactile control section and an audio control section. The tactile control section generates, on the basis of a tactile signal for tactile presentation, a tactile control signal for driving a tactile presentation unit. The audio control section generates, on the basis of a first audio signal and a second audio signal, an audio control signal for driving an audio output unit, the second audio signal containing sound components that are in an opposite phase to sound generated on the basis of the tactile signal and generated from the tactile presentation unit.

Provided is a vehicle signal light in which a person with protanopia (p-type color vision deficiency) can perceive whether or not the vehicle signal light, e.g., a stop lamp, a tail lamp, or the like, is turned on. The vehicle signal light includes a first light source configured to emit red light and a second light source configured to emit amber light. The first light source and the second light source are simultaneously turned on and are configured to emit light with a higher luminous intensity in response to a braking operation, and the emission intensity of the first light source is higher than that of the second light source.
