An earphone includes a housing having a space therein and an air-permeable path from one end of an ear canal of a user to another end of the ambient environment, an opening and closing valve accommodated in the housing and capable of blocking a part of the path, a speaker accommodated in the housing and configured to output a sound signal, a first microphone configured to detect a leakage amount of a sound output from the speaker and leaking from an ear of the user, and a control unit configured to cause the speaker to output the sound signal. The control unit sets the opening and closing valve to an open state or a closed state based on a volume of the sound signal or the leakage amount of the sound.

Earphone, earphone control method, and program

An indoor camera includes: an image capturing unit; a storage unit configured to store at least one detection area in association with stagnation times, the detection area that is a target area for detecting stagnation of a pet, and the stagnation times indicating the number of times when the pet enters the detection area and stagnates in the detection area; and a processor configured to detect a position of the pet and count the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area based on captured images. If determining, based on the captured images, that the pet stagnates in the detection area for a predetermined time period or longer, the processor increments and counts the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area and generates an action log including identification information of the detection area and information on the stagnation times.

Indoor camera and action log recording system

Provided is an imaging apparatus disposed within a building and wirelessly transmitting a captured image to a plurality of electronic devices. The imaging apparatus includes: a camera; a receiver that receives information regarding a distance between the plurality of electronic devices and the building from each of the plurality of electronic devices; and a controller having a first operation mode in which the camera starts capturing when an object moves and a second operation mode in which the camera does not start capturing video even when the object moves, the controller switching between the first operation mode and the second operation mode based on the information.

Imaging apparatus and imaging method

An electronic device includes a receiver that receives image data of an image taken with a camera by wireless communication, a touchscreen that displays a camera image of the camera, and a controller that, when the touchscreen is tapped, gives the camera instructions on a capturing direction so that a tapped position of the image displayed on the touchscreen moves to the center of the touchscreen, and displays on the camera image an operation image for receiving an operation to instruct the capturing direction of the camera.

Electronic device, image display method, non- transitory computer-readable recording medium storing program, and image capturing system

A first camera sends a first detection notification to a master device when detecting a person in a first imaging area, and starts transmission of a captured video of the first imaging area to the master device by shifting an operation mode from a sleep mode to a standby mode. The master device notifies a camera other than the first camera of a shift instruction to the standby mode in accordance with the first detection notification. The other camera shifts the operation mode from the sleep mode to the standby mode in accordance with the shift instruction to the standby mode, and starts buffering of a captured video of a second imaging area, and when detecting the person in the second imaging area in the standby mode, the other camera sends a second detection notification of the person to the master device, and starts transmission of the captured video of the second imaging area buffered before a first predetermined time period after a point of time at which the person is detected in the second imaging area, to the master device.
