An authentication device includes a deciding unit that, based on distribution information of the feature points included in a pattern present in some part of the body of the user, decides on the position of that part of the body to be used in authentication of the user. The authentication device further includes a guiding unit that, based on the decided position, guides the concerned part of the body to the decided position for the purpose of authentication of the user. The authentication device further includes an authenticating unit that performs authentication of the user based on feature information of the pattern as obtained due to the guiding.

Authentication device and recognition method

An information processing device includes a display control unit that displays map information including a plurality of points and a route between the plurality of points, and displays at least a setting screen that enables setting of a trigger and a task to be performed in a case where the trigger is established, on the basis of a predetermined input made to the map information.

Information processing device and information processing method to notify at an appropriate timing

Provided is an information processing apparatus that effectively utilizes contexts and has the highly convenient messaging function, a method thereof and a terminal device used for message communication. The information processing apparatus includes a communication section and a control section. The communication section communicates a message between respective terminal devices used by a plurality of users. The control section acquires is a context of one or more users among the plurality of users, and controls at least one of creation or communication of message-related information including content or a format of the message on the basis of the acquired context.

Information processing apparatus, terminal device, and information processing method

An information processing system that generates commentary, the commentary including first commentary generated based on behavior information corresponding to a behavior of a user and second commentary associated with the first commentary; and outputs the commentary to be available to other users.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Provided is a drive assistance device for assisting driving of a vehicle by using an automatic driving function. Assuming various conditions of the driver, a plurality of notification timings to notify of switching from an automatic driving mode to a manual driving mode is set. Notifying a driver who is drowsing at a notification timing of long premature time allows the driver to have sufficient time margin to be ready for manual driving and to shift to driving action more safely. A driver who is reading a book or operating a smartphone is expected to be able to shift to driving action immediately after a notification, and thus it is sufficient to notify at a notification timing of short premature time, which can reduce inconvenience for the driver.

Drive assistance device and drive assistance method, and moving body

Provided is an information processing device that includes a display control unit that controls display of condition information indicating conditions of livestock, an acquisition unit that acquires task information indicating a task related to the livestock, which is based on the condition information, and an output unit that outputs command information that indicates a command for the task indicated by the task information.

Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing device according to the present technology includes an action recognition unit that recognizes an operation action of a user based on sensor information, and an action representation generation unit that analyzes operation action data showing the operation action of the user recognized by the action recognition unit to generate an action segment represented by a meaning and content of the operation action from the operation action data.

Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program

There is provided an information processing device that appropriately presents a topic in consideration of a behavior of a user presenting the topic. The information processing device includes: a topic generation unit configured to generate topics with a conversation partner on the basis of a comparison result between a certain behavior of a user and comparison information regarding the behavior; and a topic suggestion unit configured to decide a topic candidate to be suggested to the user from the generated topics.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

Provided is an information processing device including: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire action information of a user, and space information and time information that are associated with the action information; and a map representation processing unit configured to consider the time information when executing map representation of the action information on a basis of the space information.

An information processing device including a receiving unit that receives predetermined information from a first information terminal possessed by a first user and a second information terminal possessed by a second user, an action recognition unit that recognizes an action of the first user on the basis of the predetermined information received from the first information terminal, and an information transmitting unit that transmits, on the basis of the recognized action of the first user, information for determining whether or not the second information terminal possessed by the second user is to acquire the predetermined information.

Provided is a linear actuator whose entire length can be shortened while thrust thereof can be made large. The linear actuator of the present invention is provided with the following: a hollow drive magnet (); a coil () disposed at either the outside or the inside of the drive magnet (); and a return magnet () that is disposed at the other of the outside or the inside of the drive magnet (), is connected to the coil (), and returns the drive magnet () to the starting point. By conducting electricity to the coil (), the drive magnet () or the coil () and the return magnet () move in the axial direction of the drive magnet

Linear actuator

Systems and methods for correcting a location of a terminal are provided. In various aspects, a processor in a position correction apparatus may associate a reference position with the terminal, and determine a range for the terminal based on the reference position. The processor may also associate a second position with the terminal, and determine if the second position associated with the terminal is outside the determined range for the terminal based on the reference position. Upon a determination that indicates that the second position is outside the determined range, the processor may correct the second position to a corrected position associated with the terminal.

Position correction apparatus, position correction method, program, position correction system

A steel-sheet snaking preventing device for a vertical looper includes a jack mechanism provided at each of at least two corners of a looper carriage and coupled via a metal fitting to a chain or a wire rope that pulls the looper carriage; a tilt meter configured to detect the amount of tilt of the looper carriage; a level meter configured to detect a height of the looper carriage; and a means for receiving detection signals from the tilt meter and the level meter, determining the amount of tilt of the looper carriage at which the amount of snaking of a steel sheet becomes zero, sending the determined amount of tilt of the looper carriage as a command to the jack mechanism, and controlling the amount of tilt of the looper carriage by the jack mechanism.

Steel-sheet snaking preventing device and steel-sheet snaking preventing method for vertical looper

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a wireless station information acquisition unit which acquires information showing wireless stations with which a terminal apparatus is capable of communicating; a clustering unit which generates a wireless station cluster by clustering the wireless stations based on a time at which the wireless stations are capable of communicating with the terminal apparatus; and a stay detection unit which detects a state in which the terminal apparatus is capable of communicating with wireless stations included in the wireless station cluster as a state in which the terminal apparatus is staying at a location corresponding to the wireless station cluster.
