An information processing system includes a camera, a face detection unit that detects faces included in an image acquired by the camera, a parameter setting unit that sets a reaction parameter for framing according to the number of the detected faces, and a framing unit that performs framing of the image using the set reaction parameter. The parameter setting unit sets the reaction parameter, for example, so that the framing reaction is slower as the number of faces included in the image increases.

A vibration isolator is a vibration isolator for supporting a speaker box to a chassis of an electronic apparatus and includes a main body having a bar shape, and an attachment piece having a plate shape, the attachment piece including a hole portion through which a screw thread to fix the vibration isolator to the speaker box is passed through, the attachment piece being provided to protrude from the main body. The main body includes a core and a rubber material covering a surface of the core, and the attachment piece is made of the rubber material.

Vibration isolator and electronic apparatus

A bracket includes: a first hinge shaft; a second hinge shaft; a base plate including a first arm supported by the first hinge shaft and a second arm supported by the second hinge shaft; a fixing plate rotatable relative to the first arm around an axis of the first hinge shaft, and configured to fix the bracket to a mounting object; an attachment plate rotatable relative to the second arm around an axis of the second hinge shaft, and configured to have a chassis of the electronic apparatus attached thereto; and a stopper mechanism configured to selectively restrict relative rotation of the first arm and the fixing plate around the axis of the first hinge shaft and relative rotation of the second arm and the attachment plate around the axis of the second hinge shaft.

Bracket and electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis; a substrate housed in the chassis and with a processing device mounted thereon; a speaker device housed in the chassis and having a speaker unit and a speaker box; and a cooling device housed in the chassis and used to cool the processing device. The substrate is placed vertically along the vertical direction of the chassis. The cooling device includes: a fan having air intake ports provided on upper and lower surfaces, exhaust ports provided on side surfaces, and an impeller, and being placed horizontally in the chassis with a rotating shaft of the impeller placed along the vertical direction of the chassis; a fin placed facing the exhaust port of the fan and placed horizontally in the chassis; and a heat pipe with a first end connected to the processing device and a second end connected to the fin.

Electronic apparatus

An apparatus for managed updating of meeting handout data is disclosed. A method and system also perform the functions of the apparatus. An apparatus is disclosed that, in one embodiment, includes an acquisition unit that acquires from a server, meeting information and meeting handout data for a meeting, and stores the acquired meeting information and meeting handout data to a storage area in a memory unit of a meeting device. The apparatus also includes an authentication unit that authenticates a participating terminal to participate in the meeting; and a management unit that, after authenticating the participating terminal, changes a locator for the meeting handout data that the participating terminal acquires from a storage place of the server to the storage area in the memory unit of the meeting device.

Device, method, and system for managed updating of meeting handout data

Apparatus, systems, methods, and computer program products for determining an authentication procedure are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to acquire a schedule of a conference and a reference time which is determined on the basis of the schedule, recognize at least one voice of at least one participant who participates in the conference, determine whether the at least one voice of the at least one participant meets a predetermined condition after the elapse of the reference time, and output information for promoting progress of the conference in response to the determining whether the at least one voice of the at least one participant meets the predetermined condition after the elapse of the reference time.

Apparatus, systems, and method for conference management

There is provided an information processing apparatus capable of setting a privacy mode intuitively and easily. The information processing apparatus capable of selecting the privacy mode includes: an imaging unit configured to acquire an image; a determination unit configured to acquire an output value related to the brightness of the image acquired by the imaging unit to determine whether the output value related to the brightness of the image meets a predetermined condition; and a mode selection unit configured to select the privacy mode when the determination unit determines that the output value related to the brightness of the image meets the predetermined condition.

Data pertaining to at least one user-specific color value can be accessed for output of at least one of red light, green light, and blue light, and images can be presented on a display based at least in part on the at least one user-specific color value.

Presentation of images on display based on user-specific color value(s)

A conferencing system configured to make it easy to switch video data to be displayed on a shared display device. Multiple client devices are connected to a switching device directly or via a network. The output of the switching device is connected to a shared display device. Each client device outputs, to the switching device, video data used for a presentation. The switching device registers, in a queue, the order of displaying received video data on the shared display device. The registered order can be the order of receiving video data at the switching device. The content of the queue and the allocated time of each presenter can be displayed on the shared display device. The switching device switches video data to be displayed on the shared display device at a predetermined timing according to the order of the queue.

A manner of reducing the power consumption is utilized in a tablet terminal equipped with a digitizer for inputting with an electronic pen. When another tablet terminal or a smartphone approaches the tablet terminal, each digitizer detects input. When the digitizer detects the input, it is determined whether the input is electronic pen input from the electronic pen or proximity input caused by the proximity of the other tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the case of electronic pen input, coordinate information is transferred to a system, while in the case of proximity input, the system takes an action such as shifting a tablet terminal to a sleep state.

Control of an electronic device equipped with coordinate input device for inputting with an electronic pen

A power state controlling method is provided that balances quick resumption with reduction of power consumption. An upper limit value Pih and a lower limit value Pil of a power idle state are set for the magnitude of power consumption of a system. The power consumption of the system in a power-on state is calculated. The system changes over to a suspended state when a predetermined time elapses after the system changes over to the power idle state with the lowering of the power consumption.

Method of changing over computer from power-on state to power-saving state

A apparatus includes an AC adapter input, a main battery charger coupled to the input to charge a main battery, system logic to execute code stored on storage devices, and an expansion battery connector coupled to the input to provide sufficient current to enable charging of an expansion battery at a rate higher than a maximum charge rate of the main battery charger.
