    Abstract: An electronic device which is capable of determining whether a user is moving or stationary, includes a speed acquisition unit that acquires a user's moving speed and a processor that determines whether the user is in a moving state or in a pause state. In the moving state, the processor determines that a transition from the moving state to the pause state has occurred in the case where the moving speed acquired by the speed acquisition unit is less than the pause speed threshold. In the pause state, the processor determines that a transition from the pause state to the moving state has occurred in the case where the moving speed acquired by the speed acquisition unit is equal to or more than the moving speed threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230001693
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a body, a print head, a mover, a stand and a sensor. The body has an opening that faces a printing target during printing. The print head is provided in the body and performs the printing on the printing target. The mover is provided in the body and moves the print head to a first position and a second position. The first position corresponds to the opening, and the second position is different from the first position. The stand is detachable from the body. The sensor at least senses that a distance between the body and the stand is equal to or shorter than a predetermined distance. The mover moves the print head from the second position to the first position in response to the sensor sensing that the distance between the body and the stand is equal to or shorter than the predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 11545048
    Abstract: A display device includes a biometric information value acquiring portion, a comparing portion, and a subject state determining portion. The biometric information value acquiring portion subsequently acquires a subject's biometric information value. The comparing portion compares a first biometric information value that is subsequently acquired by the biometric information value acquiring portion with a second biometric information value which is different from the first biometric information value that is subsequently acquired by the biometric information value acquiring portion. The subject state determining portion determines that the user could get a certain improvement owing to the treatment on the user on the basis of a comparison result by the comparing portion.

  • Patent number: 11546329
    Abstract: A portable communication terminal control system includes a plurality of first portable communication terminals and a second portable communication terminal. A first processor in the first portable communication terminal performs a first portable communication terminal side determination process which determines whether communication connection is in an established state between a first portable communication terminal and the second portable communication terminal. The first processor performs a transmission control process in which, in response to determination that the communication connection with the other first portable communication terminal is in the established state and that the communication connection with the second portable communication terminal is in the established state, a release signal is transmitted to the second portable communication terminal.

  • Patent number: 11543782
    Abstract: A timepiece is provided which ensures connection reliability and improves antenna characteristics. This timepiece includes a wristwatch case which houses a timepiece module, and an antenna which is provided on the upper surface of the wristwatch case in a discontinuous annular shape along the circumferential direction of the wristwatch case and electrically connected to the timepiece module in the wristwatch case from outside the wristwatch case. As a result, since the antenna is electrically connected to the timepiece module in the wristwatch case from outside the wristwatch case, the antenna and the timepiece module are unfailingly and favorably connected to each other. Accordingly, the connection reliability of the antenna is ensured and radio waves are favorably received. In addition, the reception performance and the antenna gain are improved, whereby the antenna characteristics are improved.
