WIRELESS TAG FOR SENSOR CONTROL, MOBILE OBJECT, AND INSPECTION SYSTEM
A wireless tag for sensor control is connected to a sensor and configured to control execution of measurements using the sensor. The wireless tag for sensor control includes: an antenna for receiving a radio wave or a magnetic field transmitted from an external wireless device; a power generation unit configured to generate electric power based on the radio wave or the magnetic field received by the antenna; and a control unit configured to control the sensor using generated power, which is the electric power supplied from the power generation unit, wherein the control unit includes: a power supply control unit configured to use a portion of the generated power to execute power supply to the sensor; an acquisition unit configured to receive a detection result from the sensor operated by the execution of the power supply; and a transmission processing unit configured to transmit communication information including the detection result to the outside.
CONTEXT-SENSITIVE REMOTE EYEWEAR CONTROLLER
Context-sensitive remote controls for use with electronic devices (e.g., eyewear device). The electronic device is configured to perform activities (e.g., email, painting, navigation, gaming). The context-sensitive remote control includes a display having a display area, a display driver coupled to the display, and a transceiver. The remote control additionally includes memory that stores controller layout configurations for display in the display area of the display by the display driver. A processor in the context-sensitive remote control is configured to establish, via the transceiver, communication with an electronic device, detect an activity currently being performed by the electronic device, select one of the controller layout configurations responsive to the detected activity, and present, via the display driver, the selected controller layout configuration in the display area of the display.
GESTURE-BASED CONTROL OF PLURAL DEVICES IN AN ENVIRONMENT
A computer-implemented method includes: predicting, by a computing device, devices for inclusion in an interface; generating, by the computing device, the interface including areas corresponding to the devices; detecting, by the computing device, a user selection of one of the areas of the interface; detecting, by the computing device, a hand gesture associated with the selected one of the areas; and transmitting, by the computing device, data defining the hand gesture to a respective one of the devices corresponding to the selected one of the areas, thereby causing the respective one of the devices to execute a command based on the hand gesture.
Electronic Signage Assembly
An electronic signage assembly for communicating with a person proximate to a vehicle includes a message module, which comprises a receiver communicatively engaged to a screen, and a remote controller, which comprises a transmitter communicatively engaged to a selector. The screen is rectangular and can selectively display a respective preprogrammed message of a plurality of preprogrammed messages. A plurality of resiliently compressible cups is engaged to the message module and can be compressed between the message module and a window of a vehicle to mount the message module with the screen being visible through the window. The transmitter is in wireless communication with the receiver. The selector, which is communicatively engaged to the transmitter, is utilized by a user for selection by of a respective preprogrammed message. The transmitter communicates the selection to the message module for display of the respective preprogrammed message to persons proximate to the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Electrical equipment includes a housing and serves as power distribution equipment provided on a power supply channel. The electrical equipment further includes an execution unit and a processing unit. The execution unit controls and/or monitors an appliance to be electrically connected to the electrical equipment. The processing unit performs information processing related to the appliance. The execution unit and the processing unit are held by the housing. The execution unit controls and/or monitors the appliance based on a result of the information processing performed by the processing unit.
CUTTING TOOL, TOOL SYSTEM AND CUTTING INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD
A cutting tool includes: a cutting section having a cutting edge; a sensor provided in the cutting section; and a communication unit provided in the cutting section. The communication unit transmits, to a processing device provided outside the cutting tool, measurement information relating to measurement results of the sensor and including serial numbers corresponding to the measurement results after a timing of a start of cutting by the cutting edge.
Operating system, information processing device, control system, and infrared output device
An operating system includes an air conditioner and an infrared output device. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit. The infrared output device is configured to receive first information on an instruction to a first-type apparatus other than the air conditioner and operable by an infrared signal and transmit an infrared signal corresponding to the first information to the first-type apparatus. The air conditioner further includes a management device configured to manage the first-type apparatus. The management device includes a command information receiving unit configured to receive second information on a command content, and a determination unit configured to determine whether there is a deviation between a behavior of the first-type apparatus and the command content, based on the behavior of the first-type apparatus and the second information.

Magnetic bluetooth eyeglasses
Magnetic Bluetooth eyeglasses are revealed. A Bluetooth circuit module is mounted in a mounting space of a temple and provided with a built-in Bluetooth unit connected to mobile devices. The Bluetooth circuit module further includes a microphone, a speaker, a touch switch, and a power connection base. The temple is connected to a power supply device by magnetic attraction between first and second magnetic members while the power supply device is in contact with the power connection base of the Bluetooth circuit module. Thereby users are not bothered by wires while in use and the eyeglasses are more convenient to use. Moreover, the eyeglasses can still be used during charging process. Users only need to replace the power supply device with a new one already charged instead of taking off the whole eyeglasses. The eyeglasses which prevent moisture infiltration provide longer service life.
