Vehicle control device and vehicle control method
A vehicle control device includes: a first behavior mode recognition unit that executes a first behavior mode recognition process of recognizing a first behavior mode of a target person based on an image captured by a first camera having a first resolution; a second behavior mode recognition unit that, when a distance between the vehicle and the target person is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, recognizes a second behavior mode of the target person based on an image captured by a second camera having a second resolution higher than the first resolution; a target person behavior recognition unit that recognizes a behavior of the target person against a vehicle based on the first behavior mode and the second behavior mode; and a control unit that executes predetermined control on the vehicle based on the behavior of the target person.
Image capture module and electronic terminal
A device includes at least one camera, a transmitter, and a main controller. The at least one camera is configured to collect an image and obtain an image signal. The transmitter includes a first signal end and a second signal end. The first signal end includes a first quantity of connection channels electrically connected to the photographing module, and the second signal end includes a second quantity of connection channels electrically connected to the main controller. The first quantity is greater than the second quantity. The image signal is transmitted from the first signal end to the second signal end. The main controller module is configured to receive and process the image signal.

Electric shaver with imaging capability
System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

Using remote sensors to resolve start up latency in battery-powered cameras and doorbell cameras
An apparatus comprises a camera and one or more sensors. The camera generally has a low power deactivated mode. The one or more sensors are generally remotely located with respect to the camera. The one or more sensors may be configured to communicate a signal to the camera in response to a trigger condition. The camera is generally configured to activate in response to receiving the signal from the one or more sensors.

Image pickup apparatus that controls operations based on voice, control method, and storage medium
An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit that obtains video, an audio input unit that collects sound and a control unit that controls recording of the video based on a wake word and a control word included in the sound collected by the audio input unit. In a case where the control word that gives an instruction to stop recording the video is included in the sound, the control unit stops recording the video and records video data before a start time of the wake word as a video file.
Recording and reproducing apparatus and method of controlling recording and reproducing apparatus
An apparatus includes a first writing unit configured to write data to a recording medium in a first unit, a second writing unit configured to write data to the recording medium in a second unit smaller than the first unit, a reading unit configured to read data from the recording medium, and a control unit configured to perform control, in response to an instruction of reading data from the recording medium during writing data by the first writing unit, to stop writing data by the first writing unit, and then to read data from the recording medium by the reading unit, and, in response to completion of reading data from the recording medium, to write data in the second unit by the second writing unit.
Electronic device and control method
An electronic device includes a connection unit and a control unit. The control unit enables a power supply path for supplying power from a first battery connected to an external device to the electronic device and enables a power supply path for supplying power from a second battery connected to the external device to a predetermined functional unit of the external device, in a case where the first battery or the second battery connected to the external device is not charged. The control unit disables a power supply path for supplying power from the second battery connected to the external device to the predetermined functional unit and enables a power supply path for supplying power from the electronic device to the first battery or the second battery, in a case where the first battery or the second battery connected to the external device is charged.
