TL;DR: In this paper, a microprocessor unit (MPU) periodically monitors existence of voice input while usually maintaining a sleeping state, and calculates difference of integrated value of sampled voice input of a constant interval between before and after the interval, and correctly detects the start time of a voice interval by starting recognition only when the difference exceeds a threshold value which is set beforehand.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an energy saving equipment that includes a sensor information input means for inputting sensor information measured by a sensor, a set input means to input set information, an energy advice generation means for generating an energy-saving advice based on the sensor information and the set information and an energy action validation means for detecting energy saving action by the user based on sensor information.

TL;DR: In this article, an information terminal is provided with a radio LAN communication unit 23 connected to an access point provided on the home network at an infrastructure mode and acquiring radio setting information from the access point.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-way communication is periodically performed between the remote controller 10 and the air conditioner 20 through infrared ray transmitting/receiving portions 14, 15, where the Remote Controller 10 calculates a distance in respective directions near to and far from the Air Conditioner on the basis of a lapse time from the transmission of a command to the reception of result information, calculates the error between the calculated distance and distance information detected by the air Conditioner 20, and transmits the error to the airconditioner to correct it, so that the air conditioning is controlled

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a rotatable casing for a consumer electronics device, which can detect an external state via the casing and can change the detecting direction by turning, and can detect a state in the respective directions to the partition part by at least one rotational movement of the casing.
