TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a power transmitting apparatus including a power transmission side communication unit for communicating with a power receiving apparatus, an information related to power transmission for determining a second transmission power corresponding to power desired by the receiving apparatus based on the reception of received power information transmitted from the power receiving devices at the transmission power information deriving unit, indicating that a received power level meet a predetermined level.
Abstract: There is provided a power transmitting apparatus including a power transmission side communication unit for communicating with a power receiving apparatus, a power transmission unit for transmitting power to the power receiving apparatus in a non-contact manner, a transmission power information deriving unit for increasing discretely a first transmission power to transmit from the power transmission unit to the power receiving apparatus, and deriving information related to power transmission for determining a second transmission power corresponding to power desired by the power receiving apparatus based on reception of received power information transmitted from the power receiving apparatus at the power transmission side communication unit, indicating that a received power level meet a predetermined level, and a transmission power determining unit for determining the second transmission power to transmit to the power receiving apparatus based on information related to power transmission derived by the transmission power information deriving unit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a motion detector circuit detects a predetermined motion of a moving object within a field of view as an indication that a remote control operation is to be started and, thereafter, tracks the movement of the object.
Abstract: An electronic appliance remote controller which includes a display screen (which may be part of the appliance, e.g. a TV screen) for displaying icons representing possible operations of the electronic appliance, and a motion detector circuit for detecting a motion within a field of view of the motion detector circuit. The motion detector circuit detects a predetermined motion of a moving object within the field of view as an indication that a remote control operation is to be started and, thereafter, tracks the movement of the object. The motion detector circuit outputs a cursor control signal representative of the motion of the object. A control circuit, connected to the display screen, the electronic appliance, and the motion detector circuit and supplied with the cursor control signal, controls the display screen to display a movable visual indicator, e.g. a cursor, whose own motion tracks the movement of the moving object and the electronic appliance to perform operations corresponding to the icons selected by the user using the visual indicator.

TL;DR: In this paper, an information processing apparatus including an operation input unit, an operation surface having virtual buttons variably set thereto, a position detection unit detecting whether a user touches or almost touches the operation surface of the operation input units, and a position at which the user touched or almost touched the operator's operation surface thereof, and pressure detection units detecting pressure applied by the user touching the operation surfaces thereof.
Abstract: Disclosed is an information processing apparatus including an operation input unit including an operation surface having virtual buttons variably set thereto, a position detection unit detecting whether a user touches or almost touches the operation surface of the operation input unit, and a position at which the user touches or almost touches the operation surface thereof, and a pressure detection unit detecting pressure applied by the user touching the operation surface thereof. The processing apparatus further includes a virtual button control unit interpreting, when the position detection unit has detected the position at which the user touches or almost touches the operation surface thereof, a virtual button corresponding to the detected position as a selected virtual button, and correcting, when the pressure detected is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, a layout of the virtual buttons such that a size of the selected virtual button is enlarged according to intensity of the detected pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, the exchange of community cards within a virtual space by an easy operation is discussed, where a display screen shown on the display section of the user terminal device is composed of virtual space display for displaying three-dimensional objects in virtual space, and a list window of belongings displayed by the user's own community cards, and when conversing with other users within the virtual space and the user wants to let another user participate in the community the user himself belongs to, the user can present community cards corresponding to the avatar.
Abstract: An invention allowing the exchange of community cards within a virtual space by an easy operation. A display screen shown on the display section of the user terminal device is composed of a virtual space display for displaying three-dimensional objects in a virtual space, and a list window of belongings displayed by the user's own community cards. The user can move freely within the virtual space while referring to the virtual space display, and when conversing with other users within the virtual space and the user wants to let another user participate in the community the user himself belongs to, the user can present community cards corresponding to the avatar, to a user for newly participating in the community, by drag-and-drop of any of the community cards on the avatar.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for interactive network session tracking from inbound source to net sale includes storing a unique session ID (identifier) in an entry in a session database, and associating the session ID with the user's actions such as page views, product detail views, and shopping cart additions and deletions.
Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for interactive network session tracking from inbound source to net sale includes storing a unique session ID (identifier) in an entry in a session database, and associating the session ID with an inbound source (origin) of the user of an interactive network site. The user's actions, such as page views, product detail views, and shopping cart additions and deletions, can also be stored in the session database associated with the session ID. The unique session ID is embedded in a digital offer that is stored in a transaction database such that net sale data is associated with the session ID. Reporting and correlation of transaction data and the user activity data can be performed offline for analysis of purchase and traffic patterns.
