Abstract
An information processing system includes a portable sheet having a first face and a second face, a sensing unit that senses a physical quantity acting on the first face and a physical quantity acting on the second face, and a controller that executes a control based on a combination of physical quantities, the combination of physical quantities being a combination of the sensed physical quantity acting on the first face and the sensed physical quantity acting on the second face.
Claims9
An information processing system comprising:
- a portable device comprising a planar sheet having a first face and a second face, the second face being disposed on an opposite side of the planar sheet from the first face;
- a sensing unit comprising at least two sensors, a first sensor of the at least two sensors sensing a physical quantity acting on the first face and a second sensor of the at least two sensors sensing a physical quantity acting on the second face;
- a controller that executes a control based on a combination of physical quantities, the combination of physical quantities being a combination of the sensed physical quantity acting on the first face and the sensed physical quantity acting on the second face;
- and
- a memory that stores registered distribution characteristics and a control mode corresponding to the registered distribution characteristics, the registered distribution characteristics being determined for each combination of the user and the seat and indicative of a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution sensed when the user is sitting on the sheet placed on the seat,
- wherein the sensing unit senses a first distribution and a second distribution, the first distribution being a distribution of the physical quantity acting on the first face, the second distribution being a distribution of the physical quantity acting on the second face, and
- wherein the controller executes a control based on a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution,
- wherein the combination of the first distribution and the second distribution comprises a combination of the physical quantity acting on the first face and the physical quantity acting on the second face that are exerted from a seat and from a user sitting on the sheet placed on the seat,
- wherein if registered distribution characteristics matching a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution on the sheet that are being sensed by the sensing unit are stored in the memory, the controller executes a control according to the control mode corresponding to the matching registered distribution characteristics,
- wherein the control mode comprises a first control mode, and
- wherein in response to sensing of a first combination of the first distribution and the second distribution by the sensing unit while a device to be controlled is controlled in the first control mode, the controller executes a control that restricts use of the device, unless a second combination of the first distribution and the second distribution is sensed before a predetermined time elapses after the sensing of the first combination, the first combination being a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution that is indicative of the user leaving the seat, the second combination being a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution that matches the registered distribution characteristics corresponding to the first control mode,
- wherein in response to sensing of a third combination of the first distribution and the second distribution by the sensing unit before the predetermined time elapses after the sensing of the first combination by the sensing unit, the controller executes the control that restricts use of the device without waiting for the predetermined time to elapse, the third combination being a combination of the first distribution and the second distribution that indicates resting of an object on the sheet placed on the seat but does not match the registered distribution characteristics corresponding to the first control mode.
