[USB Control] ARGB LED Light System<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>

Period<\/th>\nJanuary 2018 – present<\/td>\n<\/tr>
Details<\/th>\n\n

A system for controlling ARGB LED (addressable full-color LED) tapes and LED matrices such as WS2812B from Windows and other devices.<\/p>\n

The system can also be used from Unity, Unreal, etc., and operates at high speed and stability at 60 fps. The system has also been adopted by arcade game machine manufacturers for their sound games.<\/p>\n

We are designing the hardware from draft to prototype and developing the software up to mass production.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/figure><\/div>\n

Development of Gait Analysis Middleware Using Pressure Sensors<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>

Period<\/th>\nJune 2021 – July 2021<\/td>\n<\/tr>
Details<\/th>\n\n

Developed middleware to analyze the center of gravity, stride length, and gait habits of a pedestrian by analyzing the output of a new type of pressure sensor at a national research institute. In July 2021, the device applying this software was exhibited at an exhibition organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.<\/p>\n

Produced image analysis software by full scratch when OpenCV could not be used in the past. This experience helped us to respond in the short term.<\/p>\n

Also analyzed the new pressure sensor (DLL) with permission, as there was a lack of documentation on it.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>

  • To prevent the file system from being corrupted even if the power supply is suddenly unplugged.

    <\/li>\n
  • To ensure that updates and dialogs do not occur on their own.

    <\/li>\n
  • Automatic Windows activation during mass production

    <\/li>\n

    \u3010Winner of the Toy of the Year Award\u3011
    Electronic Toy with Wireless LAN Network Design – Implementation<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>

    Period<\/th>\n2012 – 2014<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>
    Details<\/th>\n\n
    • Project objective<\/span><\/span>\n
      To realize a new way of playing with toys and arcade game machines through bidirectional communication using a wireless LAN.

      <\/li>\n
    • Structure\/Number of People<\/span><\/span>\n
      Regarding the communication system, 1 hardware person, and 1 software person were me. (There seemed to be a lot of people in the game development itself)

      <\/li>\n
    • My Position\/Role<\/span><\/span>\n
      Conception, design, implementation, and testing of the communication system.
      Providing operational DLLs and sample programs to the game production side.

      <\/li>\n
    • Challenges in Achieving the Objectives<\/span><\/span>\n
      The challenge was to devise a robust connection and data transfer method, even with limited equipment and a poor installation environment.\n
      • The electronic toy side has a small amount of RAM and only supports UDP with 11.b\/g.<\/li>\n
      • The game console (Windows) side could be crowded with players, who were an obstacle to radio interference.<\/li>\n
      • Multiple game consoles were deployed in the same location (beyond the number of channels of the wireless LAN) and the toy had to be able to communicate with approximately any of the consoles.<\/li>\n
      • The location of the game machines could not be chosen, so there was a risk of interference from other business WLANs.<\/li>\n
      • There was a risk of microwave ovens interfering with the wireless LAN if the installation location was close to a food court.<\/li>\n
      • Basic protocols such as DHCP were also unstable due to the unstable wireless LAN.<\/li>\n
      • The wireless LAN parent unit was installed in a game machine, but it was necessary to automate the setup of the parent unit during mass production at the factory.

        <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
      • What We Did to Tackle the Issues<\/span><\/span>\n
        • Prepared many wireless LAN parent units and created and studied the conditions of wireless LAN interference.<\/li>\n
        • Studied the interference in the 2.4GHz band (11.b\/g) caused by microwave ovens.<\/li>\n
        • Developed a robust network structure and protocol using UDP and were able to construct a system that can be mass-produced and operate stably in the field.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>
            <\/ul>
            • Business Outcomes<\/span><\/span>\n
              Achieved Inter-device communication without any restrictions on the installation location or the number of players.
              The unit won the 2012 Toy Award.

              Encoder, Decoder, and Issuing system for New 2D Symbols<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>

              Period<\/th>\nJanuary 2009 – present<\/td>\n<\/tr>
              Details<\/th>\n\n

              Created an Encoder, decoder, and publishing system for new 2D symbols at the request of a major publisher.
              The system uses Adobe Illustrator scripts to enable automatic, high-volume publishing.
              Also developed a decoder (image recognition) for environments with poor shooting conditions.
              The basic specifications were provided by the customer, and we developed the detailed specifications and implementation.
              It is probably available in large quantities in the world.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n
