The present disclosure assists in searching for a specific apparatus among a plurality of apparatuses installed in an installation area. The electronic device includes: a storage portion, installation information for indicating a relationship between position information and a communication apparatus, where the position information is position information of a plurality of installation apparatuses installed in an installation area, and the communication apparatus is associated with the installation apparatus; a communication portion configured to receive an advertising signal transmitted by the communication apparatus installed in the installation area; an estimation portion configured to estimate a relative position between a device body and the installation apparatus associated with the communication apparatus based on identification information of the communication apparatus and the installation information included in a received advertising signal; and a display control portion configured to display causes relative position information on a display portion, and the relative position information is capable of identifying the estimated relative position between the device body and the installation apparatus.

A detection method of detecting hair for planting planted on a mesh of a mesh-like base material, includes: an image acquisition step of acquiring a pre-image of the mesh targeted for hair planting of the base material captured before hair planting and a post-image thereof captured after hair planting; a transformation matrix acquisition step of acquiring a posture transformation matrix of the mesh from the pre-image and the post-image; a difference step of acquiring a difference image between a transformed pre-image and the post-image, the transformed pre-image being obtained by transforming the pre-image with the posture transformation matrix; and a hair detection step of specifying the presence or absence or a hair planting position of hair for planting with respect to the mesh from the difference image.

A hair planting apparatus includes a base support mechanism that supports a base material, a hair holding mechanism that holds hair for planting on one side of the base material, and a hair planting part that knots the held hair for planting to the base material by hook needles. The hair holding mechanism includes a first gripping mechanism and a second gripping mechanism that individually grip the hair for planting, and the first gripping mechanism includes two sliding plates that slidably grip the hair for planting, an elastic body that applies gripping pressure to the two sliding plates, and a release mechanism that opens the two sliding plates to release the hair for planting.

A sewing machine external unit includes: a holder holding fabric; a driver being detachable from a bed of a sewing machine and driving the holder along an upper surface of the bed; a pressing member moving in an up-down direction according to movement of a sewing needle in the up-down direction, pressing the fabric while the sewing needle is stuck in the fabric, and rising together with the sewing needle in response to the sewing needle coming out of the fabric and rising; a position detector detecting a position of the pressing member in the up-down direction; a signal output part outputting a signal to the sewing machine; and a controller outputting a needle drive signal for driving the sewing needle from the signal output part to the sewing machine, and controlling driving of the holder and/or the sewing needle based on a detection result of the position detector.

A sewing machine that suppresses sewing defects is provided. The sewing machine includes: a sewing needle, held by a needle bar and moving back and forth while holding an upper thread; a shuttle, configured to hold a bobbin around which a lower thread is wound and which is housed in a bobbin case, and cooperating with the sewing needle to form a seam; a presser foot member, configured to press a to-be-sewn article at a sewing position directly below the sewing needle; a feeding mechanism, feeding the to-be-sewn article from the sewing position to a first direction; a needle drive portion, provided separately from a belt drive portion to synchronously move the sewing needle and the presser foot component in the first direction; and a control portion, which controls so that the needle drive portion and the belt drive portion operate independently.

The industrial sewing machine includes: a web server, based on a request from a web browser installed on an information terminal, providing the web browser with an operation screen simulating an operation panel, and receiving operation data generated by operating the operation screen; and a sewing machine control part, controlling a sewing machine operating part based on the operation data.

A hair planting apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting a base material where planting is performed, and including a work opening for planting, a hair planting unit for binding hair for planting to the base material in the work opening of the mounting portion, and a feed device disposed around the mounting portion and feeding the base material with a roller contacting the base material from below. In the hair planting apparatus, the feed device feeds the base material in at least two intersecting directions.

A sewing system includes: a robot manipulator; a plurality of assemblies attached to and detached from the robot manipulator and each configured to perform predetermined work on cloth; a server stores process data indicating a relationship between a plurality of processes for manufacturing a sewn product from the cloth and the assembly used in each of the plurality of processes; and a control device configured to select an assembly to be mounted to the robot manipulator based on the process data.

The disclosure improves the quality of seams in sewing using a sewing machine, and includes: a holder holding fabric; a driver being detachable from a bed of a sewing machine and driving the holder along an upper surface of the bed; a position detector detecting a position of a sewing needle of the sewing machine in an up-down direction; and a controller controlling driving of the holder, which is performed by the driver, based on a detection result of the position detector.

The present application effectively utilizes the operation information of a sewing machine. The operation information obtaining device includes: a storage portion, configured to store pattern information associating detection information and a sewing pattern of a sewing machine, where the detection information is configured to identify an action of a sewing needle of the sewing machine, and the sewing pattern corresponds to the detection information; an estimation portion, configured to estimate the sewing pattern of the sewing machine based on the pattern information and the detection information of the sewing needle detected by a detection device; and an obtaining portion, configured to obtain operation information of the sewing machine having the estimated sewing pattern.
