Abstract:
A time-shift image distribution system includes an image server and a time-shift image requesting apparatus. The image server includes a first communication unit configured to carry out communications with the time-shift image requesting apparatus, an image database configured to store image data of captured images in association with meta information for image data of a captured image matching search-condition information, and an image providing unit configured to provide the image data of the captured image detected by the searching unit to the time-shift image requesting apparatus. The time-shift image requesting apparatus includes a second communication unit configured to carry out communications with the image server, and a unit configured to send a search request including information representing an imaging time and information for identifying a subject image as search-condition information to the image server via the second communication unit.
Abstract:
A control system, method and computer program product use control circuitry to respond to an optical detection of a wearable object worn by a user by initiating a service provided to the user, the service being associated with the wearable object.
Abstract:
A method of using contents includes the steps of setting public time information and private time information, the public time information being associated with each content and defined universally for use by a large number of unspecified users, the private time being associated with the content and defined for use by a small number of particular persons, and searching for a content according to the public time information and/or the private time information and using the content detected in the searching.

Abstract:
There is provided an audio illumination apparatus including an illumination unit, an audio output unit, a setting unit configured to set a parameter of at least one of illumination of the illumination unit and audio output of the audio output unit in accordance with a recognized user who is in a neighborhood, a transmission unit configured to transmit the parameter set by the setting unit to an audio illumination apparatus in the neighborhood, and a control unit configured to control the at least one of the illumination of the illumination unit and the audio output of the audio output unit in accordance with the set parameter.
Abstract:
There is provided a server including a reception unit configured to receive, from a client terminal, position information indicating a position of the client terminal, and direction information indicating a direction in which the client terminal is directed, and a search unit configured to search for image data provided with position information indicating an opposite position across a target object present in the direction indicated by the direction information with respect to the position of the client terminal based on the position information.
Abstract:
There is provided a mobile object including an input detection unit configured to detect an input from an outside, an acquisition unit configured to acquire environmental information detected by a sensor in a remote location, in accordance with a content of detection performed by the input detection unit, and a control unit configured to control an actuator other than a driving actuator in accordance with the environmental information acquired by the acquisition unit, the driving actuator relating to movement of the mobile object.
Abstract:
A communication system includes processing circuitry that responds to a recognition result by initiating an electronic communication session with a user-designated destination. The recognition result corresponds with a recognized gesture made by the user as detected by a sensor, and the user-designated destination corresponds with the recognized gesture. A method and non-transitory computer program product also respond to the recognition result in a similar manner.
