Abstract:
There is provided an information processing system including an identifying unit that identifies a user and a target with whom the user requests to converse based on a signal detected by a first sensor arranged around the user, a signal processing unit that performs predetermined signal processing on signals detected by the first sensor and a second sensor arranged around the target, an output control unit that causes the signal detected by at least the second sensor and processed by the signal processing unit to be output to a first output unit arranged around the user, and a recognizing unit that recognizes, when a plurality of the targets are identified by the identifying unit, a selection request for selecting a specific target from among the plurality of targets based on the signal detected by the first sensor.
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 player device uses playlists having names of contents. Users can update the playlists via network. The player device includes a storage device for storing digital data of the contents, a reception/reception circuit for downloading playlists, a display for displaying the titles of contents included in the playlists, a pointing device for specifying displayed titles, a circuit for retrieving digital data from the storage device in the event that digital data of a content specified by the pointing device is stored within the storage device, and an output circuit for outputting the retrieved digital data.
Abstract:
A method for providing chronologic information that is generated by placing one or more pieces of related information according to information about elapsed time is provided. The method includes the steps of obtaining, by an obtaining unit, (i) basic information associating pieces of the related information with the information about time indicating positions on the chronologic information and (ii) information indicating a display form of the chronologic information; and providing, by a control unit, the chronologic information to a user by displaying the chronologic information in a display unit based on the information indicating a display form of the chronologic information by using the basic information.
Abstract:
There is provided an information delivery apparatus including a receiving portion to receive location information of a mobile communication terminal at a given time and acquired date and time of the location information from the terminal, an event information storage portion to store event information including an event place, date and time, a delivery terminal selecting portion to select the mobile communication terminal to which the event information is to be delivered based on the location information and the acquired date and time of the location information and on the event place, date and time, and an event information delivery portion to deliver the event information to the selected mobile communication terminal. The delivery terminal selecting portion selects the mobile communication terminal whose location indicated by location information is within a predetermined range and whose acquired date and time of the location information are before the event date and time.
Abstract:
There is provided a storage control device including: a filter detecting unit configured to detect a voice signal estimation filter for estimating a first voice signal heard by a specific user himself/herself; an estimation unit configured to estimate the first voice signal heard by the specific user himself/herself, on the basis of a voice signal including a second voice signal of the specific user collected by an air conduction sound collecting unit in accordance with the voice signal estimation filter detected by the filter detecting unit; and a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store the first voice signal estimated by the estimation unit.
Abstract:
Communication resources are appropriately used. An information processing device is an information processing device including an acquisition unit and a control unit. Here, the acquisition unit acquires a relative priority of each information processing device in a network built through autonomous wireless communication of a plurality of information processing devices. In addition, the control unit performs control such that a communication resource of the network is allocated based on the priority (a relative priority of each information processing device in the network) acquired by the acquisition unit.
Abstract:
There is provided a client terminal including a determination unit that determines, based on position information associated with a particular object, whether the particular object is included in an angle of view visually recognized by a user, and a guidance unit that guides the user when the determination unit determines that the particular object is not included in the angle of view visually recognized by the user.
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.
