In an information processing apparatus and an information display method of this invention, user operates client computer to connect it to server computer by using communication line to carry out, when user accepts offer of service, e.g., offer of information, video viewing or order of goods, etc., an operation to display entrance hall within virtually actualized space on the display of the client computer, and to further display thereon plural shops by a specific pattern in relation to the entrance hall. As an example of the specific pattern, there is used a pattern such that entrance hall is disposed at one side of polygon, respective shops are disposed at other respective sides, and the entrance hall is caused to have a height capable of viewing other respective shops by bird's eye. Thus, in the three-dimensional GUI, the retrievability and the functional availability are increased. In addition, it becomes possible to also adopt, in a natural form, the concept with which many users who have used the two-dimensional GUI are familiar.

This invention is relative with a text displaying terminal unit used for preparation, transmission/reception and display of a text message. A text message entered by a user is collated to a keyword and, if there is a keyword in the text, displaying attributes of the text and/or the background image are added to the text to send the resulting text added by the displaying attributes to a server (400). Alternatively, the server may collate the text to the keyword to add the displaying attributes of the text and/or the background image to the text. A receiving side terminal unit receives an XML document (240b), added by the displaying attributes, from the server to display the XML document added by the displaying attributes as a motion text message. This motion text message may also be provided by the server to the user as the Web information.

The invention provides an electrical program guide system and method by which a desired program can be rapidly selected directly from among a large number of programs with certainty. A program selection screen as a multi-screen is formed from nine reduced screens reduced to one third in the horizontal and vertical directions from screens of programs broadcast on different broadcasting channels. A plurality of such program selection screens are transmitted to a reception side. On the reception side, the program selection screens are stored into a virtual frame memory so that reduced screens of them may make a single virtual screen. From among the reduced screens of the virtual frame, desired 3.times.3 reduced screens are read out and displayed on a multi-screen of full motion. A viewer finds and directly selects a desired program from within the 3.times.3 reduced screens of full motion displayed as the multi-screen. The array of the reduced screens can be automatically changed, based on program enjoyment histories, so that a reduced screen of a program enjoyed frequently by the viewer is disposed at a position which facilitates selection by the viewer such as the upper left position of the screen. The array may be customized such that it is changed to an arbitrary array based on a desire of the viewer.

In a sound producing apparatus and a sound producing method of this invention, at least underlying sound representing situations of the place within virtually actualized space and ornamental sound corresponding to object within the virtually actualized space which is not independent of presence or absence of display on a display unit are produced to set virtual sound space corresponding to the virtually actualized space displayed on the display unit. Thus, speech (sound) can be utilized as means for grasping spatial information as in the actual world within the virtually actualized space, and offer of information utilizing speech (sound) can be made. In addition, the advertisement effect can be also increased.

The present invention is concerned with an audio equipment capable of processing video signals and a method of displaying operation of the acoustic equipment. An input selector switch 1 is supplied with reproduced audio signals from devices connected to a tuner unit 2 and input terminals 3, and supplies a signal to a sound field processing DSP unit 4. A signal processed by the DSP unit 4 is applied through a muting switch 5 to an output terminal 6. An input selector switch 7 is supplied with reproduced video signals from devices connected to input terminals 8, and supplies a signal to a graphic controller (GDC) 9 which generates a video signal to display an image. One of a signal generated by the GDC 9 and an original video signal are selected by a switch 10, and applied to an output terminal 11. The GDC 9 also generates an image simulating a control panel. When a key switch 13 is operated, the display corresponding to the operated key in the simulating image is varied.

An on-line terminal device for displaying a virtual reality space based on the information purveyed by an on-line server. The on-line terminal device facilitates recognition of the position(s) in the virtual reality space and acquisition of the information in the virtual reality space. A guide picture representing the position information in the virtual reality space is pre-displayed in an iconized state on a display. On entry of data commanding the opening of the iconized guide picture, the guide picture is opened for representing the position information in the virtual reality space on the display.

An information processing apparatus includes: a storage unit storing content data and first group identification information for identifying first groups in which the content data are arranged in a predetermined unit; a parameter output unit outputting a parameter representing an amount of displacement of an operating object in response to an operation on the operating object which can be displaced in a predetermined range by a user's operation; a selection unit sequentially selecting the content data while the parameter is in a first range and sequentially selecting the first groups by sequentially selecting the first group identification information stored in the storage unit while the parameter is a value in a second range; and a notification unit notifying what content data is selected when the content data are selected by the selection unit and notifying what group is selected when the first groups are selected by the selection unit.

摘要:
A browser generates a sound of track 0 recorded in a MIDI file named music.mid. A Sony_AudioClip node receives data of the music.mid file as an event, outputting the data from a musicData field thereof to a musicData field of a Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node. The Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node interpolates a value between a value of a high sound and a value of a low sound prescribed by a keyValue field, outputting a result of the interpolation from value_changed. A PositionIP.value_changed field of a PositionInterpolator node outputs position data corresponding to data of the height of the sound supplied from the Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node to a CONE_OBJ.set_translation field of a CONE_OBJ Transform node. As a result, the position of an object is changed in synchronization with the generation of a sound.
