Abstract:
In a content supply system, in order to use a streaming server to perform a live distribution, a user PC used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center. When the user PC sends desired reservation information to the server reservation control center via the Internet, if the reservation is accepted, a reservation ID only used for authentication of the reservation is created and sent from the server reservation control center to the user PC via the Internet. When a distribution request is sent from the user to the streaming server, authentication processing using this reservation ID is performed.
Abstract:
An information-processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to select one of a plurality of input operation modes of the absolute coordinate input unit. One of the input operation modes is a specific mode allowing a display range to be moved to a desired position in a state where the highest resolution of a display unit integrated with the absolute coordinate input unit is lower than the resolution of an entire screen. The information-processing apparatus has a configuration in which, when an operation face of the absolute coordinate input unit is touched to carry out a drag operation in this specific mode, the distance of a movement made in the drag operation is detected, and the position of the display range is then changed by moving the display range by the detected distance.
Abstract:
In a content distribution system, content distribution control server, content transmission processing control method, content transmission processing control program, content transmission processing control program storage medium, content transmission device, content transmission control program, and content transmission control program storage medium, content can be reliably transmitted in accordance with the communication environment of a user terminal. A live casting server 150 of a server reservation control center 5 limits the number of streams by which the user PC 4 performs the parallel transmission of a plurality of live content at different transmission rates, in accordance with the type of circuit, which can previously prevent the user PC 4 from performing the parallel transmission of live content using the untransmittable number of streams, thus making it possible to reliably transmit the live content in accordance with the communication environment of the user PC 4.
Abstract:
To allow a distributor to take into account the capacity of content distribution targets or service fee when making a reservation for live distribution of content. In a content supply system 100, in order to use a streaming server 102 to perform a live distribution, a user PC 106 used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center 101 over the Internet 103. Here, the streaming server 102 has channels for distribution of a plurality of channels and can carry out distribution processing on the respective channels in the same time zone. The respective channels have a preset service fee and capacity of distribution targets and the user can specify which channel should be used for distribution taking into account these settings when making a reservation.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is disclosed which includes: an allocation device configured to allocate each of a plurality of picture display areas to each of a plurality of picture groups each made up of a plurality of pictures, the picture display areas being arrayed in a first direction on a screen for displaying pictures; and a display control device configured to display each of the pictures constituting each of the picture groups in screen locations which correspond to the picture display areas allocated to the picture groups and which are arrayed in a second direction different from the first direction and are determined by times associated with the pictures.
Abstract:
The present invention improves operatability provided for the user as operatability to specify a display range in an information-processing apparatus employing an absolute coordinate input unit such as a touch panel. The information-processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to select one of a plurality of input operation modes of the absolute coordinate input unit. One of the input operation modes is a specific mode allowing a display range to be moved to a desired position in a state where the highest resolution of a display unit integrated with the absolute coordinate input unit is lower than the resolution of an entire screen. The information-processing apparatus has a configuration in which, when an operation face of the absolute coordinate input unit is touched to carry out a drag operation in this specific mode, the distance of a movement made in the drag operation is detected, and the position of the display range is then changed by moving the display range by the detected distance.
Abstract:
To secure a communication path between a distribution server that distributes content to clients and a terminal apparatus of a content distributor more reliably while content is distributed by live distribution. In a content supply system 100, in order to use a streaming server 102 to perform a live distribution, a user PC 106 to be used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center 101 over the Internet 103. When the reservation is accepted and the content is sent from the user PC 106 to the streaming server 102, data is sent via a dedicated server connection network 108.
Abstract:
To allow many users to efficiently use the functions of a processing server that performs predetermined processing, via a network and also to prevent interference by illegal users. In a content supply system 100, in order to use a streaming server 102 to perform a live distribution, a user PC 106 to be used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center 101. When the reservation is accepted, the user PC 106 sends a reconfirmation (reconfirmation of the reservation) to the server reservation control center 101 by six hours before the distribution start time according to the reservation. If the reconfirmation is not made by six hours before, the server reservation control center 101 cancels the reservation. On the other hand, if the reconfirmation is made by six hours before, the server reservation control center 101 confirms the reservation and carries out billing processing.
Abstract:
A semiconductor IC device in which an N-type semiconductor layer is formed in a P-type semiconductor substrate; the N-type layer is divided by a P.sup.+ -type insulation region into plural island regions; and an IIL is formed in a first island region while an NPN transistor is formed in a second island region, wherein an N-type up-diffused layer is formed from the bottom of the first island region up while an N-type well region is formed from the surface of the first island region down, and N.sup.+ -type buried layers are formed near the bottoms of the first and the second island region.
Abstract:
Notification is sent to an upper layer via a control device 2 (a device for managing operation buttons) provided between operation buttons “A-1”, “A-2” and the like and devices for operation input “Device A”, “Device B” and the like such as a pointing device for executing application processing. Function assignment and the like are put under management by the control device 2, so that any modification or change is not required in the OS, drivers, and applications in association with change in key assignment, which is advantageous and effective for reduction of cost and time for product development.
