| 20120131018 | Item Selecting Apparatus And Method, And Computer Program - A favorite item set making section makes a favorite item set. A first rate calculating section calculates, with respect to a first set of items, a first rate of the number of items satisfying recommended item conditions to the number of all items. A user characteristic value calculating section calculates a user characteristic value by using the first rate. An item selecting section selects, from items in the favorite item set, a plurality of items including items satisfying the recommended item conditions to make a result item set. When the user characteristic value satisfies prescribed conditions, the rate of the number of items in the result item set which satisfy the recommended item conditions to the number of all items in the result item set is greater than the first rate and smaller than 1 except for a case where the first rate is 1. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120130848 | Apparatus, Method, And Computer Program For Selecting Items - A similar item set making section makes a similar item set corresponding to a target item. With respect to a first set of some or all of items in the similar item set, a first rate calculating section calculates a first rate. An item characteristic value calculating section calculates an item characteristic value by using the first rate. An item selecting section makes, from items in the similar item set, an associated item set corresponding to the target item. Recommended item conditions are for deciding whether or not an item should be recommended. The associated item set is designed so that when the item characteristic value satisfies prescribed item characteristic value conditions, the rate of the number of items satisfying recommended item conditions in the associated item set to the number of all items therein is greater than the first rate and smaller than 1. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120113221 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A combination image has a pair of 3D-presentation images horizontally or vertically arranged and resulting from compressing original 3D-presentation images into half size. One of the left-hand and right-hand haves or the upper and lower halves of the combination image is set as a to-be-enhanced image while the other is set as a reference image. A block having a prescribed number of pixels is formed in the to-be-enhanced image. The formed block extends at and around an interpolation object position. The reference image is searched for a reference block matching in pattern with the formed block. A value at a pixel in the reference block which positionally corresponds to the interpolation object position is decided to be a candidate value for an interpolation-result pixel. The interpolation-result pixel having the candidate value is placed at the interpolation object position to change the to-be-enhanced image into a resolution-enhanced image. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120106867 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus capable of performing good luminance correction without performing a cumbersome process is provided. The image processing apparatus includes an illumination light component estimation unit which calculates an estimated illumination light component of an original image, an estimated illumination light component correction unit which outputs a corrected estimated illumination light component obtained by correcting the estimated illumination light component, and a Retinex processing unit which corrects a luminance component of the original image by dividing the luminance component by the corrected estimated illumination light component. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120101890 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, DISPLAY METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A use history that at least associates a use subject identifier for identifying a user or a terminal device a user has used with a used item identifier, which is an item identifier for identifying an item used by a user, based on use information is stored in a use history storage section. Based on the use history, a degree of similarity between two item identifiers is calculated and using the degree of similarity, associated data causing a base item identifier, which is an item identifier of a base item, and an associated item identifier, which is an item identifier of an associated item similar to the base item to correspond to each other is created. A change value to change a point value managed for each use subject identifier is calculated. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120093202 | Radio communication device - A signal generator outputs a signal whose frequency is uniquely decided by frequency data set therein. A control section can set first data in the frequency generator as frequency data. The control section can transition among an access unimplementing state, an access stand-by state, and an access implementing state. A signal processing section can set second data in the signal generator as frequency data. The signal processing section can transition between an access allowed state and an access inhibited state. The control section transfers, to the signal processing section, a signal indicative of a desire to transition to the access implementing state and a signal indicative of transition of the control section from the access implementing state. The signal processing section transfers, to the control section, a signal indicative of transition of the signal processing section between the access allowed state and the access inhibited state. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120092764 | Stereoscopic glasses - Stereoscopic or 3D glasses include a half-wave phase difference plate, a first polarization-converting optical system, and a second polarization-converting optical system. The half-wave phase difference plate is movable between a used position and an unused position. The first polarization-converting optical system follows the half-wave phase difference plate when the half-wave phase difference plate is in its used position. The first polarization-converting optical system is uncovered when the half-wave phase difference plate is in its unused position. When the half-wave phase difference plate is in its used position, the glasses operate in a two-dimensionally viewing mode. When the half-wave phase difference plate is in its unused position, the glasses operate in a three-dimensionally viewing mode. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120060186 | INFORMATION RECEPTION APPARATUS, INFORMATION RECEPTION METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR INFORMATION RECEPTION, AND INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS - An information reception apparatus which allows a user to easily understand, from an electronic program guide, the information announced in a broadcast program, and which contributes to increasing viewer ratings of the broadcast program. The information reception apparatus (broadcast reception apparatus) is provided with: an electronic program information acquisition unit (tuner, control unit) for acquiring electronic program information; an announcement information acquisition unit (control unit, DEMUX unit) for acquiring information announced in the broadcast program from information included in the electronic program information acquired by the electronic program information acquisition unit or from information transmitted together with the electronic program information; and an announcement information output unit (control unit, AV output unit) for outputting the electronic program information and for outputting information indicating the presence or absence of the announcement information, based on the information acquired by the announcement information acquisition unit. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120033765 | RECEPTION DEVICE, PROGRAM, AND RECEPTION METHOD - A reception device provided with a broadcast reception unit which receives a broadcast at an instructed frequency, reproduces the broadcast, and outputs the result (steps | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120023538 | BROADCASTING RECEIVER, BROADCASTING RECEIVER CONTROL METHOD, BROADCAST STATION IDENTIFYING METHOD, BROADCASTING RECEIVER CONTROL PROGRAM, AND BROADCAST STATION IDENTIFYING PROGRAM - A selected station is identified from the current position and the reception frequency of that selected station (S | 01-26-2012 |
