20080209463 | Information management system and method, center processing apparatus and method, program and recording medium used therewith, and information processing apparatus and method, and program and recording medium used therewith - The present invention provides users with functions matching their preferences. In an information processing apparatus, a user-information analyzing unit analyzes user information and calculates a variation in parameter. A procedure selecting unit classifies, based on the calculated amount, the user into a predetermined group, and acquires, from a procedure database, a procedure corresponding to the group of the user. A basic part producing unit records, in a product's ROM, various set values. Based on the result of analysis by the user-information analyzing unit, a unique part producing unit records an initial parameter value in the product's ROM. A system controller controls a storage unit to store a characteristic amount extracted by an image-characteristic-amount extracting unit and setting conditions on the image processing which are supplied from a remote control signal receiving circuit so that both are associated to each other. The present invention may apply to television receivers. | 08-28-2008 |
20080212443 | Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program recording medium, and data recording medium - A management center registers user information that includes user identification information for identifying a user terminal and improvement-information identification information for identifying improvement information recorded in an optical disk and processed by the user terminal. When a user terminal requests improvement information through a network, the management center searches for another user terminal that can provide necessary information, according to user information, and obtains the improvement information from the another user terminal searched for, through the network. The management center then provides the obtained improvement information for the user terminal that requested it, through the network. | 09-04-2008 |
