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 |

20090259653 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus searches search target frame images in video data to find a frame image matching a search query frame image. An extractor extracts characteristic quantities expressing the characteristics of respective images. A reliability judge judges the reliability of the values of each characteristic quantity in a characteristic quantity group extracted from the search query frame. If certain characteristic quantity values in the search query frame are judged to be of low reliability, the converter converts those values into predetermined values. Values are similarly converted for all search target frames. A comparer compares the converted characteristic quantities in the search query frame to the converted characteristic quantities in all search target frames. On the basis of the comparisons, a decision unit then chooses a search solution frame that matches the search query frame. In so doing, search processing robustness with respect to data variance is improved. | 10-15-2009 |

20090204802 | DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION GENERATOR AND RESTORING DEVICE - Check data corresponding to distributed confidential information is generated, and the confidential information and check data are distribution-coded. When the confidential information is restored, the confidential information and check data are restored and it is determined whether or not the restored check data correspond to the restored confidential information. If the data correspond to the information, the information is determined to be correct and is output. If not, the information is judged to be false (i.e., tampered distributed information), and a symbol indicating that falsity has been detected is output. | 08-13-2009 |
