20090044227INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus includes a program information display controller configured to display recommendation information which relates to a recorded program, which is obtained in advance, and which is introduced in the program, and configured to display, when the recommendation information is searchable by web searching, a notification describing that the recommendation information is searchable by the web searching along with the recommendation information, and a search display controller configured to determine at least one search site in accordance with a type of the recommendation information when a user selects the searchable recommendation information and display a search dialog including the determined at least one search site as at least one candidate.02-12-2009
20090288119Information receiving apparatus, information receiving method, program, and broadcast system - Disclosed herein is an information receiving apparatus including an EPG processing section configured to acquire electric program guide information (EPG information) from broadcast waves in a suitably timed manner before storing the acquired EPG information; an iEPG information acquisition section configured to acquire Internet-derived EPG information (iEPG information) from the Internet; and a reservation system section configured to let programs be reserved for recording using time designations based on the iEPG information.11-19-2009
20100131901INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM - There is provided an information processing apparatus including a display control unit that displays a list screen of thumbnails associated with content, an execution unit that executes any application using the content associated with the thumbnails, and an image generation unit that generates an execution state image showing an execution state of the application by the execution unit, wherein the display control unit displays the execution state image generated by the image generation unit in at least a portion of an area where the list screen is displayed.05-27-2010
20110055281Information processing apparatus and information processing method - There is provided an information processing apparatus which includes a content collection unit which collects content, an output control unit which simultaneously provides main content and sub-content, and a content group creation control unit which sets a creation logic and an algorithm by using the algorithm based on the creation logic, a content group in which content to be recommended for the user is assembled from a plurality of content collected by the content collection unit. The content group creation control unit creates a plurality of content groups. The plurality of content groups include a content group created based on a creation logic related to the main content and a content group created based on a creation logic related to the sub content. The output control unit causes the plurality of content groups to be displayed to the user.03-03-2011
20110055718Information processing apparatus and information processing method - A system and method for recommending content to a user. In embodiments of the system and method, one or more content groups is generated, at least one of the content groups including more than one type of content, and a display indicative of the one or more content groups is presented to the user.03-03-2011

20110046858WORK VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK VEHICLE - In this work vehicle, a control unit controls a shift in a speed gear of a transmission according to the vehicle velocity. The control unit determines whether or not the acceleration rate of the vehicle is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold when the vehicle velocity is within a predetermined first range. The control unit switches a lock-up clutch from a not-connected state to a connected state when the acceleration rate of the vehicle is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold. The control unit maintains the lock-up clutch in a not-connected state when the acceleration rate of the vehicle is greater than the predetermined threshold.02-24-2011

20100030499Status Detector for Power Supply, Power Supply, and Initial Characteristic Extracting Device for Use with Power Supply - In a status detector for a power supply, a power supply, and an initial characteristic extracting device for use with the power supply, a measuring unit obtains measured values of at least current, voltage and temperature of the electricity accumulating unit. A processing unit executes status detection of the electricity accumulating unit by using the measured values and the characteristic information of the electricity accumulating unit which is stored in a memory unit. A discrepancy detecting unit detects the presence of a discrepancy away from a theoretical value when a result of the status detection is changed over a predetermined threshold or reversed with respect to the measured values. A modifying unit modifies the characteristic information depending on the detected discrepancy.02-04-2010

20090174369Battery Management System - A battery management system which can output a battery state enabling optimum charge and discharge control to be performed even when a temperature variation occurs among individual single cells. A plurality of temperature sensors measure temperature values of a battery. A measurement unit measures a voltage and a current of the battery. A maximum/minimum temperature selection unit in a calculation unit determines a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature from the temperature values measured by the temperature sensors. An available power calculation unit calculates respective values of maximum available charge and discharge powers or maximum available charge and discharge currents of the battery corresponding to the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature based on the voltage and the current of the battery. A selection unit selects and outputs smaller maximum available charge and discharge powers or smaller maximum available charge and discharge currents from the respective values of the maximum available charge and discharge powers or the maximum available charge and discharge currents of the battery corresponding to the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature, which are calculated by the calculation unit.07-09-2009
20110161131Energy Saving Assistance System and Energy Saving Assistance Program - The present invention provides an energy saving assistance technique for creating a plan for selecting an energy saving solution to continuously clear a target value of energy saving in accordance with the Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy and a time when to introduce this selected solution with consideration through plural bases in total, in accordance with users need such as priority order of base selection. The present invention includes a user setting section for setting users need including a target value such as an annual rate of energy saving for every year and a priority order of base selection when carrying out an energy saving solution, an elemental effect calculation section for calculating an energy saving effect due to replacement with energy saving equipment (energy saving solution) for every base, and a consolidation for creating and outputting, based on the energy saving effect calculated for every base, an energy saving plan that continuously clears a target such as an annual rate of energy saving for every year and satisfies the users need.06-30-2011
