| 20080209485 | INFORMATION PROVISION APPARATUS, INFORMATION RECEIVING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention comprises a synchronization section for performing synchronization of an AV stream and metadata, and a capsulization section for capsulizing an AV stream and metadata every metadata unit, and by reconfiguring metadata unit by unit and capsulizing an AV stream by this means, makes possible partial execution of metadata, and makes it possible to carry out program distribution for processing a segment comprising part of an AV stream, speeding up of response times, reduction of the necessary storage capacity, and reduction of network traffic. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080228713 | Image Formation Device and Image Formation Method - The present invention is provided with a text string/material correspondence table in which material data for creating computer graphics is associated with a set of the material names of material data, and a hierarchical structural description which describes a feature of material data in a hierarchical structure. Material data corresponding to the feature is searched using the hierarchical structural description when a feature is input, searched material data is stored, and searched material data and the material name of material data are registered with the text string/material correspondence table. Material data corresponding to the material name is acquired using the text string/material correspondence table when a material name is input, and computer graphics are created using acquired material data. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090033666 | SCNEARIO GENERATION DEVICE, SCENARIO GENERATION METHOD, AND SCENARIO GENERATION PROGRAM - There is provided a scenario generation device capable of automatically generating a scenario for generating an animation of rich expression desired by a user even from a text created by the user who has no special knowledge about creation of animation. In the device, a scenario generation unit ( | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090147009 | VIDEO CREATING DEVICE AND VIDEO CREATING METHOD - A video creating device for creating a video full of originality from a text. A video viewer ( | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100010951 | CHARACTER OUTFIT AUTOCONFIGURATION DEVICE, CHARACTER OUTFIT AUTOCONFIGURATION METHOD, AND CHARACTER OUTFIT AUTOCONFIGURATION PROGRAM - Provided is a character outfit autoconfiguration device capable of configuring outfit for a character matched with a content of a scenario without requiring specification of outfit by a user or using user environment information. The character outfit autoconfiguration device ( | 01-14-2010 |
| 20110026526 | INFORMATION PROVISIONING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROVISIONING METHOD - Information provisioning includes acquiring a data stream of content that is composed of a plurality of segments, and actual data of metadata that includes information related to the content and information related to the plurality of segments. The metadata is divided into metadata processing units (MPU) corresponding to segments subjected to processing in the plurality of segments. A capsulized stream is generated that includes packetized elementary stream (PES) packets acquired by packetizing the segments subjected to processing of the data stream and metadata PES packets acquired by packetizing at least one MPU, the metadata PES packets including control information of the metadata. The control information includes an overwrite_flag which indicates whether previous metadata is to be overwritten. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110105857 | IMPRESSION DEGREE EXTRACTION APPARATUS AND IMPRESSION DEGREE EXTRACTION METHOD - An impression degree extraction apparatus which precisely extracts an impression degree without imposing a strain on a user in particular. A content editing apparatus ( | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110252454 | INFORMATION PROVISIONING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROVISIONING METHOD - Information provisioning includes acquiring one of an audio and a video elementary stream of content that is composed of a plurality of segments, and actual data of metadata that includes information related to the content. The metadata is divided into metadata processing units (MPU) corresponding to segments subjected to processing in the plurality of segments. A transport stream of a MPEG-2 system is generated that includes packetized elementary stream (PES) packets acquired by packetizing the segments of the data stream and metadata PES packets acquired by packetizing at least one MPU. | 10-13-2011 |
