20080270799 | Contents Generator and Method - Time stamped streams respectively generated by an AV stream generating means and data stream generating means are combined by a time-stamped contents generating means. Consequently, a time-stamped contents stream is generated which synchronizes the processing of an AV stream and multimedia data. | 10-30-2008 |
20120170856 | IMAGE CLASSIFICATION DEVICE, METHOD, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIA WITH PROGRAM THEREON, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - According to a conventional image classification device that extracts a feature from an image and classifies the image with use of the extracted feature, in the case where one image and another one image, which are included in an image group, each have a different feature, the one image and the other one image might be each classified into a different category. In order to solve this problem, an image classification device relating to the present invention calculates, with respect to each of persons appearing in a plurality of images included in an image group which have been photographed with respect to one event, a main character degree that is an index indicating an important degree in units of image groups, and classifies the images into any one of different classification destination events in units of image groups based on the calculated main character degrees. | 07-05-2012 |
20120281887 | IMAGE SORTING DEVICE, METHOD, PROGRAM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING SAID PROGRAM - Image group feature information indicating features of an image group composed of a plurality of images is calculated for each image group and, based on the calculated image group feature information and information indicating features of events into which image groups are to be classified, images are classified by image group. | 11-08-2012 |
20130004064 | IMAGE DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, PROGRAM AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - When photographing images including a person's face at an event, photographers tend to photograph images so that features of the event appear in a region around the person's face. An image data processing device of the present invention extracts image feature information so that an image feature calculated based on pixels in the region around the person's face, which tends to represent features of an event, is reflected more than that calculated based on pixels in a region remote from the person's face, which tends not to represent features of an event. This allows the image data processing device to calculate image feature information reflecting features of an event more than that calculated by a conventional image data processing device. The image data processing device therefore improves classification precision compared to the conventional device when classifying images using the image feature information calculated by the image data processing device. | 01-03-2013 |
20130339874 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD - Provided is a data processing device including: an acquisition unit which acquires a message and a threshold amount of time for the message; a display unit which displays the message; a user interface which receives instructions for selection of the displayed message; and a management unit which manages the message as a read message, irrespective of whether the user interface has received the instructions, when a threshold amount of time has elapsed since the message is displayed on the display unit. | 12-19-2013 |
20140040751 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Provided is a data processing device including: a selection unit which selects a server from among a plurality of servers; an acquisition unit which acquires messages from the plurality of servers; and a display unit which display a message acquired by the acquisition unit from the server selected by the selection unit, wherein the acquisition unit acquires, before acquiring a remaining message from the server, a message from a server which is next likely to be selected by the selection unit after the server. | 02-06-2014 |
20140177646 | NETWORK TERMINAL, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A network terminal including a communication unit for communicating with a device with which the network terminal communicates through a communication path, and a control unit for causing the communication unit, by controlling the communication unit, to transmit to the device a communication packet for maintaining the communication path at a transmission timing in every predetermined interval, wherein by controlling the communication unit, the control unit further causes the communication unit to transmit, if a terminal state of the network terminal is changed, to the device an information packet obtained by including terminal state information indicative of the terminal state in the communication packet, through the communication path even at a time different from the transmission timing. | 06-26-2014 |
20140288946 | ADVERTISEMENT TRANSLATION DEVICE, ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR TRANSLATING AN ADVERTISEMENT - An advertisement translation device is a device for translating an advertisement text displayed in a display area of a predetermined size in advertisement content, and displaying the translated advertisement text in the display area. The advertisement translation device includes: an advertisement text obtainment unit which obtains the advertisement text; a linguistic information obtainment unit which obtains linguistic information indicating a target language into which the advertisement text is to be translated; a translation unit which create translated text candidates by translating the advertisement text into the target language indicated by the linguistic information; and a selection unit which selects and outputs as a translated text, at least one of the translated text candidates a full text of which is displayable in a predetermined character size in the display area. | 09-25-2014 |
20140344840 | INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION DEVICE, INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION METHOD - An information recommendation device includes: a first evaluation unit which calculates, for each of a plurality of content items being broadcasted, a first evaluation value which is defined depending on a user; a second evaluation unit which calculates, for each of the content items, a second evaluation value which is defined based on a current reaction of public toward the content item; and a recommended program determination unit which determines a recommended content item based on the first evaluation value calculated by the first evaluation unit and the second evaluation value calculated by the second evaluation unit, the recommended content item being a content item recommended to the user for viewing. | 11-20-2014 |
