20090203440IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND INPUT INTERFACE APPARATUS - For an input interface apparatus for recognizing the motion of an object, there may be cases where the brightness of the object to be captured is insufficient, and thus, a camera takes an image of the object operated by the object, a depth position detector detects the position of the object based on captured frames, an action identifying unit identifies an action of the player based on a result on the detection of the object, an input receiving unit receives the action as an instruction to an input-receiving image displayed on a display, and in response to the action, an illumination control unit raises the brightness of the image projected on the display higher than that before the action is detected.08-13-2009
20090295988TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND RECEPTION APPARATUS - A transmission apparatus is disclosed. A buffer memory stores first image data and second image data having a higher resolution than the first image data as image data to be transmitted. A transmission section transmits either the first image data or the second image data as streaming data. A communication section receives from a reception terminal device a control message representing a network situation and a level of a load imposed on a processing device performing upscaling in the reception terminal device. A control section transmits the first image data when the message denotes the network situation is bad, transmits either the first image data or second image data when it denotes the network situation is good, and controls the reception terminal device not to perform the upscaling when it denotes the network situation is good and the level of the load imposed on the processing device is high.12-03-2009
20090295998INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD AND PROGRAM - There is provided an information processing device including a first content reproduction unit to acquire and reproduce first content data, a second content reproduction unit to acquire and reproduce second content data, a display control unit to generate a multiple image for displaying a first image reproduced by the first content reproduction unit and a second image reproduced by the second content reproduction unit on one screen, a display unit to display the multiple image generated by the display control unit, and an operation processing unit to cause the display control unit to change at least one of a position, a size and a transparency of the first image or the second image according to operation information input by a user.12-03-2009
20090300108Information Processing System, Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method, and Program - An information processing system includes: a parent terminal having a storage section storing device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal, a generation section generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with the device information, and a transmission section transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal; and a child terminal having a receiving section receiving the transmission data, and a display section displaying a user interface screen or a content playback screen on the basis of the transmission data.12-03-2009
20100115521MEDIATION SERVER, TERMINALS AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING METHOD - A highly convenient data processing technique is provided.05-06-2010
20100240320RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE, PROGRAM AND RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD - Provided is a radio communication device for operating in an autonomous distributed manner which includes a compression unit that compresses streaming data, a control unit that controls a compression rate of streaming data of the compression unit according to a distance from other radio communication device, a transmission unit that transmits the streaming data compressed by the compression unit to the other radio communication device.09-23-2010
20100261432Radio Communication Device, Audio Data Reproducing Method and Program - Provided is a radio communication device including a communication unit, a memory unit capable of storing first audio data, a distance estimation unit that estimates a distance from an external device serving as a transmission source which transmits a radio signal based on a predetermined condition related to a field intensity and a noise component of the radio signal received by the communication unit, a communication control unit that controls the communication unit to transmit an audio data transmission request addressed to the external device serving as the transmission source based on the estimated distance estimated by the distance estimation unit, when the first audio data is being reproduced, and a reproduction control unit that adjusts a reproducing volume of the first audio data and a reproducing volume of second audio data, when the first audio data is being reproduced and the communication unit receives a radio signal corresponding to the second audio data transmitted from the external device serving as the transmission source in response to the transmission request.10-14-2010
20100261433Radio Communication Device, Program, Radio Communication Method, and Radio Communication System - Provided is a radio communication device including a reception unit that receives a radio signal, a measurement unit that measures a field intensity of the radio signal received by the reception unit, a determination unit that determines whether the radio signal received by the reception unit satisfies a predetermined condition for a noise component, and an estimation unit that estimates a distance from a transmission source device of the radio signal based on the field intensity of the radio signal determined by the determination unit to satisfy the predetermined condition.10-14-2010
20100267335COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, PROGRAM, AND DATA SELECTION METHOD - The present invention aims to enable appropriate selection of data to be transmitted/received based on the distance between communication devices.10-21-2010
20110080478INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - There is provided an information processing apparatus including a reproduction section which acquires reproduction data corresponding to a reproduction position of content data by reproducing the content data, an output section which causes the reproduction data acquired by the reproduction section to be output from a region of an output device, the region corresponding to the information processing apparatus, a control signal acquisition section which acquires a control signal generated and output by a control device based on a predetermined input recognized by a recognition device, and an output control section which controls output of the reproduction data to the output device performed by the output section in accordance with the control signal acquired by the control signal acquisition section.04-07-2011
20110150427CONTENT PROVIDING SERVER, CONTENT REPRODUCING APPARATUS, CONTENT PROVIDING METHOD, CONTENT REPRODUCING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND CONTENT PROVIDING SYSTEM - A computer-implemented method provides logic for delivering content data. In one implementation, the computer-implemented method receives content data and metadata. The metadata is associated with a plurality of temporal positions in the content data. Based on the association, the content data is selectively delivered06-23-2011
